What's Up 2-26-18

Just now as I was writing the title it's hard to believe it's 2018,  I realize that it is 2018 but I still feel sometimes like it shouldn't.
Oh well that's life.
Friday after I finished Splash of Color, needed to figure out whats next so went to the stack of UFOs
Decided on Dreamy Hexagon.


this is where I left off. Had the center finished and was going to start on the borders. First one easy peasy as you can see


 Next border is square in a square.


Well I couldn't start on these until Sunday. I spent Saturday morning helping the "Man of the Place" and then another couple of hours trying to find the "square 2" ruler. Couldn't find it anywhere so I ended up driving to Sager Creek and purchasing a new and bigger one. The one I have goes up to 6" square but the larger one will go up to a 12" block.

These are 4' finished blocks and needed 36 of them.



Cut and started chain piecing yesterday.


And today I was able to get them completed and next to sew them on.

Seeing how there was a time there I figured I would have to wait to get the ruler because Saturday it poured down rain half the day.

Figured then I could quilt on last month RSC.
Being a donation baby quilt, great one to practice on the machine quilting skills, which are very poor because I just don't do enough yet.


Sprayed basted the layers together


Have an hour in so far and really not much improvement but I'll plug along.
I really do enjoy the process.

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        ...

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. 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,...
