Slow, Slow Sunday

I had full intention to write this earlier but I took a nap and it just threw my day out of wack.

Being that it is late, late enough to see the Super Blood Wolf  Moon,
I'll make this short.

What I worked on was assembling the blocks to the Boho Ornament Afghan


 I'm finding it a little challenging trying to keep them straight and not twisted.




Made it through 2 rows so far..

Have a couple of other things to share

First is an announcement about the Gathering Place in Tulsa making the top  New Attraction in the US.  It is some park and to think it's free.
Took the grandsons there when they where here a couple weeks ago. My DIL took lots of pictures and posted them on her Instagram account.
Well the Gathering Place saw them and decided to use one of her photos to post with their announcement.
SEE  



And that is my Grandson Blake.

Very nice photo.

The other is we have are first new calf.


A pretty little girl.

    Yes she did a great job taking that photo. The playground structures were made in Germany and sent over. Children of all ages have structures to play on along with adults can join in if they want. I did. Very soundly built. I would tell everyone to check it out if passing through Tulsa area. Besides they have a boat house, restaurants and many walking paths.

      Thank you, I too thought the pattern was gorgeous. Pretty close in color choices to the pattern. Just happen that way, I used what was in my stash.
      I like Granny Squares too.

    Love the how the Boho blanket is coming together. It's going to be gorgeous. How fun that your grandson showed up in the announcement. We've not been to the Gathering Place yet, it's on the to do list for when it warms up a bit. I'm ready for it to not be cold!

    It is incredible to me how much it changes the look to have your boho ornaments sewn together. They were pretty as they were each separate. But sewn together... I literally gasped when I saw them.

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

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
