Sunday Bliss





I have been today for some unknown irrational reason working on prepping an applique block.
Why I'm doing this really make no since because Thursday I will surgery done on both wrists for carpal tunnel. Since both are in need but the right hand is the worst, my surgeon explain doing both at the same time is the best way to go. Healing will be better in the long run. Will see
Anyway that being said, it's silly really to be doing this instead finishing something else.



All I can say is I wanted to.



It is a Blackbird Design, Warm Hearts I started years ago and put aside. Came across it while looking for fabric the other day.

Couldn't get it out of my thoughts.



Have 2 of the 9 blocks already done






Since the pattern was already made and ready to use I went ahead with the method I prep.






 Using freezer paper and starch.

Now after this week I'm not sure how long it will be before I get back to stitching on it.
Maybe I can have it done, just depends on if my hands get to hurting,
That could the reason for why I stopped working on this before, don't remember exactly.

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
