Halloween in the works


 I said I would show more of the items I have up for fall/Halloween.

I’ll be honest that this wall hanging is not quite finished. I had purchased this for a class on learning how to quilt on my domestic sewing machine. 


Now I’m not sure if any of you are familiar with this panel but it’s called Pumpkin Boy by Thimbleberry, that was part of a collection of reproduce magazine covers from the 1920’ and 30’s. 
I know that it was available in 2007 but I’m not sure if it was then or 2008 that the class was offered. 


I have the center part done and still need to the finish up all the outer squares. Originally it was to be worked up to a lap size quilt but I’m just leaving it panel size 36 x 44

I have a spot picked out in the entryway.

I’ve also been working on the table runners 


I am so ready to be done with this and I’m far from it. I don’t know what the problem is but it has been a pain in the $&#. 
It seems to be taking me forever to finish. 


 Isn’t this the cutest print. Great for the outer boarder.  
I am so tempted to go for a solid strip instead of the pieced one in the pattern.

Would speed it up some...... so I can get to what I rather be working on.

My hope and goal is to start by Friday. We’ll see 🤞🏻

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
