Design Wall Monday January 20, 2014

The design wall is empty this morning but the work table is full.  There are several projects spread across the table.

That stack of orange fabric and the white there by the calculator (that stopped working) are going to be my Orange Cream or maybe I'll call it 50/50.  I was trying to decide what size I wanted and how much fabric to cut.

The back left corner has Valentine fabric and the pattern ready to go.

The black and red are flannel for a giving quilt I am cutting.

The pile by the white fabric is are t-shirts for a customer order for a bed runner.

There you have it hopefully there will be some order to this by next Monday.

In other news:  We went again this year to the old tractor show in Yuma AZ.  These were my favorite tractors.

You might remember some from last year.  These are the new ones. Check out the steam roller.  There was a raffle for a green John Deere one of these and even though I bought lots of tickets it didn't get to come home with me. But we did find a little blue beauty that did come home.  I'll have photos later this week.

Then driving home we head west and had a most beautiful sunset coming through the mountains.

Progress Feels Good

Wednesday was a good day for making progress.  Starting with a trip to the Apple store to pick up a wireless keyboard for Mr. Bill and lunch at our favorite El Indio.  I found a computer class I want to take but it doesn't start until mid-October.  In the afternoon I started some chili in the crock pot.  Mr. Bill had a meeting so that meant sewing time for me.

Then it was time to move on to the sewing room.  The weather was a little cooler today and with three fans going I was able to get some sewing done.  I finished the Counting Bears top.  I got the back done (ironed) and the batting cut and it's all ready to go with me on Monday to be quilted.  I so excited to do some of my own quilting.



I also got the binding machined sewn on the disappearing nine patch, I'll start doing the hand sewing this morning while I wait for Mr. Bill at the dentist.  I trimmed up my Sweet Treat quilt just back from the quilt and got the binding made.  I would have sewn it on the quilt but I was distracted by this beautiful sunset.



 

Then I came down stairs to have some dinner at 8pm.  A little bit of chili and left over chips from El Indio was yummy good.  I know I should eat earlier but that just cuts in to my sewing time.

Yesterday I also realized that the comments had been turned off.  In July the spammers had found my blog.  I know, my little ole blog.  I have less than 100 post. I'm leaning as I go.  I don't even know how to count visitors or add buttons and the spammers found me?  Well comments are back on I hope.  Now if I could figure out what wordpress password I need to comment on blogger blogs I'd be a happy camper. :)

I do like days when I feel productive.
