Melinda Quilts etc
We weren’t able to go anywhere yesterday and looks like the same today, at least until this afternoon. Bill had a doctor appointment around noon and it has been cancelled. Both of my classes were cancelled because the store was closed.
I did sew a little and got the Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler BOM done. This is block C-9
Hope to get some sewing done today.

Lots of stuff on my design wall today. I pulled out another quilt that I started a couple of years ago in the Allatoona Guild and put part of it up on the design wall. The pattern is Bonnie Hunter’s Smokey Mountain Stars but I have confused myself and am not sure how big I intended it to be. I have one larger section almost put together and several rows here. Then there are lots and lots of small blocks that have to be laid out.
I also finished two more blocks for the BOM quilt. I guess I need to press them better.
These are blocks 30 and 31 of 50.
The new SBS block for the week is A2 and I had already made that one. Here it is.
With all this sewing, I made 10 more bowtie blocks.
These are numbers 301-310. Not sure how many I need but I guess it will be time to figure it out sometime soon.
For more design walls, go to Patchwork Times here.

Now that my Scrappy Trips is on the to be quilted pile (or perhaps it should be named mountain), I decided to start working on my Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler again. I made about 15 blocks in 2007 and it has been sitting since then waiting for it’s turn. I decided to do the BOW for the Yahoo Group and work on a couple more each week.
Last week was this one for the BOW.
The one assigned this week is this one that I had already made.
I also finished two others. This first one is made from scraps from my NYD quilt.
I am using Southern Belle, a wonderful white for the background of all the blocks and scraps of batiks for the rest. Most of the batiks come out of the scrap basket at the shop.
I am also getting organized to work on a Mystery Quilt at the Allatoona Guild which starts today as well as Bonnie Hunter’s Celtic Solstice.
Too many quilts – not enough time.
