On my design wall – 2013.03.06

Worldwide Quilting Day – Check out the button I added on the right, with a link to a website with lots of information about Worldwide Quilting Day – March 16, 2013.  I belong to an online group of quilters who sell on Etsy [and they are a terrific support group, too!] called the Quiltsy Team.  Many of our members will be creating our own interpretation of the Sawtooth Star block to celebrate Worldwide Quilting Day, then we will be promoting each others work.  Here’s mine – a mug rug/mini quilt with a scrappy, wonky star.  It still needs quilting and binding, then I’ll list it in my Etsy shop.

Rainy Day People 2 – the 12 x 12 inch version for the SAQA 2013 Auction – is almost done.  I stitched the buildings, people and umbrellas before sandwiching the quilt.  After sandwiching the quilt, I sewed ‘rain’ with a variegated black-white-gray thread.  I love how it looks!  I’ll get it bound and labeled this week, and mailed to SAQA. 

Next up is Rainy Day People 3 for the Fibre Art Network exhibit FibreScapes.  The entry deadline is March 15th, so I have to work fast on this one, but I’m planning to make it very similar to Rainy Day People 2, so most of the design decisions have already been made.

As always, I’m linking up with these blogs for WiP Wednesday.  Click on the buttons below to see all the people participating and check out their projects.
