Design Wall Monday 1/30/2012

I actually made some progress this week. I finished my Orca Bay, Bonnie Hunters mystery...I am so glad it is done and I absolutely love it.

Working on the rows.

Center Done

Top Finished


I think I am going to send this one to a long armer...there are so many seams and it is so heavy and most importantly I want it done. Since I still haven't taken the time to learn how to use my mid-arm..I do have to fix that issue soon.
I also decided that I need to take this week and make it a clean up week.  My sewing room looks like a bomb hit it.  I am so tired of all the kit stuff and extra crap I have piled around. So this will be my week to organize and get ready for everything I want to do.




I received my schedule for Feb. from work and after this week I actually get quit a few days off. I work Mon - Thur so I figure I can spend every afternoon getting everything cleaned up and by the time my days off come  (which is a 3 day weekend yay) I will be ready to get some things done.

My first goal after clean up week is of course Dear Jane (agghh) and then I have some QOV to get done.  I have one ready to quilt and I have many ideas floating around in my head.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week and gets lots of projects done.

  1. Pat yourself on the back for a wonderfully finished top! I'd send it to the long armer too!

  3. Learning or improving your quilting skills is something you need to tend to. Put that finished QOV on the frame and begin. I currently am trying to have something on the frame all of the time and do at least a little quilting each week. I don't try to get a whole quilt done in a day but a week or two is fine. It really is fun once you get the hang of it and loosen your grip on the handles. ;-)

  4. 'chelle, I LOVE your Orca Bay! I didn't make one, and seeing your, I wish I had! Great job, great colors -- I can recommend a long-armer if you need one!
