A recent completion

2012-01-23T11:03:00.000-06:00

I have a finished quilt. Finishing projects is on my list of things to do this year. I have a good start.

This was a mystery quilt I started 6 months ago through our local quilt shop, Specialty Quilts. The quilt consists of half square triangles and 4 patches. It was a fun and easy quilt to make. I chose Kansas Troubles charm packs for my quilt. It will be interesting to see the other quilts as we all chose different lines of fabric.

Gift exchange at Thimbleberry Club

2011-12-19T14:45:00.000-06:00

The Thimbleberry Club at our local quilt shop had our Christmas party and gift exchange this weekend.
I received this lovely "Twister" Christmas tree with all the emblishments on it. I love it.

I received this in exchange for the Snowman in my previous post.

Hooked on Knitting

2011-11-29T21:29:00.000-06:00

After watching several of my friends knit I thought I would give it a try. At one of our girls day out Gerry surprised me with a starter kit and DL was kind of enough to sit with me and give me some tips.
I am no way at the level of knitting as these girls but I am enjoying making dish cloths. Will share a few pics of the ones I have made.

And one more for the season.

Another one of the grils shared her Neck Warmer Parrellagram pattern with me. It is a good one for a beginner. This can be worn several different ways.

I have not given up on sewing. Just a few of the things I have made. Cannot show everything because some are Christmas gifts and I don't want to reveal them just yet.

Four placematts.

A small snowman wall hanging using from my stash to finish. I did hand embodery this one.

Two more placemats. This time machine embrodery.

This is all for now.

Pot holder exchange

2011-08-19T18:58:00.000-05:00

Our guild had a potholder exchange this month along with our annual picnic. What a wonderful turn out we had. There were no two alike.
Here are three of the four I made, I made one last minute and forgot to get a pic of it. The red one and the butterfly ones are mitts.

These are the four lovely potholders I cam home with. The red and white one is hand quilted. Each one too pretty to use.

Tomatoes instead of flowers.

2011-08-08T13:46:00.000-05:00

We decided to put tomato plants in my backyard flower bed this year. We have gotten some really nice tasty tomatoes. Last nights storm blew all the plants over, we restaked them so hopefully they will be OK. Sure would love to have some more of these yummy fruits. We have been having some great BLT's the past few weeks.

Shop hop and meeting with Cyndi...

2011-07-24T13:37:00.001-05:00

I just returned from a three day shop hop bus trip to Ohio. We shopped at the following shops on the way.

Jackman's Fabrics – in St. Louis

Quilted Garden- Edwardsville, Ill

These are all in the Columbus area:

Red Rooster, Quilt Beginnings, North; QuiltTrends; Glass Thimble; Sew to Speak; Quilt Beginnings, East and Always in Stitches - .

Quilts Plus, Indianapolis ( on the way back home).

I think the 33 shoppers on the bus helped out the local economy in Columbus, especially the quilt shops.

All the shops greeted us and had treats for us. However the best part of my trip was that I met up with Cyndi from bluebirdswing.blogspot.com at Quilt Trends and then she followed the bus to two more shops before she needed to head home. We had a nice visit and had a friendly chat.

Cyndi had a nice surprise for me. She made me one of her lovely handbags just for me using "Hello Betty" fabric. Now just how special was that. She included some lovely smell good items inside the bag. .

One more picture. Now just how clever is this?

Made if home safe and tired last night.

Another Pot Holder

2011-06-22T21:27:00.000-05:00

Since I decided to keep the two applique pot holders featured in my last blog I have made another one for our pot holder exchange at our August guild meeting. I hand embroderied the block and machine quilted around it. Now I have one more to make.

Applique pot holders

2011-06-16T20:02:00.000-05:00

I have recently started doing some applique with a group of ladies in our local guild. We had a few of the experienced appliquers kind enought to help us get started with different techniques to try. I had two of my first samples just lying around and decided to make them into potholders. Our guild is having a potholder exchange in August. I cannot decide if I want to give these away or keep them since they are my frist two pieces I appliqued. If I decide to keep them I will need to get busy and make a few more potholders.

