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          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
