What's Up 6-16-2014

Hey there,
 I have some progress to show in the quilting department and it has been awhile since I say that.
I'm so excited to be able to show you what I've done.
Did get one Nested Churn Dash block made that I told you about last week  here 



Just love this pattern for some reason.
Been wanting to make a quilt using the gray and yellow fabric I've been collecting for sometime now and this pattern is perfect for it.


Do have quite the collection.
It's an easy pattern and love the size of the blocks, 24 inches



But that's not all, I'm on a roll or you could say I found my Mojo.

I took a class Saturday to help get me motivated.
It was one using Creative Grids Curvy Log Cabin trimming tool.
Makes making this block a breeze.





Was able to get 20 blocks done Sat.
The pattern has you making 16 more but that is for a quilt 60" x 60" but I would like mine to be at least a twin size. Which means I'll probably need 3x's that many. Will be a pretty quilt and a great way to use up some of my stash.

    Love your nested churn dash! I wanted to do the quilt along but I have so many projects going right now. But I did buy the pattern and add it to my list. Yours will be just lovely!

    Nice! I went to start sewing, and after breaking needles and tearing out hair, found out I need to have it adjusted down below. Who knew? Luckily a guy down the street is highly recommended. I love to sew in the summer....

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,...
