DESIGN WALL MONDAY – 9/12/11


OK – now I can FINALLY show you the rest of  this one -

I made it as a surprise for "My Other Half” aka “Dad” aka “Grandpa” -

So I could only work on it when he was OUT OF THE HOUSE–

I couldn’t very well do it while he was HOME –

Who knows when he would stroll down the hall to see what I was doing –

No- he had to be GONE!!

OUT OF THE HOUSE - GONE!!

The sound of the garage door going up was my signal that he was back HOME –

and that gave me JUST enough time to stash “stuff” before he walked in the door –

One time, though - the sound startled me and I jumped –

Boy – I tell ya - you have NEVER seen me move that FAST!!  ;))

Anyway – it’s done now –

Kinda –

It was going to be a Christmas present –

But I gave it to him early –

Just the quilt top – (44 x 56) -

So that he could decide if he wants it larger –

If so - I can always add a border or two –

If I had “finished” it – It would have been too late to change it –

See!! – UFO’s ARE good for something!!

But – he likes it the way it is –

So – I just need to finish up the rest -

Which should be MUCH easier now ‘cuz I can work on it any time I want - 

and don’t have to HIDE what I’m doing!!

Besides - now I can show you guys, too!!


Talk to you later – gotta go – gotta sew –
