No-Sew Fleece Scarf


I had meant to post this a couple of days ago but as things happened I forgot my power cord to my laptop at 30's Club Tuesday so I had to go back to Sager Creek Quilt Shop yesterday and pick up my cord. And I just can't go that far without making it worth my gas to not go ahead and go to the store and pick up whatever I might need for next week. With that said I did not get back until late in the afternoon and I hate to say it but I was tired and just could not get myself to write. 
Here is the No-Sew Fleece Scarf I promised. I had made some quick pictures and they are not the best (that should change here in the near future but that's for later) and I gave the scarfs to my daughter when I was there.
It is very easy and there is no reason that this can not be a gift that a child could make.
You will need around a 1 1/3 yds of fleece.
And the pattern you can download the pattern here 

 You can make them a solid or out of one fabric.

 Or you can use more than one color.

 Copy and print the pattern. 

 Place the top (smaller end) on the fold of your fabric. And cut out.

 You will need to cut the slit that I marked on the pattern. I just folded the fabric so I could cut both sides at once, that also guarantees that the slits lines up. 

 Now it is time to assemble your scarf. You need to open up the piece you are going to insert into the opening in the a joining piece.

Like so, then pull it through the slit of the folded piece until you reach the middle of the piece you are pulling through. Fold it back on it's self and smooth out

It will look like this. You will continue to add "links" to your scarf until you reach desired length or run out of pieces.


Like this



I did experiment and added a blanket stitch around the links, but it is not necessary. Only if you want to. Now a heads up, do not do what I did the first time and that was cut slits in all the links. You need to leave the last one without one. I corrected my error with a decal to the school my daughter when to.
That's it
Makes very nice gifts.

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