Also going to share a few pictures of my lillies that are in full bloom. I have 7 different varieties, I won't bore you with pictures of all of them.

Recent visitors.

2011-05-25T20:02:00.001-05:00

I have had a nest of Phoebes on my front porch light this Spring. Look what I noticed yesterday. You may need to look closely to see two little birds in the nest. There were three of them. One good thing I got this picture when I did. They flew the coop today.

More visitors.

These little pest are the 13 year cacadas that have invaded our yard. They are on all my hostas and around all of our trees. We could scoop them up by buckets full. They have not started flying are singing yet.

Where have I been??????

2011-04-24T16:44:00.002-05:00

Can you guess where I have been the past three weeks? This was a welcoming gift from my friend Carol who we stayed with for 12 days.
This is your first clue.

OK, need a few more clues??

If you guessed London you are correct. We spent several days in London and then hopped on the train to go stay with our friends in Arnesby, England for 12 days. Our friends were the best host anyone could have asked for. They took us around to the Cotswolds, Cambridge and several small villages in the area. We truely saw the beautiful country side of England. The four of us went to Edinburgh by train for 3 days. We had a great time with memories and friendship to cherish a lifetime.

We escaped London before the Royal wedding events. You can bet that I will be watching it on TV. We walked the very aisle that the royal couple will be walking on this Friday.

Yes, I did get to visit a fabric shop. We went to the Bramble Patch http://www.thebramblepatch.co.uk/shop/index.asp

My First

2011-03-17T14:37:00.000-05:00

I have finished my first large hand applique project. I choose this kit because it had large pieces and not a lot of sharp points etc. I enjoyed doing this and imporved my stitches as I went along. I know the bunnys on the bottom are not centered on the quilt, this is how the pattern was so I followed it. I hope to start another hand applique project soon.
This is a Jan Patek pattern.

Spring has arrived.

2011-03-09T16:21:00.000-06:00

Spring came to my front door today in a priority mail package. Just one day after my birthday I received this lovely gift from Cyndi at Blue Birds Wing.

Not only did she send me a lovely bag but a wallet to match. Then she topped it off with some chocolates and a very nice message inside a cute card.

Now all I need is for the Spring weather to arrive and stay.

Thank you very much Cyndi for my birthday gift.

Snow storm in Mid-Missouri

2011-02-02T09:38:00.001-06:00

Sharing a few pictures of our recent snow storm. We have not had a storm like this in many years. Our street still has not be plowed. Don has kept the driveway and sidewalk clear with his snow blower.

Walk to front door

Front door looking toward the unplowed street

Bushes in front of the house.

Don with his winter toy... sure glad we bought this last year.

Road to Jericho

2011-01-30T10:51:00.000-06:00

My 90 year old mom made this quilt for her youngest grandson. I finished quilting this oversized queen quilt yesterday.

Ready for Valentine's Day

2011-01-26T13:57:00.000-06:00

I made this walhanging last year from a charm pack. I added a small lace edge before adding the boarder. I think it added a litt to the project.

Flowers in full bloom

2011-01-19T16:02:00.001-06:00

I had flowers blooming in December. That is until I gave them away to special friends. I actually made three more but failed to get pictures before I gave them away.

These lotus blossom pin cushions were fun to make. It did require a lot of hand work but I found it to be nice to make something without sitting in front of a sewing machine for a change.

Half way there...

2011-01-09T14:06:00.000-06:00

I have my Raggedy and Friends BOM caught up. This should be the big half of the quilt. If interested in the BOM by Kaaren Johnson from "The Painted Quilt" go to http://thepaintedquilt.blogspot.com/2010/07/coming-soonraggedy-friends-bom.html you will find all the patterns for this project on the right of her blog.

I have enjoyed this project and cannot wait for the 20th of each month to see what the next block will be.

Sorry that the picture is sideways. It is not like this in my file but for some reason it came in like this.

