What's Up

Had intended to post this yesterday like normal but I spent the day in Tulsa. That was not my plan, so I didn't get one lick of sewing in.
Wanted to show the progress made on the 2 baby quilts. 




The first is done in turquoise and gray with the Twisted Blossom pattern that was a QAL by Sew Kind of Wonderful. I just love their Quick Curve Ruler, it's a lot of fun to use.
Actually  enjoy it so much that it's also the tool I'm using for our stitch groups paint chip challenge.

I'm going to use their pattern Urban Nine Patch.
Now if you haven't heard the paint chip challenge this is our stitch group spin on it.
  We take the first letter of our first name, our middle name, and our last name.
Our twist is we added the first letter to our maiden name that makes now 4 choices.
From those letters that you have in your name you are to find a paint chip color that name starts with that letter
Here are mine.


My initials; K L B C


Then you're allowed to use a neutral which can be white, black or gray..... your choice
I chose grey.
Total now it's five colors.


We decided for the pattern it will be a nine patch.....
 any type of nine patch....
no limitation on what kind.

We also decided that it would be the size of a baby quilt so when we are completed we will donate our quilts.

This is what I have so far.


Lousy picture.
I had all these pinks that match one of the color chips nut not enough fabric. 



I have to look for some on the shop hop this weekend. Taking a bus to 3 states and 9 shops. 
Going to be fun.

 love laugh quilt

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        ...

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,...
