A Slow Sunday


Today has been a very slow day, I guess it's because of the it is hot out and all I want to do it is veg inside. I have two things I have to work on while sitting in the cool house.
I'm getting right along on quilting my daughters quilt.



 
I notice that one of the fabrics show light in the pictures, but not in person.



When I get tired of quilting I can sewing on my other daughters quilt, called Candy Wrapper.
Do you notice something odd about one of the rows?



Yes I did it again, sewn it together wrong. I don't know how I manage to get it backwards.
I had thought after the first time I had been more watchful of how it was arranged.
Oh well what could be slower than ripping stitches out.






Such a fun pattern.

Piecing by hand is very relaxing.

    It's awful having to rip seams. The fabrics you use for the candy wrappers are gorgeous. What a beautiful quilt!

    Both of your quilts are very nice. I like the candy wrapper. I have never seen that design before. You are right - hand sewing is very relaxing. I like it because I can get more exact results than with the machine.

    Your quilts are so pretty and so different in style, which I'm assuming that shows your daughters different styles. I have 3 daughters and their choice in quilts would be in 3 totally different styles. I've always loved the candy wrapper pattern,

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
