What's on my design wall this week probably looks really familiar to a lot of you. I tweaked it a couple more times over the past 2 days. I'm still not satisfied though. It feels more like mountains than waterfalls now.
More interesting than what is
on my design wall, is what is
under it. That table is the beginning of my machine quilting frame. I'm so excited! Space is tight, and I don't look forward to making room next time someone wants to come stay with me. But I'm already loving this table. With my sewing table in front of it, I have a nice deep table to catch the quilt I'm currently working on. Wow! What a difference. Maybe I don't need the whole frame after all, and I should just go with the extended table.
Nah. Who am I kidding? I can't wait to try out the new frame, but I have to wait for my rollers to arrive first.
If you look on the left of the sewing machine, you can see just a corner of the queen size quilt I'm working on. I'd name it, and show a photo, but it's a gift (and maybe even a surprise) so no peeking just yet. Quilting on that project is coming along however, and I hope to have it in the mail before too long.
Last but not least, and not really on my design wall but I want to add it anyway, is my newest pair of socks. I'm hoping the light green/yellow will prevent my son from stealing this pair. If that fails, the next pair is definitely pink! :)
I'm experimenting this time - knitting 2 socks together on 4 needles. So far so good. But I know that decreasing is going to be challenging.

Well, it's only taken me a month to get back to your blog - my bad - but wow have you ever been busy. Nice socks!
ReplyDeleteThe bargello is shaping up nicely. Only advice I can give is stand back or look at your pictures and see which tone "pops". For me it was the lightest shades, like the top of the mountain. If you made the lighter shades the top of the left side and the darker shades the bottom of the right and figure it out in between, that might help the waterfall effect. Because the sides seem very similar, it looks like mountains in the middle. Just my 2 cents ;)
