Modern Geese in Flight #2

I am going to entry this quilt and a couple others today at Amy's Creative Side Bloggers Quilt Festival.
This one is going in the Modern quilts category



The pattern was a Stash Buster pattern from Sager Creek Quilt Shop in Siloam Springs Arkansas.
Every other month they have a meeting for quilter to share, show and tell plus get patterns to help use up our stash. 



The fabric in this quilt was a gift from one of my daughters and in return I have made this quilt as a gift to her for Christmas.


There are 140 flying geese in this quilt. The block measures 6 x 3 and the quilt measures 53" X 66" 


I used Deb Tucker Wing Clipper to trim these blocks so they went together perfectly.


I had intended to quilt this myself on my home machine, I was going to use my walking foot to get the straight lines.
But I gave it to the quilter and he was able to get the look I was going to do. 
The lines are space at different widths. From 1/2" to 1 1/2"
Turn out just right.


Voting starts Oct 29 and goes on till Nov 5th

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
