A Lot of Scrappiness

Today I spent most of it away from the house. At Sager Creek was the monthly Block Buster class. 

Image result for corner beam tool

For this months block we used Corner Beam trimmer from 180 Designs.



Small block, finishes 6" 
After we make them we donate the block for 
Quilts of Honor.
And now that we know how to use this tool, the idea is to make yourself one.  I haven't yet, justs the ones in class.


Then I had to run to the feed store and Walmart.
Why does it take so long there. I had a list, I know the layout of the store. You think that would help speed it up some.

I was wanting to finish putting on the last border of the 
Blue Arrow 



It would be nice to get a picture without a cat running to get on the top as soon as I lay it out.
I have 2 sides left but it's late and I'll do it tomorrow.



This morning, I was planning on what to do next so I put up on the design wall another RSC from 2015. Needs a few more blocks and that shouldn't take too long seeing how they are a very easy and quick to make.

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        ...

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 c...
