What's Up 2.20.17





The wall started out this morning looking like this
and ended up looking like that.



Finished the back for the baby top using the scraps leftover from the top. Tried my best to make it look ok. I don't do pieced back often...

next will be to get batting and sandwich it.



Before I did that I had started on pressing, trimming and organizing this tub of scraps.



I'm going to start a string quilt and had some strings already but while doing the scraps I was able to add some more.



 I think I have a good amount now.



I like this pattern I found in a Fons and Porter magazine. 

Fons and Porter and Quiltmania are the only magazines I get and I can find something I want to make in each issue.

Out of curiosity, what if any magazines you like?

    I have a subscription that my daughter buys me for a crochet magazine. I pick up the occasional quilt magazine to look at the beautiful pictures, sadly I am not competent enough to attempt most of them.

    I subscribed to quilt magazines for several years, but no longer do so. There are so many projects in those quilts that I would like to make. There is no sense is subscribing to magazines just to want to make more projects.

    Very pretty baby quilt. That scrappy pattern is going to be fun and bust a lot of scraps. There to be so much same oh same in many of the quilting magazines, so I'm starting to let my subscriptions lapse. My favorite magazine these days is Artful Blogging. I love the photography in it.

    Your baby quilt is precious! I absolutely love pieced backings - to me they're like a 2 for 1! I'm not really into magazines, but Quilts and More is a real favorite of mine. BTW, I'm visiting you from Love, Laugh, Quilt! Thank you for sharing!

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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. I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. 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,...
