What's (not) Up

I had taken my part of the Quiltathon and meant to give an update each day but somehow the days got away from me. I was able to do a few things and would love to share what I did. Then I will continue with what I plan on doing this upcoming week. Yes I know,
Thanksgiving is this week but unfortunately the family are all far away and will not be here for the holiday. 
Well on to some happy thoughts, I did get the binding on the Sunflower quilt and now need to hand stitch it down and when I get it done I'll post a finish picture and I did work on Ben's stocking each night. Remember I was going to show a before and after picture. 
Here it is.

 After



These little quilts are for the grandsons of course and they fit in with what I did this past weekend and what I'll be working on this week


I'm still getting use to making two of everything. 
I did not get my stash bee block done so I need to work on that this week also but did not put that on the list.

So now on to the "to do list"
I fell short again on getting everything on my list done from last week. I just am puzzled, I just do not know what happens to my week. I think part of it is I did not take into consideration things like obligations, appointment and hunting season. 
Last week



I was able to plant bulbs and shown those, mow some and wash windows. 
But the rest will just be added to this week's, plus some.

(typo error in 1.) This week's
I would like to come back next Monday and say "TA DA"
Job well done.

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        ...

It's for the Birds

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. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. 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,...
