Some Sewing Time


Other than cleaning and yard work
I finally was able to get in some sewing time this week and worked on the Retro Air-Ship Propeller blocks.



Have 42 blocks completed, well sort of completed, I'm appliqueing the center circles on now.



Have enough blocks to set on point like the pattern Steampunk by Jen Kingwell.



These are just part of the 42, didn't feel like putting them all up on the wall. Being lazy
 


Or plenty of blocks to do straight rows and add a border.



Like in this book of 1930's quilts.

Haven't decided which one,
can you help me decided.

I would greatly appreciate another opinion.

    Love the soothing colour palette of the blocks, I prefer straight rows as in the 1930's book.

    I really like the on point setting. But both versions look great, you can't go wrong no matter which on you pick.

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,...
