I’m working at Rainbows and Calico Things quilt shop tomorrow through Saturday! Come see me and find lots of fun fabric and kits to buy!
Here’s an example of a kit, ready for you!
This fabric is the inspiration for a purple trip around the world I’m making.
Hope to see you there!

I’m sewing 2″ charms! My portable design wall is perfect to lay out the charms right next to my machine and sew together. I followed Mary’s sewing and pressing instructions and it went together great! The trick will be for me to repeat it.
My swap partners are sending me charms! It’s so fun to receive them in the mail, even if they arrive looking like this!
Not to fear, they were all in there! So, one block down and many more to go! Thanks to Mary at The Curious Quilter for organizing the swap. It has changed my behavior, I was checking the trash at our last retreat looking for salvageable scraps!

Check out the great fabric giveaway here!
Seven of us are off to a quilting retreat this weekend! Because I’m suffering from Quilting ADHD, I can’t stay focused and every quilting idea I see online, I want to make!!!
My list of projects (unless I change my mind!)
1. Pineapple trash to treasure quilt – see picture here.
2. Purple trip around the world – see picture here.
3. Love’s woven rectangles – a totally new project that started out as a kit, purchased last fall during our bus trip. After musing over the included pattern, I decided to make my own design using EQ7. I made one fabric change, which of course, required a purchase! Not sure how to import the EQ7 pattern into this post but here’s a picture of the fabric all cut and ready to sew!
4. Hand sewing – binding on my finished trip around the world – here’s a before picture.
5. Anything else I decide to throw in at the last minute!
We are going to A Place to Sew in DeSoto, Wisconsin! I’ll be posting pictures from the banks of the mighty Mississippi to my facebook page!! You can “like” my page at facebook.com/LRDesignsquilting
Have a great weekend! I know I will!!

Well, I’ve done it again! I’ve started on another project instead of finishing them! My camera makes purple look blue, trust me, it’s very purple. This is version one, 17 x 17 (4″ finished units), plus two borders will finish 81″ square. I’ve decided to make it smaller, 13 x 15, which will finish 65″ x 73″. Here’s the layout for that version, which is now on the floor! The trick will be to pick it up in an organized way so I can take it to my quilt retreat this weekend!
(message to sister: I hope you like it!)
And I’m mailing charms today!!! So excited to get some in return!
Big thanks to Mary at The Curious Quilter for organizing the swap. Time to get sewing postage stamp charm blocks!
