Feeling like Fall

This week has felt a lot like fall with the nice cool morning and days warm and breezy. Love this time of year, hard to stay inside but I have had to. My mom is still in the hospital and have been spending time visiting.



I take along piecework with me. Took the Mosaic Diamond (aka Mom's Quilt) this week and have 2 more completed which now brings the total up to 13. Just a start tho, heaven knows it will take a lot of these diamonds to make a bed size quilt. Decided that it will be the size from what the fabric I have make.






Also this week I have been working on getting the hexagon circle appliqued down for the center of the Dreamy Hexagon. Have 5 of the circles done and just 2 left. Then it's on to the next step.    

Been thinking about the Retro Air-Ship Propeller and knew I wanted to do something else.



Thinking about a thin strip of black and then a print border.

It just that I haven't decided which one to use and hope you will let me know which one you think.



Have a pink



a turquoise print



and a lighter turquoise and pink print.

Which one....????

    I'm a new reader to your lovely blog. I like the black border with light turquoise. Also wondered about using turquoise for narrow border and then light turquoise??

    I really like the turquoise print. But any of the three will make a beautiful quilt.

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
