Day 16

I did it again, missed a day on the 




I have done better than I thought I would, especially since my blog has been neglected last month. 

Well yesterday I tended to a few things around here and then I needed to finish next month BOM for the 30's club



After it was done drove over to Siloam Springs to drop these off at the quilt shop. We visited for a while and I was given a pattern for the next stash buster. Stash Busters meet ever other month at the shop and I had to miss the meeting because I'm at the Master Gardening class on that day so Pam gave me the pattern.
It is a free pattern by Windham Fabric called
"All Wrapped Up"

Cute pattern and I have a good stash of Christmas fabric and really would like to make this. Just not sure if I can make the time.
There are a few items I want to make as gifts and they will need to come first.

There is a gift I finished last night and that is a crochet scarf using one of the Bernat Pop







Turned out nice and feels nice too. This will make a nice gift.


Today I have another finish but it is not a gift for this Christmas, not enough time to get it quilted and bound.



But a finish all together. My Retro Air-Ship Propeller, one that I've been wanting to complete for a while now.
This quilt has ended up being 67 x 67
And the youngest daughter already claimed it before her other sisters had a chance to see it.

Here is a funny update, remember the seeds I started  and thought the seeds were old because they were not sprouting as they should



Seeing how I thought they were mung beans....
WRONG

I guess I do not know how to read the package because on the label is marked Green Peas.
Now that I look at the picture they sure do look like sprouted peas.
a DUH moment.
I threw them away thinking they were no good...they were...need to get some mung beans it seems.

  1. isn't it funny to see how fast some quilts get grabbed up and someone saying "it's mine" before you are even done with it.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
