Friday Finish is Words to Live By

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!



It's finished finally.... My Words to Live By




Well almost I still need fill in the center block and put my name on.



Started this in 2014 and other than the quilting it is done.



Measures 86 x 86 and have no idea how many pieces, all I can say is a heck of a lot.
I think around 780 HST







Tried taking pictures outside, was able to capture a few but it was awfully windy.

  My happy dance

    Big Congratulations! What a gorgeous quilt. What a lot of detail and tons of care to create those beautiful appliques, not to mention the time to cut and stitch those half triangle squares. Very well done!

    Absolutely gorgeous! All those HSTs, you definitely deserve an award for perseverance. It's supposed to be in the 80s here today, hope you are able to get out and enjoy the day.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... 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. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

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        ...
