Slow Sunday

My Sunday was far from slow, seems like lately my weekends are all about catching up on things around the house seeing how I am gone a lot during the week.

I have been working hard trying to finishing quilting on Blue Rocky Road




but need to put that aside again because I want to get the Scandinavian  Christmas wallhanging completed so I can display it this Christmas.



Pinned basted the sandwich.


Figure since I won't be handle this for too long that pinned basting will be good enough.


Haven't used this PVC hoop before and it's really not bad.
Working out so far



I'm doing a general outline of the large appliqued right now but will do snowflakes in the open spaces and then something around the cross stitch frame.



I will quilt on this like I had been, in the morning but also put in some time in the evening too.



Linking up with Kathy

    It can be a challenge playing catch up on weekends. We do the best we can. I have used a PVC frame with excellent results. Hope you can finish the wallhanging.

      Karen, the name is Scandinavian Christmas by Lynnette Anderson. This was a BOM at The Rabbit Lair many years ago and now that shop is closed. I know you can still get the pattern.

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          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott
