Sew-a-thon Day 2 (with updates)



I'm ready
Showered, dressed, and had breakfast.
 It's day two


 of my personal sew-a-thon. I think I made a good dent in my tub.
  

What do you think?
So I will do like I did yesterday, I will post updates a couple times during the day and evening.
When the title of my post said (with updates) that mean of course added something. So if you come back to look to see if I've done anything you don't see that up there you'll know that I hadn't posted anything yet. 


The first project I'll work on is that stash busters.
  

I will finish putting the rows on that and then the border. 


Then I'll go back to the binding strips I cut. Do some pressing and will be ready to attach to the quilt.
Not sure how long but I'll get back on show the finished top. 
Till then 
Well my morning and early afternoon did not go as I had planned. The "man of the place" with home to take care of some chores with the cattle because of this cold snap we've had. He normally works full-time in Tulsa but because of the weather he had things he had to take care of this morning so that put me off a little bit.
Took me a lot longer to finish the top for stash – busters. 


And I did get that binding pressed and ready to go to put on the quilt too. 
But here it is now 4 o'clock and I need to go to the store, so there is another bit of my day taken out.


When I get back from the store I am going to try to at least get one of the three blocks prepared done of my Nested Churn Dash. 
Till later


Did get the one block done but that is all.


These are the ones I have done, looking very pretty.
Now I'm ready to kick back and watch TV with the "man of the place"


Back tomorrow

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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        ...

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 c...
