Peaceful Sunday

It has been another one of those weeks.
Had family from out of state come to visit with my parents and which I was over at their house everyday and then Doctor visits Friday. 
My DS and I went to Pawhaska to Ree Drummond's Mercantile store and we were also able to go to the Lodge where they film her cooking show on the food Network
I wish I would of took more pictures but there was quite the crowd.



Love this huge fireplace.
FYI; every bedroom has its own full bathroom and there was 5(?) bedrooms
Yesterday needed to go by my parents house and deliver dinner for them. Tried out a new recipes they had printed out at the clinic that was low in sodium. 
Was pretty tasty.

I haven't been able to do any sewing but had started a new embroidery project 


 Halloween Journey by Crabapple Hill

I started this 2 weeks ago.

I'm using a printable sticky transfer that is water solvable by Sulky



Took 4 sheets to get all of the design.



I can use it with and with out a hoop.
Started with the hoop but now I'm stitching without one


Love the fall colors of the threads.

So far this is what I have done


I'm guessing about a third done.

I'm using a back stitch, the pattern did not suggest which stitch to use.


Working out so far.
The leaves will be wool and appliqued on and do need to fill in the spiders still.

But I figure at the rate I've been going I hope to have it done a few weeks before Halloween

I'll plan to keep you posted.

I wanted to write this past week about it being National Indoor Plant Week.

I have a good collection of indoor plants and wanted to share photos but that just didn't happen. Maybe someday I can.

Till Next Time

    What a wonderful Halloween stitchery to enjoy at this time of year!
    I've never used Solvy for hand stitching ... let us know how you like it.

    I’ve been to “The Merc” a couple of times. Enjoyed it and the Restaurant. Awesome you were able to go to The Lodge! Your stitching is going to be beautiful!

    That stitchery is amazing. And thanks for the tip on the sticky printable transfer paper. I have a couple of quilts that have embroidery and was thinking that this winter I could transfer the design to fabric with a marking pen. This will be so much easier.

    Love the new embroidery project! Hope life slows down a bit and you can work in some more stitching time.

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        ...

I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing.

Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
