Tah Dah

Yeah!!!!


It's done. 
I really need to check and add up how many I've done this year to see what's the number is.



That way The Red String quilt would have a number.



But until then, Here it is.
Measures out to 99" x 99"
Some how bigger than I first considered. 


The block size is 12" finished.
Have 7 rows with 7 blocks in each row.
The border is 8" right now. I inserted a 2" strip of string pieced.



This is the book that has this pattern

    Wonderful!
    I like the contrast between the stripes and the red background.

    Congratulations on a gorgeous finish! The addition of that narrow scrappy border worked really well.

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        ...

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.
