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          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
