Total Relaxed Day

I decided this morning that it was going to be a day of as little housework as possible, just the basic. Also no cooking....
total leftover and clean out the frig day.

It was a cold, blustery day. Sun came out but still didn't make much of a difference.
Stayed inside, lots of piecework, sitting around. Probably too much sitting around but it will warm up and it is going to be a busy week ahead.

On the list for today was to add grey around this diamond

Done 

 I also dug out the Vintage Garden top that is pretty close to done.


 First I put down on the floor to get an idea of how I was going to go about the border.

But the light is bad and really didn't think it would work. 
so I put it up on the design wall.



The outer border will be pieced cuts. This was a BOM from about 10 years ago so I'm working with what I believe it's suppose to be. I do not have a picture of the finish quilt just a photo copy of he pattern or able to get fabric that would match. Work with what I have


added the border fabrics and like how it looks.


Started adding the brown floral scalloped edges.


Done

now it's something I'll work on after I write this.

Then if I do get this finished this evening and want to do something more I think I'll work on the crochet scrappy blanket

So far I have 35" completed and it looks like I will use all the small scrap balls of yarn I have. In fact I might need to dig into some of other stash yarn.

    I love those hexagon diamonds--really pretty. That applique you've almost finished is gorgeous--and a scalloped border will be lovely hugs, Julierose

    Hope you had a wonderfully relaxing sew day. You've got lots of fun projects in the works and are doing a great job of getting some of those UFOs off your list.

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.

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        ...
