What's Up 07.18.16



What's up on the wall this week will be the "Words to Live By. Last week I was able to complete all the 12 inch blocks and now ready to sew the setting triangles on. 


Been working steadily on the HST, have the fabric marked and ready to sew. Started with 28 pieces that marked for making the HST and now I'm down to nine.


 I have sewn some of the half square triangles. 


Waiting to be trimmed. 

And have completed trimming over 250 of the HST.
So looking forward to having all of these HST completed so I can start assembling the center block and the borders. 672 HST it's quite a few.


 The center is almost done, just 2 leaves left to be appliqued and doing the stems.

I've been so busy trying to get this quilt top completed that I have put off my circles and my rainbow scrap challenge.

    Your applique blocks are beautiful, but I'm intrigued by your HSTs. I have never seen this method before and I can't figure out how you're doing it from the pictures. Is there a tutorial somewhere for making HSTs this way?

    Rebecca check out the right hand side bar for some more great ways to make them listed under Half Squate Triangles. Thanks for a lovely visit Kathleen. I also stopped in and visited some back issues so much to learn in your blog Kathleen thanks so much for sharing. Cheers Glenda

    Your quilt is looking gorgeous, although that is a lot of HS triangles to get through!

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
