What's Up 2-11-13

                                       
I have been getting myself back in the groove after having my daughter and her family here last week. The "little dudes" have grown so much in 3 months. They are now crawling and eating solids.

BLAKE
I do not have a highchair so we feed them on the floor with a sheet under neath to catch all the run off. Can you guess who is the hearty eater.

I am counting the days until I can see them again.
So to pass the time I am focusing on things around here and working on my 
Get - R - Done list is one way.


 This is my Sisters in Scriptures 2 quilt.
Started 4 years ago and I worked on it a little last year but as you see did not get it finished.
This one is my favorite block, represents Elizabeth.
I have made Sisters in Scriptures I, and thought I had a picture of it. I'll need to get it out and take one to show.

Then I need to prepare the applique blocks for the other quilt on my list, 
30's row quilt.
  Need 4 of these


Just one of this one

 Some of the fabric choices.

I'm going to needle turn my pieces and I start by tracing my pieces on freezer paper. I will press my edges under using the freezer paper as my guide. Then I tack down my pieces lightly with glue. I find this the easiest way to have my blocks ready to applique, especially since I take them places and the pieces stay in place perfectly.
This is the project I'm taking with me to the McAllen Texas Quilt Show this coming week.
If you plan on going I hope you will come by and say Hi. 
I would love to meet you and chat.
Our booth is representing Deb Tucker's 180 Designs / Sager Creek from Siloam Springs Arkansas.
I'll be looking forward to it.

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        ...

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...

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.
