Sundays

I love Sundays. And today have been a good Sunday.
"The Man of the Place" took me out for dinner, so that meant no cooking and no cleaning. Yippee
The rest of my afternoon and evening will be devoted to handwork.





I will quilt some and now that I finish having to remake a template
 for the center of the Rocking Road Block. 



 And a Walking Dead marathon.
Yes you read right, these oldies  like The Walking Dead.
Have to have one fault
Anyway enough of that. 
Yesterday didn't do anything other than clean house 
yuck... yuck... 
but it needed to get done.



 Friday tho did start quilting, machine quilting, on a baby quilt. It's one I'm going to give to a new Mommy at church
Not being very adventurous, I'm using my walking foot. Should practice with my quilting foot, doing straight lines but thought just because I'm a beginner and don't think I stress myself out too bad and just use a walking foot




And so far it's doing pretty good. 
Don't think I'll get my 10 hours in before Monday but I'll have a few hours in.
Oh I forgot to tell you yesterday besides cleaning, I had full intentions of doing some gardening. Never got around to gardening. 


But my elderberries came in the mail that I had ordered. I wasn't expecting them till Tuesday. It caught me off guard.  So tomorrow I'll be getting those into the ground.
Along with getting in my root crop. It will be the last good day to plant if going by the moon.


Orange is for root crops

Next year I'll be picking elderberries

    Such beautiful work, a real delight to see. I have just started thinking about the garden and have got the seed box out but that is as far as it goes. We are still having hard frosts at night, which I am using as an excuse. Take care.

    Where do you find the calendar that shows when it is time to plant root crops etc? I love the feather you are quilting. Did you free hand it or use a template?

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,...
