What's Up


What I have been up to this morning is waiting for this guy to show up so needless to say I haven't done much as far as sewing goes.

Up on the wall is my RSC13 for this month, a green baby / child quilt.


I started on it Saturday at our guild meeting which was a working meeting


The pattern is a simple nine patch and snowballs.


Have most of it done, just need to finish putting it together.
The whole idea for me doing the RSC13 is to use up the scrap pieces I have in tubs out it the garage. This is what my greens consist of 


For some reason, which I don't know, is how I came about having all this solid green fabric scraps. I probably have enough to make a dozen quilts like I'm making.
The other fabric I'm using in this baby quilt is a dress that was started and not finished. It's laying on top of the tub.

The other quilts I am working on is my daughters quilt.

Have all the blocks made and just again need to stitch it together.


Can't have a quilt on the floor without one of the cats on it. They are cat magnets if you ask me.


Now a little chick news
They are getting so big.
The babies have been in a box in the spare bedroom until I could get the "Man of the Place" to bring up the old stock tank into the garage. 

Now they are in their new spacious home until it is time to put them out with the big girls. A lot more room for them to run around in and grow. Plus not as messy as having them in the house. Chicks put off a very fine dust that gets all over everything, so now I need to give that room a thorough cleaning.

    Last year we had the chicks in the upstairs shower stall until they were ready to go outside - what a mess that bathroom was when I had to clean up. I never saw so much dust!

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.

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,...
