Just Like a Turtle

IImage result for slow and steady steady and slow that's the way i always go cartoon

That has been me today. 
And you know what, I loved it and did manage to accomplish so much more than I really planned on.

The list for To do's was....


  Read a little

Start another batch of Lime Pickles

Put binding on one of the flying geese lap quilts



This is the first of the two that I have been working on. 




I used the scraps I had leftover from the geese for the binding. 





And I was very lucky cause I had just enough to be able to bind the both, in fact I had less than 12" left.
It is so nice to get these done and in plenty of time for Christmas. But if you were to look it up it's only 116 days (from today).




The last thing was to make something new with zucchini's.

I'm doing that now, making a dessert pie but won't know how it turned out till later and I'll share that tomorrow.

Write my Mom

My mother lives in Kenai, Alaska and I try to keep her up to date on how her middle daughter is doing. It's been around 10 years since I have been able to get up there so keeping in touch is so important to me.

 Till next time
This is one of my 2015 Finish-Along
and here is my list

    I love the idea of using the geese for the binding. Scrappy bindings are great for scrappy, colorful quilts. The geese quilt is gorgeous. I love the way it flows with that solid background.

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
