Saturday of Scrappy Sewing

RSC15  January's Blocks



I had gotten a late start working on these blocks. Part of the reason was I was away for part of the month but the main reason is I couldn't decide which pattern(s) I wanted to do. 
Yeah I know, I have a list of UFO's a mile long and what am I thinking about by even starting another quilt,
 let alone 5.
Yes I said 5. Call me crazy but I can reason it out in my mind with the fact I have tubs of scraps that are needing to be used.
And even after making all these blocks I believe the tub has gotten bigger.

Before I started
Afterwards
    See what I mean.

     I believe I have 
          created a 
           monster.


So here are my blocks


The pattern is Red Letter Day by Camille Roskelley for 
Thimble Blossom



This is a free pattern here on 


This one I am using Creative Grids Curvy Log Cabin Trim Tool.
I am going to make color balls. Putting 4 blocks together. Just hadn't finished the other 3 as I write this. I'll get to it tomorrow.


This one I had seen at a guild meeting years ago.
When I have a few more made I'll show what it will look like, a very simple blocks.


A simple nine patch using this method here. 
Making them my enders.

So there it is, a glimpse of my insanity.
I just wish I could show a dent in my scrap piles.

    I have so many scraps and I just keep adding to them - I think I need to set aside one day of the week that is devoted to making blocks from the scraps

      That is a good plan if you ask me. It's funny that I didn't realize how much scraps I had. I'll keep a look out for what you do.

    Beautiful blocks. Are we not all a little insane. My scrap pile does the same, it gets bigger when I work with it. Whenever you figure that out, please let me know, because I do not have a glue why that happens.
    Greetings,

    Fun projects. Maybe they will help make a bit of a dent in your scrap bins, or at least you can say you made a start.

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
