Blue and White Quilt

I was not blogging when the Blogger's Quilt Festival was last spring so I'm entering one of my quilts for the first time in the Blogger Quilt Festival Fall 2011. This is exciting to enter a quilt and not have to take or ship it and have to put a label and sleeve on either. This could be habit forming.
Since I was not on top of things, I do not have pictures of this quilt being made.
The pattern is a Winding Way, which intrigued me. All those curves was a learning experience.
I love two color quilts and especially blue and white. I'm a quilt maker more than I am a collector but I do have a few antique blue and whites and I'm always looking for more. But I do love making my own.

My good friend Pam and shop owner of Sager Creek quilted it for me and did what I love, just a traditional pattern. I love the look, perfect.

















I hope you like my quilt enough that maybe you'll try making one of your own. The curves were not that bad and especially when the pieces were cut on  an accurate cutter (?) It goes together so much easier.

    Winding ways is one of my all time favourite patterns to look at with longing. I'm just too chicken to take on the curves. Yours is one of the most lovely I've ever seen. Well done!

    Really impressive quilt. I don't really do curved piecing, but I probably should, it's so worth it for a quilt like this!

    So pretty! I love that pattern and it's beautiful in blue and white. It's one that's on my list to make eventually, but those curves have me a little scared. I think it might have just moved up the list a bit...thanks for the inspiration!

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
