Slow Sunday?

I cannot say that my slow Sunday is really that slow. I have a lot of things I would love to be able to do today.



First of all I am so happy and pleased to say that I have my daughters candy wrapper quilt top all pieced together. Now it's  only took like nine years to get this accomplished, but yeah



My daughter decided that she wanted her border to be done in pink so I have a pink solid that I am going to start putting on today.

Karen, here is Pete's close up.

And then there is my Stash Bee block for this month that I haven't made yet. So I would love to be able to get that done today and get it in the mail tomorrow.
Also there is the planning of the fall garden which I would love to take a little time this afternoon and work on that.
But then the weather is so beautiful here today, in the 80s, with a breeze from the north so there's no humidity. I would just love to be able to also take some time and just sit on the back porch with a book.
So do you see what I mean by not really a slow Sunday! 
Go by Kathy's quilts and see who else is having a wonderfully slow Sunday and what they are up too

    I've never heard of or seen a candy wrapper quilt and yet it looks so vintage. Love it.

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,...
