My July OMG

Yesterday I was in Tulsa most of the day looking for new flooring samples to bring home. I'm narrowing down what looks good with the existing  woodwork I have in my home. Have the plushness decided now it's the color of the carpet. Linoleum I have already decided on.
Becuase being gone, I did no sewing yesterday. But I do want to share what my OMG goal for this month. I found out about the OMG at Red Letter Quilts about a month ago, after I had gotten back from the boys.
This is the first time I will be participating and giving myself this one month goal. If not like I haven't given myself goals in the past but first for this.



So I'm being very ambitious and devoted to finishing my "Words to Live By quilt.





 I pretty much have all the appliquéd blocks completed but still need to do some embroidery detail and a little bit more on my center block.




That means after that is putting in all the setting triangles and making the 672 HST.



Getting the HST made and sewn into a border I figure if a good lofty goal for the month. I'm not going to have the quilt totally finished, just the top. Due to the fact that I'll have to drop it off at the quilters when the top is done and I have no control over how long it will take them to get it quilted

There goes, my first OMG for 2016 and you'll probably get tired of seeing this quilt all through the month but I have to share my progress.

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          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

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 cott
