Monday Update



OK I said I would say what I was able to get done.

First on the list... I did get all the strips needed for my Some Kind of Wonderful quilt cut. Plus I was able to get the squares cut too.

 Second on the list...
I'm disappointed the I did not get more than 3 houses done. I forgot about our bible study, Sisters in Scripture was this evening and I had to get tonight's block done to show how to.



So here was tonight's block, Salome. I still have some paper to clean up and than do a satin stitch where the 2 different fabrics meet.

Then when it came to the third on the list, working out in the garden I guess I am not totally over the head cold cause I was pooped by this afternoon, so I had to have a nap.
It would have been better weather wise today than it is suppose to be tomorrow.We are in a wind advisory for tomorrow

I want to share a blog I came across just the other day. It is called  Sustainable Eats
For the next 12 months each month is devoted to some part of raising your own food starting in February with soil building, and then 
March: Home Dairy
April: Gardening
May: Foraging
June: Botanical
July: Seed Saving and Winter Gardening
August: Preserving
September: Bartering
October: Protein
November: Grains
December: Handcrafted holidays
January: Reflections and wrap ups


This challenge will be what you make of it – the ultimate in crazy or just dipping your toe in.  Add a little more urban farm to your life in 2012 by taking the challenge.
So maybe this is for you, go check it out. 
This is right up my alley, so I'm challenging myself to learn more.
My post I did on Feb 8 was part of the challenge and I didn't even know it at the time.
And I like what I've read so far.
Till next time 
Kat

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
