Doing The Happy Dance

That's Right



Happy Dance

I can say with such delight I am finally finished quilting on the 30's Sampler.





These picture are from last summer and most of the basting stitches were in.  I had this one basted on a large quilting machine so that is why there are all those straight line.

I quilted a quarter inch from the seams on 99% of the quilt. The only time I quilted closer was when I quilted around an appliqued piece.



So today I am going to make a binding and I'm thinking of using all 30's solids, in all the colors I have.

Attach that down while watching the Superbowl (love the commercials) 

Boy after 5 years, that's how long it's been since I started quilting on this and I believe this is the first post written  about quilting on this back in Dec. 2012. And at that time I said I started it the year before.

If I happen to get the binding on and have time before the game, I'll try to finish the flying pigs baby quilt top. That one is going to be a quilt to practice machine quilting on.

Till later,

    Oh what a great outcome. I am not a great lover of samplers but this layout is awesome. Ok maybe it's those old samplers that are blocks surrounded by sashing. Maybe it's just the sashing! LOL I am looking forward to doing a red and white quilt so that I can just stitch a quarter inch away from seams. Sounds so wonderful!

    Depression era prints are always charming as is your quilt. Congrats on sticking with a 5-year project.

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        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. 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,...
