Design Wall

Pape,DJ,&Trey
First things first!  Today is Pape's (DH) b-day. He has two! How lucky is that? My mom also had two. Today (11/29) is the date on his official birth certificate (My mom's date was 6/10) and tomorrow (11/30) is the date that his mom and family always celebrated as his b-day. (My mom's mom told her she was born on 6/18.) So Happy Birthday, Pape! 72 yrs young!
Design Wall:
On my design wall is the last step for the dresden quilt (DQ) - the borders. All I have left to do is sandwich and quilt them. Then sew them to the top and bind the result. So close and yet so far away for this turtle. Well, I don't know if it is b/c I am turtle slow or if it is b/c I have ADD and keep doing little projects like potato bags and pillowcases when I should be working on DQ.
must-do list...(3)complete dresden plates(due by December 5th Progress: ready for borders );(4)complete lotto blocks for KSG(due Dec 9th Progress 1 done)(5) complete Saints Stars(due December 15th Progress: 3/5 done);(6) complete DD#2's graduation quilt (due December 19th-25th Progress: 1/4 done) (8) organize scraps into useable pieces. (9) clean and rearrange studio - I can't find a thing.(1)complete QGA lotto blocks (2) complete embroidery on teacher shirts; (7)put binding and label on charity quilt 2. (links to each completed project)

  6. The Dresden plate quilt is great, the red and black are quite dramatic. (I had to enlarge the picture before I realized the floral print was on the bed and not the border for the quilt! LOL).
