Design Wall Monday

Well, sort of.  Same quilt on my design wall for probably the last month, so I won’t bore you with that picture.  Off the longarm and ready to deliver is a little baby quilt:

I used one of my newer pantographs called Cascade by Keryn Emmerson.  It reminds me of a Linda V. Taylor one that’s feathers but more densely quilted.  This one allows a little more loftiness.  I also used a puffier poly batting for this quilt.

Now on the Gammill (are you ready, Bert??) is my aunt’s Freeze Frame quilt (Judy Laquidara’s design).  As I mentioned before, this is Bert’s first quilt, and she did a wonderful job.  Her borders lie FLAT!!!  Great job!  She chose Popcorn by Jodi Beamish for the panto (one that I like a lot and use a lot), and she allowed me to choose the thread.  I chose a muted mustard color, and used Hobbs 80/20.  Here’s a peek:

I’ve also been working on a UFO, one you haven’t seen before called Afternoon Tea, started in 2003 *gasp*, and I have a due date of December 2nd to have it completely finished for our DayStitcher’s group PhD project (Projects half Done).  That is graduation day *double gasp*.  The pressure is on!  Photos on UFO Thursday.
