Scrappy Saturday

Today was Dogwood Quilters Guild meeting in Siloam Spring Arkansas.
Even tho I live in Oklahoma I am very close to Siloam Springs which happens to have a very active guild. I haven't been to a meeting in months but this one I just happen to attend was having a class on making the Migrating Geese. Here is a link to a good tutorial of her plus Deb Tuckers. 
Over at Soscrappy I'm joining in on this month's color of brown with an accent of pink.
I had this so cute Eggs and Bacon with cubby Pigs fabric and figure this would be perfect for this month's baby quilt.


What do you think...... adorable isn't is 

Our teacher for the day was a member and shop owner of the local Quilt shop Sager Creek, Pam Goggans.


Excellent teacher and if you are in the area you need to drop by her shop. She has a quilt in the Jan,/Feb. issue of Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting. That is just her latest published pattern.


I took my Featherweight to use cause it's the perfect machine for classes and retreat. Just love sewing on that little mighty machine. I need to come up with a name for her..


I made great progress but not quite done. If I had of started earlier and didn't have to stop to come home, there is no reason this could've been completed in one day.

This one has a single color for the geese but it is so pretty scrappy.


 Whether it's used as columns or a border.

    I've never seen migrating geese. Thanks for sharing. I'm not usually a border person but I think they would make a cute border.

    I love your piggy fabric- I think I could find a use for several yards of that!

    What a pretty goose pattern. Such a nice change from the usual without being too crazy.

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
