Design Wall Monday (week 29)




On my wall now are my Tisket Tasket Blocks.  They need so be blanket-stitched and then I have to hand embroider them.  I thought if I put them on the wall it would give me the incentive I need to get going on them.  I'm thinking if I do 2 every week. (I'll probably do more), but if not that's ok.  I have been meaning to set up my newer Pfaff 4.0 and do my regular sewing on it and set up my older Pfaff 2046 for the blanket stitch.  I hate to say it but even though the 4.0 is a fancy slick machine. I'm much more comfortable on the 2046.  The 4.0 doesn't have a presser foot lever-it's automatic and I can't blanket stitch as well on it because of it (I think, anyway).   So both machines are set up and I'm getting used to the 4.0 again. 
I have been keeping up on my block-a-days, but no pictures.  I've been having computer issues which I think (crossing fingers, legs and eyes) are fixed thanks to the Geek Squad at Best Buy! whew!
And in my previous posts I showed my Cone Flower Tall & Skinny wall quilt. A few wanted to know where the pattern is from.  It's a Pat Sloan design from her book  Vintage Blooms.  Mine looks a little different because I saw a picture of it in a magazine article and just made it by looking at the picture.

Coneflower Tall & Skinny


As I said yesterday, I would take a picture of this wall hanging for today.
So first is the before "re-quilting" you may be able to see the sad lines of the quilting I took out:
(you'll have to click on 'em to see, I should really fired my camera-person)


And here is the 'after re-quilting":




And here is a close up.  (this picture has the true-est colors..I am so camera bad it's not even funny).



It's back hanging in the kitchen, making me smile. 
The "Tall Skinny's" are Pat Sloan patterns.
