Yay it’s done

 



So glad I’m done putting these together. Can’t say I’ve enjoyed working on this project and still need to quilt and bind but really didn’t feel like doing that this afternoon.  Had enough for now, especially after I realized the mistake made and didn’t see it till after one was all completed.  Maybe you can spot it, they was no way I was going to rip out the block and move it.  Maybe my daughter won’t notice  


Going to use the fabric that was used for the bow ties, for the backing  



Have another finish.  Started this pair a few months ago, these were July’s free sock pattern. Which you can find on the blog Caisbod.



Very cute socks but I will not make again
Used Red Heart sock yarn I had in my stash. 

The reason why I didn’t get to quilting the table runners was I just couldn’t stand my dirty windows 


Now my window in the dining room is where a lot of my plants are. And it is quite the chore, have to move them.


As you can see needed to find a place to put them and the kitchen counter worked out for some. 





After close to an hour later they are all back in front of the window. Then I just went further down the rabbit hole and mop the floors. 

I did do some quilting but not the runners like I said. I worked on the Dancing Kitty. 



Hadn’t worked on this lately and decided since I’m almost finished... just get it done. Wish I could say it is but don’t have much more to do. I use a cardboard template to mark the border with water soluble pen  

Also this afternoon while checking the plants outside I noticed all kinds of black pellets around the tomato plants. 




Well you know what that can mean......HORNWORMS 


It’s huge, bigger than my pinky.
Gave it to my only chicken 

This evening again avoiding the elephant in the room...
Just had to start on the pumpkin quilt. 



So separate out the charm pack and jelly roll, didn’t need the cream colored fabric.  Using solid moda snow for the background.  The pattern called for 10” squares but the charms and strips will work


Did get one block cut out, it is a start. 

Did promise to show more of the decorations around the house and this is the arrangement on the dining room table. Have had this arrangement for a couple years now.  




And have to say Bob so far has left the cotton balls alone





Till next time

  1. Wow, you have been busy. That was quite the task cleaning the windows having to move all those plants. Love the socks they look so warm and comfortable.

  2. What a huge job to move all those plants...that is a great plant window spot.
    The runner looks great--I cannot see any errors myself. Funny how some projects just are not pleasant to work on...
    Dancing Kitty looks so cute...;)))

  3. I enjoyed playing the game of “hidden pictures,” although after all that searching I couldn’t find the mistake. I love all your projects. What a lucky chicken!

  5. I couldn't find your mistake! Who cares really in the end when it is quilted and on a table. It is very cute so I'm sure daughter will love it. Meanwhile, I do some housework in fits and starts, like window cleaning too. I especially liked your knitting, neat pattern. I have wool, I have needles; I really should be knitting too. Cute Bob.

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
