Git-R-Dones

I had a good month and was able to complete each one of my goals for January. 
Here is what I was able to do



1. The boys quilts (yes two) I was to get them finished, quilted and binding on. They are ready for the "little dudes




2. Easy Street, I still haven't decided if I want a border on it. So as for now I'm calling it done, if I decide it needs a border I'll show a picture. I believe I'll get this one machine quilted. So busy and so many seams I will not even attempt quilting it myself.

3. My Pea Ridge Lily quilt is started like I wanted. There is a glitch thou, the background I was thinking about is out of stock/print so I do need to decide on a new background. But I have the flowers, stems and leaves fabric  picked and and in the cutting stage.



4. Dresden Plate top is finish. I started this over a year and half ago and I'm so pleased with how it looks. This one is now on my list of tops to be hand quilted.

It felt good to be able to cross them off my list. So now it's time to decide February's 4.

1. Sisters in Scriptures - finish putting the top together

 2. Christmas String - I have it now as throw size but I want to make it larger

 3. 30's Row Quilt - I need to applique a couple of the rows and then sew the rows together, my goal is to have a least one row appliqued.

 4. Some Kind of Wonderful - a lot to do still so all I'll say is  I will do as much as I can. If I get it finished I be so pleased and if not completed it will just go on next months goal. 

That's it.
I'm ready

    Love the color choices in your Easy Street quilt! If you do a border - I'd go with the blue. :-)

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1. I figure we need to refrain ourselves and keep it down to a couple episodes a night. Today I put a binding on another quilt from the pile. ...

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        ...
