What's Up 1-14-19

First what's up for the year...

And whats up on the wall is the Snowman quilt I thought I lost.
For over 3 years I did not know where this quilt was and I looked everywhere. At least I thought so until one day I was out in the garage rummaging for something and at the bottom of a box with old kitchen stuff there it was.

Had it quilted a few months ago and had plans to get the binding on in time for Christmas but that never did happen.


Decided to go with a solid indigo, something I have a lots of.


Only took a half of yard thou, I make 2 1/4" strips for my binding.
I like binding more on the thinner side.


Got a start on it this evening after dinner, which by the way was pretty good. Tried out a new recipe I saw on a YouTube channel.

It's called Pizza Casserole


It's a low carb friendly and very tasty plus "the Man of the Place" liked it also, which is good. Some of the recipes I try out he doesn't care for.

You can find the recipe here
I added mushrooms, onions, bell peppers and olives making it a supreme pizza. Had this with a green salad.

Never did show you this pretty neat display for a Tillandsia in a small glass terrarium.




So pretty with the mini lights inside

Here is what it looks like with a flash shot.


My daughter Crystal and I purchase each one at a Lowe's in Stillwater. A little tricky to water, normally I soak mine in water for about 30 minutes every week or two. This one I've been giving it a heavy sousing.
So far its been working. We bought these right after Thanksgiving, about 8 weeks ago.

I'll leave you with a picture of one of the cows we have in the maternity ward (pasture)


Sassy thing, sticking her tongue out.
She's getting rather wide....soon a calf

    What a great post! A happy find of a pretty quilt...funny how things get stowed away in strange places sometimes. That recipe is one my Hubby would love. Hope your cow is doing well.

    Your snowman quilt is adorable, and that pizza looks delicious! Unfortunately, the cow looks miserable to me! Hope she has made her delivery safely. ---"Love"

      It is a cute pattern and the pizza casserole was very good. I’m thinking she still has a couple weeks to go. There’s another cow that looks closer

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
