Design Wall Monday

Saturday's Guild Meeting was fantastic.  We had a small Quilt Show of (4) quilt tops.  In August, everyone brought in Orphan Blocks that would probably never be included in a finished quilt.  Our members worked on designing several quilts at the August Guild meeting and several took the designs home to complete.  Judging in October was based on Viewers Choice of our members.  All participants received a package of fat quarters.  The finished tops will be completed by our local Sewing Group and donated to local charities.

My cousin, Karen just happened to be traveling back through Tennessee on her way back home to California.  Since she was in town, she came to visit our Guild and had a wonderful time visiting and has plans to find a local guild to join where she lives.

Karen is just finishing up a 6 month adventure in her RV and has already logged 18,000 miles.  She's been
stopping along the way to see all the sites she has read about through the years.

Wanda from  Old South Fabrics just happened to be scheduled for a Trunk Show, so we were able to see
many new Moda Fabrics and designs.   Since her website has so many wonderful pictures of quilts and fabrics,  I will just let you take a look.

Here is what's on my design wall for this week.  With all my growing fabric stash, I decided I'd better make better use of my AccuQuilt Dies and cut some fabric for a Bear's Paw Quilt.  I'm making it a controlled scrappy quilt.  Stayed tuned until next week......

Until then, stop by Patchwork Times.com, to see what others are creating....
