What's up 5-21-19

I had meant to get this posted last night but unfortunately we had a bout of severe  weather, in fact a tornado touched down a couple miles from us. Really do not like these storms at night. Can't see it coming.



We're good just some downed limbs and trees. Of course the water gaps are gone and needing repair (again).

Now it's on to more calming stuff.

What I'll start with is this week "one thing with Amy" 


I had woven this a couple months ago and the plan was this was going to be a wrap. But when I was direct warping I came up short on yarn for the width I wanted. I still went ahead and made this.


So plan B is to use this fabric to cover these pillows. 

Then I wanted show what's up on the design wall.


On the right is what I started last year for my middle daughter. She asked if I would make quilts for her camper. She has two beds.



Such a cute pattern and so far I have only 2 tree blocks done, no where enough. I figure if I can, try hard to get a few of them done a week.  It's a start.



 Took me an hour to find what I did with the pattern and fabric set aside. Things are such a mess around here if you ask me.


 Also have up some units together that needs to be stitched.


 But that's just a few compared to whats left.   

 Then I started this

 I just couldn't wait until I was finished making the afghan I been working on for the past few months. Love this Wildrose backpack by Stephanie Jessica Lau at All about Ami


I had purchased this yarn close to 8 years ago for another sweater that I never made.

100% cotton which is what the pattern calls for.

Wound it into balls, now I'm ready to start

Boy this ended up being a little bit of this and that.

 Till Later

    Sorry to read about the tornado, thankfully you are all safe. So many things to admire. Love the pattern you are using for the camper van quilts, they are adorable. The cotton yarn is such beautiful colours.

    Glad the worst of the storms missed you. It's been quite a week on the weather front. Love the camper themed quilt. Hope you've been able to get a few more bits and pieces of it up on the design wall.

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
