Design Wall Monday- May 21, 2012

Last week was Farmer's Wife class at Thread and Bolts.  I went and cut out more of my blocks- I'm cutting out July Blocks now.  Pictured here are my May Blocks.  My total FW Blocks right now is 67.  Seeing the FW quilts at the Quilt show that didn't have all the blocks wants me to get my FW quilt done.  Many of the Facebook FW group are adding sashing and cornerstones as they go.  The SBS and other Elm Creek Quilters group on Yahoo are starting a Monthly Challenge for FW Blocks now.  I'm way ahead so won't be joining in on that Challenge.  The Top Right Corner Block ( Rainbow Flowers) gave me problems.  It wasn't all my fault though.  It is a block similar to Log Cabin, everyone know how much I don't like making those blocks, and I cut it out using the wrong Log Cabin ruler.  

 The Sylvia's Bridal Sampler Block of the week was the J-1 Sawtooth Star so I cut that one out, with help from Lynn, so I could sew it up and submit it to Lynda for the monthly drawing for a PIN from Jennifer.  I know I already have one but it's getting me to work on the SBS blocks, so it's a good thing.  This one makes 65 total made for my 30's SBS.   Funny thing I realized is I have NO 'G' row blocks made.

 This past week I've been trying to get used to being back home after a week away... Plus Blog hopping to see the many linked up over at the Blogger's Spring Quilt Festival.  Click HERE to see the Thumbnails. There are 485 linked up already.
Nominations start on Tuesday, May 22 and go until the 25th.  My quilt could be in the Baby or Applique categories, if anyone wants to nominate it... It is # 312.


This week I have pillowcases to make and deliver to these two cute grandkids who had Birthdays on Friday and Sunday.  I hope the Pillowcases bring them all "sweet dreams".  I will have to dream up something new to make for Christmas and next years Birthdays.  Christmas is only 219 days away.
The deadline for ALLIANCE "Home is Where the Quilt is" contest is June 1st.  On my calendar I have Monday the 21st as a deadline to mail my entry in.  Will it get done this week- who knows...
