Things are a little scary here. I was just gearing up to work on this new little project for the blog when the terrible news of ANOTHER mass shooting in Colorado hit. This one really hit close to home. My daughter was at a different movie theater with her friends at the same time. I remember waking up at 3:15am and realizing she wasn’t there. Thank God for cell phones because she answered right away when I called her and told me she was on her way home. None of us knew the news of the shooting yet. Needless to say, we are all grief stricken here in Colorado.
So, today’s Design Wall Monday is more of a little preview and progress report. Here is the beginning of a project with that yummy fabric from last week. I am in the process of machine quilting it.
Here is what’s going to get added. These little dimensional flowers are fun to make and I have tutorials on how to do that. Also, that is a custom fabric covered button that I will show you how to do…no kit or anything.
Finally, I have a little tutorial planned on how I am quilting that gorgeous large scale floral in the border.
I sure hope I can get to it all this week but right now the top of the pile is some freelance work.
Head on over to Judy's blog and see what everyone else is up to.
Very, very pretty. love the flowers.

This is gorgeous. :) But then, everything you do is. Very, very glad your daughter answered quickly for you and that she was safe that night. I will admit to realizing I was thinking a rueful "yeah, the hospital could cut these pants" as I was changing to go to Batman yesterday.

Just gorgeous! I look forward to seeing how you quilt it. Prayers for the victims and families.

Erin, I know the feeling, I am so happy your daughter is safe. My grandson was at school when reports came out that there was a shooting at his school. Talk about frightening. I did not realize I could get to his school so fast. The little girl that was shot is now okay though.
