How I did last month

How did I do? 
Well I guess it depends on what I'm considering, the garden, weightloss and health, quilt projects, etc.
My garden has had such a setback in planting and such with this unusual spring we are having here. Normally the last frost date is around the 10th of April but here we have had a couple of nights that were frosted and they are predicting the possibility of another freeze Friday morning. Needless to say I have hesitated from planting the tomatoes and other warm loving veggies. 
My heel is finally starting to get better but only because I have been limiting myself from being on my feet which means I haven't been back to my daily walks. So I pretty much stay the same last month.
Now for my Get-R-Done's for last month.

1. 30's Row Quilt - done  

2. Christmas String Quilt -  have all the pieces made and I'm now assembling them - almost done

  3. My daughter's Quilt - top done, basted and I'm now quilting by hand.

4. Pea Ridge Lily - is still being prepared, I wanted enough ready to applique on this month- done

Overall I have done well, a lot better than my garden or weight loss.

Now I need figure out what I think I can or want to get done this month.
May can be a very busy month around the farm so I'll have to take that into consideration.

    making a realistic goal, what a concept! Makes sense, though I so seldom do it. Hope you get all done in May that needs to be.

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        ...

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...
