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!

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
