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. :-)

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        ...

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 c...
