Lovely Slow Sunday





This is the first time in over a month that I've been able to slow down and do some needle work on a Sunday. And I'm enjoying every minute of it. 



Today I am working on the last block to be appliquéd for the quilt "Words To Live By". 
I have completed appliqueing the corners and the surrounding blocks. 




Seeing how this a large block and there are lots of pieces to be attached, 



I'm doing it in quarters, so it's easier for me to handle and make sure my pieces don't come off of the background.

It feels so good to be appliquéing, and it's been a while since I've taken time to do some. 




Seeing how this is the last block to be appliquéd I really need to start thinking and getting serious about making all the half square triangles that will be in this quilt.
I would love for this to be completed and quilted by the end of the year. I believe I can do it.

    Yes--you can do it! I made all my HST's at a quilt retreat, so it was a little less painful--lol!

    Your blocks are beautiful! It must feel great to be on the last block. What a LOT of half-square triangles to be sewn. I'm glad you can finally devote some time today to hand stitching. It's always a pleasant time (at least for me).

    Beautiful blocks! Glad you got in some slow stitching time. I don't envy your triangle making job. That's a lot of little, bitty pieces. But it's going to be gorgeous, so it's all worth it.

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        ...
