Getting Closer to a Finish

I'm so glad it's Friday and can say that besides the kitchen floors being finished, now the carpet is also finished.  
Hopefully if all goes as planned, which nothing has yet, they said the hardwood will be finished by next Tuesday.
Then the tough part starts and that is going through all my stuff before putting it back in the house. Really need to purge some things, have way too much stuff.

Before I had to clear all out of the sewing room I worked on "Words To Live By" 



Completed the corner sets of HST and sewn them to the center block. 




Also was able to sew the appliqued blocks together.



Hadn't had time to get the light border strips on before they came this morning but at least I'm ready when I do get my room somewhat back together.



Haven't yet decided how I want to set up my sewing room and what I want to put back in it.... definitely not all I had in there.
The past week while emptying it out I been liking the open, less clutter room and my goal is to keep it like that. Which means a good portion will have to stay in the garage.

    Your quilt looks gorgeous. I hope your hardwoods go well. I think that it would take me quite a long time to pack up and go through all of my crafts with an eye for trimming down. Good luck with that.

    Words to Live By is gorgeous! All those small HSTs really make a statement. Hopefully you'll be able to start getting the house back together before next weekend.

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        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. 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,...
