NewFO - Applique BOM

 Time to reveal my NewFO the month of June.


 


I've probably bitten off more than I should but I just love her design this time and I'm catching it right in the beginning, no catching up to do.
Over at Esther's blog she has started her new BOM. It is an intense applique design. Drafted from a picture of Historical quilt dated 1790 she calls Love Entwined.

This is the center portion but
isn't it just gorgeous and there is still time to join if you are up to the challenge and believe me I think it will be.
But what an heirloom quilt.
Can go to her website and link over to her yahoo group and join, then you'll start receiving the monthly pattern.
Right now I am deciding on fabric choices. She has on her blog posted 4 colorways she had thought about and then on the group discussion there also other colorways.
I believe I am going to go scrappy with a light background.

    I've decided to do this one too - don't know if I'll manage it but - nothing ventured nothing gained, if you never start you can't finish........you get the idea. So far I've downloaded the instructions, read them through and like you, decided I'll go for the light scrappy option. That's it. Ha ha. I also usually grow vegies but the weather's been awkward this year over here (England) extreeeemly cold and wet wet wet when it was time to start planting most stuff I grow. So far only the garlic, tomatoes, rhubarb,strawberries,raspberries, and herbs are playing ball, so I decided to have a break this year and do more quilting. Look forward to seeing your progress on the Love Entwined quilt over the next months. Elaine

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,...
