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.

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.

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          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

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 cott
