I think I spent the most time in the that booth!<br />
<br />
I really liked these letters, so I came home and made this cute little mug rug.<br />
<br />
I ironed on the letters and did a machine blanket stitch around them.<br />

It was nice to be able to do some fun quilting just for me.Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11077810210486318063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855584131734675899.post-15911477190219339722017-11-20T21:50:00.001-07:002017-11-20T21:50:23.427-07:00Quilt Days Auction for LDS Hospital I have started to attend an organization of hand quilters. They meet once a month at LDS Hospital to work on quilts. Which is just perfect, because I really want to perfect my hand quilting skills. Every other year they action off the finished quilts and donate all the proceeds to an organization that needs help. For example, this year they are donating to the hospital's mental health program.<br />
<br />
They have an open house for about a week before that auction to display all of their hard work. Last week I went with a bunch of quilt guild ladies I know, and admired all the work.<br />
<br />
I know I have helped on a couple of quilts, but I haven't done a lot of work compared to some other ladies. This one was fairly recent, so I remember working on it. I did some work around the border.<br />

She left this lovely feedback:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Graphik Webfont", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">love this sweet little quilt! have it hanging on my wall in my teal, yellow and red diningroom</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Then a couple weeks later, she came to me and said that she had it framed and hanging, but that it would look better with another two on either side of it. So of course I told I would make some more!<br />
<br />
We decided that the same fabrics, same borders, but different stars would be the ways to go. This is what I came up with.<br />

She loves them! Me too!!<br />

I love to hear back from customers, and I especially love it when they love what I made for them!Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11077810210486318063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855584131734675899.post-49047861933032906282017-09-24T18:30:00.001-06:002017-09-24T18:30:32.454-06:00Quilt Fest 2017 It was a crazy summer but I made it. I have been working a lot on my Etsy Shop and improving that in lots of ways. I have introduced some new items and cleaned up my listings.<br />
<br />
But in the mean time, I have started a few new quilts.<br />
Specifically, Quilt Fest was this week and I was able to attend two classes. The first one was called Moroccan Lullaby. It involved some lattice work, but I love the teachers visuals. It was very easy to follow.<br />

The next class I took was called Kaleido Medallion. it is all paper piecing. The teacher had a cool computer program where you could plug in the colors you chose to see what the finished product would look like.<br />
<br />
Here is what mine will look like. <br />

<br />
I was feeling kind of stuck, and not confident in my color choices, so I had my husband, Will, pick them out for me. So since then it has been dubbed as HIS quilt as it was definitely not colors I would have otherwise picked out.<br />

Well, I kept up with the group and made all the blocks. Some were definitely harder than others. But I learned some cool skills, like fussy cutting, working with tiny pieces, and organizing my pieces to keep them straight.<br />

Each block was so cool and different.<br />
<br />
Making the border was an interesting experience. With the blocks on point, I had to deal with bias stretch and sewing with the angles. But I love the way it turned out.<br />

After I got the top all put together, the project got put on hold for a year while I worked on other things like Christmas presents. But my husband would admire each project I would do and then ask when I was going to work on his quilt.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of 2017 I decided I need to finish my unfinished business. So I got it all pinned together and worked on how I was going to quilt it. I wasn't a fan of the way the magazine had it quilted but I wanted to quilt it in a way that would show off the piecing. It took a few weeks but I finally figured it out<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqsJO-9Sc6-H-bolCCGdBGsWKRgSowSYnkiJnLgr-tJzqGHxQUrCzybhPE6KYvt6aiBqAQCqK1kB9PzJhSJD7pKV-T07xNu3Fel_pEcYCF30Og2xh_bILIoaXyVLYoYNs3hXbiPXvV4E7Z/s1600/IMG-4755.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqsJO-9Sc6-H-bolCCGdBGsWKRgSowSYnkiJnLgr-tJzqGHxQUrCzybhPE6KYvt6aiBqAQCqK1kB9PzJhSJD7pKV-T07xNu3Fel_pEcYCF30Og2xh_bILIoaXyVLYoYNs3hXbiPXvV4E7Z/s320/IMG-4755.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
While this was all happening, I got a flier for a local art show. I had entered a couple of small quilts into this show before, but nothing big. I decided I wanted to enter this quilt. It was the best piecing I had ever done, and so I worked really hard to make sure my quilting was awesome too.<br />

