Design Wall Monday and Guest

Life …
Uncle Edgar Strite from GA came for Edwin Knepp’s funeral and spent the night with us. I was so sorry that Aunt Evelyn didn’t come along.

… as a Quilter

See other Design Wall Mondays at Patchwork Times.

Dana got 3 more blocks sewn for her quilt and I did some machine stitching on my “lily” quilt.

I’m stitching close lines about 1/8” apart and I’m calling them “organic” because I can’t get them precise and even.

And then I got tired of stitching just straight lines, so after stitching a band 3” wide I changed my mind, stitch, and color of thread.

And now I’m going to set a goal  for "A Lovely Year of Finishes" to have all the quilting finished on this quilt by Oct. 30. I really hope to have it all finished, {as in done, finito, nothing more to add, ready to use/display/give away}.http://www.patchworktimes.com/2013/09/30/design-wall-monday-28/

  3. Your post made me smile because I just posted my goal for October and said I would finish an old UFO-"done done" meaning Finally quilted, bound and hung!

    I love the organic quilting.

    I am sure your will finish the quilting in time. 30 October is a day before my birthday. I will have a toast on your finish, your beautiful quilt!
