Day 4 - Occupy Your Sewing Room

Today it's time to make the sashing and the setting squares. We'll use the light fabric that has been cut in 1.5" strips and various 1.5" strips of the plaids. 


Sew 10 strip sets of light-dark-light combination.


 For the setting squares. you will need to sew 1 1/2 ( one and one half) strip sets  dark - light - dark.

 When strips are sewn, press the seams toward the dark. This way when it comes to the nine- patch the pieces will snuggle up to each other nicely.


Need to cut 38 segement in 9 1/2" length for sashing. From each strip set you will get 4- 9 1/2" segments plus some extra. This extra piece will be part of the nine-patch

Cut 15 - 1 .5" segments of light-dark-light and 30 1.5" segments of the dark-light-dark. Make 15 nine-patch setting square. 

TA-DA nine-patches

Tomorrow I will not be able to do much in the sewing room so I will not be able to work on this but I try to get  some time to putting it together so I can show what its suppose to look like.

This is what I'm working for.

Till next time
Kat

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        ...

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.

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,...
