My Design Wall today has me going in many different directions. I've made a couple more of these DEPRESSION Blocks. These are the Lotto Blocks for Guild. I've decided to make a few into the Pillows to go with my Benches outside rather than the Covers for the cushions. I'm waiting for the Pillow forms to come. I ordered them from Hancockfabrics.com and got FREE Shipping.
I'm ready for this BUSY Week of Guild and Lots of Children and Grandchildren Company!
I get to play with this cute pile of fabrics this week, too. I can't show what I'm doing with it though...
NEXT WEEK is the big Reveal- OK?
On Saturday I spent time at the Ft Walla Walla Days with my Lacey Lacers Guild. This was my first time to join them out there. The reason I joined was to learn how to Knit better and to make BOBBIN LACE.
Here is my Bobbin Lace Pillow and Bobbins ready fro my first Lesson this week. I bought the Bobbins and the book, a while ago but never got my Pillow made. Actually, I just needed to buy the Insulfoam and cut it with my serrated knife. The pillow is sitting on a big piece of fabric that I will use to wrap it all up in a bundle to transport it to and from my class. Marilee suggested I make a round pillow and showed me how to wind the pearl cotton onto the Bobbins. I have a lot to learn here. I KNOW, I didn't need another Hobby...
Mostly what has been going under my needle is these Graduation gifts for the SENIORS of 2013.
Congratulations to all of them! Best of Luck in their future endeavors- Summer Jobs, College, or Missions.
My DD #1 Picked up this IKEA goose necked LED Light for me and met me at Costco to give it to me. I've wanted one since I saw Bonnie Hunter's on her QuiltCAM. I'll be taking it with me on RETREAT.
I hope this week before Father's Day that I can find time to play and not just WORK to get ready for all the FUN to Come. Meanwhile it's time to go check out more DWM posts
