Love Sundays

I love Sunday for so many reasons and one is spending time with "The Man of the Place". We don't see enough of each other. 
A lot of our time is sitting and talking or watching movies or something, that's a great time for hand work.
Last night while watching the finale of Outlander I was working on this block.



By looking at it, it just didn't quite looked balanced, missing something. Oh crap, a set of berries.



Looked at the picture and sure enough I left them out, how can that be. Funny how we see what we think is correct.




That means I'll need to remove and move these pieces over to the right to make room for the berries I left out. 
Now I haven't done much ripping out of an appliqued piece, especially wool. Thank goodness the wool is of very good quality, very little stretch. 



Plus using Soft Fuse on this made it come off nicely and surprisingly I was able to refuse it down.



That is what I plan on doing today, working on this.

For those who don't know I'm having a giveaway to celebrate 5 years of blogging. I hope you will check it out and enter the drawing.
Here's a link

Thank you all for helping me by making me feel it's all worth it. I do wish I was a better typist or writer. But I have to say I now type with two hands and on average six fingers. Making progress.


Linking up with Kathy

    So glad that you figured out your mistake and were able to fix it relatively easily. It was certainly hard to spot.

    You make it looks so easy, it was hard to spot your mistake. Lovely that you were able to spend quality time with your husband.

    Your block is beautiful! You had such a positive attitude about your mistake - one that I could barely see, by the way!

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...
