Design Wall 4\/28\/2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have to clear off the design wall so I can create the samples and step outs for the quilt class. Taking a good look at the design wall made me realize that it is kind of being used as another dumping ground and more spring cleaning<\/a> is required. So, before I clear it off, here is a tour.<\/p>\n

Upper left<\/span>: four patches. I cut scraps up into 2″ squares and sew them together into four patches. I use these patches as ‘Leaders and Enders’ a la Bonnie Hunter<\/a>.\u00a0 This means that I sew together squares rather than just using scraps to start off my chain piecing. I do this so that I can accomplish something as I am starting and ending chain piecing.<\/p>\n

Middle top<\/span>: FOTY 2011 patches. More about these later.<\/p>\n

Upper right<\/span>: Sampler quilt patterns\/red and aqua quilt. I may do something else with red and aqua, but the sampler is a good project for these fabrics since I can’t think of anything else.<\/p>\n

Very upper right<\/span>: Nine patch made by the Young Man when he was a Cub Scout. I want to do something significant with it, but haven’t decided what yet.<\/p>\n

Lower left<\/span>: more four patches in progress.<\/p>\n

Middle middle<\/span>: FOTY 2010 test piece. I would like to use it to test the border treatment I want to use for the Original Bullseye quilt<\/a>. I think this test project will end up higher on the to do list sooner than I thought, because I need that space on the design wall.<\/p>\n

Middle middle towards right<\/span>: rectangles for another quilt like the purple quilt<\/a>. Right now these bricks are being used as leaders and enders.<\/p>\n

Next to this series of bricks is a Big T block that will be the front of a Teacher Pillow for the Science Teacher. I don’t like the name of that blocks. I don’t have a better name, but I think Big T is uninspired.<\/p>\n

Bottom right<\/span>: hexagon test piece.<\/p>\n

Border<\/span>: all around the border are things that I enjoy looking at. I have won 2 ribbons (right) in the far and distant past, but I like to look at them to remind myself that I am able to win ribbons.<\/p>\n

\"ATCs<\/a>
ATCs 4\/29\/2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I find that a good way to display ATCs is using those badge holders I get from conferences. It also prevents the badge holders from being thrown out. I like them for ATC display, because I can clip them together.The ATCs are small and this display makes more of an impact.<\/p>\n

It is a little quilt art gallery that I can change easily. I can change both the configuration of the badge holders as well as the ATCs displayed very easily.<\/p>\n
