Summer retreat

At the beginning of this month, August, there was the annual Roaring River retreat. It's held at the Roaring River Park near Cassville, Missouri in the lodge that is located there at the park. A beautiful, wonderful place that I love going to. It's been going on for seven years which I have been able to attend the last three.
It's such a great group of ladies and we have so much fun for four days. 

I took this year one project and that was it I spy quilt. 

I had over 250 circle to complete so I could put the tops together. So that was my task was to fussy cut these circles. And preparing them for the squares. I wish I could say after four days I got all 250  circles completed but I did not. 


Did make a good amount of progress so when I got home that week I started finishing them.
Enough of mine for now I want to also show pictures of what was going on around me by the other ladies so enjoy

















If you see one you really like or have a question just put it down in the comments and I'll get back to you with more information. This post is just going to be basically pictures with very little words or explanations but I'm more than willing to share and elaborate more if you wish.

    Looks like a fun group of ladies. Lots of beautiful projects too. I really like that kimono project. I've got the pattern, it's on my to do list to use up some of my oriental prints.

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...

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.
