Design Wall Monday 9 - 14 - 2015 on Tuesday (Oops!)

I had a great and very busy weekend.  Sharon in particular got a lot of things done.  I got a lot of individual blocks done for the most part. 

The best news is yesterday I picked up my repaired computer and everything is much easier.  When I got home from the trip to the other side of town I started to read.  Next thing I knew it was 4:30 so didn't really go upstairs to the studio.  

Here are all the projects Sharon and I worked on this weekend. I was making blocks for her to take back to Faithful Circle Quilters for drawings. 

My red and white blocks for the quarterly drawing held yesterday, 9/15.  Boo!  I didn't win.  I probably should have done an easier block then the one on the right. 

Sharon's on left, mine on right for the September BOM drawing held the first week of October. 

The last quarterly challenge of the year is to use a specialty ruler.  I can't remember what the one on the left is but the right is Rapid Fire Hunter Star by Deb Tucker. Both of these are by Sharon.  Mine is a Dresden but I need to figure out the center circle and get it sewn down to a backing. Pictures will come later. 

Sharon ran this mystery table runner at the guild meeting on Saturday.  We thought it was really funny when we ended up with two patriotic table runners with the colors in the same positions and even having flags as our border fabrics considering we didn't talk to each other about it.  There was a good turn out and everyone got the center portion done. Some of us are a bit slower and didn't get the borders on until later.  Perfect short project for an afternoon's sewing.  

Sharon also made a small wall quilt using her Rapid Fire Hunter's Star ruler. WOW! 

We auditioned every black in my stash before we both thought this one was the very best!  We came up Sunday morning to make sure and then Sharon was able to get them on before she had to go home. 

 I didn't do so well on my goals this past week, but there is always this week!

NOTE:  So, my track pad and cursor are working but now Blogger is making it very difficult to work with my elements.  For some reason all of the bottom half of my post is now part of a caption on a picture.  Cutting and pasting is not making it any different so I give up for this post, maybe next one I can get it figured out.  Sorry folks.
