What's Up 10/29/18


Again October has gone so quickly, my favorite month.
I wish it would last, oh say 6 months..... heaven.
The 2nd week was our anniversary and we took time away to celebrate, then last week was all of Mom follow up doctor visits (which she is doing good). This week has been a little bit of a breather with catching up on cleaning and projects.

One is the Scrappy Nine Patch that came back from the quilter. Now it's time for binding  



You can see from this photo that it was done in the Methodist Fan



Time to get out the big rulers and trim



Next just getting the binding sewn on,  think I'll use the background fabric.



Up on the design wall is a current project that our sewing group started at our last meeting


The pattern is Windmills from Cultural Fusion Quilts book

I'm doing mine as you can see all in blue fabric.
I have a love for blue and have tubs of blue and really needed to get to using and not just collect.


This is a easy, no thinking pattern. Love it.
This is what I was able to get done in just a couple of hours at our meeting. 




This will be perfect project that I can pick up at anytime without thought. Especially since I have been so sporadic at getting time in to sew these past couple months.


Till next time

    Love the quilt you are about to bind. I am amazed at the speed that you put your blocks together, such a wonderful collection of blue fabric.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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
