Design Wall Monday 10-20-2014

I didn't get a whole lot of quilting done last week.  Yes, I finished the Carolina Christmas top which I showed here.  What I did do was figure out what I needed to do on Easy Street to move it along.  I have most of the units done.  I was able to do a little toward the last bit before I can start putting the bricks together.  Here's what all the bits look like: 

That polka dot part is a folder with all the directions in it. I'm hoping to get more of it worked on over the next few weeks.  But I've got a lot of quilts waiting to be put on Ruthie.  Hopefully I'll finish the sail boat quilt this week. 

Here's the sad tale of my goals.

Host Pillow Case day in the studio

Attend Ellie’s birthday party!

Driving home from staying with Ellie I saw great gas prices but didn't stop to fill the tank.  I was tickled to find the same prices at our local Sheetz.  Wow! Part of the benefit of living in Va is they have rather low gas tax so our prices are always better than DC and Maryland.  Can't speak about the rest of the nation. 

I'm linking up with Patchwork Times so go take a look at what's happening in studios this week. 

Happy Quilting All!
