Busy Hexagon Day

It is a gorgeous day here in NE Oklahoma, temps in the low 80's and humidity is only 44%...... perfect

Done a little yard work and enjoyed walking today. It was so humid earlier this month which I just do not care for and don't tolerate very well, which means I did less walking earlier this month.


Was able to finish the hexagon circles to the Dreamy Hexagon last night.



Now have all seven pinned in place to be applique and went together better than I thought.





 There are still a gap or two between the hexagons but I believe I will be able to fix it where they will line up together.



Have the thread picked and couldn't resist taking a picture...so pretty 



My daughter is still home and bored, so she decided since she doesn't sew she could cut and prep my hexes for the Mosaic Diamond  Quilt.



So far she has 13 ready with at least that many more together in groups.
I will be set for awhile once she's done.

 My test yesterday was clean and do not need to have another for 10 years.....YEAH!!!!!!

    Wow! How nice for her to prep pieces for you! I'd love that kind of help from a bored daughter. :) And boy, do I really, really love what you're doing with your Dreamy Hexagons project. That wavy stripe is so cool behind them!

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        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. 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,...
