What's Up 1-28-13




 I had this on my Get it Done list for this month and it is the last one I need to finish.
All I need to do to finish this top is put the last border on.


Have every piece cut and ready to be sewn together.


Now I'm putting it up on the wall to see where it is I think the best choice of the color wedges might go.




I'll let you know how these corners go together.


I'm getting excited over the fact that I will have 3  quilt tops off my list  after I get this one done.
I've been thinking about what I want on next month's list, it not far to the 1st, Friday.
I hope to also if time allows and that is to sew on the binding to the boys quilts. I picked them up last week and they are trimmed and ready to sew..

    Wow! That is one sharp looking quilt. I love the black and white in the midst of all the pretty colors. Actually, I really love the black and white, because I have a few yards of that same fabric! Hm-m-m. Maybe I should start a dresden plate quilt. ;-)

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. 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,...
