Design Wall Monday July 15, 2013

Between Funerals and Hallmark Movies, I've been working on a Banner for the FAIR. 

I knew I wanted to have something Quilty up to show where the Quilt Area was.

The WORD PLAY Book was in my head again.  The book was written by Tonya Ricucci.

[It's on sale right now at Amazon, if you want to click on the Word Play link.]

 Remember this quilt I made back in 2011??

I had some strip scraps from when we made the HOUSES at a Quilt Guild Sew-In. Some of the ladies just gave them to me. they were the right size to start playing. They were BROWN.  

So I started making Letters. 

 How many "A"s in WALLA WALLA????

 I love the wonkiness of the letters.  The  first letter of each word still needs to be made. I will make them bigger than the rest.  These letters are 2.5"- 3.5" tall. 

Adding the background to all the words will help put the letters in a more straight line.

 I found this cute coordinating fabric to go with the County Fair Panel at HancockFabrics.com.

I just couldn't resist.  Thanks M'liss Rae Hawley. 

There's only about a month and a half  left to get ready! Come on lets have some FAIR Fun!

Walla Walla Fair... See You There!

Design Wall Monday- August 29, 2011

I have three things on the Design Wall after last week's activities with Elizabeth.  The green in the middle is her 2nd design that will need a border and then get quilted for another dolly quilt.  The nine patches were from the leftover 3"squares in the tote she got to play in.  The Word Play Quilt is on the Bottom waiting to be quilted.  If I want to put it in the Walla Walla Valley Quilt show it will have to get registered by the 1st and finished and turned in by the 10th of September.  I have cut out the "commission quilt" and will sew it up this week so it is ready for quilting before Lynn and I go on our road trip to "TRENDS".  This is the week we have to mail our quilts to Portland to show at the Trends show.

 My Challenge #1 Quilt is done except for the tacking down of the binding, label and hanging sleeve.  I re-stitched the bottom row after the 4 days of un-sewing! YEA! Quilted with "Cristopher's Feather Panto 2".  I had to add a 6.5" strip to finish the quilting.
