First of all, the Sooners lost to Texas Tech! We were outplayed, our quarterback suffered a concussion, and our hopes for a BCS championship this year are doomed. Texas Tech did this to us a couple of years ago, and history has repeated itself. I am still in a state of shock. The fact that I am a fourth generation Texan has nothing to do with this of course. I just like Oklahoma Sooner football. One of my daughters and her husband graduated from Oklahoma State University, but I don't follow them, and next week OU plays OSU, which is always a tossup. It is called Bedlam, and for good reason. But that is for next week.

Meanwhile, for those of you who always need design walls, below is one answer I have found to be useful. I went to Home Depot and got a sheet of insulation. I ask them to cut it into 2 x 6 ft pieces. Then I covered them with batting, taped down with duct tape, and use these for portable design walls. I chose this size because they are easily stored behind doors. The blocks on this one are part of a sampler I am doing to use up some of my stash.

These are some ornaments made on a Bernina embrodiery machine that I won as a door prize at a quilt guild meeting Thursday night. Aren't they cute?

This is the cover of a very interesting applique book. I think it is very neat . I may even have to do some of the appliqued fruits and vegetables shown inside.

Here is a picture inside this book that shows two different colorways of veggies.

Very colorful.
Another book I ordered. I love the way these houses are put together. I would like to do one of these too.

Anyone have any favorite quilting book titles they want to share? I love buying quilting books almost as much as buying quilting fabric. lol.
