Hodge Podge Day





A lot of times when I do not complete the tasks that is written down in my bullet journal I had hope to have done during the week, I'll try to do them on the weekend.

That is why it was such a hodge podge of a day.
Did some cleaning and finally hung the turkey platters back up on the wall in the dining room. 



I had taken them down to put up Christmas plates, which it's been 6 months...no hurry.

You see I was in one of those moods where I wanted to clean and organize. Yesterday I thought I would try to finish the Flag Quilt today .... and I did do a little sewing, finished all the missing units that were needed. 




Maybe tomorrow I'll get it done.


I thought I would organize the hexies I'm working on and realize that I had this cute case that I had purchased with fat quarters of Kaye England fabric lying around for a good many years and I'm now finally going to use it. 



Wanted some dividers for the hexies when I get them prepped. Made one out of some cardboard, hope it works.
I need to get more hexagons.




If I had thought this out and knew I was going to get this die I could of cut out my own but I already started with the 3/4". That's okay, I'll use it for the next time.




I think it will work, only time will tell.




Then I had been meaning to warp the little loom all week and did that today. 




Using up more of the stash yarn.
Warped alternating 4 strains of multi and 4 of the solid.
Not sure what it will look like until I'll start weaving. Guessing game.

Agree that is a hodge podge day.

  1. had to laugh at the Christmas plates still on the wall and being changed out now - a house down the road from me still has a Christmas Wreath hung on the front door - I know they normally use the back door by the carport and wonder if they even remember it is hanging still

  2. I am a great fan of a list, using bullet points too. It works well. I did smile at your plates finally been put back on the wall.

  3. You got lots of odds and ends done. Is amazing how finishing off a few chores improves one sense of accomplishment for the week.

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
