Finally Decided


It's been 5 years, 1 month and 9 days
This comes with my deepest gratitude for all who have been coming by.  

Never thought I would still writing all this time.
Meant to celebrate on the actual date but I wanted to be able to do something special for you. 
I have thought and thought about it but everything I think of is so blab, blab, blab.
Then I figure I'm not a very exciting person, just average I guess.
First it was a gift basket of quilting patterns and gadgets. Then I thought well not everyone is a quilter.
Ok how about a gift certificate to The Fat Quarter Shop, that way if you are into other sort of textile crafts that would work.
But what about other fibers like yarn. So I thought a certificate to the yarn shop I go to, Loops in Tulsa. What if the person wasn't into fibers but like to garden or chickens or ........
That's when I just thought about doing like the first anniversary  and give a gift certificate from amazon
  
BUT

My practicality kept peeking through,
so I figure I'll let the winner pick what they would like.

So that is what I've decided,
the winner decides.

  The choices will be $ 25 gift certificate from either
The Fat Quarter Shop
Loops
or Amazon

 To win, its the usual, just leave a comment.
If you're a follower leave an additional comment, that makes 2 chances.
You can say anything you like, only requirement is a way to get back to you. So if you're a no-reply kinda person leave me some way to get back to you otherwise most of you I can.

I'll give plenty of time so the drawing will be next Friday. July 15th

 Thank you everyone

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...
