Design Wall Monday - 8/20/12

Our county fair ended on a good note Saturday with the second half of the tractor pull. I think overall the weather was good with the rain keeping the temps down...it just makes for a long week. Only 51 weeks until the next fair and only 6 more years until Mom says I am taking over as Superintendent of the Antiques Division. It's a long time away but it's not...

Yesterday was spent doing the chores I have ignored both inside and outside of the house. It was a good work day but I was whooped by 9:30 and didn't touch my machine so you guys get to see the next rose star that I am basting.


This project is just making me more and more gaga over stripes. The pile in the upper left are background sets and since there are so many you are safe in assuming I decided to make this bigger than the original project which only had 8 rose stars. How big I am not sure yet but I am enjoying it too much to quit yet as this is the 5th star so far.

I hope to have the last 2 camping posts this week or next.

Don't forget to check out both of the linky parties from last Friday: Feline Friday and our very first monthly Hexie Party. Both have prizes that I am still assembling. Parties are open until this Thursday at midnight but you can comment to win until the end of the month.  Good Luck!

Oh I'm so glad you're making it bigger! It really is such sweet fabric -- it deserves "bigger". LOL! :)
