What's Up Monday


Its Monday again, boy time goes by way too quickly.

This week I have so much to get done around the place before I go to California to be with my daughter. She is having twins and had been in the hospital the past couple of weeks and thought she would have to stay until the boys were born but they let her go home this past weekend. Now I am needed more now to help because she is ordered to stay in bed.
So on my wall are projects I have to get done before I go.

 This was this months block for the 30's club at Sager Creek. It is a row of the new BOM quilt for the 30's club. The pattern is one of Pam's, owner of the shop.
Here is a link to the shop
Plus I have some blanket stitching to do on the bottom two block, left Morris Garden and right is Sisters in Scripture, the block is for the anointed woman and is a picture of a spilled bottle of perfume.



 Then it's not up on the wall but on my list, is to make the boys a swaddling blanket.


This was up all of last week and I hate to admit it but I did not get one stitch done to it.
Maybe I can take it with me or "not".
Like I'll have time when I get there.
Till next time

    Twins!!! How wonderful. I hope all goes well for your family :)

    The quilt is fabulous (but not as fabulous as twin boys)

    You are doing some excellent work. I really like the look of the blanket stitch. Takes some practice which I've been doing lately to perfect it. You'll find some down time for sewing while you help your daughter...exciting TWINS! They'll keep everyone busy for awhile. Sandi

    Love the idea of the swaddling blankets! So cute! Good luck to you and your family. With twins, I'm sure they will appreciate your help.
    I'm in Santa Rosa and my daughter is due June 10th with my 1st grandchild. I can't wait as I'm sure you are excited also. I pray that everything goes as planned for your daughter. Safe travels. Robin

    God bless you daughter and her laying in as we used to say. Last year I spent three weeks away from home helping my son and DIL with the birth of their third child, my first grand daughter. It was a happy and exhausting experience so get as much rest as you can!

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
