Holiday Lane Hop

It's here, my day and I am so excited to share what I have done.
But before I do I would like to give thanks to
                                          who is our hop hostess and cheerleader.
                                                   And Madame Samm,
                                          who is our Cheer-leader-in-residence,
                                       She will be maintaining the Pinterest Page
                                                 of projects by participants. 
                                                 

                                          And a very special thanks to Jill Finley
                                                         for all she has done and
        for the use of her pattern, Holiday Lane,
          which is available for FREE here


I want to share that I did. I did  not make the pillow because this is going to be a gift for my daughter and when I asked if she wanted a pillow or wallhanging she asked for a wallhanging

So now it time to go to Henny Lane,


If you have been following my blog you know I have a thing for chickens so it should be no surprise that I found a way to include my little friends



Looks like Santa has them all up and excited 





As you can see I did a lot of appliqueing, in fact it's all appliqued. I did not follow the pattern and sew the houses to the background, I found it easier for me to do it my way. Plus I add a few more windows and a door. Plus I thought it would look nice to have a little snow on the ground.
Thank you and here is the list of others

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
