This weeks finishes

I'm so excited to say I had finished my first woven rug.


Very pleased with how it turned out and the length is perfect for in front of the stove.



 Next is one to lay in front of the sink.

Also finished "one thing with Amy" for this week
It was to take this woven fabric and cover these two pillow I have in the car.

The fabric I wove was not wide enough to a be wrap I was wanting so after some thought, decided to use some it.


It was a lot easier than I thought. I was worried about the fabric unraveling.  But with a simple zig zag stitch, no problems.

 On the design wall I had these blocks that needed to be assembled
  
They are a very simple 4 patch block and was able to get these done and now I need to put together more to stitch.

What I have done so far.

 My last finish is something so totally different.

 It is a Boho wrap bracelet 

I had to purchase the leather cord and bead thread but the rest I had.

A pearl button and these pearl beads were leftover from something that one of my daughter's made.


 After watching a few YouTube videos I was able to do one.
This was deliberately my practice piece. 

I figure it was going to be a learning experience and there are a couple spots where the beads were sewn wrong as you can see.



But even with those small blemishes,
it turn out pretty and I'll wear it. 


 Plus these will great gifts.

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...
