Lots of bits and pieces of different projects - again!Two of this month's string blocks completed. Two to go.
Parts of different Christmas gifts - won't go into too much detail here so I won't reveal what they will be:)
The star block is called "Swamp Angel" from Diana McClun and Laura Nownes, "Quilts! Quilts! Quilts!". It's the beginning of a pillow I am making for a niece's baptism. The block will finish at 12 inches - I will need to add 2" borders for it to fit my pillow form.
There are other projects that I'm working on this week, mostly baking for my daughter's figure skating Festive Bake Sale on Saturday. Did you see the links in my sidebar for the 2 Christmas Cookie hops?! Great timing:)
Check out the other design walls this week linked up at Judy's blog.
With Joy,

ALways a busy design wall at your house! How many more days until your layer cake block???!?
ReplyDeleteLots of happy things on your wall! I like weeks like that! :)
ReplyDeleteThat book is one of my favorites and I haven't looked in it in a while. Thanks for the prompt.
ReplyDeleteQuilts! Quilts! Quilts! is a GREAT book, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI have a dozen things going at once too. Keeps it interesting :)
ReplyDeleteNever a dull moment on your Design Wall! Hope your cookie baking is fully appreciated :)
ReplyDeleteWith Christmas it's surprizing how many DWM there were this morning. Good thing we only have to keep the surprises for another month.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm using stash (which that's what I'm normally doing) I'll make 10 1/2 string blocks mixed in with other colors from the quilts top. Most times I've got enough pieces of what was used in the quilt to bring them together and use up the whole piece of fabric! Look forward to your Christmas Gifts Reveal. Should be a great Quilt Show. Happy Thanksgiving. Sandi
ReplyDeleteSilly me I failed to mention that the 10 1/2 string blocks go with other 10 1/2 block when making the backs.
