Oh My

At the Wichita Show I just fell in love with this one quilt made by Mary Ann Moore.
As she wrote in her description that she took her love for cross stitch with her love for quilting and put the two together and boy is it spectacular. 
I wish I could of took better pictures, I used my I-Phone and wished I had a nice camera. But I think you can get the idea of how stunning this quilt was. I wished I could of met Mary Ann and ask her the questions racing through my mind.  

This picture dose not show half of how pretty it was.


















Just in case you are interested in the pattern she used you can find the pattern she used at Amazon

Hope you like this one as much as I did.

    It would have been my favorite, too....I love all of the quilts in the cross stitch and being a cross stitcher, I know how much work went into it...look at that quilting, amazing.

    I remember those x-stitch patterns. What beautiful stitching and all those feathered plumes. Did she say how long she worked on the quilt?

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...
