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.

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        ...

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
