New Project

I know...
I need a new project like I need a hole in my head, as the saying goes.

But I couldn't resist.
I had been seeing photos on Instagram and blogs from the Netherlands and surrounding countries. I was so drawn to it...No control.

It's a Mystery Hexagon quilt called Winterse Hexjes from Anne Liefs who has a quiltshop in the Netherlands.

She started the mystery at the beginning of this year but you can still sign up like I did a couple weeks ago



This was week 1 and 2


 Week 3 and 4 

Now I'm starting on week 5 



I'm using 1" hexagons and it is so far moving right along but I figure as it gets bigger it will take a little longer

 Speaking of slowly moving along....

 It's the second crochet scrap yarn blanket.

The one furthest is the completed first blanket and as you can see the second one is getting closer. Have about 24" left to go and I will so glad when it's done. I can say that I should have all the balls used up.

 Thank you for taking a minute to visit...
Take care

    Beautiful hexagons--such lovely colors and patterns...
    And I love your scrap crochet--i have tons of yarn leftovers and now that i can no longer knit because of my dang left hand thumb problem, I am thinking that just maybe I could crochet... is there a pattern for this? hugs, Julierose

    Very beautiful hexies! It looks like a very fun pattern. Congrats on having the second scrappy yarn throw almost finished.

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...
