Sunday Blist


Today after church I just moved in slow speed.
I had intended to do a little outside but didn't.
Ended up doing some reading, helped "the man of the place" feed the cows and then some prep work on the outer border for the Scandinavian Christmas.





I had finished the last block (4) this week and now it's time to work on all the little blocks. There are 4 churn dash blocks to do for this last section.



And there is the outer border too.
It has a couple churn dash blocks, applique hearts blocks and cross stitch snowflakes.
I was going through the package with the pattern and fabric. I had purchased this BOM years ago and at the time didn't go through it to see if all the fabric was included. 
Has had all the fabric in each month up till now.
Should of 



Cause I'm missing the piece that I have highlighted.That is a good size piece and did not have scraps leftover that big.



Thank goodness I had bought some of that fabric years ago.
I just fell in love with it. French General by moda, which feels like real linen.




So I cut the 6" by width.
If I didn't have this fabric I'm not sure what I would've done, stress out of course.



Able to get what I needed cut and the Transfer Eeze put on each one. 



Ready to stitch while watching TV.

    Love, love, love this quilt! Can't wait to see how it all turns out please do show lots of in progress photos. I also think the purple scraps will make a super baby quilt hope you can find enough scraps to make that happen.

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        ...

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,...
