1930's Farmers Wife Sampler

Last Tuesday was the 30's club at Sager Creek Quilt Shop and was the first meeting where we are starting  Laurie Aaron Hird's Farmers Wife 1930 Sampler and here is our fist 5 blocks


We had twice as many attending, then we had before and it was wonderful. 


The ones who's been attending this year were ready with their RSC15 blocks they made for the past months. 







This quilt is one of our past 30's quilt.
Eiko made it like just the pattern.
Very beautiful isn't it. 


Now I have finished mine and it is almost finished quilted but I changed it a little. Instead of the floral basket and went with a row of cottages.


I going to add clouds and I'm thinking of clumps of grass beneath the the houses and in-between.
Then it will be done.


I just love the look of hand quilting...... especially on the back.

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
