Monday Musings -

-
Woke up early this a.m. - got dh off to work, and made the mistake of turning on the TV in my office to check out the weather. They had some special on about the stuff that lives in your pillows - talk about disgusting !!! Mold, mildew and dust mites - ewwww. Anyway, I ended up shopping online for those pillowcases theyadvertised (it was channel 3 or 6 news though, not an infomercial...) They said they had got theirs at 1/2 price and paid $5 each - you KNOW I could do better - and I did. I ordered mine for less than $1 each from Amazon. NOW - you can order up to 8 of them and pay $5 shipping, but if you order 9 of them - you pay $15 shipping - so if you need more than 8 - place 2 orders - it's cheaper -

Standard Size Pillow Protector

Got that done - did some shopping at Victoria Secret - love that store.

Dropped the truck off at the mechanic to get the tail lights fixed - so without wheels for a few days. Will probably miss my WW meeting this week as well - the girls are traveling to Phila again for a long weekend - so unless dh doesn't work on Saturday - no WW meeting for me !

Dinner tonight was leftovers - gotta plan on something for tomorrow - maybe pasta and clam sauce ???

Have a great week - Jerzy

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Design Floor Monday

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit
