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.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

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        ...
