Design Wall Monday


It's Luigi!
I joined
a free quilt along. See button on side bar. Mario is next in this Super Mario Bros quilt. I love it. I made it without any foundation fabric or stabilizer. It turned out pretty good. My son will be thrilled.

I have just finished one week of staycation, see previous posts to check out what we did around the good state of Michigan and my home.

I am hosting a Binding Marathon that is taking place during the Olympics. I have four quilts ready with binding attached. I am long arming one right now and will have it ready for a total of 5. I will hand stitch the binding during the games and hope to get all five done! Want to join up? There will be linky parties and give aways!

A binding marathon sounds great. I wish I had my quilts back from the quilter to join that party....sigh!

A fun quilt block! Your staycation photos were so pretty...I wondered where you were...I surely didn't guess Michigan.

Very cute quilt - a binding marathon sounds like a good idea. I think it is the part of quilting I like the least.

An olympic binding marathon is a fabulous idea. I'm in for that! Even though I enjoy binding I don't always get it done before I am off on the next project.

Love your Mario! Very cute.

I'd love to join your bidning marathon, but I don't have anything that far along. Enjoy and I hope you make it to gold by finishing up all 5!

A marathon binding party sounds like fun! I will keep a lookout. I have a BIG stack waiting for handwork. My son is 11 and he loved your Mario block.
