Feeling like Fall

This week has felt a lot like fall with the nice cool morning and days warm and breezy. Love this time of year, hard to stay inside but I have had to. My mom is still in the hospital and have been spending time visiting.



I take along piecework with me. Took the Mosaic Diamond (aka Mom's Quilt) this week and have 2 more completed which now brings the total up to 13. Just a start tho, heaven knows it will take a lot of these diamonds to make a bed size quilt. Decided that it will be the size from what the fabric I have make.






Also this week I have been working on getting the hexagon circle appliqued down for the center of the Dreamy Hexagon. Have 5 of the circles done and just 2 left. Then it's on to the next step.    

Been thinking about the Retro Air-Ship Propeller and knew I wanted to do something else.



Thinking about a thin strip of black and then a print border.

It just that I haven't decided which one to use and hope you will let me know which one you think.



Have a pink



a turquoise print



and a lighter turquoise and pink print.

Which one....????

    I'm a new reader to your lovely blog. I like the black border with light turquoise. Also wondered about using turquoise for narrow border and then light turquoise??

    I really like the turquoise print. But any of the three will make a beautiful quilt.

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,...
