Some embroidery WIP

I haven't yet shown any of the WIP's I'm working on. I have not been diagnosed but I think I have adult A.D.D. I just can't stick to one thing and finish it before starting another. I either get bored or see something new and just have to start it.
So here are two that I am working on
I have had this pattern for a while now and just could not wait any longer. Now I'm doing mine in blue
thread on a very pale blue fabric. For these two project I'm using Sulky 12wt. The blue is variegated.
I like Bird Brain Designs. I'm doing this one and have completed another one. Except I am not doing them again in Red. Maybe you can tell I am not that fond of the color red. This one is done in sulky thread also, 
color is charcoal. The one completed I used a variety of different colors. And I used DMC embroidery floss.
Pam at Sager Creek liked it so much that she is offering as a kit if anyone wants to do it also. But it can be done the way designer intended also, Red work.

Not sure if you could tell by the photos but I  just love these products for getting the pattern onto the fabric. So easy, just run it through the copy machine and stick it to your fabric. When done stitching it washes away in cool water.
One is  just as good as the other.

I use both of them. Sulky is slightly larger than Transfer Eze. Once you try them you will never go back to your old way of transferring the pattern.
So there, I admitted to having more WIP's., woo wee that feels good to get it out there..


Till next time

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        ...

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 c...
