Design Wall Monday- November 5, 2012

Two of the Baby quilts made with this panel are on the Long Arm. The backing for these two will be the same so it is easy to quilt them at the same time. 

The Christmas Celebrations class had the last session on Halloween. Many of the ladies got at least one of their wedges complete.  Here is mine.

  I have changed my focus fabric again. I got one of the wedges done and didn't like the solid piece of fabric in the area directly under the 1st row curved Flying geese from the center. 

Here are two of the fabric options I tried.  Jerry and Mary C both weighed in on the decision making process.  Then I had an idea to mimic the striped pieced from above the 1st row of Flying geese and came up with these fabric choices.  What do you think???  I may have to call and order more fabric from the GLITTER website I bought the fabrics from to make the placemats I wanted to make to match this table cover. :)

Design Wall Monday- October 21, 2012

Last week after Design Wall Monday this quilt was posted HERE.  It is just getting started.   Some Progress has been made. This is a Judy Niemeyer pattern called "Christmas Celebrations".

 It takes almost an hour to do one of the Curved Flying Geese sections.  The next class is on Halloween.
My Colors at Christmas are Silver and Blue. Blue is also my favorite color.  This will be fun to have done in time for Christmas, only 64 days left to go.

Check out the many Design Walls this Monday HERE.

October Happenings @ Thread and Bolts

This week is the Farmer's Wife and Mary C is showing off her filmsy.  You can see it in all it's glory HERE.  She finished her October Blocks and got the sashings, cornerstones and setting triangles on in time for class Tuesday.   There is just one more Month of classes. We hope to see more finishes in the next few months.

Here are Mary's October Blocks.

The Judy Niemeyer Class Project of  "Christmas Celebrations" has started and there are patterns still available in the shop.  The next class is October 31st. Jerrine Kirsch is the Certified Instructor for this class.
Here is Lynn's in progress.  She is using frosty blues and silver for her Tree skirt/table topper.

 A New Collection of fabrics from Kona Bay came in last week  "Butterfly Carnival". So pretty with the coordinating fabrics.

Just give Lynn a call and she will open the shop for you to come and see.
