Bus Trip Shop Hop

Well I tried to send a post from my phone and it did not work so now I'm home, rested for a day and I'm rearing to go. It was a lot of fun and wonderful to see so many quilt shops I have never been to. I was what they called the bus "mom" and there was 33 of us on our bus. I was able to get pictures of most of the 11 shops we went to.
Friday was our first day, and we left Sager Creek Quilt Shop in Siloam Spring, Arkansas at 6:45am and had 4 shops to go to from Tulsa Oklahoma up to Witcha Kansas
Our first stop was the Quilt Sampler in Tulsa. I was not awake enough to be thinking because I had forgotten I wanted to take photos of all the shop to show, so I have none of this shop.
Then we drove on to Guthrie, Oklahoma to Sooner Quilts. They had a very large flannel, 30's and western sections.





I apologize for the pictures, sometimes the fluorescent lightening interfered and then sometimes it just wasn't big enough to get a good shot. Knowing we were all coming (500 total) they would have a lot of merchandise out, making it at times kinda tight.

Next shop was Completely Quilts in Ponca City, Oklahoma. This was a very nice shop with a very large selection of embroidery thread for your machine.



This shop was hard to get photos, a tad small and very full. Amazing how much they had.

Then our last stop for the day was at Hen Feathers in Wichita Kansas. They had a little of everything, especially a very neat collection of chickens.




I wanted this Chicken so bad.




Well that was just a very small taste of those 3 shops and  have 8 more to go. I will post day 2 later.


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          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

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
