Tulsa Quilt Show

This weekend is the Tulsa Quilt Show and I helped my friend Pam at her booth. I have so much fun I can not really say it's work even thou you are on your feet for 7 hours, no time for lunch and have to be mentally alert (now that's work & sometime a challenge).
But usually at the end of the show you have time to see the quilts and check out the other vendors.
I have so much and so many projects to do that I try to find the unusual. and this time I did. The most beautiful crafted woodwork. I love wood and 
this man had items made from  commonly seen wood but also had pieces from rarely used and unusual wood. This is what I came home with.

Shaker style basket

  
Two shaker boxes and a seam ripper


When not being used the point is inside the handle


This is with cutter out, the handle is butter in my hand.


Had a large selection.



Wish list item

He also had other beautifully crafted bowls and plates.
If you are going to be at the Tulsa Show tomorrow check him out. His name is Paul Creech and his business is called Wood Art by Creech from Bartleville, OK.  If interested in his work and would like to know more you can contact him by email. pdcreech@cableone.net
(FYI, I usually don't do things like this but I was so impressed with his work. I am not receiving a thing for doing this)

Now time for a couple of quilts

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. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.
