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!

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          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

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
