What's Up Oct 12

Here it is Monday already and "The Man of The Place" had to go back to work and life for me is back to the usual.
After a morning of taking care of the plants and animals. Then a few phone calls to take care getting the propane tank filled and towing a truck to the shop, I can now write about what is up on the design wall.  
Seeing how "The Man of The Place" was home all week, I have up the same thing I did the week before. 



Two baby quilts started.



Both are patterns by Sew Kind of Wonderful using the Quick Curve Ruler.



Did locate some brown fabric for this months color for RSC15



Started cutting today and the intentions are to get whats up on the wall and the blocks for this months color finished by then of the week. I think that's doable.

    Love how our Mondays were similar. I 'ate the frog' and got so many dreaded little projects done, but actually never got to my studio. You look like you're gearing up for some sewing today so I'll look forward to seeing your design wall growing next week. : )

    Love the blocks from that curved ruler. Perhaps you could show a picture of it one of these posts! I particularly like the turquoise block. Nice job.

    Dang, I'm going to have to get that ruler! I've been putting it off, but I love the way your blocks look. Curvy yumminess! :) Thanks for linking up to MCM - I hope you're having a great sewing week.

    That pink block is really cute, but it looks really complicated.

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
