Getting Done

I was able to have a day home without needing to go anywhere, unless you count riding my bike. It got warm today....I even worked up a sweat. It did get up to 80 and here they say that it will be in the 40 degrees cooler this weekend. I put off planting much because of this screwy weather.

This morning I was able to finish what was in the hoop and move the hoop over to the next star.


After cleaning a little and the ride I was ready to get a little sewing in but when I did I realize I left the room a mess from all that cutting of scraps for the Wonky Log Cabin


Instead of just throwing it all back in the tub I decided to take care of it now



After 2 hours I had some more Tumbler blocks cut and the rest cut into squares and strings. Felt good

Took a break and did laundry, vacuum and such.

When I went back to it I decided I would do some machine quilting on the Blue Baby quilt.


Almost done.


Also gather up the Vintage Garden top and remaining fabric to start prepping the outer border. Sometime it take a few to find what I do with past projects. I do have way too many  UFO's and PHD's

Seems like I was able to get a lot done but it does when you are almost done when you start.

Tomorrow is Mammogram day.
It's been a year and half since the last and do not expect any issues, but I believe in preventive care and this is just part of it.

Till later

    It was 79 here and yes a lot cooler this weekend once again - I keep putting off planting also - maybe this weekend will be the last? I can just see it we will all think finally we can plant and we will have a frost in May which I don't really think has ever happened - but this year - who can tell!

    We had the first spring thunderstorm this afternoon, it's still nice out now. But it's going to get cold again. I'm ready from some consistent warm days. Congrats on all the progress in the sewing room. You've been moving several projects along.

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...
