Pillowcases Done

It was a perfect day for sewing, temps were cold



fire was burning, making the house toasty.

And me in my comfy clothes....

So this morning while having my coffee and watching Morning Joe, I quilted a little more on Scandinavian Christmas




I am such a slow quilter, thank goodness my livelihood doesn't depend on it.


I think I might take Chookyblue's advice, go ahead and hang it up even if it's incomplete.



After a few chores and as little as possible cleaning I went on to finish the Rudolph and Santa pillow cases.



 Next step is to get them off in the mail to the grandsons. Seeing how yesterday I mailed off the first set, not a great rush, Friday should be okay.

Did finish the binding last night on the Vintage Christmas and went ahead hung it up in the living room



So cute and makes me feel the need to get the decorations down and put the house in the Christmas spirit,



Now days the holidays vary from year to year. This year will be celebrated with family afterward. I rather have it before, more fun event happen before... none after.
No Polar Express this year.



DAY 6

    I need to get my house in the Christmas spirit as well - I am pokey but now that the painting is done I can start getting things out little by little over the next couple days and seeing as I don't put out a really large amount of things I can get it done - then to start some Christmas baking!

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
