Embroidery Weekend

01 Jul 2012 | Other RSS posts by
It was an embroidery weekend at my house.  I am just about completed with all the extras I like to add to the Breast Cancer quilts.  I love adding embroidered blocks of different sizes and styles.  This year, my favorites are the applique angels.  I used frosted fabrics for the wings.  It added just the right amount of sparkle!  I need about 16 extra (8 for each quilt) plus the ribbon corner blocks which are the basic ribbon applique blocks below such as the top left one.

Monkey Shines by Barb

I have to tell you, I am still smiling after quilting this adorable embroidered baby quilt by customer Barb.  Barb does a lot of wonderful quilts - some with embroidery and many without. This one is for someone very special and will be traveling all the way to the east very soon. Barb used some really cute flannel for the back adding to the coziness - which I forgot to take a photo of.

Timeless Treasures Contest

Have you seen the wonderful quilts submitted to the Timeless Treasures Contest?  The challenge was to design a quilt or quilted item from the Timeless Treasure line," Plume" or " Orange Crush".  I have seen these fabrics in person and they are stunning.  A fellow Nova Scotia blogger and quilt designer, Karen Neary of Amherst has entered her design called "Ostentation".  I love it! I love the motion and I love all the feathers she quilted in the palm block.
 You can vote for three quilts and the deadline for voting is July 18.  There are some very

Pinwheel Block for Thank You Quilt

01 Jul 2012 | Other RSS posts by
I was asked to make a quilt block for a thank you quilt 
for the Bishop of my Church who had just been released.  
I decided to make a pinwheel quilt.  
I had my kids pick out the fabrics they liked 
and then I supplemented it with other fabrics that I thought looked good together.  
Unfortunately, I did

Poor RV

01 Jul 2012 | Other RSS posts by

Poor sweet hubby! The wind gusts that came through our town about 6 PM tonight blew the roof off his RV. It pulled up the roof for the entire length of the RV on the driver’s side, and it was standing up when we came out of the house. It also tore in half crosswise because the wind wasn’t strong enough to pull up the air conditioner. Sweet hubby and future SIL climbed up on top, wrestled the roof down, and put boards and cinder blocks on top to hold

I finally went to my first Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild meeting yesterday and boy am I glad I did.  It turns out that this meeting was a restructuring meeting.  The members were trying to organize the guild so it functioned more like the other more established guilds around the country.

We decided on the new members of the board (Pres, VP, Sec, Tres, and Graphic Designer).  I was chosen to be the Treasurer.  I am so excited.  There is no better way to get involved in something you love

Entryway tile

Entryway tile

I am fortunate to live in a place where I can walk down the street and see a quilt pattern. Recently I saw this tile entryway and it reminded me of the Basketweave Baby pattern I mentioned some time ago.

This tile pattern is also similar to one I saw in Petaluma. I was lame and didn’t take a photo of the corner of that older entryway, but there may have been a reason. I do like to take
