On a Roll



Have you heard the one about your on the way to the garden and you get distracted by a messy garage. 
Well that is what happen to me. 
Since I'm trying to get stuff taken care of before I leave, I realized that it's not just the garden I need to attend to but the potted plants I have around the porches.
Which means I need a place to put them in to protect from the cold. 
The dream of a greenhouse is still a dream so until then it's the garage....hence the cleaning.

Enough of the depressing stuff lets see what did get completed



Put the border on the big orphan block.
Done...ready to quilt...another one to practice on..



Did another Farmer's Wife.
A paper piece one.
Getting better at it, and by the time we're finished with the book I might be able to say I think I know a little about how to. 
And you never know I might even like it.
Maybe

    Paper piecing sure has it's uses. I'll probably never 'like' it, but it is definitely perfect for some applications! Good luck getting everything taken care of!

    Oh, Yes, the things I've done on the way to do what I intended and by the time that was finished, I forgot what I intended to do.

    Paperpiecing is wonderful for accuracy. After pp most of the blocks in my Jane Stickle quilt, I now consider myself knowledgable about pp! Your blocks look good. Have a restful vacation. Gretchen

    Looks like it was a productive week on the making blocks part. Hopefully you got the garage all clean. It always seems like you need to clean one thing before you can make something else work.

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
