Patiently Waiting


I have been fascinated with this new Australian magazine Vignette by  Leanne Beasley. I have been reading about it and seeing projects from it, like the mystery quilt she has going. I have ask around at various quilt shops and no one knew anything about it. Then I looked it up on internet as to where to order, for a while there I could only locate distributors out of the U.S. and that meant outrageous shipping fees. Then I came across the Vignette in Stitches Blog  and from there was the link to Leanne's blog where I found stores in the U.S. that carry the magazine. If you haven't seen or heard of it, it has been out for months now and issue four is being released. So being able to get the first 3 issue is part of the challenge. I did and now I am just waiting for them. I love to embroider and the mystery quilt is a combination of pieced blocks and embroidered blocks. When it comes I'll know more about fabric requirements, then I can start going through my stash. I plan on making it my winter embroidery project. Check out the blog  (I have a button on the side) and you to might think it is something you'll want to do also.


Till next time

    Hi Kat, I look forward to seeing the fabric that you choose. I have only just started mine and am enjoying it so much. To give you an idea of the fabric requirements so you can start playing with ideas you will need 35 FQ (Sweet Broderie Range in the Original) and then another 13 FQ's (Lecien Basics in original) plus 25" for (red spot) border and another 22" for binding. 29" of Hankey linen for Stitchery Border. Hope this helps somewhat whilst you wait for your books. Happy stitching

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
