It's Monday 6.12.17

I meant to write all weekend but here it is Monday.
Weekends sometimes just are not long enough.



Was able to get a little more done on the No Brainer quilt.
I named it that because it was suppose to be a mindless, just stitch squares together and call it good but my mind couldn't just rest. It evolve to this now.

Of course it is taking a little long to assemble.



I found this golden beige in my stash, tone wise goes well but in a way boring.
It will be a good gift quilt because of it's safe color palette.



Spent some of the weekend potted up the herbs.
Almost done with potting plants and cleaning up the porches.



Would of gotten more done but I just had to take time out and sit and enjoy the day.




I spent an evening working on the Hexagon Diamonds 
The 3/4" shapes came in the mail and I was excited to get back to it.

And spent last night crocheting.



I'm now adding the blue. It was the only dark blue available of that line at the store. It will be ok but have to say not really what I would make my first choice. 
I moving right along.

Image may contain: 2 people, people smiling, people standing and child I am getting so excited because in 2 weeks the "little dudes" will be here and we get to have them for 3 weeks.
Starting to get the house ready for them. Means the pool needs to be put up. Their room ready. Groceries bought and some new toys and games. 
Now that they are five some of the stuff we have they have outgrown. They like surprises. Who doesn't

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        ...

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,...
