Design Wall Mon & a Dragon!
Monday, November 9th, 2009Here’s my slightly changed design wall. I finished another First Sat block and put the 9-patches on point. I like them better
Below is the 3rd First Sat block (FSB). I haven’t finished the 2nd month because I missed the First Sat when I took the workshop with Judy Laquidara. No deadline, no block…..bad Cherie
I haven’t sewn the alternate block yet either but I will get them knocked out pretty quickly as I got the binding for the Cards vs Sox wedding quilt made and machine sewn down, yea!!!
I even gotten one side hand sewn, yea, yea!!!
My parents arrived from California for a visit with my brother & me and they brought this:
It’s a carousel dragon made by my grandfather. He was a pattern maker for engine aparts and made this carousel dragon in his retirement. He also made an elephant and two rocking horses….well not horses but a cow and a pig
That’s my dad next to his truck. He said they used a fork truck to get it into the truck. He did a wonderful job protecting it for the trip! I wasn’t home for the unloading but I heard it went smoothly and was much easier than the loading part was.
So here it is in our front room. Our front room has never been a living space for us and doesn’t have much furniture so it’s a perfect place for a carousel dragon, don’t you think?
Dragon tail
Dragon Back
Dragon head
And Dragon TEETH!!!
