I love it and will make mine scrappy. The pattern came today. I want to get started on it but it must wait, I have a customer quilt on the machine that I must work on today. I am behind schedule due to the flu and taking off Easter weekend. <br />
<br />
I understand from reading Lynn's blog that she works at In Between Stitches in Livermore Ca. In Between Stitches is a wonderful quilt shop that I love to visit when in Ca. They have great mail order service too!<br />
<br />
Another new project I took on this week is the monthly Schnibbles quilt. This month the project is Hat Trick, a cute little nine patch.<br />
<br />
I'd better go get busy and get enough quilting done to justify a little sewing time later today! Fortunately and unfortunately warm weather has arrived so tomorrow I will be mowing the yard:() <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSWKQNhZQqN1zSggfCjOLl_gSASDBrGyUUkUhuxIAtx1idNNUgSfVCAtbnSyZGQTnpp-GGROVPekVB0C_lkVAoOeJ9XOF8Wui5WG6qRByH2AHYprJsBqqMhTGsU3AHOsJsCYt21OAZ0X1b/s640/blogger-image-1009971349.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSWKQNhZQqN1zSggfCjOLl_gSASDBrGyUUkUhuxIAtx1idNNUgSfVCAtbnSyZGQTnpp-GGROVPekVB0C_lkVAoOeJ9XOF8Wui5WG6qRByH2AHYprJsBqqMhTGsU3AHOsJsCYt21OAZ0X1b/s640/blogger-image-1009971349.jpg" /></a></div>carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178342342155881464noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871440511674719081.post-42034943270464910052013-04-01T08:41:00.001-07:002013-04-01T08:41:16.241-07:00SpringEven though it has been a cold and dreary Spring in ENC, the flowers are beginning to bloom.

Glad it is finished and hanging on the wall! Lots of piecing getting done the past few weeks. Easy Street is pieced and ready for quilting. Also a pinwheel quilt top that started as a group project has made it to the to be quilted pile. Another batik project is close to being a top. I really need to rev up the quilting. This weekend I will be quilting an Easy Street for a customer. I plan on loading mine when hers is finished and use the same pattern. <br />

This has been a UFO for several years. I ran across it when cleaning the quilting closet recently. After I started A Little Porch Time I realized that I could use the left over fabric from the star quilt but needed to get it finished in order to do that. I don't know why I stashed it away, it had so little to go to finish it. I didn't really think I would like this quilt but now that it is finished and thrown over the rocker in my living room I am really enjoying it. So one more out of the closet! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Y7O2Vj19RfBMmXHqJYRyGQZ9Zd8JH1V4WtZ9EyrYA3lQaREmW8Og2SWYX4OnpmMcXnBlTW1a7MzLKNelgbzl6t0QtE1glSJYnSGlCgxTMlYfijNGcmmYmcmiojZYRnT7W4rQsvEmgOxy/s640/blogger-image--209354946.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Y7O2Vj19RfBMmXHqJYRyGQZ9Zd8JH1V4WtZ9EyrYA3lQaREmW8Og2SWYX4OnpmMcXnBlTW1a7MzLKNelgbzl6t0QtE1glSJYnSGlCgxTMlYfijNGcmmYmcmiojZYRnT7W4rQsvEmgOxy/s640/blogger-image--209354946.jpg" /></a></div>carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178342342155881464noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871440511674719081.post-89266072959057403812013-02-13T17:33:00.001-08:002013-02-13T17:33:08.199-08:00Quilted<br />
Another top from the closet. I made this one to support a pattern designer that I was quilting for at the time, a few years ago. The pattern company was called Two Quik Quilters if I remember correctly. It's one of those that you cut up into shapes and stack and shuffle so each block is different. I have no idea why I chose that border fabric unless it was just because it had all the right colors. This one will be good to take to the beach for Lucky and I to sit on, although Lucky does prefer to lay in the sand so he can get as much sand as possible in his fur to drag back to the car and house. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtmzfLtD2_GaMosbfSB7ihxJ1HaNTS_W3AAy0LZdFvoBvy-TypMA8yBJEpsE7k1aBD15v4qFpFPDCXGhyPYlSDfkEHLl-AVhCg-paQaUSKxtEyccKCm5rI5G919dQfnmyJVk-xTOD0fFEb/s640/blogger-image--304643739.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtmzfLtD2_GaMosbfSB7ihxJ1HaNTS_W3AAy0LZdFvoBvy-TypMA8yBJEpsE7k1aBD15v4qFpFPDCXGhyPYlSDfkEHLl-AVhCg-paQaUSKxtEyccKCm5rI5G919dQfnmyJVk-xTOD0fFEb/s640/blogger-image--304643739.jpg" /></a></div>carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178342342155881464noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871440511674719081.post-5854680428304416072013-02-11T20:44:00.001-08:002013-02-11T20:44:05.052-08:00New ProjectA little porch time.

