New To Me




This morning after I had done a few things I usually get online and go to my Blogger site to check my stats and comments etc.
Noticing that I had a lot of comments that I had not responded back to, figure that would be the next thing I was going to do and cleanup my emails.
But I got sidetracked by going to a few of the blogs I follow and I don't know if you do this but I'll go to one blog that will have a link or subjects that interests me and will go to that, and before you know it I'm off somewhere.
Well that is what happened this morning, it led me to a website which I had never heard of before and that was quiltalong.net.
Now you might of been there already, seeing how I figure you all are savvy bloggers. I read it's been around for a year.

I far as I can tell there is no membership or fees required to view the quiltalong or the link parties. You can sign up for a newsletter that I understand gives you updates on new ones being posted. I think it's a pretty cool site as far as I can tell and so I'm going to go ahead and put their button on my side bar there so if you need it in the future it will be located there

    I poke about blogs like that too! I have also just been on twitter poking around in a similar way! Good fun isn't it and it leads you to all kinds of places! xx

    I think the old word for finding yourself a bit far from where you started was "surfing" the internet. I keep a pinterest board of all the quilt alongs I locate, and just for 2016 so far I've got over 60 pins. The link is not far down the right column on my blog. You may find some there that aren't listed at quiltalong dot net.

    I've heard it termed, "jumping down the rabbit hole". But sometimes you find some real treasures that way.

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          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
