Scrappy Time


Well this morning we woke up to a light snow on the ground and temp of 26. 


And never got above 45....
Loved it but I figure this is the last till next winter.


Perfect day for the excuse of staying in the sewing room and decided to start this months RSC.... which the color is YELLOW
This month I'm trying something new,
Wonky Log Cabin.

Got the ideal from Amy over at Diary of a Quilter.
She is doing charitable projects that we can help.
She calls it 


Here is a link for more info 




Started out going trough the tub and grabbing yellow scraps and then pressing some.


Following her directions , I separated the scraps by size and  and started sewing the centers.


Then like a traditional log cabin you start sewing strips around the center. 



Had to quit to start dinner, stew ... feels like stew weather... cold.

 Made a good start and it is going together very easily, refreshing not to be precise.

 Last month color was lime green and for last month I made 
this baby quilt

The picture show the border not sewn on yet but do now.
This I will add to the pile for machine quilting.
Pattern came from the book
Modern Plus Sign Quilts - C&T Publishing

 Tomorrow will be cool but not as cold as today so hopefully I'l get in some handwork too.
Linking up with super scrappy

    Love your Plus Quilt, all the different greens. Makes me think of Spring, even though you had snow. Looking forward to your log cabin blocks. You have great yellows.

      Why thank you Karen, we should from now on just get greener. Funny thing about the yellows, my mom had given me a trash bags of scraps and more of those yummy yellows came from her bag. I was lacking yellows in my tub.

    Isn't the weather crazy? We had some snow as well yesterday morning. I'm ready for spring to kick winter to the curb. The improve yellow blocks are looking good. Congrats on moving your green RSC project to the finished flimsy stage.

      Well that is what we get for weather in Oklahoma. Warmer spring weather is nice but unfortunately it brings severe weather, not one for tornados. Thank you for your comments, improv blocks are so much fun.

    I love making scrappy wonky logs! They are so versatile and a great use for scraps and are quick and easy to make and loads of fun. I've made several donation quilts using them. You look like you are off to a great start.

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          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

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 cott
