What's Up 3-19-18

I haven't shown what is up on the design wall in a while.

Wouldn't of been able to last week because I was redoing it. Before I just had some flannel stapled to the wall



I took this picture a while back, before the rearranging of the room

Anyhow I used the flannel again, after a good washing and had to get some more to cover the new way. 
Which was so much whiter
Purchased some foam broads, 4' x 8' sheets which I cut in half. It was easier to handle plus it was the only way I could get it home in the car.


Now it covers a whole 8 ft by 8ft
Floor to ceiling. Having 4 sections that are 4 x 4 Had to cut out openings for the light switch and one outlet.


Not the best of jobs but it works and it should be covered most of the time anyway. So nice to have so much space to use now. And will not have to use tape if the quilt is bigger than the flannel was.



 Have up the Dreamy Hexagons


working on another one it's borders, 16 patches

The other part of the wall has the blocks finished and in the process of making using 2 1/2" strips. Remember I'm trying to find patterns using 2 1/2" strips seeing how I have so many.


 It takes 9 blocks and have 2 completed, 3 cut out, with needing 4 more to decide on color arrangements


This one is ready to sew.

    don't you just love the big design wall - I'm so glad I have a wall like that too it just gives you so much room to be able to stand back and look at your work and see how it is going

    I think your room is better set up to stand back and look. Mine is 8x 12 and can stand back only 6 ft to see. But it is nice

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        ...

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...
