Time Flys

I can't believe that here it is the second half of August, where has the past 7 weeks gone.
I have had family visits and been helping my parents but still looking back at that, where did it go.
Haven't gone anywhere and I'm feeling like I need to get away.
Until then, life goes on.

Haven't done sewing on a regular bases. With that said I was able to get 3 tops finished and now ready to go to the quilter.

First is Scrappy One
( update; I had been in touch with the person who has the blog "I Just Love Quilts" . She had made this same pattern a few years ago and I asked if it was ok to put a link to her blog so so you could also see her version of this quilt.
here's the link   i just love quilts




This quilt ended up being large enough for my King size bed 
118 x 103

I just love it and it will so nice on the bed.
All 1" squares


SNOWMAN'S
Now this top I had thought I had lost it. I have looked for this quilt for at least 3 years it seems like.
Found it at the bottom of a tub I had out in the garage, and have no memory at all that this was put in that tub.


All I had to finish on this top was the outer blue border
Have no idea why it would be out there and unfinished.
I so thought I had it finished.








The snowmen are so cute and I enjoyed making this.


And this top is all I can show for now until the pattern is publish in a national magazine.
I show this and the pattern when it's published.
Now for what I would like to do next?

This quilt here. 
My middle daughter wants me to make 2 for their camper.
Cute pattern and will be fairly easy to make.
Looking forward to starting. I've gathered some fabric and need to find some more and then I ready.

    I've heard it said that time flies when you are having fun. Maybe you've been having a lot of fun, even if you haven't been quilting very much. That will come when you are ready. ---"Love"

    I must have failed to scroll down before posting a comment earlier because I didn't see your quilts the first time I saw your post. I almost went into shock when I saw the first quilt with all those l" squares. In case you don't know it, I made that same quilt with 2" squares and not as large. I quilted it myself on my Janome 8900 and finished it in August, 2016. I had seen a picture online in a quilt store, and couldn't find anyone who knew about a pattern for it. So I just counted squares and calculated until I got mine done all by myself. Wish I had known there was a pattern. Mine really is much simpler than yours, but I love them both. You did a fantastic job on a quilt that is quite a challenge! ---"Love"

      Thank you. That snowman quilt is one of my favorites. Marilyn McSpadin is such a talented designer who has done so few but the ones she has are wonderful. She design the Sunflower quilt and the Gingerbread men I did

    The snowmen quilt is stunning, I love it. Time is certainly flying by, like you I am wondering where the past few months have gone?

    I'm curious, have you counted the pieces in Scrappy One? Or are you like me and get tired of counting? Very pretty by the way. Denise@fortheloveofgeese.com

    Sounds like life has been very busy. Love all three of your finished tops. The first one is amazing, 1" squares? Hope life slows down a bit as autumn settles in.

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
