What's Up 3.22.16

I've had one of those weeks, I have intended to get so much done and just didn't happen. So I had nothing to write about. 
It's a new week and been able to get a little done.



Up on the wall is a little progress on the Scandinavian Christmas. 




All 4 blocks completed and sew. Added the inter border and now working on the prepping the applique blocks. 



There are 23 heart blocks. 



Doing the method of using freezer paper templates and with stray starch and a brush, moisten the edge and press it back onto the templates.



Then tack it done onto the background with a little glue and it's ready to stitch.



Also on the wall is a baby quilt I did last year. Going to add a border, want it to be a little bigger.
Then it's going to get sandwiched to be machine quilted. Need to get in some more practice in. So far I only have 4.5 hours in and nowhere near my goal. But little by little I'll get there



The background for the "Words to Live By" is patiently waiting to get worked on. 

 Linking up with 
patchwork times

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,...
