Slow Sunday 3.26.17

I'm going to do a little catch-up on this post since I haven't written since Monday. 


I was able to finish machine quilting and putting binding on 2 baby quilts. These for RSC quilts that I had started a couple years ago. Nothing like UFO's. Does feel good to finally get them completed.
Now they are ready for a new home. 


This one had leftover blocks from a quilt I made my oldest daughter


Quilting was done with my walking foot and did it all in the ditch. 
Did the same with the next one.



 Also used a sheet from Walmart for the backing and binding. And still have enough leftover to back at least another small quilt.






I also put the binding on two large quilt that I have had finished and waiting for their turn. 




That is what I'm going to stitch on this evening while watching TV with "the man of the place".
I had also finish putting the top together that I had posted about Monday that with up on the design wall. That is a Red Letter Day pattern called Thimble Blossoms.



 It was also a RSC quilt from 2015. 



I tried to take these pictures of the  finish top outside but unfortunately it was pretty windy and I wasn't able to get a nice shot because of that.

In fact we are supposed to get some bad weather here in a little while and I can hear thunder now. Usually when that happens I need to disconnect my Internet so I don't lose my modem or my router. So I'm going to make this post short so I can edit and get pictures on it 

Until tomorrow
Linking up with Kathy

    Lots of beautiful finishes pending in your sewing room. Thimble Blossoms turned out beautifully. Hopefully you didn't get any of the nasty stuff that was going around on Sunday or last night. We got lots of rain, but not much else thankfully.

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
