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        ...

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.
