Slow Sunday

I am having a true slow Sunday. Got up at 7, which is sleeping in. And slowly had my cup of coffee, then finally got dressed and out of the house shortly before 9 o'clock. Now that is being slow. 
This morning is another gorgeous pre-fall morning.


 It was a pleasant walk


Then I spent some time in the garden. 


Tending to some weeds and planting a few more seeds for a fall crop. It's getting towards the end of the planting season.
Our first frost is around the first part of November.

Then this afternoon Bonnie Hunter had one of her "Quilt Cams". 


Which I haven't seen in a long time. So I stitched along with Bonnie. Worked on the Red String.

And then this evening I believe I am going


 to work some more on my Scandinavian Christmas. I've been taking a little break from hand quilting and appliquéing these past couple nights and doing some embroidery.
If you get a chance go over to Kathy's quilts and check out what others are doing today.

    I really like your Scandinavian Christmas. I've never watched one of Bonnie Hunter's Quilt Cams, but I did participate in her Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt last year and hope to do the one this year.

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        ...

It's for the Birds

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
