Not much today

I wasn't home much today, I had to go pick up a quilt that was ready. Their is a group of hand quilters in Bella Vista Arkansas that did my quilt. I have to take pictures tomorrow to show. Even tho I hand quilt, I just have way more quilts that I want done by hand than I can get to. 
Now Bella Vista is about an hour 1/2 from my home and I had a few stops to make also. So you can see why it would take almost all day. 
I didn't do any gardening but
I did get some sewing in. I almost have this one assembled


Than my quilters ADD is flaring up again.
I have bought a while back Sew Kind of Wonderful's Quick Curve Ruler and have been wanting to use it but told myself not until I finish some of my unfinished projects. Well they are doing a Twisted Blossom QAL and I can't resist.


It's outside my box but I think one of my daughter's will like it.
I have collected from my stash a group of teal/turquoise and gray fabric.


Now if this is something you would like to do too... go here to their blog to get all the information needed.

It's an 8 week QAL and something you can do at your own pace.
(WHICH I NEED)
I still have 2 more Ruby Gardens to finish

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        ...
