Slow stitching

Hadn't been able to do much stitching today.  Had my parents over for dinner which meant beside cooking I needed to clean some. 
Tried this new recipe I seen on TV,  Cooks Country on PBS. They made what was described as donuts in a muffin pan. Just had to give it a try.


Love anything with cinnamon 

So this evening brought out the 30's Sampler and did some quilting. 


This is what's in the hoop. 


Each time what's in the hoops gets quilted mean I'm getting closer to the end. 
I meant to add this to the lists of finishes for this quarter. Was in such a rush to get the post out, this got overlooked.

    One benefit of having my parents living 300 miles away = not having to do housework before a visit! Your sampler is looking good and must've been a relaxing ending to the day :)

    Nice to see the 30's again. :) Visitors here means the same thing in terms of lost quilting time to cleaning. We really are terrible at daily housework here.

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
