My Friday Finish


 My finish for the week was the Thangles sampler that I started way back and can now cross it off my list. 
I learned from this quilt is I am not a Thangles girl. But I did like the fact of taking a strip and being able to mark, sew and trim away to get your HST


One of the best part is that I used only fabric from my stash.
I do not have a lot of batiks but from the few I had, the one seen here for the alternate blocks work out perfect. I couldn't of picked out one better.
I had also had set aside for another project the dark brown that I used to seperate the blocks from the border.




The pictures are not very good, at the time I took these we were being drench in rain and the natural light was poor.

The quilt measures 67x54

Linking up with crazy mom quilts

    Your quilt is beautiful! You are right... you could not have purchased a better coordinating fabric. Love your batiks.

    Wow! That's really terrific, and double bonus for the stash-only factor!

    Congrats on the finish, it turned out beautifully. I'm not a fan of thangles either, but it's nice to know how to use them.

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
