Good Morning Quilters!

Since all the hourglass blocks are completed for “In the Round”, the design wall was the next step.  I put it on the design wall last night:

It is going together so fast, and is just what I need at this time.  God is good.

Thursday we flew to Lubbock, Texas to attend our Granddaughter Sophie’s graduation from Texas Tech, and we just arrived home last night.  Here’s a picture of our happy graduate:

It was great seeing family and celebrating Sophie’s hard work.  What happy pictures do you have to show us this Monday?  Please link up with our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below and let us celebrate with you.  Thank you to all who participate.

Good Morning Quilters!

I’ve been working on the hourglass blocks for the “In The Round” quilt that I purchased recently at a quilt retreat.  It has been a great project for this busy time, as making hourglasses involves simple sewing along a penciled line - which is just what I need right now.

There are only two sets of hourglasses to finish and the others are all completed.  It will be fun to put this quilt up on the design wall, and see the color gradations appear.  Next week, I hope to be at that stage.  

Here is a picture of the stacks of hourglass blocks (two stack are half square triangles)

Good Morning Quilters!

Here is the view out my bedroom windows as I got up yesterday morning.  A blanket of snow on every branch and twig.  Glorious!!

I got my quilting mojo back while at retreat recently, and also did something that astounded me.  I bought a quilt kit from the sale table!  I have been resolutely working on finishing UFOs for the past year, but for some unexplained reason, I bought and have started a new project.  It is an entire quilt made up of hourglass blocks, and is different than my usual style of quilts.  I sometimes can’t explain my actions, but there it is…….I have started a new quilt.

Here is the pattern picture:

The quilt is named “In the Round” and is by Laura Berlinger.  Here are the first three sets of blocks, out of fourteen different sets:

I quite like the simplicity and calmness of this project.  Quite different than the Jane Stickle quilt triangles I’ve been working on.  But whatever the reason for my diversion to something new to me, I am enjoying quilting again.

What are you working on this week?  With this being the start of the busiest month of the year, and the recent snowstorms (8 inches here) quilting will be hard to fit into our busy lives.  But we will find some time……. I know we will.
