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!

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.

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        ...
