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. I figure we need to refrain ourselves and keep it down to a couple episodes a night.

Today I put a binding on another quilt from the pile.




This quilt had been quilted a few years back and got use without a binding.  Have that ever happen with you?

It's been so long I not sure if I have my memories correct but I believe it was a Thangle block of the month.

Thangles was a paper piecing technique. Not sure If quilters still use them.



If your interested you can google Thangles Triangle papers.







Well that is my intentions 

wish me luck 

Till next time

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

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
