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

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...
