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

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,...
