What’s on my Design Floor, Monday, March 12, 2012
Posted By drsao on March 12, 2012
The first thing on my design floor is the fabric that I pulled for my 2012 Color Challenge – organized by Vicki Welsh. The picture this month is of a glass sculpture at the Victoria and Albert Museum. I like these colors and will work on my March Alzheimer’s Art Initiative Quilt using these fabrics.

I am also continuing to make these cute little hexagons for my Scrappy Grandmother’s Flower Garden Quilt.

I guess I am on a hand work ROLL because I have also been doing lots of hand quilting. I keep hoping that I will get better with practice. I am now using the little finger gels (from OFFICE MAX) that go on the tips of your fingers when you are sorting papers. This helps me grip the needle and also keeps me from sticking myself so much. I also have a LEATHER THIMBLE that covers most of one finger……so now I have coverings on all except my PINKIE and it is cutting down on the injuries….LOL.
Hand quilting - slowly but surely....
Go to Judy Laquidara’s blog to see what is on the Design Wall of other quilters around the country. I love the quilt that Judy is making using the color challenge fabrics for March, 2012!

The fabrics you’ve chosen for the color challenge are great. Can’t wait to see what you’ll be doing with them!
I got a laugh out of your descriptio of all your covered parts for hand quilting!!
Those are great fabrics for the color challenge!!
Your fabrics are beautiful. I finished my challenge mug rug this weekend so am looking forward to April.
Great selection of fabric and try to enjoy your hand quilting – remember to breathe… Judy C
Heya this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from
someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
