My new design wall!

The pattern is Elizabeth Hartman's Sparkle Punch Quilt.

My wonderful husband made this design wall for me out of cotton batting and soundboard. He mounted it to the wall very carefully using grommets. He even machined the punch tool himself! It makes him happy to make me happy. I am a lucky woman.

All trig and no play makes Tree a dull girl.

After my 5-hour Saturday Trigonometry class, we spent the weekend putting together my 94" x 91" design board, rearranging all the shelving and some furniture in the house, and doing a ton of chores that have been neglected too long. I really should be working on trigonometry homework now, but I'm screwing around on the internet for a few moments instead.

I have new paper-pieced stars to post and other pretty pictures to share, but instead I think I'll do a few equations and call it a day.  I'll leave you with a few of my recent Flickr faves.  I get so much inspiration from all these wonderfully creative folks whom I will likely never meet.  Thank you, Internet.
