Mid Week Progress

Just a quick update on the WIP I'm working on

The Blue windmill blocks I had cut out are finished 



When I started this top last year I just cut out squares without counting them and it needs 9 more blocks to make a twin, so I found the fabric I used and now need to get some squares cut.


Also have made some progress on the Wildrose Backpack


This is the base/middle of the backpack


Like I mentioned last time I'm using extra colors and so far it looks fine. Looking forward to see what it will look like when completed.

The stitching on the project bag is done and now it's time to figure which fabric I like for the drawstring casing and maybe the lining.


Had these 3 picked out and decided on this one.


The base of the bag I decided it to be  crocheted.


I'm using 2 mm macrame cord and so far I like the weight and hope it works out like I planned.


Then the last is something I just started and it is warping for another rag rug to match the one I finished last week.


Not sure how much I'll get done tomorrow seeing how it's time for my annual mammogram. FUN FUN.
Plus need to go by Costco too

    You are a soul make and fellow blue lover. It is a very simple pattern to put together. All free cut no pattern other than starting with an 8" square.

    That back pack is a delight, I am tempted to try and crochet one myself.

    I took weaving at college, but not being so savvy with math, had trouble on the test. I love weaving but would not want to be the one to figure out how much length was needed for the strings... warp? that had to go on before weaving could begin. I envy anyone (just about every one but me) who can do the math, and have the space for a loom, and the $ to get one! ENJOY!

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        ...

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 c...
