My Take on Take 2


I finished the first 6 blocks for Take 2 free bi-monthly BOM given by Gay at Sentimental Stitches and Brenda at Dear Jane. Gay does her patterns on the 1st and Brenda will do hers on the 15th. 


This is the first set given and they went together like a piece of cake. There are 6 blocks of various sizes. 
And yes they are Blue and White.
So far so good, I am keeping up and a little ahead of schedule, my goal is to not get behind. 


Update on the "girls" they gave me 6 eggs today. If you have chickens too, do you keep records of your egg production. I haven't or even thought about because I keep chickens for pleasure not profit so I had never consider doing so. But after reading The Hen Blog the other day Terry, she  was talking about keeping records and this cool old form she had. She is making it available to us on her blog. Here is the link to download a copy of your own. So now I'm keeping track.


I am going to have plenty of eggs for my next egg recipe.

Till next time

  1. Your blocks are beautiful...I have only finished 2 so far, glad to hear the rest are easy to put together. Are you doing the embroidery too? Nothing like cooking with fresh eggs. :)

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        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. 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. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. 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,...
