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.

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
