Design Wall Monday 3-12-12

Is it Monday already? Check out Patchwork Times to see what fabulous projects folks are working on.

Craftsy.com block of the month club - finished the March blocks so I'm still up-to-date with the program. It's been enjoyable and I've learned a few things. Here are my 6 blocks, so far.

I'm making a quilt for a friend's son - the whole family are fans of the local university's sports program so it was easy to decide how to do this quilt. I bought the fabric from a company that deals with selling fabrics and other items with team logos - there would have been so much waste had I cut the fabric, so I decided to leave it whole and just add borders. The child is a toddler, so I seriously doubt he'll care.

My new sewing machine, the Baby Lock Symphony, is the cat's meow. Oh! My! Gosh! It has been a dream to use and so easy. I made the purple/gold quilt top and matching pillowcase on it, as well as 4 wine bottle totes, and a sofa pillow for my sister. I plan to enjoy using this machine for many years.

Even though all I want to do is sew and play with my new sewing machine, I'm afraid I will have to devote several evenings this week to tackling some much-needed yard work. Oh well, guess we can't sew all the time.
