Curvy log cabin


I am entering this quilt at Amy's Creative Side Bloggers Quilt Festival 
This quilt will go in the Scrappy Quilt category



The pattern is from Creative Grid but with some changes. 
The original pattern was for a small wall hanging but I had so many strips in my scrap pile I just needed to make it bigger. I barely made a dent in my pile too.


I used Creative grids curvy log cabin ruler. I have use this ruler on quite a few projects and I love how easy it is to get the look you get.



I have scraps in this quilt that date back to the 70's and bring back so many memories. To me that is what a true scrap quilt does



Pieces of our life in scraps, pieced together


Had it machine quilted in the Baptist Fan pattern.
I just love that pattern, an old traditional pattern that gives this quilt a feel of age.



This is such a great snuggle quilt and is a large queen size. 
That way when in use on the couch you can totally wrap up in it 


Voting starts Oct 29 and goes on till Nov 5th 
at Amy's Creative Side

Thank you for taking time to look at my quilt and would

 love your vote.

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
