Design Wall, QOV and A Knitty Finish

My design wall has a few more leaf blocks and a couple zigzag blocks made with the leader/ender process between sewing QOV blocks and making my little knitting bag.

Batik Maple Leaf blocks
Zig Zag Scrappy blocks


Some news on the Quilts of Valor Block Drive.    Last week  The Perky Piecers in Troy, MO had a sew day.   Thanks to Kevin and Marcia for the pictures of the group.


Hard at work making QOV blocks all day!!  

My friend, Kevin the Quilter called and said he had a surprise for me and this is what he brought.  


Isn't this is AMAZING!!??  There are enough blocks here for 4 whole quilt tops and more.
*edited to correct #of quilt tops.
 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!
You all outdid yourselves.  I can't wait to start assembling them into quilts for our veterans.  

I am still accepting QOV Blocks through the end of December if you want to send any.  There are still more prizes to be added to the drawing which will be the first week in January.

And among all this sewing and quilty things, I did manage to finally finish the other short sock with the Magic Loop.  Bring on the cold weather.:)


Linking up with Judy's Design Wall Monday.

  1. Wow! How nice to have all of those blocks ready to sew into tops. Your zigzag quilt is wonderful! I love that design, but have never made it. I need to put that on my list. Love your socks, too!

  4. Look how generous all these people are to make blocks for Quilts of Valor. And the quilts turn out so pretty for our soldiers. Thank you for taking this on. I do love your other two quilts, the maple leaf and zig-zag. I hope to do a maple leaf someday.

Thanks for taking time to stop by and visit. It makes my day to get mail - either online or in the old fashion mailbox! Some habits you never outgrow.
