What's up

It's been almost 3 weeks since I first shown what was on my design wall. Well right now, there are 2 projects up. The purple Sugar Twist is slowly coming along





It will have a sashing around each twist, which has not been added yet. It's going to be bed size instead of throw size.  That is what the pattern is for.  Been so busy making the blocks that I haven't given any thoughts to how many blocks are needed.. So far there are 35 blocks. When  working on it, it is really a simple and quick block to put together. Have enjoyed working on it.





The other project up is a round robin that I am very lucky to be participating in. There are 5 of us. The other four (who will not reveal right now) are some very creative and extremely talented women. I feel like "grasshopper" in Kung Fu. Learning from the masters.The one I'm working on right now needs to gets mailed out by Friday and then we have one more swap and a border to put on before we reveal them to their owner. So in a couple of months I 'll show how they all turned out. I'm only going to give a partial glimpse because I'm afraid the owner might see this.
Did some more work to this top,  but again will not show it right now.


Then I have some fabric that I need to make a quilt for my middle daughter. We picked these fabrics out over a year ago when I was there visiting her in San Diego. Very pretty colors. Love the sage green. Just
not sure about the pattern she describe to me. There is not much contrast and I know I'm giving it too much thought. If anyone has an idea, I'm all ears.

    but mom we don't want a lot of contrast ... i know that's not "true" quilting style, but that's how we like it. =)
    LOVE YOU!

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        ...

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
