What's Up 02.15.16





I have still up and working on is Sew Kind of Wonderful's Metro Twist. Plus something else.

All I've been up to this morning is non-thinking job of straightening up in the sewing room. That is because I didn't sleep very well last night, due to my stomach acting up. I ate a combination of foods I wasn't eating during the Whole 30 and because I did not introduce it as single choice but together. I had a grill cheese sandwich with later a little chocolate candy. So needless to say I didn't do what I said I would and now I don't know if it's the cheese or the bread or it could be the chocolate. 

Anyway I've been in so motion all morning.



While straightening up I came across a couple of orphan blocks or unfinished project.
I saw one of Jenny Doan video called Disappearing Hourglass 2 a while back
Very easy pattern and plan to finish, just not sure I'll get to it today seeing how I'm working on the Metro Twist. But knowing how I can be so ADD at times you never know, I might have to.

Well that's it, not too much.

    I hope you will be able to get back to feeling good soon, and try again with the reintroductions. Good for you for accomplishing something on a day like today! I like the disappearing hourglass.

    I really like the blue-and-white blocks. Curved piecing is on my need-to-practice list.

    I like how you used the stripes in the yellow to add to the design. And the blue curved piecing is great.

    Sorry about the stomach problems, I hate it when it interferes with sleep. I really like that yellow block, very bright.

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
