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.

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        ...

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...
