A Kick in The Hiney


That is just what I need when it comes to sewing. I have done very little and not often. I know of a couple of quotes that can sum it up;  
Life happens and  A day late and a dollar short.
So when I read about Kelsey's challenge she has put out there to anyone who's interested. It is what she calls the 100 Day Hustle

I am so in the need to have to have something to reinforce my goals I have.
With now 97 days left, I will put it all out there for you with my list of projects I would like to have done by the end of the year. Some of this will be off my UFO Challenge list and then a few new ones I would like to have done for Christmas.  

  1. The binding on Sunflower Quilt
  2. The binding on Ruby Red Dots Quilt
  3. Finish the William Morris Quilt
  4. Quilt Christmas Round Robin
  5. Stockings for the boys 
             Now the new projects

  1. Bibs for the boys
  2. quilts for the boys
  3. 4 clotget h books for the boy  (starting to see a pattern)
  4. Kitchen sets
  5. Blog Hop projects
  6. Knit sweaters for boys
Now if I can a good part of these done I will be doing the happy chicken dance.


Till next time

  3. Good luck! I always feel like the binding is the worst part of the quilt -- it takes the longest. =)

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

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
