Day 3 - Sewing Goddess

It's day 3 and I'm rearing to go. 
Right now I feel like the lady in this drawing that my Grandmother drew for my Uncle back in the 1930's
A Sewing Goddess

But in reality, I probably look  more like this

So no matter how I look or feel I'm ready.
I was thinking that I need to get caught up on my Stash Bee blocks. I have last month and this month to do so I think I'll do that first. Seeing how the temps outside are cold, 42 degrees. I will not be going out there for a little while. I have already taken care of the chickens and fed "the man of the place", so I'm good. But I will need to take a break later to go out and cover up my plants and bring some in because we are going to have a least a frost, possibly a freeze. That's later thou.
I'll be back later with pictures of what I was able to get done.
Till then

 I swear I must be the slowest quilter on the planet. I spent all afternoon in the sewing room and this is all I have to show for it. Now grant cha the couple hours I spent on the computer have nothing to do with it. You know I had to see how I was
 suppose to make my blocks and that lead to another thing and so on and so on. 
I did get last month block done for Danny and still need to do this month block. 
You know I need something to do tomorrow.


I was also able to make and attach portions of the filler blocks 

I have a lot to do on this quilt and it will be nowhere near finished by tomorrow but it felt good to get this much done
Well that is what I was able to accomplish. 
I did get out there to the garden and was able to cover the veggies that I hope to save for a few more weeks of growth. And the plants on the porch were all moved to the garage or covered. 
It was a good day. I hope you were able to have one also. 
See ya tomorrow.

    Lovely post, I think most of us would probably look like the second pic, but I do love the picture that your Grandmother drew.

    You got quite a bit done. I don't know about you but I always over estimate what I can accomplish is a day. LOL

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...

  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.
