What's Up 4.17.17

First thing I want to say is Thank You for your advise on how to correct my tension on the longarm. I had already went ahead and finished quilting this baby quilt before I read everyone's suggestions so I'm going try them tomorrow.




I do not like how it looks but I tell myself we all have to start somewhere and only practice will help me improve.  



The binding on so went ahead and washed the little quilt. Was hoping that somehow the wash would make it look better but that didn't happen as you can see.



It will be just fine and useful.

Up on the wall this morning was the Blue Stash Buster Arrow. 



After I was done with the baby quilt and some housework, went to work on putting the blocks and rows together.



Have that part done and the border pieces ready to be sewn on and will get to that tomorrow.







This evening when I went to lock up the chickens, looked out into the pasture and could see the ground fog developing and figure I would try to capture it.
Not as pretty as it was when I first seen it. By the time I went back to get the camera the light was getting poor.
Still think it's a cool shot with the silhouette of cattle in the foreground.

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        ...

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,...
