What's Up 08.29.16

I don't know if anybody else feels this way but since I retired, I love Mondays. It's like the fresh start to a week. So on my What' Up day here I will finish putting on the binding for Ben's I spy quilt, 
Want to add this, when linking up at Beth's Cooking Up Quilts that she gave a link to a link on a YouTube video on How to put on bindings. A very good one by Sharon Schamber.
Here is the link


and start on month #14  Farmers Wife 1930s blocks. 



Then what I'll need to do is start cleaning out my sewing room for the carpet layers to come in. 
What I'll do is going to show you the before pictures of my messy, crowded but happy place.















 And then when all is done and said and have the room back the way I want it, I'll show you the after pictures. Haven't decided yet if I will post anything about the room in between, but chances are probably will, because it will probably take me a while. 
Need to do some brain dumping on what it is I want to have in the room when putting things back. As you can tell now there is just way too much crap in here. And  would like to have it of course more organized, but some more space, so can have another join me.

 Well it's time to link up with

    I think so many of us have sewing rooms that look exactly like yours, it must be a quilting disease of some sort!!! so thank you, I don't feel as bad because I have seen several in the past few days. there is another blogger I read that just got 36.5 ft of sewing machine space, Wow, it looked amazing!! good luck with the redo.

      I realize I'm not that special or have been vaccinated for that disease. I've been afflicted for years. I would love to see the one you speak of or other links. Need ideas.

    I thank you for being brave and showing a real working sewing/quilting/crafting room. I'd love to see your after and the steps between. It is so easy to end up with too much stuff
    I do have a question well perhaps more
    1. Where does your current stuff "stay" during carpet change and are you keeping everything you currently have?
    2. Do you have different lay out planed changing anything?
    3. What is the new flooring and how did you decide to have it? Carpet wood linoleum. tile or ?

    Thanks
    I am excited I hope you are too

    I'd hate the idea of moving everything. But it's good to remove and replace occasionally, it makes you organize.

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...
