I Love Sundays

Sunday is my favorite day of the week for many reasons.
First and foremost it is the Sabbath, which brings a sense of calmness for me. 
I try to do as little work as I can get away with here on the farm but unfortunately the animals do not know what day it is.
Once they are taken care of...
I will enjoy the slowness of the day.
I worked a little on the lap quilt up on the wall. Have the blocks together but now it's deciding on the border. 


While sewing I listen to Ulysses, I'm on Chapter 2 only 7% of the book. No way I'll have it completed on Tuesday.

Then I've been appliqueing my "Words of Wisdom" blocks using the bottom hole stitch.


 I just finished this block

And have started on this one

 

 Last year while at my daughter's she turned me on to Passion Ice Tea ... well this year she upped it a notch by introducing me to her version of Starbucks Passion Lemonade.

I have a new love now. So refreshing and easy to make. 
Make a batch of passion tea - I fill my glass about 3/4 with the tea.
Now you can sweeten your tea with whichever sweetener you like and than fill the remaining portion of your glass with lemonade. 
I bet you'll find it delightful too.

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,...
