What's up



I've been pretty busy since last Thursday so I haven't been able to post anything about what I've been doing sewing wise or around the farm. I've been away doing what  most people probably are doing and that it's Christmas shopping and taking care of things that need to be done before Christmas.


I did want to say before I show you what's up on the design wall and that Is I haven't seen the buzzard for a week. So I'm going to assume that since I haven't found a dead buzzard and haven't seen it.  It's safe to say it was well enough to take off and do his buzzard  thing

Now with what's up on the design wall is what I had started last week and was able to squeeze in a block or two over the weekend and that is the Farmer's Wife 1930 Samplers blocks. 


As you can see I have seven blocks and I need to do two more to complete the two sets that I was given to work on.
They are mainly paper pieced and like I had said in previous post I am not a paper piecer  and I'm kind of slow.

    For some reason I was so relieved to hear that there was no sign of the buzzard and that he had probably flew off. Your blocks are such a delight to look at, you are a true artist with the colour palette.

    Glad that the buzzard is well enough to be off doing buzzardly things. It is hard to get stuff done in the sewing room this time of year, but it looks like you are keeping your hand in it. Hope the rest of your holiday prep goes smoothly.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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        ...

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 c...
