My Slow Sunday

I have more than some piecework planned for today. Yesterday I picked 16 lbs of green beans which I need to prep and clean for canning and freezing. So while watching last season episodes of "Breaking Bad" getting ready for the start of the new episodes later tonight.



Then when I'm done with them, I am working on prepping some more blocks for the Pea Ridge Lily.



And if I have enough time I'm going to make the circles for the ring the surrounds the compass to my Love Entwined.



I have the pattern put together and next is I need to make the templates for this month part. 







There are the triangle shapes, flowers and the floating flowers.



Then there is the zig-zag border and as you can see it is 1 1/2 wide by 3/4 inch  pieces in this border.




 But all of that is for another day, I have enough to do already.
I hope your Sunday is slow and enjoyable.

    I have thought about doing love entwined, and seeing yours is making me wonder if I should look at it again. I probably should should at least print out the pattern

    Oh my... both of those projects look very complicated! Hope you enjoy your slow stitching today!
    You do tempt me to give circles another try!

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
