Never Too Late To Learn Something New

Starting today was the first meeting for the Block Busters created by Deb Tucker at Sager Creek Quilt Shop in Siloam Springs Arkansas.
It's a free class that meets each month where we will make 2 blocks each month, one for our self's and another to be donated for charity quilts.



These blocks are being made using Deb Tuckers FUNdamental tools.



At this meeting today the block we made used the Tucker Trimmer.

If you haven't seen or heard of one here is a link to Studio 180 Designs


There was a good turn out, actually the response has been so positive that they have 3 different time slots and they are all full.



Not just making the block but we had a chance to see how value combinations effects the overall look of the block. Just by looking at all the ones here is just a small taste. Like the one above, changing the dark red to the more medium floral gives its such a different feel.





The Tucker Trimmer helps make perfect hour glass unit and half squares.

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        ...

It's for the Birds

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,...
