WIP

It's hump day

I have so many WIP's right now there's not enough time in the day to work on them. I really need to get busy.

Which I'm trying.

Here is a WIP I started 3 years ago





This is the first diamond I've worked on this year.
I had a bag of the hexies with some fabric that I needed to be able to work more on this quilt.


And for the life of me I could not find it anywhere, I thought I could of lost it last October when I took Mom and Dad to California.





I keep all the stuff for this quilt in this small suitcase I found at a flea market and it wasn't in there. 



But I found the bag this past weekend. It was in the truck we use sometime when go somewhere. You see the "Man of the place" thinks my Subaru is just to small, "made for hobbits"
Well in the glove compartment was my bag of hexies.  



Now it's back in the suitcase.



This afternoon I worked on one of the granddaughters quilts my step-mother started.
I'm hoping to get this one done tomorrow. Then I'll have 2 more to go.




The other WIP I'm pretty much done with is the shawl I crochet from a pattern in PomPom



So it's wash and being blocked
Boy is it a long one, 78" long and about 24" wide
So pretty and light. 



That enough if you ask me but it unfortunately its not all.

I'm tired now

Until next time

    I love that hexagon pattern you are making--the colors are so soft and pretty..they are long-term aren't they? But a great take-along project...~ ~ ~ waving to you from our hot and humid area Julierose

    Your quilts are beautiful. I keep thinking that someday I'll make a hexie quilt, but then I see how much work they are and remind myself why I haven't started one. Yours is looking wonderful.

    The hexies are looking good. Glad you found your in progress bag. The shawl is gorgeous. At least that's one finish, so something came off your to do list. Have a great weekend.

    I am glad you found your hexies! The flea market bag is so cute and perfect for them!

    You crochet, knit, sew clothing, quilt, and embroider - you are super girl. I hope these things keep you from going stir crazy with Covid! I think winter will be harder.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1.

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        ...
