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        ...

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
