What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up
Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to.
So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree 
wall hanging


I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow.


While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric
Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected.



I started late making my blocks for RCS14
First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July.
One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half to do. Same pattern just will alternate the white and color strips.



The other quilt started is this one called Railroad Crossing. Using some of my collection of reproduction prints.




Takes 36 blocks so I need 3 in each color.
I'm still working on these.


And I did get one more block done of the Nested Churn Dash.
So loving the looks of these blocks.

Well you see, even though I have been very bad about posting here this past month I have been sewing.

      I had receive the pattern from Sager Creek Quilt and Yarn Works, in Siloam Spring Ark. I believe Pam ordered it from the company that makes Creative Grid rulers. On the pattern it had the name Cut Loose Press. Hope that helps

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
