Design Wall Monday

6 fat quarter bag in Halloween  fabric
Reversible 

Sammie with mesh bag












Finally Two Finishes: 
Sammie,GD, was all smiles when I gave her the bags for her b-day.  Mesh bag glows in the dark which she thought was way cool. She took them with her to Kinder to the Pow Wow and filled them both full. Filling a 6 FQ bag is hard to do so you know she had alot of stuff(teenage junk).
Phaff monster is GONE!
DD#1,Dorothy, came get the Phaff Grand Quilter set-up. She produced such great work on her home machine that she should do wonderful work on this mid-arm on a frame with stitch regulator. Now she is going to really grow as a quilter--watch out world she is coming.  AND I get all my quilts and my best friend's quilts quilted for free. Whoo-hoo!!! She was upset because she couldn't color shop in my fabrics while we dismantled the Phaff. (I purposely mixed all my fabrics together in the tubs and put ugly ones on top.LOL) She gave me grief about that!But left with several pieces of animal print and 4 pillow size panels of wolves & bears. I wonder what else she put in her truck that I didn't see besides my Fabric Trends magazine. She did give me a great idea to enhance the Saints Stars and Dresden Plate with piping.
Current Projects:
As for me, I am still plugging along on the Saints Stars and my Dresden Plates.  Soon soon soon I will have a finish. But not this week since we are traveling to SC to see my grandson graduate from  Marine Boot Camp. I will be sewing on the graduation quilt for my DD#2 who graduates from ULL in December. She has worked so  hard and sacrificed so much yet kept Sammie healthy and happy.  All my daughters make me proud of the women I have raised. 

Center Quilting 90% done!
Well, off to pack the motor home...Lator Gators.
