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.

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        ...
