Things never go as planned



Before
Do you ever plan on doing something and only get to do a part of it, well that is how today went. I really tried to stay on task but somehow I find myself doing something else.
So I get off to a slow start because I write my post this morning and than I figure, oh I'll just check on some of the others I follow and before I know it I have been on the computer for over an hour.
OK, I can just get to sewing right after I eat something, hadn't had anything yet and it's close to 11:00 o'clock. I eat lunch. Now you see I have had this conditions since I was a child and that is after I eat lunch I get very sleeping and can find myself napping before I know it. Guess what, I did. Now it's 1:00 o'clock and I still have not sewn a stitch, so finally I am in there sewing. But I had to stop a couple of hours later because I had to run to the post office, pharmacy, feed store and then the grocery store. Get back home and realize I hadn't feed the livestock, off I go.
Get to sew a little more before I have to start dinner and then I get to sew for a little while longer afterwards.

This is what I was able to get done after all that.

It doesn't look like much but I was able to finish appliqueing with a blanket stitch on the last two sections in the lower right corner. Than I put all the blocks together. And finally I was able to cut and sew 2.5" squares of different reds to be the first border. I still have the last border that will be a dark blue 6" wide. I should/will get it done tomorrow.

Laura, if you look down at the bottom right under the quilt, do you see it. It's a sign I have that has OSU.
GO POKES!

    Any day in which you can get the borders on a project is a productive day, in my opinion. What a fun quilt.

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.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

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        ...
