Boy it was hot

It is hard to believe it is February seeing how it was 85 outside and very windy on top of it. Did a little work outside but did spend some time sewing too.
That was before going out for an early Valentine dinner. Since it's on Tuesday we would not be able to go out that night. Excellent steak.



I was going to start on this month's RSC but realize I had already started one last year and decided I would finish it off this month. I'll make backs for these and quilt them.





So then I decided I would work on something for my youngest daughter. Had plans of making this for Christmas.



Had bought this kits... gosh.. some years ago.



Not a difficult project. Cut up the panel and add in some color fabric filler with a few flying geese and square in a square.



In six hours I was able to get main section pieced and now the border is ready to attach.



My daughter loves cats and bright colors so this will be perfect for her.


It will be a lap size quilt.

    LOVE the "shades of the sea" in each of your projects!! It looks like you were channeling Cynthia over at Quilting is more fun than Housework on that last quilt, as she's been making quilts with Orphan Blocks which turn out very much like your daughter's quilt. You certainly made quick work of that one!!

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        ...

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 c...

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.
