Splash of Color Done

Well the border is on.


It looks like I imagined. Like it




Ended up being 65" x 72"

Now that is more twin size

Outside my window I can see out in the pasture where there is a carcass of a feral pig. We left it there seeing how we have no cattle in that pasture and we know that there are Bald Eagles around.
I've been seeing up to 3, a mature eagle and 2 juveniles, But today the were 5 eagles. That's the most at one time.
There were 2 adults and 3 juveniles.

  
Sorry about the poor quality but it is about 200 yards from the house and taken with my IPad.

They are such big magnificent birds.
A true pleasure to watch and feel so lucky to be able to observe them. 

Really need to charge the digital camera, maybe could get a better shot.

    Congrats on a beautiful finish! The border works perfectly with that center. Have a great weekend with a lot of stitching. It looks like you will be getting lots of rain, so a perfect time to just hang in the sewing room.

    Wow, to be able to watch the eagles so closely must be wonderful, what an amazing experience.

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        ...

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. 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,...
