What's up Monday

I have been trying to play catch up lately so this is what's up on my wall and on my cutting table.
I know I have a lot that I am posting about and I realize I will not get them all done today but I am going to work hard on these. 
Today is the start of a 3 - 4 day rainy spell we are predicted to have here and that will keep me out of the garden and in the sewing room.

 This is this months Stash Bee block exchange, I'm in Hive 1
It is a very pretty block and I will get this one done today


  This is next months BOM at Sager Creek I am so in love with William Morris style. All I plan to do is just prepare the blocks for appliqueing.


These are this months UFO Challenge
   #8
 And I'm only a 1/3 done and I am trying to have this done by the end of the month. I do not believe I will make it. I work on this while watching TV. Looks like I need to watch more TV.  :}


And then there is Takes 2, boy looks what month can to, I have 10 blocks to do. I'll be working on this all week


I am posting this at patchwork times by Judy. Go see what others are up to.

    Your Stash Bee block is coming along nicely! I haven't started mine. I should probably get on that!

    You are very ambitious...I'm not sure I could handle that many at one time...I wouldn't mind a few more stitchery projects as I like to do those whenever I watch a movie or TV.

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        ...

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 c...

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show.
