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        ...

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,...
