Happy Mother’s Day!
Well, I am ashamed to admit my binding project of the last two weeks hasn’t progressed to the finish line. Two sides are finished, and two yet to go. I have no excuses, but here are some feeble attempts at ones:
1) It’s spring and so many other distractions are happening.
2) Several friends have no car transportation right now, and hubby and/or I have been giving people rides to and fro.
3) I bought some plants and received a gift of a new gardening tool for my birthday. It is a very sharp Japanese hand hoe, and I now have three stitches in my right hand palm. So gardening has also stopped temporarily until my cut heals. Note to self: Be more careful!!! And wear gardening gloves!!
4) I’m scheduled for knee replacement surgery on June 3rd, and have several “pre-op” tasks on my schedule. The operation is something that I’m looking forward to because it is needed, but not looking forward to at the same time - ya know what I mean?
So, here I am on a Monday, with not much happening on my binding project. I will share what is now up on the design wall:
(The white thing in the foreground is my sewing machine cover). I rearranged my sewing room so the sewing machine faces the windows, so I can enjoy the view of the woods outside. It used to face the design wall, which was nice too. See the machine placement now, in the middle of the room:
The hourglass and hst quilt on the design wall needs top and side blocks of a border added. I am sewing them in “blocks” of 6X6 hourglass units, as you can see in the picture below:
Each hourglass finishes at two inches square, so the units finish at 12”X12” This is the part of a quilt where I want a fairy godmother to whisk her wand and make the project complete.
What is on your design wall? Thank you so much for joining our Design Wall Monday Linky Party. I so appreciate you, and I look forward to reading your blogs. And I especially love seeing your project pictures.
