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        ...

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 c...
