Blog plus Vlog






We are half way through 2020 and personally I hope the second half is better than the first but right now in the United States and here in Oklahoma it's not.

I'm remaining to stay home, no eating out or any indoor crowds and wearing my mask every time I go out. 

The good thing about spending more time home I have to say is I've gotten my creative mojo back this past month. 

And also has given me time to think about how I can blog more and improve what I'm trying to share.

So I'm going to be adding videos here on the blog that I will also post on my new YouTube channel. I want to be able to show more of what goes on here whether it's a project I'm working on, the garden, cooking or just daily life. Knowing that writing is not my best asset, maybe videos will help.

It will be at the bottom, so if all works right just click on the video and it should play for you.

My channel is called Rose Prairie Farm
I dropped the quilts because I didn't want it to be consider just a channel on quilts, wanted it to reflect more, like here on the blog.

I have a lot to learn about how to take good videos, edit what I film and try to make it interesting.

I hope it works out and you all enjoy what I come up with and comment. I will need all the help I can get 😊

This first video will be mainly a introduction but I am adding in a little of what I'm currently working on.

I started hand quilting on a baby quilt I made years ago.






What is it with cats and quilts



Also using the yarn I used in this cowl I'm trying it on the loom.


One of my daughters didn't want a cowl but wanted me to make a pillow using this yarn


So in the video I show how it's weaving up. 
I'm liking how it is so far.


I'm using my small loom and will use what I'm weaving to make another cowl.  The first one was knitted.

I'm hoping it uses less yarn weaving than it did to knit one.



I will give an update on June  #freesock2020  link to pattern

    So lovely to meet you in the flesh so to speak, it was nice to pass some time with you and listen to your plans. Hope you enjoy and indeed achieve all that you have planned. I am in awe of your ability to knit socks but a pair a month is quite the challenge.

    Cats and quilts go together because both are warm and cuddly.

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...
