The good life

Some days you think life could not get any better. This weekend was one of those.
It was quiet which gave me time to reflect on my life.  What I've done, where I've been, where I'm at and where I see myself in the future but not just myself my family too.
That's what sewing does for me sometimes, give me that quiet time to think and reflect.
So this weekend I was able to have enough time to finish my RSC 15 blocks. 



And finish prepping the Words to Live By  blocks and if Scandinavian Christmas that I have been working on off and on all week. 
I had also given it some thought about a couple projects I had started and where I see myself going with those. 


And decided that instead of making a full size quilt out of the twisted blossom block I'm just going to make a baby quilt.


Using this Grey and turquoise. 
 So today I will spend part of it cutting out what I need to make this baby quilt and another. 


And should have enough to put up on the design wall to show tomorrow.
Then I spent time just relaxing and going through old quilt magazine.
It's something that has been needed for quite a while
Cannot think of a better relaxing activity then to sit on the back porch and browse through magazines

    Nothing beats putting your feet up with a magazine and a cup of tea.

    It was a beautiful weekend to be sitting out on the porch. Looks like you got lots of decisions made and a start on the outcomes.

    LOVE your Twisted Blossom block!! I like your plan for a baby quilt in gray and turquoise. It will be so soothing for a sweet little bundle.

    We all have to take time to stop and reflect on what we're doing and where we're headed. Glad you found such an opportunity for yourself. :- )

    Love all your blocks. Beautiful orange prints.
    Sometimes I think you can never make too many baby quilts.

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
