What's Up Monday

Since I'm not home and do not have access to my design wall, my things I'm working on are not up the wall but in my lap/bag. So today I went to a quilt shop near here to see and get an idea of what is popular here. I don't know about you but I have found that when visiting shops in different parts of the country, what is being offered as classes and projects changes. 
One thing that I have not seen or did not notice around home is this bag.


This bag requires no sewing on the machine, just little hand sewing for tacking. What a perfect project to work while here at the hospital.


The pattern suggest using a Bali Pop or Jelly Roll. Did not see one that I like so I decided to buy some fabric and cut it into 2 1/2" strips. Now I have to update my Stash Report (needs it badly). I must of been subconsciously thinking about the what my daughter likes in colors for the babies because see  the new pair of socks I made. 


Gee, they are the same colors.
Like these so much better than the last pair.

Last pair.

I have also been working on my Little Birdie quilt blocks and the Dresden Plate


I now take my computer to the hospital so I able to write this post while here,which means I need to find or think of things to write about. Going to go through the pictures on my iPhone, heck I have over 500. I have pictures from past show and tells and quilts show along with ones from the farm. Plenty of material to pick from.
Till next time

    Which quilt shop did you visit and what difference did you notice? Since you're visiting/waiting in my area I'm curious. I think you're right different regions have different tastes. It must be getting close to babies time, hope the delivery is quick and safe for all.

    Anxious to see your sew-less bag. Like the colors you selected, nothing wrong with a second project...entirely different I might add..using the same. The second pair of socks are really cute. Sandi

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
