Design Floor

Because my design walls are covered in UFO's (I know, I know ...LOL) I had to use "the design floor". I was so close to getting these blocks together and knew that with some concentrated effort it could be accomplished.
Then look who comes along to "help" - the Granddog Max. He was so happy to park himself right in the middle of the action. I felt like the Grinch making him get off the quilt - click here to hear what I sounded like.


I have been sewing the rows together on my new/old 1952 Featherweight, (recently named Charity) which is sewing beautifully. Ahhhh... precision sewing on a quiet machine with a perfect stitch. Heaven!

Your grand dog is so cute! He just likes to give his approval to your design, and be in on the action! Nice quilt too, by the way. Once again, Max steals the show!

my featherweight is about the same age as yours a 1953 - it is a quite machine isn't it - I'm glad I have mine working again. I have to use the design floor often too as the design wall is pretty full.

LOL, isn't that always the way? You're lucky it was just Max. When I try using the floor I get help from three cats and the dog. It's much easier to clear another wall. Charity and the quilt are gorgeous! I hope you have a GREAT day!

It looks like it might not have fit on a wall anyway. Love the Blue and Yellow combo! Gotta love UFO's on the design wall. better than in the totes. Shoo Shoo that granddog...

Smashing quilt and amazing how you can catch a cat or dog, by simply laying down a quilt like that lol

I love the blocks. I will have to try a featherweight someday.

I love the purr of an antique machine. They sound quite different from the more modern ones.
Also love the little log cabin you are making. So pretty!

Karen in Breezy Point said...

Just beautiful quilt--hard to crawl around on the floor though--at least for me it is! hugs, Julierose

That is too funny about how you sounded like the Grinch--a perfect clip. : )
This is turning out so happy--and sewing on the featherweight is a delight, isn't it?
