The Design Wall.... aka - the new art is up

 We always tease that My Design wall is actually a traveling art show - and you never know what will be on display... or if you will even like the artist!!!

But!! 

That wall is getting a little use this week!!!

My Quilts of Valor 20 Stars for 20 years ( that is the official name of the quilt pattern I believe) is morphing into something else..... so It will have to get a new name - but at this time... 

This is what I am auditioning:


I think those will go all around and then I will measure again - and see what I like next ;-)
The goal is to make it 60 x 80 


You may have heard - there is a new mystery out from Quiltville - and since my RWBs were already out - I thought - Why not???  The quilt Is supposed to finished around 87 inches square - and I do need a new quilt for my bigger bed..... Maybe it will all work out?


and look at my puppy - she finally fell asleep next to me!!! This is a new thing for her, usually she bites my feet, and barks at the sewing machine!!



I am so excited!!!! 

Saturday we had a Horse Competition - and it was ALL day!! I sort of expected it to end about 2pm - but at 6pm we were still there. Since it was REALLY cold outside, and she can not stay inside that long - she went with us.

She did pretty well for the first time around 80 horses , trailers, lots of people, and gunshots. We alternated between the cab of the pick up, and her travel kennel in the horse trailer. I am pretty sure she did not sleep the whole day.

I got very chilled, so the last 20 minutes she and I were in the cab with the heat blasting and she was watching everything and snuggling me... I think she was a little tired too - but!! maybe I tired her out enough - that she will nap a few times this week?

Back to work you all!!!  ( and that is not a bad thing - I LOVE my job !!)

  1. The quilt on your design wall is looking good. It's always hard to figure out next steps when you decide to go off the map a bit. I like your fabrics for the BH mystery. It's a lot of HSTs to start!

  4. Exciting new experience for your pup. I'm excited about your new mystery project. I had saved that design you are working on, with plans to make it but of course it hasn't happened yet. I like your hourglass units around that center.

  6. I love the thought that the design wall is a traveling art show! It looks like you are having good fun and making progress with the resident artist this week. :) And hooray for a napping pup at your feet. May she have more and more of those calm, cuddly moments.

  7. Puppy is definitely growing up -- glad she is learning how to go with you instead of getting left home alone.
