Hey it’s Summer


 Wow has it been hot here these past few weeks. Yucky……

I don’t know about you but I’m a cool weather girl, me and heat struggle to be together. I’m getting more like myself in all ways these days which means I’m can tolerate some humidity but still limits my time to be outside and active.

Which means I have been doing more inside. 

Since I haven’t posted anything since March, it’s about time I do.

Since the last post I have had a few quilts machined quilted and have been working on bindings.


The Peace quilt has been finished and given to its new owner.



Turned out so cool. Love it.


It will be loved and used

Then another quilt that was in the group of tops that were quilted is from Laundry Basket .

This one I had finished a few years ago and it’s nice to be now working on the binding. 


Here it is being trimmed up to have the binding attached which is what I am in the process of doing 




This quilt is for me and will be another addition to my Christmas quilts collection.  I’ll show more pictures after I get the binding on. 

I have another quilt by Laundry Basket that I’m been wanting to start, so as soon as this done I’ll be starting that.



I’m still plugging along on my sister’s quilt 




Have one more pieced block to make and then add the green frame for the rest made.

And then on to all the filling blocks.

Just slow and steady.


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        ...

It's for the Birds

WHOO  - WHOO It's my day for 'It's for the birds" blog hop.  Before I start I need to give thanks to our cheerleaders  and If it wasn't for all their hard work this hop would not of happen.  Thank you ladies Now for what you stopped by for. I have a lot of bird related patterns, especially ones that are chickens This quilt I made last year from a pattern in Quiltmania. Then here are a few more patterns I had and thought about doing. But time wasn't on my side for a big project.  You see I'm going to see "the little dudes" next week, it's their first birthday. Blake and Ben, my "little dudes" Can't believe it's been a year already. OK back to topic here.  A couple of years ago while at the Dallas Quilt show I purchased this pincushion.   I thought it was interesting but what I really wanted was the pattern. It came from a shop in Texas,...
