FAL Give In


Update; I missed the deadline. Thought it was another hour.
Oh well.

 I have been going back and forth on whether I want to say a list of projects that need to be completed and publicly commit to. I am so eager to make a list but as time goes on I get sidetracked somehow and never seem to finish my list. Maybe I'm just too hard on myself. I know that I would put way too much and it would be unrealistic to do. 

But the clock is ticking and with just a few hours to go for the deadline I've given in.
I do want to say in my defense is that I did do a couple from the last time, just didn't post about them. 

Let's go to the list now.

1. From the last years list it's putting the binding on these 2 quilts. They are trimmed and ready, just need to make attach the binding.





2. Finish the top of Words to Live By . Needs the last border and I expect that's all that will get completed because I will be taking it to Pam at Sager Creek to do her magic quilting but she has a waiting list and it might be a year before I get it back.



3. Take The Vintage Christmas into Cliff, Pam's husband to have him quilt this one. He will have back to me before time's up for FAL. And have it binded.



4. I'm going to machine quilt the White Birches myself.



Decided to keep the list short so maybe I get a "feel good"
feeling if completed, which I believe is doable.

    It's a good list and one that's definitely doable. Good luck with your plans for the quarter.

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,...
