My Sunday



It has been a very relaxing Sunday for me. With the new cold front that came in today it was a great day to to watch a good movie and do some handwork. I had prep the first block of Morning Glory's BOM, 

Columbine 

I know the picture she has is with a black background but I wanted to do mine in an off white sateen. I just love the look of sateen.
We watched the movie Boyhood. I thought it was so nice to see the actors all age naturally. I felt it displayed real life.
And then we watch the first few episodes of Longmire on Nexflix. I was so pleased when they picked up that series after A & E dropped it. 
I'm going to link this up at Kathy's Quilt and I hope you'll go check out all the others who have too.

    Wow that's a beautiful design and you've got a good start on it. I looked through your blog to see how you prepped your pieces and I had never heard about the RT stabilizer before. I'm going to have to try it because while I know how to do needle-turn hand applique, I also often do IMA and am still looking for an effective way to prep the pieces. Thanks for sharing!!

      Thank you very much, I think she designed a beautiful quilt. Now for this project since I'm hand stitching it I am using a fusible wash away applique sheets by C & T publishing. You can put it through your printing or trace your design. Cut out the pieces and fuse to the wrong side of the fabric. Trim a 1/4 - 1/8 inch around and with an acid free glue stick fold over the edges instead of needle turning. Then applique down. It's thin enough that it is easy enough to stitch through. I use Ricky Tims paper only when I machine applique cause it is a bit thicker and harder to needle through. I hope that will help you even further in trying new ways and seeing if it one that will work for you.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

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        ...
