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        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. 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,...
