What's up Monday


What' Up on my design wall is a baby quilt using up some of my scraps.


As you can see it did not make a dent in my scrap pile and that is after making the mistake of making too many units in the beginning.


I have enough here on my table to make another one. So when I'm done I'll have two little girl quilts.



I was able to finish some on my Some Kind of Wonderful last night but have so much more to do on it. You can see more of this quilt and other projects from the book here. When I get more of mine done I need to post my progress there.

I have the first two rows of applique done and most of the filler blocks done but it's on Git-R-Done list for this month as a work on project. 
Will see what I can get done, seeing how I'm not moving very much at the moment. I think I can say I lost the battle of not getting the "Man of the Place" bug.  I have too much to do to be sick. Do you ever feel like that too? 
One of the best things about working at home and living in the country is that I do not have to worry about being around others and getting them sick too. I do worry about my parents thou, they have had this first and are recovering slowly. Dad is going better than Mom, Mom has had pneumonia twice in the past months and seeing how I now sick I can't go over there to help them for a while now.
It's rough.
Here is to better days ahead (at least healthier)
The sooner the better.

    I just love the Some Kind of Wonderful book. Need to get me one! And ugh - so sorry you're under the weather. I hope you feel better soon, and that your poor mother quits getting pneumonia. That's no fun at all.

    I think you did not make a dent in your scrap basket for a very simple reason. The little elves that multiply my scraps at night are visiting you too!! :)

      I think so too. I believe we need to set a trap of some kind and relocate them.
      But I keep trying, I look to at it like it's free fabric.

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.
