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.

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.

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        ...
