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        ...

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.

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,...
