Slow and Steady Sunday



It has been a lazy day for me.
Woke up to a nice cool morning and had a cup of coffee with the man of the place on the back porch. After that I came in the house and watch some of what was going on in Florida. Just frightening...

Read some ..... had a nap.... did get a little sewing.



Prep some more sashing for the Vintage Garden and did stitch one today. Figure  when I get the top row sashing stitch I'll go ahead and assemble. 


Been quilting each morning this week while watch the morning news. It isn't much, maybe an hour but it will add up. 



I can get one of these done in an hour.





Have 14 more besides the background spaces.
Then of course the last, border.



This quilt has been one of those off and on ones for so many years and I want it to be finished. Just don't want it to be many more years before it is. 

It was also a good day to make yogurt which takes all day to incubate. If you hadn't had homemade yogurt, you are missing out.
I am lactose intolerant and did not know it till about 2 years ago. Here I thought I just had stomach issues of some sort all my life, which I did ..... lactose. I did not connect the two.
But yogurt doesn't bother me... what a blessing

    have never made it - a special kind of machine you have there to make it? lactose bothers me too but never a problem with yogurt and I drink almond milk and get almond milk ice cream - cheese I need to limit to small portions.

    That star quilt is SO beautiful, and your hand quilting is exquisite! This will be an heirloom for sure.

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,...
