Design Wall Monday March 19, 2012

It's crazy time for those of us who work "tax season".  Add a wedding to that, and a 5000 gallon backyard pond that is coming to life, and I am BUSY! 

Here are my Just Takes 2 blocks--and I'm only 5 blocks behind.  Hopefully, tomorrow, my last day off for a while, I'll get several of those, foundation paper pieced, blocks done.

The other big news I received this week was from Pam Dransfeldt, of Califormia. She is the Joyful Quilter, an awesome longarmer I met on Facebook.  A few years ago she quilted my quilt, Joyful Journey, (the purple one center on the top row of my banner) and I pieced a second one of those for her.  Hers is called Joyful Journey Too and she was pleased to get a call from the Glendale, CA quilt show last week that our quilt won First Place in Two-Person quilts:
The blue ribbon matches so well!  Maybe now I can get her to enter Paducah--mine was accepted there in 2010.  It would be great if the twins both got to hang there.

And just one shot from the yard--our cherry tree looked so pretty last week:

Be sure to see what's happening at www.patchworktimes.com
Off to work--wish I could quilt!

  3. Your Just Takes 2 blocks look great. I dropped out of that one. The blocks were too frustratingly difficult for me.
