What's Up 3.14.16

Made it back from Dallas around midnight and slept in this morning. Felt good. 
The Dallas show was excellent, the quilts gorgeous, and we did pretty well at our booth also.
I have been working the Dallas show for six years now and I have enjoyed it every time I go.
It's just a wonderful show. And if you ever get a chance you ought to try. Mark it on your calendar and. it's usually the second weekend in March




So what I have up on my wall is the start of the last block to be appliquéd to my Words to Live By quilt.



I'm working on tracing my appliqué pieces to some Soft Fuse.


I like using Soft Fuse with wool, because it's so flexible and works with the wool very well, sticks to it excellently.



The other half of the wall is devoted to the Scandinavian Christmas wall hanging. I'm working on the churn dashes for blocks 4. 



Already have the crossed stitch snowflake block finish for that section. 



And I took with me to Dallas the snowflakes that need to be cross stitch for the outer border. 



I was able to get a few of those completed.Would be pretty tired in the evening so didn't get much done while there.

    I love your Christmas quilt - how lovely that you could get something useful done while at the show. It's one I've wanted to do, but the chance hasn't come yet. I'm glad you weren't flooded! Thanks for the information on Soft Fuse. I've been looking for something like that as I'm planning a big project for next year!

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. I figure we need to refrain ourselves and keep it down to a couple episodes a night. Today I put a binding on another quilt from the pile. ...

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        ...
