Design Wall Monday

It's official - we are back in school...,, *sigh*. 

My design wall for today is actually my ironing board and my cutting table. This weekend the Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival was in session, so I decided to go check it out... and a project jumped in my arms, and followed me home....


Batiks - I have never sewn much with Batiks - but after finishing the Super Secret Summer Project Quilt of Valor All in Batiks - I think I am in Love!!!


Such Pretty Batiks

Now wish me luck that I get the mojo to sew!!!

At the Rocky Mtn Quilt Festival - Irena Bluhm brought her collection of quilts, and again, I fell in love!! Check out this hummingbird on one of her quilts!!



They also had a Route 66 display with a ton of quilts depicting the Route... I liked a lot of them - this one sort of reminded me of home, and I got a little homesick, then I remembered that it was 105 where I am from, and decided I liked where I am.....

Wish us luck this week, Big Bit is taking a college course this year as a senior in high school, so he started that. Middle Bit is a 9th grader and little bit is in 6th grade. We do on online virtual academy, and this is my first year teaching high school - geometry doesn't scare me as much as the digital technology class does...

I for one could use a digital technology class. Why don't you share as you go along and we'll all enjoy the adventure.

My husband and I just took a RTE 66 road trip, do you know where I might be able to find more pictures of the quilts? missysaprons@gmail.com

Really?!! The project jumped into your arms...you were a helpless victim of a project attack?!? That happens to me too!

I hadn't sewn with Batiks until My Guy asked for a quilt with them. Now I really like them.

Good luck with school. The Drama Teen is taking on line geometry this year, we'll see how that goes.
