Let's be Occupiers

I had seen Occupy Your Sewing Room a few weeks ago and had meant to put her button up. Barbara at Cat Patches had thought this up and I figure since I've been trying to get caught up on some BOM's and Christmas presents I would join in. This way I can get two things done at the same time. So if you want to do the same, take a peek at what Barbara has plan. I will be taking time out during the week to show some of what I get done. I will also be showing the making of the Christmas String Quilt from start to finish starting tomorrow, so please check back.
I'll give you a peek of what I'm planning, but before I do I need to explain a thing or two.
I had purchased most of the fabric and received the pattern from Sager Creek Quilt Shop a couple of years ago and with my exceptional speed, I'm just now getting to it. But I did, a few months ago, cut my fabric into strips, so I do not have whole pieces to show you, just strips (lots of strips). If I had known I would be sharing the making of this quilt, I would waited on cutting. Please forgive me. I started with green and red plaids and a white with a red and green petite print.

 
Here's a head start of whats needed if you want to join me


Ok until tomorrow

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. 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.

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,...
