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.

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. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1. I figure we need to refrain ourselves and keep it down to a couple episodes a night. Today I put a binding on another quilt from the pile. ...

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        ...
