What's Up Monday 1/23/2012

I have a lot up today, I have whats up on my design wall, my stash report for last week and then my 
To Do List.  
So wasting no time I'll get right to it
Here is whats up and it's two projects;
1: the purple sugar twist

2: Sisters in Scriptures, This the second quilt designed by Rev. Connie Taylor. The quilt goes along with a bible study of 12 women in the bible.
top left to right; Deborah, Mary mother of Jesus, Huldah
middle; Ruth and Naomi, Elizabeth, Candace
bottom; Ten Bridesmaids
 I have 7 of the 12 done and seeing how I am the one who is giving instructions on how to do each block I need to get the one (Veronica) done for tonight study
Elizabeth

Mary, mother of Jesus


My stash report for the Week 3 is 0 used and 0 added. So my total is the same. I put my stats on my left sidebar.

Well I was able to do 3 out of the 4 that I had down for last week. The one I did not get done was organize the pantry. So first on the list is,

  1. Organize the pantry
  2. I am going to finish the Morris Meadow blocks (2) by Michelle Hill 
  3. Get my blocks for 30's Dresden prepare to applique.  

      
      4. Order seeds for the veggie patch
      5. Plant broccoli and cauliflower .


So that's my short list for this week. I also have a list I make everyday of numerous things I need to get done but those are mainly phone calls, errands to run, cleaning, menu and odds and ends. I am lost if I do not do this. 
I will at the end of the day show what I was able to get done.
Till then
Kat

    I like the twist style block. It has a dimensional look.

    Well I love the twist quilt because purple is my favorite color, but I am intrigued by your women of the Bible quilt. My youngest daughter is named Veronica and my middle daughter is Esther. Will Esther be making an appearance in this quilt? I am sad to say that my oldest daughter is named Beatrix after Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing and Beatrice from the Divine Comedy. I am excited to see the next 5 blocks!

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