New Year's Day Mystery Quilt

2011-01-02T12:25:00.000-06:00

Myself and a few friends got together yesterday to do the mystery quilt sponsered by Planet Patchwork http://planetpatchwork.com/Case133/case133part1.htm.
I got all but the last border done by the end of the day. I just finished the outside border and have it ready for quilting. Overall I am happy with the small wall hanging. A few points could be better but after it is quilted and you don't stand real close it will not be too noticable. Not sure but I may add some applique to the border.

My first needle turn applique.

2010-11-26T16:03:00.003-06:00

I have always wanted to try to hand appliqué. Just recently a group from our quilt guild formed a appliqué club. Our first project was needle turn, something I thought I would never try. However, I think I may like it. We were given a piece of green bias to use for the stem and a piece of pre-marked purple, it looks blue in the picture, for our flower. After I got it appliquéd to the background piece I wanted to do something with it since it was after all my first needle turn project. I added a few leaves and a piece of brown for dirt. I bordered it and made it into a pocket for a canvas bag I had. BTW I also tried my hand at my first quilting. My stitches are not even like they are supposed to be. We will be introduced to several other hand appliqué methods in our next meeting

.

I wanted to practice the needle turn applique a little more and made this mini-runner.

A finished project

2010-11-19T17:18:00.000-06:00

I finally found some time to do some sewing for myself. Most of the fabrics in these placematts and table runner are fabrics I received as a gift from Cyndi at http://bluebirdswing.blogspot.com/. Thanks Cyndi. The pattern is

Deck the Halls -- Triplets by Chloe Anderson & Colleen Reale of Toadusew. It is in this months Quilter's World.

This is a close up.

Quilts for the Veterans

2010-11-11T18:31:00.001-06:00

Today was a heartwarming day for me and members of our Quilt Guild. Our Guild, Missouri River Quilt Guild along with the help of 7 other local guild made over 100 quilts to be donated to the residents at the Harry S Truman Hospital.. This is a picture of just a few of the quilts we had.

Shop Hop Trip and more...

2010-10-09T12:06:00.003-05:00

Look at this beautiful batik fabric that was exclusive to the 11 shops on our Country Shop Hop. Hoffman Fabrics printed a beautiful dogwood batik just for the shops in the Country Shop Hop. Look close and you should see the dogwood blossom in the design. The dogwood is Missouri's state tree. There where 11 shops in this hop and I hit all of them yesterday. I went on a bus trip with 30 other ladies. What a blast we had. Each shop had a free pattern for us, they also used this pattern to have the item made for display in their shop. Our last stop all the ladies were wearing aprons made with this fabric. Some stores were already sold out of this special fabric.

Thanks to Hofffman Fabric's for designing this great print for us.

Now for the more...

I belong to a small group of fun ladies, the Quiltin' Chicks, we meet once a month to visit, have demos and of course show and tell. I suggested a Chicken challenge a few months ago and to have them ready for our

October meeting. We had some cute items come in. I made a few prizes for the event. Here are two of them.

This Chick was so fun to make. I think I found this pattern on someone's blog months ago. Sorry I don't remember who it was.

This is a flour sack dish towel with of course a Chick on it. Also gave away a Chicken egg timer, didn't get a picture of it.

-----------------

For my challange I made an entire set of the dish towels. One for each day of the week. Also made a wall hanging for my newly painted kitchen.

HELP... I need your help blogging friends

2010-10-06T13:49:00.000-05:00

I made a few of these little bags, very tiny, a few months ago from a pattern I purchased at the Kansas City Sewing Expo last October. Now I want to make more and I cannot find my pattern. It is hiding from me somewhere in my sewing room. I did a little putting away etc last week and you guessed it. I must have put it away too good. So if there is anyone out there that can tell me what the name of this pattern is maybe I can get another one.

Thanks.

"Raggedy and Friends.

2010-09-29T12:48:00.010-05:00

I have finished the first three blocks of Kaaren Johnston's "Raggedy and Friends" BOM. They are so fun to do. I always look forward to the 20th of the month for the next block. Thanks again Kaaren for sharing these patterns with the blog world.

