Packing and Planning

Well we are back to a quiet home, even thou the grandsons were here less than a week, it was nice to have all the noise and activity 2 five years old bring.
They flew home yesterday and I have spent part of yesterday and today putting up Christmas decorations. Pretty much done and I'm ready to get on with making plans for this month.

I have decide which projects I want to post for 2018 FAL Q1
I believe I'll just pick 3.


 Finish quilting on this, Scandinavian Christmas



 This is a RSC from 2016 and there is really not much left to do. The goal is to finish the top, have it quilted and bound




Lastly will be finishing up the baby blanket I started last year.
Next thing will be to find a baby for this.

I believe this is all doable.


 Mailed off the little red hats today, the deadline was the 15th and I believe they should make it.


 Feels good to have a something finished on time.

Tomorrow will be a day of Doctor appointment for Mom so I'll take along some handwork.

Today for my 15 mins I worked on prepping a block for Warm Winter quilt.

    I thought I'd seen most of Blackbird Designs large quilts but I've never seen the "Warm Hearts" one. It is really nice and the "Log Cabin" looking flower containers are very interesting and different. I found out that this book was published in 2001 (before I started quilting in earnest). I could find a used copy on Amazon for $170.00. You've got a very valuable book!

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
