The Zig Zag

 My sweet boy Derby will be 4 years

old in May ... not to mention

Ms. Julep will be 5 on April 25.

 Can you zig-zag?

I didn't think I could but I did.  

This is a new pattern I put together

for Chris's Outreach group. 

As with anything new it takes me time

to figure it out. Mr. Derby and

Ms. Julep didn't help except for running

on the pieces and  messing up my

entire first layout.  (Say nasty words here!)

 Not wanting a repeat of "lets mess

up the quilt layout" I purchased

a 'design wall' which is basically a 

sheet of heavy plastic with a sheet of

light felt on the other side.

This light felt keeps your fabric

layout in place but allows you the

flexibility to move the pieces around

until you have the layout just the way

you want it and NOT the

way the westies want it!

 Derby sits on every quilt I make!

 Inspecting the Fons & Porter

design wall purchased at 

JoAnn's for $24.00 - worth

every penny.

 Since I had the concept of the

zig-zag quilt fresh in my brain 

I decided to make another.

This will go to one of the many

westie rescue groups as a

donation to raise money.

My first zig-zag quilt top.

 Wilson took this picture of us at 

the Robert Morris Inn Sunday 

night. I do think this is a 

nice group shot.

Made for Westie Rescue Austin, TX.

WRA sent me 2-1/2 yards of the 

Texas wildflower fabric for the

backing of a quilt & a few American Girl

outfits.  I have until October  to

complete their donations.

Have A Great Day