I had fun with these two, it is Harly Davidson fabric. You know bikers believe in Santa too.

Charity Quilt Finished

2010-08-15T14:12:00.006-05:00

Our quilt guild is making bed sized quilts for our local VA hospital. My almost 90 year old mother pieced this quilt in just a few days from scraps in her stash. I have an HQ16 quiliting machine and still learning the technique. I decided this would be a good one to practice on. Not something I would want in an heirloom quilt but I think it will be fine for a donated quilt to charity. The quilt still needs binding which I plan to pass this task on to some quild members that have offered to bind quilts for the VA project.

Close up of quilt and back side.

Applique Project

2010-08-04T19:39:00.004-05:00

Got in some sewing today. I purchased this as a kit last week while on a 3 day bus trip thru Illinois, Indiania and Kentucky. We stopped at nine different stories so I am not sure where I purchased this kit but think it was Loose Threads in Seymour, In.

I am wanting to do more applique and thought this would be something small and fairly easy to start with.

Now I have to decide which project to start next. I have many...

My complied BOM for July

2010-07-25T10:00:00.004-05:00

I have finished the first Annie and Andy BOM that Kaaren at http://thepaintedquilt.blogspot.com/ is hosting. I decided to use 30's fabrics because a had all of this in my stash. I am happy with the results, If you are interested in this BOM I have a link to it on my side bar. Thank you Karen for this fun project.

Look what I received in the mail yesterday.

2010-07-22T09:47:00.003-05:00

I received my fat quater bundle plus a few extras from Cyndi at http://www.bluebirdswing.blogspot.com/

Cyndi hosted a very generous giveaway recently with several winners. I was one of the lucky ones. Sorry Cyndi H and Gerry, better luck next time. :-) I have not yet decided what to use the FG's for but I will think of something with a little time. I love the cherry note pad and pen.

Thank you very much Cyndi. You are the best...

Recieved my Giveaway.

More flowers for you to enjoy...

2010-07-13T09:53:00.006-05:00

Most of my sewing has been for gifts that I don't want to share yet. Therefore I will share picuturs of more of my flowers and plants.

I will have another cactus blooming in just a day or two.

These are some of my star gazer lillies that are in full bloom. I have four stalks like this. They smell so nice.

These are castor bean plants. They should still get much taller and produce beans that are poison the we plan to use to get rid of the pesky moles that have done a lot of damage to the yard this summer.

This is a Cleome in bloom. The common name is spider plant or Grandfather's whiskers. These re-seed themselves every year. They are pretty however they do not have a nice fragrance.

This is a Liatris, somethimes referred to as Blazing Star or Gay Feather. As you can see the bees love this plant.

Flowering Cactus

2010-06-27T11:23:00.005-05:00

Look what I found on my Cactus last night. The one on the left is in full bloom, the one on the right is as it was opening.

I have been told this is a Echinopsis Eyresii. Commenly referred to as the Pink Easter Lily Cactus.

It is a beautiful flower but the bloom only last one night. I brought it indoors so it may last an extra day. I h ave had this plant for a long time and has bloomed once every year for the past ten years

Summer Flowers

2010-06-18T19:34:00.007-05:00

I have not had much time to sew this week so I will share some picturs of my flowers that are in bloom.

My lillies have done very well this year.

Toiletrie Pouch "Sew Along"

2010-06-15T11:58:00.005-05:00

Sew Along Project

2010-06-08T17:33:00.009-05:00

I am doing the Make a Bag Sew Along project that Kelly is doing at http://kellyrachel.com/blog/2010/05/25/make-a-bag-sew-along-introduction/

2010-06-06T18:13:00.004-05:00

The Missouri River Quilt Guild held a quilt show this weekend. I am a member of this guild and I must say it was a lot of work but a REALLY BIG show. We had 301 quilts on display. We received a lot of positive comments about the quilts and displays. We had members donate gift baskets etc for a raffle drawing. Guess what? I was the lucky winner of a very nice chair painted by one of our very talented members.

I LOVE IT...

