What's Up 06.13.16



I am embracing mine and keeping it close all day.

Made the decision today that my day is going to be focus on one thing and that is sewing. After being back home now for a week and hadn't sewn any, that it's about time. 


Working on blocks for Farmers Wife and have three completed and two more ready to paper piece. Oh boy my favorite way.
After those I still have Month 13 collection which is four blocks..



I'm wanting to hurry through these so I can get back to working on the ISPY quilts and a few other projects. Keep thinking about wanting to start something new but also feel reluctant cause there so many projects needing to be finished. My will power is fading quick thou.



OK...... back to the present.
was able to stitch done the quarter section yesterday, added another quarter section...well all but the berries. The berries can easily be jarred loose. 



Maybe that's what I'll do next along with circles, start on the HS triangles.

    Love the applique project. We use store bought compost and top soil for all our containers and feed with a shop bought vegetable solution, hope that helps. They do seem to do well. I am hoping to get some sewing done today.

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        ...

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 c...

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.
