Day 16

I did it again, missed a day on the 




I have done better than I thought I would, especially since my blog has been neglected last month. 

Well yesterday I tended to a few things around here and then I needed to finish next month BOM for the 30's club



After it was done drove over to Siloam Springs to drop these off at the quilt shop. We visited for a while and I was given a pattern for the next stash buster. Stash Busters meet ever other month at the shop and I had to miss the meeting because I'm at the Master Gardening class on that day so Pam gave me the pattern.
It is a free pattern by Windham Fabric called
"All Wrapped Up"

Cute pattern and I have a good stash of Christmas fabric and really would like to make this. Just not sure if I can make the time.
There are a few items I want to make as gifts and they will need to come first.

There is a gift I finished last night and that is a crochet scarf using one of the Bernat Pop







Turned out nice and feels nice too. This will make a nice gift.


Today I have another finish but it is not a gift for this Christmas, not enough time to get it quilted and bound.



But a finish all together. My Retro Air-Ship Propeller, one that I've been wanting to complete for a while now.
This quilt has ended up being 67 x 67
And the youngest daughter already claimed it before her other sisters had a chance to see it.

Here is a funny update, remember the seeds I started  and thought the seeds were old because they were not sprouting as they should



Seeing how I thought they were mung beans....
WRONG

I guess I do not know how to read the package because on the label is marked Green Peas.
Now that I look at the picture they sure do look like sprouted peas.
a DUH moment.
I threw them away thinking they were no good...they were...need to get some mung beans it seems.

  1. isn't it funny to see how fast some quilts get grabbed up and someone saying "it's mine" before you are even done with it.

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,...
