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          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
