My design wall is only a little different from Wednesday. I have two borders appliquéd with two to go. I did get one more string block completed and a sample rose log cabin block. Check out the other design walls at Judy’s blog.
Not on the wall is this quilt I am now calling Baskets and Lace:
I put in some time on Saturday stitching the batting together and then the backing. I had planned to start quilting on Sunday but DH surprised me with plans to return to Pensacola for brunch and time at the beach. We had a wonderful time. And we got to watch lots of other people having a great time, too: lots of laughing going on all around us. At the beach the water was clear, the sky was blue, the temp was mild with a cool breeze and there were even dolphins going by. Who could ask for more?

Sounds like you had a wonderful day! The beach is a terrific place to be. I love your design wall and the quilt on your machine!
Sounds like a perfect day!
I love your baskets and lace!!! How beautiful!
What a great day at the beach! Weather here is nuts....near 90 on Saturday and now today lucky if it reaches 65. HATE that kind of bouncing around temp!!!
Sounds like the perfect day, I love the beach. You are so close to adding those borders. I can't wait!
Applique borders are so pretty. Heck, the quilt (forgot name) on the long arm is even prettier. Thanks for sharing.
Dolphins? You are so lucky! Sounds like a relaxing day - those borders are gorgeous!
All 3 project look great!
Those spur of the moment trips are usually the best.
That is a delightful pincushion on your design wall.
can't wait to see baskets & lace finished. I would have gone to the beach too. sounds like a perfect day. We go to the beach in June, I'm drooling in anticipation.
Wonderful design wall (and off) creations! 8-)
Now walking on the beach sounds so much better than cleaning out the fridge.....but oh it does it look beautiful....wanna come do mine since you do such great work????
Love the tisket a tasket top....are you working on Snowbound too?
Happy sewing, enjoy making those string blocks I just finished making a baby quilt with them :0)
I agree, the free motion quilting really sets off those blocks. I'm sorry to hear about your tension problems. you seem to take it in stride!
Good Luck with those house projects and thanks for sharing your progress. I've found that I tend to get a little more done when I know I'm going to blog about it, you may get more done than you think.
