Slow Stitch Sunday plus some

I thought I would make this post one of a little of this and a little of that.
Well what should be first, I think I'll start with the stash report. Added 6 yards to go with the quilt I'm making for my daughter.
I did get a quilt bound this afternoon but I had  counted it already I believe so all I can show is a picture.
My total numbers are located on the side.




Besides doing the binding on this, for my slow stitching Sunday I am doing a little embroidery on the 30's row quilt.


Just a simple stem stitch will do the trick. I have 4 blocks to do.

Then there is March's NewFO.
I am starting a quilt for my daughter. She had emailed me a picture of a crib quilt but wanted it done as a queen size. The pattern was minimal and simplistic.
So on EQ I drafted it to be her size


The blocks will be rather large and the quilting will be done by hand in a big stitch quilting.
Here is the fabric she had picked out a few years back and the new background (under the folded pieces, bad pic) I just purchased



Here is was I did earlier, not much but its a start and really shouldn't take long to put together.

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
