4th Quarter FAL

Today I remembered (for once) that this is the deadline to post any finishes over at She Can Quilt that I want/plan to complete by the end of the year. 
I have no problem finding incomplete projects around here, in fact after moving all the stuff out of the sewing room I found so many projects I forgot about.  I found boxes with everything ready to make. 
Couple years ago gather patterns and fabric to make Christmas gifts. Never did as you can tell, so it's some of my goals for this quarter. 
Along with theses I have a few quilts that need binding. 2 are Christmas quilts and the other 2 are gifts.
Here are the choices, 



This is a quilt I've seen online, at a quilt show and in a magazine and each time I did it was always the same thought, I want to make this quilt. So I gather the stuff and that is as far as I had gotten. I don't believe it's a difficult quilt to do. I love the backing fabric I found. This pattern reminds me of winters here and the cardinals.


This quilt was a kit that I purchased at least 5 years ago and found while moving. I think I'll make this for one of my daughters.



Then there are these Merry Christmas wall hangings

 Not sure about these two but hopefully I'll find time.



Now here are the stack off quilts needing binding.




First are the 2 Christmas Quilts
This quilt I bought as a top and had a group of quilters at the church quilt it.
It is in pretty good shape except a few brown spots. Hoping to be able to soak them out.




If I had to guest about age, my first guess would be the 1930's but could go all the way to the 60's


Then the sweet appliqued Gingerbread quilt.





These two will be gifts




I prefer single fabric backings, I like the way it looks when quilted. 
Perfect quilting for the modern look


There it is

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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.

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        ...
