Some Finishes

I hadn't posted any finishes yet so I have a few to get you up to speed here.

So this quilt here was the first "one thing" I had planned to do and that was to put the binding on.





Took me an extra week to get it done.

Now it need a good wash

Then this next one was week #3 of "one thing"



I had planned to make these a year and half ago but life happened.
But now I have bowl cozies of mine own and have been using them. So wonderful, no more burnt fingers

Then I did get the towels I woven hemmed.





This is my first set of dish towels and had so much enjoyment weaving them that I am going to do more. They will make great gifts.
They are larger than most that you can buy in the store. Really like the larger size.


Last is this weeks "one thing"

Garden Party block




It turned out so pretty and I love how the laced flowers turned out.
I do have another block prepped but I think I'll give myself a few days before I start.
Now I need to think about what I want to be the next "#onethingwithamy"

Till next time
Linking up with busy hands quilts

    My goodness, great finishes. Love the lace flower applique in the last block. I was so impressed with your weaving of your own tea towels, amazing.

    You are so talented! The quilt is just fabulous! The orange binding is perfect. I’d never heard of bowl cozies. And hand woven towels! It’s hard to find a good dish towel. I know anyone who receives one will truly appreciate it. And the appliqué block is just lovely.

    You've been busy! That scrap quilt drew me right in; it's gorgeous! Love how the alternating "x" blocks pull it all together. Congratulations on a terrific finish.

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
