Design Wall Monday and Finished Hands 2 Help Quilts

Encouraging Words of the Day:

Always be full of joy in the Lord, I say it again-rejoice! ~ Philippians 4:4, NLT


Here's what has been on my design wall for the longest time. I still have several joining hexagons to make. The center picture was paper-pieced by my sister Ida at "my sister made me do it..." It's an excellent replica of our little ranch house in the Texas Hill Country. Hexagons surrounding it are a likeness to the area around our little house but I still have a long way to go.

You can see what others have on their design wall here.

I haven't been working much on that lately but I did finish two charity quilts for "Hands 2 Help." One is an I-Spy Quilt

and the other is the Argyle Quilt which I made for a Quilt-Along.

That is all.

I really like what you are doing with the hexies and the house n the middle.

The H2H quilts are going to be such a nice addition. They will be well loved.

Did you find your pattern?
