Day 4 Where did the time go.

Love this picture




It's hard to believe it's the last day and I feel like I haven't made a dent. I figure you could lock me in my sewing room for a year and I probably still wouldn't have it all done.  I think I need to make this my motto

What do you think.

Being that it is Sunday I'll get my sewing done in spurts. 
I'm going to get in a early start, now 8:30 and see what I can done before church, then afterwards I'll get back and give an update. Until then let the fun begin.



Alright it's 1:30 and I'm ready to get back to sewing. This morning I was able to get this months Stash Bee blocks. I hope I was able to get them bright enough for her. They were very easy to put together, and 12.5 " block

Now I am going to make the small churn dash blocks to go on the side of one of the applique block of Scandinavian Christmas I finished a while back







We'll see how much I can get done before I need to go help "the man of the place" load up a few calves that we are going to take to the stockyard this afternoon. I hope and think that these are the last of the calves we need to take until next year.
Till then I'm off .

So it's almost 9 and I have been done for awhile. We had to take a few calves to the stockyard and today they had boys helping on horse back.
Can hardly see the boy helping on left.
I took this picture while sitting in the  truck.

Now for what I did get finish after the last update.
Completed the churn dash blocks

I have small square to still cross stitch to add the the others.

I also prepared 2 more blocks to be appliqued

After these 2, I have only 4 more to go and I can put the top together. It has been a productive time for me and it felt so good being able to sit and sew these past few days. I hope to keep it up and if not at least partake in November's Quiltaton. 

This is me now.

Thanks for following my progress

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        ...

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing.

OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
