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.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

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        ...
