A Finish

I love it when I can say that, a finish..... well the top at least.


Yesterday was able to assembled all the sections to the Seven Sisters, then came the tricky part. I do not have a pattern, so it's one of those figure as you go job.



First thought was the corner pieces would be 60 degree angle but no. 120 is what it was.



Attached those and I believe I will leave it at that, no borders. 
A colorful binding will give it the look.
This is going to be a crib size 62" x 46"

Seeing how that was something I did not have on my list, I am so ready to get back to my list.



Decided to do White Birches wall hanging.  I think it will be a nice Christmas addition.
This quilt I had seen on many occasions at shows, magazines and over at Barbara's blog Cat Patches .
In fact she helped me with the pattern.
I thought it was only a couple years ago but come to find out it was 4 years ago. I've been wanting to make this 4 years now. Finally getting round to it.



Yesterday I was able to get the top row completed and today the other 2 rows.



Decided to go ahead and applique the Red Birds before I sew the rows together.  
Thought about using fabric for the birds and that is what the pattern called for but I decided to go with flannel and wool.



Like the idea of some depth and texture to the birds and the wool and flannel will do that.

    I like the wool and flannel - I am mixing the two in a small winter wall hanging and have thought that I might do that in a larger applique project sometime.

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        ...

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,...
