What's Up 6-9-14



I have been in a sewing slump for months now. I did finally get the "little dudes" minky blankets made before I left to spend time with them last month. Oh ya I did make a pair of pillowcases for them too. Mainly I've been knitting, cooking or gardening.
But this past weekend I helped work at Sager Creek's booth at the Tulsa Quilt Show and I was hoping it would get my creative juices flowing.
By george, I think its worked. I was reading others blog yesterday to see what others are up to, which I haven't done much of either and today I made another pair of pillowcases I started over a month ago.
I know it isn't much but it is a start and we have to start somewhere. You know baby steps. But it's like riding a bike, you don't forget you just have get back on and pedal.


The "little dudes" are into Cars, Planes and Thomas the train. They'll love these.
I made them using the sausage roll method here

Next is I want to try the Nested Churn Dash QAL over at quiltjane's


Why I don't  know, it's not like I have nothing started already but something about the pattern and then there is the challenge for me to stay focused on this.
I have been doing very well on staying focused (my one word) but sewing has not been part of what I have given myself to focus on. So since I've done well with changing my diet and working on the garden I believe I can add one more.

Well that what I can finally show for this time and I'll see what a week brings.

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        ...

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,...
