Something New an Online BOM

I have found patterns that were published once a month online and I am trying the Crumb's thing but this is the first time for online BOM and I wasn't sure what this would be like.  So far it is easy. The block that has been chosen is a simple block and your color choices are what is going to make this interesting.
Here is my version of the block
This is a block that goes by the name Crockett Cabin Quilt - Marshall ( 1123a) in Barbara Brackman, Encyclopedia Of Pieced Quilt Patterns. If you change some squares to a different color or fabric it can be called by another name.
Now I'm using fabric from my stash, this is mainly why I'm doing this, it is to use up fabric from my stash. So I have a large piece (2yd.) for background and then I have 2 charm packs,  Acorn Hallow by Kathy Schmitz LLC for Moda.
I guess with it feeling like fall here in NE Oklahoma I
 just had to pick fabric colors to go with how I feel.
I love fall, it is my favorite time of year and to me it is just to short but I'm hoping since we are experiencing fall temps now maybe we'll have a longer than usual fall season.

Now if you wanting to use up your stash too or just try something new go to Jackie's blog and she'll get you going in the right direction.
But while you are here I hope you will take a minute and check out what goes on in my part of the world. Besides my passion for quilts, I love gardening and have fun farm life experiences. Hope you'll come back to check on my progress.

Till next time
Kat

    Hi Kathleen. Glad to see I'm not the only one signing up for all these new quilt-along projects. I've decided to go with scrap/stash too. I love your autumn colour choice.

    Oh, I like your background fabric... Lots of movement but not oo busy to be a background. I have been tempted by this BOM, but I just don't need another set of blocks sitting around waiting to be finished... I have more BOM flimsies than I can count on one hand, and probably that many more that aren't even flimsies yet. Can't wait to see your crumb project.

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        ...

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. 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,...
