A Day in my Happy Place

I had full intentions of sewing part of the day... seeing how the prediction was right for rain all day. But I starting to clean and couldn't stop, ended up in my sewing room and was able to organized quite a bit.

Boy, sure need to organize the fabric
It started out by cleaning up around the floor area.
Then I went over to the quilting books and decided to go through them, purged a few.



Decided next to clean off my sewing area and water my plants.
It looks really nice and clean now.



But from the next picture you can see all the stuff hidden underneath the table, which I did not get to.
ON THE LIST


Had the floss to return back to the main storage from embroidering the RG blocks
Seeing how cleaning out and organizing my sewing room was one of my goals for the year, I figured I better put a little more effort into it.
Need to organize my scraps. I have enough bins to put them in now... I just need to label which size go where and start sorting



So I have this little tub... I figure if I can do a little each day, I'll be able to get through the scraps without feeling overwhelmed.



I decided on one of the two remaining Ruby Garden quilts. Have the fabric picked out. These picks are with my middle daughter in mind ... 
she'll be next
But seeing how it's time for dinner and I need to put this up but will get to all the cutting tomorrow, seeing how again 
they'll predicting rain all day.


Besides the Ruby Garden's, need to catch up on RSC15, have May, June and July.

    It always feels like you are starting with a clean slate after a bit of cleaning in the sewing room. Looks great.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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...