After I picked out a fabric I wanted to bind it with, I tried a more professional method to get my mitered corners more square. I also hand sewed the binding. The first I had ever done so on anything bigger than a wall hanging.<br />

And it is finished!<br />
Here it is hanging up at the art show. By happenstance, I arrived to take this picture when they were doing the awards ceremony. I figured I would stay and see who won because there was a few of the ladies from quilt guild that had entered quilts, and they always won.<br />
<br />
I was very surprised when they called my name!<br />

She has lived in that house for over 10 years and she had never recovered it the whole time she had lived there. It was starting to get holes and wear marks. I had never done anything like that, but i was willing to try! The hardest part was take the cover off. It even had a zipper on it. It was also kind of tricky trying to get it in my car to get it back to her house, but we made it!<br />
<br />
It turned out so great, and it matches her blue piano!<br />

I have been venturing out into the hand quilting world. I recently discover a group that gets together once a month and makes hand quilted quilts to raise month for a local hospital. So I try to go for at least an hour each month. That ladies there are so nice and happy to show me how to do it. They are also really happy to tell me about their great-grand kids! I am probably as old as their grand kids.<br />

And finally, I had a request for a twin size flag quilt for a Boy Scout Court of Honor. It is huge!<br />

I have another cute niece or nephew coming in a couple weeks. This family has lots of fun when the new baby arrives because they don't ever find out the gender till the baby arrives. Then they like to torture the rest of the family for a while till they finally reveal to us the name and gender of the new arrival. Its torture, but it is fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When they announced their first baby I was struggling trying to figure out what kind of baby quilt to make for them. I didn't want to just make some thing neutral. I wanted it to be fun. At the time, they lived a few states away from the rest of the family. So I finally decided to make quilt that was a map of the United States. It was quilted around each state line. It even had tiny hearts quilted around their city and around the city where the rest of us lived. Definitely a test of my free motion quilting skills. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For their second child I kept with the theme and did a map of the world. It didn't have the country borders printed on it, but I followed the continental borders. The oceans had loads of swirls and drifts in it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The child coming soon is baby number three. So I have to follow the theme! This one is a map of the solar system.</div>

It took some time to find a panel that I liked. This one really got me. Yes, its not accurate because it still identifies Pluto as a planet, but I don't care.<br />

On the back I used some awesome tie dyed flannel. It is super soft and it is the first time I used flannel as a backing.<br />

The next time they have a baby, I might have to find a panel of some constellations, or the Milky Way.

December is over, so now I have more time to focus on other things! Like Quilting!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been working on about 8 or 9 projects. One of which is this fun baby quilt for the future Baby H.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have a thing going with this side of the family. Grandma picks out the fabric and I make the quilt. Its pretty fun that way because they let me do whatever I want. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found inspiration for this one from one of the many pins on my Quilting Pinterest board. </div>

Next, Santa brought me this super cute kit in my stocking so i just had to dive right into it.<br />
It is my first 100% hand made project. Even the binding is hand sewn which is a first for me.<br />
<br />
I worked on it mostly in the car, waiting for kids to get out of school, or in the evening, watching a show.<br />

It has holes every where and there is no way it could be saved. Well, one day a few months ago, my local quilt shop sent out an email about this...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It mentioned something about turning old quilts into something new. What a great idea! So I made this for my sister for Christmas. I didn't give her any explanation, but she knew right away what it was and where it came from. And she loved it!<br />

(I have plans for another one for someone else who I know would really like it! And if there is enough quilt left, I might do one for me too!)<br />

So I drew up two patterns, found a color scheme that went with their room and their favorite colors.<br />
<br />
So first I started with Naomi's quilt. I started last spring when I could work on it when she was in school.<br />
<br />
Her quilt was very random. I started by throwing out the squares and made sure they were mixed up real good.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJbFLThKf9errslLtcz44Qh0QPLD4zZ63sRC0809BOvVHMPERPMLUhFrgwW9NSFHX_K6YepMe3g1reRSw3-nhkGnx30OUjAZ5FhBrND5Y8iNn75nx_sSAgBCnegMzpMD9_zZ697Ky3psQB/s1600/IMG_0052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJbFLThKf9errslLtcz44Qh0QPLD4zZ63sRC0809BOvVHMPERPMLUhFrgwW9NSFHX_K6YepMe3g1reRSw3-nhkGnx30OUjAZ5FhBrND5Y8iNn75nx_sSAgBCnegMzpMD9_zZ697Ky3psQB/s320/IMG_0052.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Then straightened them up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivrjQZtyMOWF4wD2BQnFILDTHlO0nkA7puWk1VGkJPGKBkgSfWsp3CaDuNGCDTCvXPuxywwGJjnOBDyO2kbaY7SevPqecI45m0qrcNXlz8HQQxEt4jW5oA9nUtFTbOdtXBRC1i-l1Blyys/s1600/IMG_0053.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivrjQZtyMOWF4wD2BQnFILDTHlO0nkA7puWk1VGkJPGKBkgSfWsp3CaDuNGCDTCvXPuxywwGJjnOBDyO2kbaY7SevPqecI45m0qrcNXlz8HQQxEt4jW5oA9nUtFTbOdtXBRC1i-l1Blyys/s320/IMG_0053.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Then sewed them together with the sashing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then quilted it. I kept it simple with straight lines.<br />

