Judy Laquidara always has such fun ideas, and I find it’s impossible to resist particating! Click on her name above for her post with her latest light-bulb moment. She is suggesting those interested post a picture of what’s on their design wall on Mondays (with a link on her site), then the following week we can see what kind of progress we’re making on our projects.
I don’t have a design wall, so I’m substituting a dining-room table. Works better than the other way around — you can’t eat off a design wall! I tend to line up what I’m working on on the DR table. Works for me, but I really would love a design wall (hint, hint). I guess the DR table is appropriate, because this is what’s on my plate this week:
* The upper left-hand corner shows a bit of the Asian blocks I’m doing with our guild; I have May’s block to make by mid-June, and am otherwise caught up. Just above those blocks is a peek at the block I did for someone else’s block, due in June. I only have about 6″ of ribbon to add.
* Upper right-hand corner is our family reunion autograph quilt; needs to be done by June 27th; I’ll probably be binding it in the car on the way there!
* Lower right-hand corner is a Minnesota Quilters challenge quilt, as much of it as I can show right now. It will be quilted and bound by next Monday. Below that is one sock that is longing for a mate. Maybe in July. 2010.
* Lower left-hand corner, next customer quilt for the LA.
Now for the Goldfinch. I’ve had so much fun (I know, you’d never have guessed) with our hummingbird feeder, yesterday we put up a finch feeder. Today we had our first guest…
I know, he looks headless with his head in the feeder.
Isn’t he beautiful? He forgot to wipe the chaff off his mouth.
What lovely tail feathers. I’ve been wanting to make a black and white quilt with a pop of another color. Maybe this is a sign — it should be black and white with yellow!

I think that’s a great idea- yellow, black and white! We saw a goldfinch for the first time a few weeks ago at our feeder- but we have it packed away now along with most of the rest of the house so the birds are looking elsewhere for their food. Hopefully we’ll have some at our new place.
I love all the things on your table! I sent my 9 to granddaughter a link to your blog to look at your bee photos……..she loves it. All the pictures of birds, bees and quilts! And she is having a blast with the puzzles. Maybe your next black and white quilt should have yellow and lime green!
Hi Sue! You sure have a lot on your “design wall” to do. I try not to put it all in one place like that…then I really know how far behind I am! LOL But then you do get a lot of things done. Me…I tend to leave them on the “design wall” for a long long time…hehe
