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.

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        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. 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,...
