What's Up 04.04.16

What I started yesterday was cutting out the pieces for this month Stash Busters pattern. 



I have had the fabric picked out for quite a while now and I'm just finally getting around to cutting it and stitching. Seeing how the meeting is Thursday, no rush. LOL
All the fabric I did have in my stash and it will be a twin size quilt when finished.
Here is a link to the free pattern

I like getting the stash busters patterns from Sager Creek Quilt Shop. What a great way to use up what I already have without thinking about what pattern I'm going to use.
They are usually an easy pattern to construct, and this one will be what I consider one of those easy one.


I was in a rush and this ended being so blurry, sorry

As you can see it's just a bunch of squares and rectangles assembled together.


This one too

To me it looks like a sweet little girls quilt.

I would like to mow the weeds/lawn. But I'm afraid the lawnmower's battery is dead and I need to get "the man of the place"  to charge or replace it before I can. But the weather is the great, and the weeds are growing like crazy.

 So I'll just sew.

    I think I would rather sew than cut grass. Have a good day.

    always like that at the beginning of spring with our mower also, somehow we never think to start the mower ever 3 or 4 weeks in the winter time to keep it charged good

    A dead lawn mower battery can be a good thing. Love the start of your stash buster quilt.

    A fun and easy pattern, nice when you are trying to use up what you have. Looks like you got a good start. The rain has really got things going here. Thankfully My Guy does all the mowing. I just have to deal with the laundry. A fair trade in my mind.

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
