What came home with me

One thing fun about working the quilt shows is coming home with some new fabric. Except I did not get fabric at the show but on the way at a couple of shops we stopped at.
A few fat quarters.
You know that means my stash report changed this past week, I added but did not use any.


Found some ombre fabric in these wonderful colors. They will work wonderful in appliqueing.

    


I have this panel already and I was looking for some coordinating fabric so I could sew it up and give it to the "little dudes"

  

Then another cloth book. They love their cloth books I have made for them.



A book on modern mixed quilts.
I'm thinking my daughter Laura might like one of the designs. 



All I can say is I love Bareroots designs. 


These are so cool, I have plan to make them for the boys. I have a lot of thought going through my mind on what fabric color, patterns and how to do their names.



This pattern I saw a couple of years ago all done up and fell in love with the look. This will be a NewFO.



Now this was just too cool. I am always looking for the unique sewing items and I think this qualifies. It is the stalk of a Century Plant, cut and varnished.
So interesting for a pin cushion.


I had purchased this pattern last year.


And then I came across these button accessories for this pattern.


So that's my quilt show booty

  1. I am in love with that little chick fat quarter! What line of fabric is it if you know?

  2. That Century Plant stalk certainly is an interesting looking piece. I want very much to touch it and get a sense of the texture. Since I applique lots of flowers, I love see great possibilities for those beautiful solids.

  3. mom - i love the growth chart with the polka dot fabric shown in the picture. does it come in the spring green color we have in the nursery? plus, how do you get the "i'm this big" hanger? that's awesome!

    and i love the little "sweet seat" pattern, but i want to approve the fabric choice first. ;)

    love you!

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          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
