Darn It Day 8


I was so busy yesterday away from the house that by the time I made it back, I was so tired to write anything.
Spent the day at Mom and Dads then had a class that evening.
I've been taking our county's  Master Gardener program since last month. It is a 10 week course, which we are about half way through. Last night was on Annuals and Perennials, so love ever moment.

While at moms I had taken a couple of the corner blocks for the Retro Air-Ship Propeller to work on.



Have one more left to prep and I'll be one step closer to the finish.

This morning I was able to get an hour in quilting on Scandinavian Christmas and this is what was accomplished,
  


outlined the animals and a portion of this sections frame. This wall hanging has been a pleasure to work on for me.

 Yesterday I realized I needed to do more for my parents and making more meals for them is where I can step up.

 Found a couple of cookbooks to get me started. These here are based on the DASH diet. Gave a link here if your interested in knowing more about a low sodium/ heart health eating plan

This evening I made Chicken and Rice soup and a Pasta Chicken Salad. I'll take these to them tomorrow and talk to them about what they would like next.

Update on the mung beans, I believe they are on the old side. Here it is 3 day now and they are just now starting to sprout out. Will need to pick up some new ones the next time I go to Tulsa.

    I noticed the 2 pages book marking your new cookbooks with the heading heart failure recipe of the month and was wondering where you got them. My DH has a bad heart with heart failure going on 13 + years. He’s currently in the transplant list so something like these could be helpful.

    Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
