Hodge Podge Monday

That is how I feel this morning, I have a hodge podge of thoughts in my mine. For family and friends, they know I live with my to do list/clip board and if I do not have it I'm lost. I'm sitting here this morning trying to get my idea of what I need to do today and this coming week and all I have a cluttered mess in my head. I'm afraid my post is going to reflect that also.

First this is what's up on my wall and whats on my table



And these projects will also go on my to do list and I going to put it out there.

1. Finish putting the sampler together


 2. Start Morris Meadows by Michelle Hill
3. Finish cleaning out the pantry

4. Do some more quilting on my 30's quilt.


That's my short list
Now I have a question about the stash report, I started this year but really not sure about what can be counted as usage. Can we count UFO's we are working on?
If you can leave an answer in comments or email me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Till next time
Kat

    Oh...love Morris Meadows...don't have any yet, but hope to soon. Needle turn applique is not my thing, but I really like 'morris'....so have been collecting a variety of fabrics and patterns to do something with this idea at some point in time. I look forward to watching your progress!

    Wow!! Your sampler looks fabulous with all the blocks up there! And Morris Meadows is making me drool. :) I really love what I can see of your 30's quilt. Being a history chick, I've got to make one in the next couple of years. Finishing an early 1800s replica right now, have a late-1800s ready to get quilted and a medieval illumination-inspired UFO, with colonial reproduction fabrics waiting in the back wings. I also want reproduction quilts for the 30s and the WWII era. (Thanks for mentioning BOMs Away) :D

    Putting the sampler together would be on the top of my list. You are so close to being done.

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.

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
