A little weaving

 Yay tomorrow is Friday. I have to say this week went by fast. I guess it’s because I’m gone and busy every day which makes the time go by quicker. Strange, I wouldn’t think that way but for me it has. Anyway I was able to finish the socks that I was knitting on in the previous post. I’m going to wash and block them this evening along with the shawl I finish. I was taking a break from knitting and was working on my loom.  I had started a shawl to take with me to chemo. Towards the end of the chemo treatments I was getting pretty tired and so I never did complete it. Its been sitting in the dining room, which I’ve decided I was going to get it out and start weaving on it.




 I’m just using some scrap yarn that I had on hand. It’s nothing fancy and maybe that’s why I’ve been dragging my feet on it because it’s more of something that was going to be just a practical easy thing to work on when I was going through treatments, nothing that I had to think about. But I need to finish it so I can get it off my loom and start something else. 




what I’m gonna do with it after I finish it I’m really not sure.

 Haven’t done much, just been going back-and-forth to Tulsa. I did finish listening to a book, this one is a mystery by Elly Griffiths. I love her books they are not complicated but you’re not sure where she is going to go with the plot,  I mean who did it. I just finished The House at the Seas End. And now I’m on the next book in the series of her character Ruth Galloway who is a archaeologist and instructor at a university. This book is called A Room Full of Bones. 

Till next 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          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
