In The Zone.....

I am on the home stretch....


All four corners of the quilt will be flanked by 3 NYB quadrants....
Then the borders will have the large spikes...

oh - how I would love a design wall rather than a design floor!

I am loving this black/white dot I picked up last week....Habitat....there is just something about it I am really liking...


I thought I would share with you the plates we hung on the wall in our family room...they are all {but one} from Anthropologie....the bottom middle one is an old small oval platter....from my husband's family....


Have a great Monday!

    A feast for the eyes! The NYB is certainly going to be beautiful! I really like the aqua dot, but that is one of my favourite colours, of course. Such pretty plates too!

    Ooooooh! Love that NYB Mary but I want to see it all now! Just too impatient for words. Finish it, finish it please :D

    Also love that bee on a plate - I think I'm right in saying that Napoleon Bonaparte used the bee as his symbol! Wonder if the plate harks back to that?

    Wow Mary! Those NYBs are beautiful. And I love the plates- and Anthropologie too. Ahhh, they would get all my money if I would spend any of it on clothes instead of fabric. :)

    You have a gorgeous NYB! Beautiful work!!! And I love your plate wall. I'm about to do the same in my home with Spode Christmas plates I've been collecting each year. I just have to measure and count them so I can get the hangers.

    You don’t need an expensive design wall. You can just use a large piece of cotton batting and some tacks. It works great and you can pull it down when you need the wall to look pretty again.