I may post more pictures in a few days.

Beach Bag

2010-05-29T15:05:00.006-05:00

I spent the day making this tropical looking beach bag for a friend. Also made a small zipper bag for small items.

I used white pet screen for the body. That is a pocket on the front, also put one on the other side as well and one on the inside. You can never have too many pockets.

Finished Project

2010-05-23T19:25:00.005-05:00

Just finished this table runner. Pattern was a freebie from HomeSpun Heart they offered a few months ago. It was something different for me to do, it was a fun one to do.

Garage Sale Find

2010-05-14T11:10:00.004-05:00

I finally stopped at a garage sale and found some nice vintage crocheted items. I kept some for myself and gave some to special friends. I am showing the reverse side in the second picture.

Aprons for Mothers Day

2010-05-05T12:24:00.005-05:00

I had time for some sewing yesterday so I decided to make Mom a few aprons. They are nothing real fancy but I know Mom will enjoy them. Last time Mom was over I was wearing an apron and she commented that she was going to have to make one for herself. This gave me the idea as to what to give her for Mother's Day.

These are from the same pattern with different pockets. The first one has some gathering at the bottom to make the pocket stand open a little. I fussy cut some of the cans from the fabric and machine appliqued them on the pocket for a little extra touch.

Giveaway Winner

2010-05-01T15:04:00.004-05:00

I was the lucky winner of Cyndi's recent giveaway of one of her lovely handbags. And lovely it is, her work is very professional .

THANK YOU Cyndi. I love the bag and all the extras.

My Paducah Purchases

2010-04-29T18:39:00.009-05:00

I spent several days in Paducah during the AQS quilt show and of course had to help the textile industry with their stimulus plan. At Eleanor Burn's tent I purchased her "Magic Vines" book and fusables to go with it.

To anyone that has never been to the AQS quilt show in Paducah you need to go at least once. OK, once may not be enough. I went last year for the first time, my friends called me a "virgin". I was a bit overwhelmed and felt like I had to rush to see everything. This year I had a better feeling as to what to see and do. I saw Kaffe Fassett and saw Caryl Bryer Fallert at her Bryerpatch studio. Her work is amazing.

I have been looking for fabric with dice in it to make something for our BUNCO group and was lucky enough to find two fat quarters. Also found some nice fabric for some quick placematts.

I also found some blacks and tans for a quilt pattern I bought last year. Not sure when I will start this project but I now have the fabric when I'm ready.

We went to the AQS book sale. I could not pass up on this book. I want to try my hand at some applique one of these days and this one looked like a good one. AQS has several tables of book for $6.00 or $5.00 each if you buy 6 or more. They have a book for almost anything but you have to have time to dig along with a number of other gals looking for a book they can't live without.

Oh, there is a bit more. I liked this pattern and just had to have it.

Not finished yet. I purchased this redwork stamping.

Using some stash

2010-04-09T16:26:00.004-05:00

I dug into some of my leftovers and stash to make a small bag. I think it will be just right for my trip to Paducah. I made the bag a little wider than the pattern. Also made a little credit card and ID holder to match.

This the other side of the bag

Busy day

2010-04-09T16:19:00.004-05:00

I spent some time quilting today. I made this guilt a few months ago but put off the quilting. This quilt will be donated to our loacl Veterans Hospital. Our Quilt Guild is trying to get 50 quilts completed by 11-11-2010.

Still needs the binding, this will be done by another guild member. We have members that like to bind, my least favorite part.

I had a busy day organizing a sewing event for our charity project for the Missouri River Quilt Guild. We had 15 members come to donate their time and talents to make quilts for our local Veterans Hospital long term care facility. A local business was kind enough to let us use their conference center as a sweat shop. I want to share a few pictures of our busy day.

We have received some donations from local organazitions to help us with the cost for this project.

This is a photo of myself with Linda, past president and Sharon,current president. How do you like or matching T-shirts?

The above label will be placed on all the quilts that we will be donating to the VA hospital.

Look at this featherweight hard at work. What a beautiful machine...
