A Finish and Design Wall Monday

Do you remember these fabrics that I was using for some secret sewing?


I used them to test Tammy Silvers' (Tamarinis) Where My Heart Is pattern.

I finished the top and am very happy with the results. (Someone asked me about the center fabric, but I didn't have the information with me to check. It is Woodland Daisy, a Michael Miller Fabric. 


I had commitments that took me away from home (and my sewing machine), so I couldn't work on this for over a week. I was chomping at the bit because I already knew exactly how I was going to do the quilting and I really wanted to get this done. 

The quilting is very simple and although the pattern suggests that the binding be the dark green, I opted for the orange Dot Grunge. 




The pattern includes instructions for three size options:
Wall Hanging - 22" x 39" 
Large Wall Hanging - 44" x 46" 
Lap Quilt - 44" x 61". 

I made the small wall hanging, but I think I'm not going to use it as a wall hanging, but as a table runner instead. It's a great size, so it can be used as either one!   


As with all of Tammy's patterns, this is well-written and includes really good cutting instructions and awesome diagrams. This will be available in Tammy's shop very soon. I'll let you know when that happens. :-) 

Here's what's on the design wall today!


This is the beginning of my version of Bonnie Hunter's Idaho Square Dance. A couple of friends and I went to Bedford, PA to take a class with Bonnie last year (Aug., 2018) and we had a very productive time. Check out this video that Bonnie made of the workshop. :-)  

I have had all of my log cabin blocks completed for quite some time, but I got sidetracked and put away from Idaho Square Dance blocks. I needed to do something for a demo at Chestnut Ridge Sewing recently and decided these blocks would be perfect. 

I have most, if not all, of the units just about ready to complete the blocks so I decided to put this on the design wall and get busy. I do have other projects that need completed, but this will be my leader/ender project and that means that the blocks will completed in no time at all. 


Bonnie just announced the colors for her new mystery quilt and I really feel like I should make some headway on this quilt before I even consider starting that one.  :-)

What are you creating today?

"Love seeing the creativity and dedication behind each quilt—such beautiful work! Truly inspiring for anyone who believes everyone deserves a cozy, handmade treasure."Bawdy place,Historically, the term "bawdy place" has been used to refer to places where licentious or lewd behavior has occurred, such as brothels, bars, or other places connected to debauchery. These locations frequently served as hubs for risqué activities, colorful characters, and scandalous entertainment, all of which had a big impact on the social and cultural dynamics of the era. Even though they are frequently seen negatively, they also represent social norms and complicated human behaviors.