I love how they are different enough that when they grow out of liking to be the same, they can be different, but yet, they still work together with each other and the color scheme in the room. As you can tell, Noami's favorite color is pink, and Alana's is teal blue. They also picked out the colors for the room. I was really surprised when Naomi picked yellow fro her wall color<br />

I was contacted by a friend of a friend to make this shirt quilt for a daughter who is a sports star!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started out by rough cutting each shirt, ironing on stabilizer on the back, then cutting them to size. Each square is 12.5 inches across, but they all vary in length, depending on the design on the shirt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUG_Q-f1DDJivKpnvAdse2HsL_hCHmvQ9jxb1FJmkZdESERgh9WbsrmEQzD8U4wZ5uENJZLdNk1cX9oo2GYdmxyHNCCiRVLFtvVGqWT7MKV5d7WJoa-JM7el6-0JLHDOiEZXPHHoM0WoO3/s1600/IMG_4061.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUG_Q-f1DDJivKpnvAdse2HsL_hCHmvQ9jxb1FJmkZdESERgh9WbsrmEQzD8U4wZ5uENJZLdNk1cX9oo2GYdmxyHNCCiRVLFtvVGqWT7MKV5d7WJoa-JM7el6-0JLHDOiEZXPHHoM0WoO3/s320/IMG_4061.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I pieced them all together, starting in vertical strips, centering them together, adding filler blocks, piecing the strips together, and adding a border to bring it to size.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1GR3unmUhyK0il8LH-PSZ1Gm0Kf0anoZ6X4HjHcFzlAQZRDNbF9duMdloPCVnGbl3OQLQCwZuf1_Xc5qqzNLYQ77MzAR458DDkdQlPRk-eRd937lZHHahDqKThwgpxonXhLlX_ntprxs/s1600/IMG_4118.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1GR3unmUhyK0il8LH-PSZ1Gm0Kf0anoZ6X4HjHcFzlAQZRDNbF9duMdloPCVnGbl3OQLQCwZuf1_Xc5qqzNLYQ77MzAR458DDkdQlPRk-eRd937lZHHahDqKThwgpxonXhLlX_ntprxs/s320/IMG_4118.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I layered on the batting a back fabric that the mom picked out. Then i quilted it like crazy. I used my favorite design or a meandering swirly line. It creates a lot of movement, is easy to fill areas, and I can start and stop easily and hide it easily.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then I added a coordinating hem.<br />

Needless to say I ended up in fourth place (of 4 quilts.) but I think I come to an important conclusion. My style is a lot different than the other ladies in quilt guild. I like the simplicity of my quilt. There quilts were very busy to me. They were very cutsie. But on the other hand thier quilts were very well made. They definitely have superior quilting skills. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I want to improve my skills. So I am going to find one quilting technique that I really enjoy doing, and work hard on that so that I can master that technique. Instead of bouncing around from technique to technique. So that is my plan. We will see where it takes me. </div><br></div><br></div><br></div>Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11077810210486318063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855584131734675899.post-78005256722399570132016-04-18T16:41:00.001-06:002016-04-18T16:41:14.537-06:00Scrap WreathsI saw something like this on Pinterest a while ago.

My dad and Verna are very outdoorsy. They love being at their properties and working on their projects. So for them I made an Irish Chain quilt in green. I found a pattern for the trees that I liked but after I bought it I found out it involved buying a specific template. I thought that was useless so I created my own pattern.</div>

During the process I found out what happens when you sew over a safety pin. Not so good. But I was lucky. It didn't even break the needle! But it definitely needed changing after that!<br />
