<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's done! It's done! It's finally done! It is a Dodec Wheel. The plans are here: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.spinningdaily.com/blogs/spinoff/archive/2012/08/23/spin-off-fall-2012.aspx">http://www.spinningdaily.com/blogs/spinoff/archive/2012/08/23/spin-off-fall-2012.aspx</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Scroll down the page and click on the picture of the Dodec Wheel on the left.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It should have cost $10. I spent less than $10 when I walked out of Franklin Building Supply with all the parts to build a Dodec Wheel. That didn't allow for the buying of more wood when I messed up the first piece. Or the buying of more bolts when I realized I bought the wrong ones. Or the buying of the Shaker Peg from the internet which turned out to cost $10 all by itself with shipping. And then was not the right Shaker Peg after all and I bought a wooden knob that worked great from Ace. It also didn't include things like sandpaper, paint, and glue that I already had. Well, I had paint, but decided I needed two cans of spray paint from Walmart to get the right ugly green that my wheel deserved. And I had to buy one of the two drill bits needed because I didn't have that size. So my Dodec cost significantly more than $10. I refuse to add it up. Maybe my next Dodec will cost $10. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now all I need to do is learn to spin on it. Let you know how it goes.</div>

Several of the members camped out and others came for the day. I taught a piecing techniques class on how to make half square triangles, quarter square triangles and other common quilt squares. Everyone said they enjoyed themselves and I had a good time sharing with them. Lyn came ready to make a baby quilt for her first grandchild. Dena and others who wanted to tried out Big Mama. Betty brought some of the fabric she got at a yard sale others brought their knitting to work on and Gail was spinning some fiber she bought at a yard sale. Maybe next year we'll have finished projects to show.</span><br />

Gail had 2 large plastic bags full of Llama fleece she was given while she was in WA. It will look really nice once she gets in spun. Lois was working on a really pretty shawl using I think Noro yarn and she had a beautiful quilt top that her cousin made for her which Gail will be quilting. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me so I don't have pictures of those items to post. I was working on some socks. For those who asked what the yarn was it is called Frolicking Feet made by Done Roving. I purchased it at A Good Yarn Shop in Port Orchard, WA when I was up there in May. It can also be found on line. I took this picture this morning.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Those who wish to make blocks during the retreat need to bring their sewing machines, rotary cutters, cutting mats, rulers, the usual sewing supplies and some material. We'll also need an iron and ironing board which I will bring. I will have my cutting mat and rotary cutter there in case someone needs to use them. For your materials you may want to bring and light or two and whatever you want to use for your darks. You can bring an assortment of quarter yard pieces which will give you a scrappy look or half yard to a yard of one color. What I thought I would do is to show you a few different blocks that use the same units to create the blocks, but their placement is what makes the different blocks. They will be simple to make so don't worry yourselves silly ahead of time. The object is to have a good time and give you a foundation in case you wish to continue and make a quilt. You might want to bring paper and pencil for notes so you can remember things later. Also I don't know which building we are going to be using, but you may need to bring tables to sew on and maybe extension cords and or power strips so you can plug in. If anyone knows for sure could you let me know what if any of that we will need, See you there.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424098574773312555.post-5341202030238866922012-03-28T15:47:00.005-07:002012-03-28T16:01:28.788-07:00Spring Break Dye PartyThis and That Craft Group had their annual dye party.

At the meeting we discussed how large the group can be at times and Gail and I thought that maybe we could meet at the Electric Company in Declo.

The nice part is we won't have to come up with money to rent it. So I am hoping to see everyone there the <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">1st</span> of March.

I know they told me her name, but I can't come up with it at this time. Later in the evening we had a lesson for Gail on how to use the spinning wheel. She was getting the hang of it so the next thing you know she'll have her own wheel. After the meeting Carol June followed me to my house where she picked up some Cheddar material to do the Cheddar Challenge on Quiltville.com and visited with Mr. Owen who says he's interested in learning to spin so one of these days maybe Carol June will have another student. It was a fun evening and we hope the ladies from Oakley will be able to attend next month. As the evening was breaking up we decided to do a Christmas Gife Exchange. The gift is to be $10 or less, hand made by someone and wrapped. If I've forgotten anything let me know. We'll do some kind of game to exchange them. More details to follow. See you next month.</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424098574773312555.post-54585215389445795032011-10-03T17:30:00.000-07:002011-10-03T17:42:24.060-07:00Signs of Fall in the air.<div><span style="font-family:arial;">Today out of nowhere the wind started to blow really hard and with har<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLEMtxZ7BRAQyj3wCuL5t73alI2vrbzOHD1cXOrXmHErmsz1Mfs5WjdOs66CKK8lqAfsWE4p1oeLzBzqQXwDjp8FYTNOQWbsTxiII-4JsB-hLr339qGNmVCUdkKaSfNcPtu69aob-s2P-5/s1600/Wind+Storm.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 166px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659428536677073266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLEMtxZ7BRAQyj3wCuL5t73alI2vrbzOHD1cXOrXmHErmsz1Mfs5WjdOs66CKK8lqAfsWE4p1oeLzBzqQXwDjp8FYTNOQWbsTxiII-4JsB-hLr339qGNmVCUdkKaSfNcPtu69aob-s2P-5/s200/Wind+Storm.jpg" /></a>vest in full swing it was heavy with dust as well as all kinds of objects blowing through the air.

They have great long table and wonderful lighting for sewing. Lyn showed us how to do the "impossible" by making and quilting a quilt in pieces but making it look like it was all done at once. I have already started one. April has also done the impossible and spun up some of her dye soppers so fine that she Navajo plyed it and it is still almost lace weight weight yarn. We are considering expelling her from our club!! :-) Some of these meetings are kind of spur of the minute deals but if any of you would like to be notified when we are doing something extra like these please let me know.<br />

After she added all the colors she wanted she took a bottle cap (off her milk bottle in which she had drilled a hole) and just pulled a small twist of the fibers through the hole in the middle of the cap, sliding the cap up the fibers. She started from one side and went to the other and ended up with a long length ready to spin into yarn.

We were feeling blue, dyed blue, and so was everything that we touched. One of us picked up the jar of undiluted blue instead of the diluted and put it in the dye pot. We dyed everything we could find and never did exhaust the dye. We also rinsed and rinsed and rinsed trying to get the excess dye out of what we did dye. We did wind up with some pretty blue yarns though.<br />
<br />
I attempted to dye some roving for socks but it turned out VERY green and I think it will go to Lyn and I will try again.<br />
