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          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
