Slow Sunday

Today started out dreary but ended up being really nice outside.
I too started out on the yucky side but ended up feeling good,


So did a little reading and finished the book I was reading 
10% Happier by Dan Harris and I enjoyed it very much. It wasn't what I thought it would be but good all the same. It was his personal journey to learning and using meditation. Not at all boring even though it was more of his life and not on how.



Did do a little machine sewing on the last month of the 1930's Farmers Wife.




And handwork on a Warm Hearts block.



So far my hand has not been bothering me much. Been able to get up to a couple hours in at times. 
Happy camper here...




  I was looking for an extra piece of fabric I know I had just recently and you would think that I could find it with no problem, seeing how my room on so clean. 



But no, apparently I must of put it in a good spot.



I need just 2 - 2" squares of the floral print. I'll look again tomorrow, it's around here somewhere.

Now while looking I came across a BOM I had purchased 17 years ago. Never did start it. At the time I thought it was cute but now I just do not want to make anymore. 



So I want to sell it.



At the time it was $10.00 a month.



But know I can not get what I payed for it and that's OK. 
Knowing that it will go to someone who will make it is worth the difference.



Each month has the fabric and directions.



So if anyone is interested, I was thinking 40.00. That would be all 12 months and postage.
There is no finishing kit just the months.
Here is my email if you are interested

  1. Quilting is not my thing - as you know! - but I am sure that someone will love this and make great use of it. Hope you find it a good home because the angels are very cute. Hope you find your missing fabrics too, so annoying when something goes wandering!

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
