Design Wall and Goals

Last night I played with Petey's blocks and I think this is the final layout.



The white diagonals look rather bare, but they will be filled in with leaves and rick rack vines.

Last weeks goals--I did make more Petey blocks.   I didn't sew Henrietta's binding down.  I worked a bit on the 4 patches.  Next week's goals will be--


  1. sew the binding down
  2. set Petey blocks into a top
  3. work on Secret Santa gift


Yes, its already time to be thinking of Christmas.   I love Secret Santa swaps.  I love the planning and picking a gift for someone else--especially another quilter!  How could I go wrong????!!!!

I loaded another quilt on the long arm (one of Henrietta's).   I like having a top ready to go for when I've got the time.

Harvest is moving along, hopefully we will be done by the end of the week.  I still plan to volunteer this week.  The weather was beautiful yesterday--70F--and although it is cooler today--its still very pleasant.  I know cooler weather is coming--but I'm soaking up all this I can. 

Harvest is moving along--we don't have that much left--if we don't have more flat tires or broken chains.   Those endless fix-it instances that occur during harvest.

your blks look great!! And I love your lists - I do lists, but don't always seem to get them done.... BUT - when I find a list, and I do.... it's nice to see what is done off of it, and then what still needs doing that I, uh, ahem, forgot????

Keep up the great work!! And thanks for the insperation!!!
