Dad came over this week to help me hang some things on the walls in my studio… the main thing being another design wall…
Design Walls
I already had one design wall that I got dad to put up a while ago. It was one of two that a friend and I bought at a garage sale many years ago. I stored mine while I was overseas, and was very happy to put it up again when we got home.
It was grey, and not the right type of fabric to hang blocks on, so this week Dad and I took it off the wall and put white batting on it… and on the matching one that my friend gave me last week.
It was quite fiddly, but doing it with the two of us was much better than me trying to manage on my own. The result…
I was going to butt them up against each other, but the powerpoint was in the way 🙂 We could have taken it out, but I like having lots of powerpoints, so I said we’ll just put them on either side and that way I can still use both if I need to, or just use them individually.
I did use them both this week, but it’s a secret project that I can’t post about yet, so you’ll have to wait for that!
Quilt Blocks
I put up the blocks I’ve done so far for Lori Holt’s kitchen quilt sewalong, and I think they look so pretty up there, don’t you?
Squirrels
I was trying to stick to the list I made this week, but I came across some squirrels….
The first one was Chooky’s Churn Dash Sewalong… which of course I had to join in on.. .and then when I was watching Lori’s Granny Square Along video, she said she was also doing the Great Granny Squares.. so I thought I’d better join in on that too……
I already got some of her chunky yarn so that I could join in on the crochet part…
but now I will be cutting for the churn dash and great granny square along this weekend 🙂
I will try to put blinkers on so that I don’t see anymore squirrels… wish me luck!
Have a wonderful, stitchy weekend (are you joining in on any of the above?)
Oh, that design wall will be invaluable! The blocks look amazing together!
Love your design walls. At least they are solid. I have a large piece of old thermally (sp) that I had still from my days of sewing ski jackets etc. This I hang on a large wall with bull clips. Hubby put a 1 x 2 at the top of the wall with cup hooks for the bull clips. This also allows me to take it with me when needed. Your blocks look lovely! I know all about those squirrels!
Love your design wall. I really need one myself. 🙂 No spare space though. The blocks look lovely. Hugs,
Oh those dastardly squirrels – they’ll get you every time! Their cousins reside at my house too.
Wish I had room for a design wall but I end up having to use the floor.
Excellent design wall. Enjoy your churning weekend. I haven’t done any more since I shared them early in the week, so my plan is to make some this weekend too. Happy sewing.
You’ve certainly taken on some Squirrels now. I’m loving your kitchen paraphernalia & both the other projects sound interesting. I’ll keep my eye on what you get up to over the winter. May even sort of quiltalong with you in my own way as I’ve designed a churn dash quilt not long ago. I’ve also been sorting that box of 2″ scraps that used to come from Patchwork Products many moons ago, so they would be maybe something to use for the granny squares. Thanks for sharing, take care and hugs.
I have a light switch cut out in my design wall………..lol……….
good design walls make life so much easier………..the blocks look great on it and can’t wait to see what fabrics you choose for the Churn Dash SAL.
I love having plenty of design wall space… so useful. Happy weekend sewing…

Would live a design wall, but no available wall space, and yes, am joining the churn dash SAL.
I would like a better design wall, but mine works for now and will do until I decide what else I could do! Yours look great – and very useful 🙂 Would have loved to join in with Chooky’s Churndashes but I really am struggling to fit it all in at the moment!!!
