What's Up 07.11.16

 I hope you're not tired of this yet but I have more progress to report on the "Words to Live By"



Yesterday I corrected the mistake I made and fused down the remaining pieces to the center block. I can say now that, all I have to do is blanket stitch and do a little embroidering



That black fabric is all cut, setting squares and the HST. 
I still have a few other blocks and you can tell from this picture with the vacant spots for the smaller 12 1/2 inch blocks. Still need to do some detailed embroidered on them.
I don't have all the setting triangles cut out on my design wall, it's not as big as my quilt it is.

I want to redo the design wall.
That is one of the things I would like to do after the carpet is laid, being that all the stuff will be out of the room. 


One that goes from the ceiling to the floor, right now I have a gap in both areas.



I've also started on the half square triangles I have all my fabric cut and the red and green prepped to start sewing and trimming. 



So far I have 48 HST units trimmed. That means only 624 to go.


Reminder about the giveaway for my five-year blog anniversary. Here's a link to the posting.

    Words to Live By is coming together beautifully. Though I do not envy you all those HSTs that need to be made.

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        ...

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,...
