Whats Up Today

Up on my design wall today is one of my UFO's 
My Nested Churn Dash Blocks.

I have 7 of the 9 blocks done, so I only need to get those 2 done and figure out how I want to set them.
I am going to  make this one of my UFO's to finish this month.
Over at Sew BitterSweet Designs blog  you can link up to tell what is going to be your finished project for the month. Only need to commit to one so this is mine. There you can see others who are doing the same thing as to finishing up a Lovely.

 I still have this months RSC (pink) to do and while looking for pink fabric I came across some unfinished pink basket blocks. I will add that to my personal to do list.
Plus finish my Pea Ridge Lily 
this is the original in Barbara Brackman book Civil War Quilts

 Mine is in blues.

      Anna I'm trying. Here soon will be gardening time and it seem as I'm getting older, its more challenging to be able to sew as much as I could before during growing season as I can now. But I refuse to give either one of them up.

    You're so close with the churn dashes! Way to go with those. :)

    [I'm jealous that you can have egg hens! - I've heard they need certain number of hours of daylight for good egg-laying - do you find that is so?]

      Your right about how light effect the hens with laying eggs. I need to look it up but I can tell when the daylight is short and no light int the hen house I get so few eggs compared to during the longer days of summer.

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...
