Patriotic Design wall

 I am starting to get into that End of Year Organizing thing... 

Well... not really - but it made me sound all organized like - but I really shouldn't tell fibs like that!

In emptying my parents POD there was an antique table that I wanted. Its one of those that fold down to a rectangle and up to a circle. It was my Grandmas and I just liked it - so I added it to the end of my sewing table.  ( again ---- fib - my youngest son did it for me because he rocks!!)

In doing so, I can pile more stuff!! That I will just admit to! But in the *stuff* are a few projects not done... and now...


This one ( above) A whole bunch of us made blocks and we all shared them - and the others are already in quilts, and a few people actually finished theirs. I took some blocks and obviously Mine needed to marinate... but now... its on its way to being done!!  ( and yep!! a QOV)

Next Quilts of Valor hosted a Mystery - maybe it was called "20 stars for 20 years" ?  and I started and then life, and now.... I have ideas of how to finish it up - I am not sure I am going to follow the instructions...I think I see a different way I'd like to finish it and get it up to QOV size....





The little scary part of this is... I might be getting my Sewjo back full time... or I might have just jinxed it.  


Oh and on the quilting front - I just started an Antique quilt for a client from 1880!!! Oh My Stars - I love it.. this is my favorite block....

    Isn't is scary how any flat surface in the sewing room just attracts stuff? Love both your OOVs in progress. Hope you get in lots of stitching time this week. Have avery happy Thanksgiving.

    Fabulous Quilts of Valor projects. I have been feeling a similar need to organize and finish up some things as we approach the end of the year. Hoping that's a good thing!!

    ...I like the first quilt, particularly the fabric with the white polka-dots. Happy Thanksgiving, Alycia.
