I Have up on the wall the Vintage Garden still and will be up there until I can get the border finish


Today I did not prep another side with the scallops but went ahead to work off of my things to do list.

I did make a little progress.

1. Finish the Lime Crosses

2. RSC - yellow-   Wonky Log Cabin Finished

3. Prep some of the outside border for the Vintage Garden
Have as you seen but will do more before I mark this one off the list.

4. Outside border for my Snowman quilt

5. Finish quilting Baby Blue Star   Finished

6. A Stash buster pattern that I can't show because it will be published this year. 
Been working on this one too




7.  Cut out some more Tumbler blocks to use as a leader and ender

8. Cut out Crystal's Clam shells

9. Kith & Kin

10. Binding on one of the many quilts that need it.
I'm half way done with this one


This was a RSC a couple years back and it has been in the closet for a while quilted and waiting for binding.
Wasn't sure what to do for the binding first thought was plain white and then thought multi color.


So far I have the binding attached on, now it's time to hand sewn it down. Not sure now about the multi color binding. Will see.


The other main thing I've been working on is quilting on my Blue Rocky Road

I'm down to the last side and have just 2 stars left and couple white space. So today I marked the last palaces needed.



I made my own stencil and works good even if it does look rough.


I thought I would show the size of these white spaces 10"

Well that's it 

Did have a Master Gardeners meeting this evening. We have lots going on and we all shared what we had been working on and admitted that I have done very little outside.
I do not have very much growing as far as flower beds go. Limited on plants that the deer won't eat. If you know of any plants I would love to hear what works for you.

    your multi color binding is perfect for that quilt surprised you left it set aside for several years without finishing it when all it needed was binding!

    Congrats on all the progress. Vintage Garden is very pretty. Those scalloped frames really help the different fabrics blend together.

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...