I'm determined to get all these tubs of scraps stripped up. This may be a life long project.<br />
<br />
Sewing the Easy street blocks together. Block A is finished and I have started on block B. only nine of those, then I can start to put it together.<br />
<br />
I pulled out a top that has been waiting for quilting. Another Christmas quilt, lap sized that was a guild mystery a few years ago. I will stitch down the binding while watching Downton tonight.<br />
<br />
I have also been reading some new blogs and of course found another quilt I want to make. Ordered the book tonight - Stitches on the Porch - I think.<br />
<br />
Onto to binding. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLapZyM1GrgzCmNsx7E0g9gJsgRsBJd5T0iY2azLZPLBFY3Ix_i-BSod-RvRKnORjRpkT7YaRCYurKpYcEJO_YDZ2Zf5KdXQPL0hbAjFEAaXCJ-hTgmuSuzY6YA5k4fQWf_Jmvip_QDmzj/s640/blogger-image--1065484501.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLapZyM1GrgzCmNsx7E0g9gJsgRsBJd5T0iY2azLZPLBFY3Ix_i-BSod-RvRKnORjRpkT7YaRCYurKpYcEJO_YDZ2Zf5KdXQPL0hbAjFEAaXCJ-hTgmuSuzY6YA5k4fQWf_Jmvip_QDmzj/s640/blogger-image--1065484501.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSpoQsl506VUZpC2Y9Dt6UzFcW9-WOoeiu7carIRm0sVBvncuMXBJzHManWiUdAd7NzOXsvNImqjZnwVxxztw9636VgxhkIKo2TcKUlIhhgql7J7C2mv2QLWXxSaK5COSlpLU-vM6MOYGz/s640/blogger-image--1599497329.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSpoQsl506VUZpC2Y9Dt6UzFcW9-WOoeiu7carIRm0sVBvncuMXBJzHManWiUdAd7NzOXsvNImqjZnwVxxztw9636VgxhkIKo2TcKUlIhhgql7J7C2mv2QLWXxSaK5COSlpLU-vM6MOYGz/s640/blogger-image--1599497329.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaV7tlHn3jevhdoXWomSlZld0j4X2hPUHL86Uvu_YGgCavnUurc-SlSwn1f3qNrCXXyWMSdHglxPKfaQFottOWnU0HuXnjrwR7n3K8c3ji-Csy60CdVn20q7IMhn29DSN0-8fc9c52gaLO/s640/blogger-image--913974956.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaV7tlHn3jevhdoXWomSlZld0j4X2hPUHL86Uvu_YGgCavnUurc-SlSwn1f3qNrCXXyWMSdHglxPKfaQFottOWnU0HuXnjrwR7n3K8c3ji-Csy60CdVn20q7IMhn29DSN0-8fc9c52gaLO/s640/blogger-image--913974956.jpg" /></a></div>carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178342342155881464noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871440511674719081.post-81520433108336016742013-01-13T19:06:00.001-08:002013-01-13T19:06:39.921-08:00Summer?A little change of pace today.

The quilt is the product of a block exchange with friends in memory of Marlene Ball. Marlene was an avid quilter and an exceptional person.

<br />
The quilting design doesn't show up much on the front so also included a picture of the back. Also a picture of the entire quilt that I finished earlier in Dec.<br />
<br />
So today it will be taking down the Christmas decorations, cleaning and a little sewing. I'm going to try and tame my scraps and stash-they are taking over. Going to at least get started on that.<br />
<br />
A couple of goals for this NewYear will be to work on a wool project. New adventure for me. I bought the BOW in wool from Primitive Gatherings last summer. It is neatly boxed up and waiting for me. I know I won't be doing a block a week! <br />
<br />
I have a set of beautiful embroidered blocks that my dear friend Sylvia was working on. Just a few stitches to finish the embroidery and then I will set them in a quilt. I have given the design a lot of thought, just need to find the perfect fabric.<br />
<br />
Of course the getting organized goal is always on my mind but I still need to work on that!<br />
<br />
Happy NewYear! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ9RLI-5eIMdRdM_Oin2QQau0LHTCIYIQK9GK9pVB9gcyH3hPHjk4h97_mszVaTUQqmaisYdvpdtrOy7_D0Bm2j7gRcixnvHehzaSnQ5wA27kftYE5adYvwSyDXKKxgyY85Uf1z9x0-d7l/s640/blogger-image--1200482552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ9RLI-5eIMdRdM_Oin2QQau0LHTCIYIQK9GK9pVB9gcyH3hPHjk4h97_mszVaTUQqmaisYdvpdtrOy7_D0Bm2j7gRcixnvHehzaSnQ5wA27kftYE5adYvwSyDXKKxgyY85Uf1z9x0-d7l/s640/blogger-image--1200482552.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyDXdqLTifAPnTqx8CUj1UO97Z7ozfmDqch_FcK0K8lHOUS5EMSxH0d-S_ZlS4Fkw8cSGhyphenhyphenpHqXsN1xo-I1DHHqiWFzmM1EVQ0FmcqThY5NHwo5w2N4t-MHtvyRwkBE06hUGxx1ghKPi1/s640/blogger-image-1489794998.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyDXdqLTifAPnTqx8CUj1UO97Z7ozfmDqch_FcK0K8lHOUS5EMSxH0d-S_ZlS4Fkw8cSGhyphenhyphenpHqXsN1xo-I1DHHqiWFzmM1EVQ0FmcqThY5NHwo5w2N4t-MHtvyRwkBE06hUGxx1ghKPi1/s640/blogger-image-1489794998.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfEDxhEzwtprZ8jL9qpQuGuQQRykJ8vf2TIMlSSlC4EKazCXqJJWbYr5b_xfSRj4cQzax-D5QMg3W_8WuoKReEz2DVFkRWxtLD_8Ky57dD0Qp1kPJ7lR7Ops5cYviARRmiD_-yC2iZeVNX/s640/blogger-image--662784091.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfEDxhEzwtprZ8jL9qpQuGuQQRykJ8vf2TIMlSSlC4EKazCXqJJWbYr5b_xfSRj4cQzax-D5QMg3W_8WuoKReEz2DVFkRWxtLD_8Ky57dD0Qp1kPJ7lR7Ops5cYviARRmiD_-yC2iZeVNX/s640/blogger-image--662784091.jpg" /></a></div>carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178342342155881464noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871440511674719081.post-33027043931010362912012-12-29T11:05:00.001-08:002012-12-29T11:09:41.086-08:00For FayeHere ya go.

The 2008 designer mystery is finished. Put the final stitches in on Christmas Day.<br />
I failed to purchase the finishing kit so I had to wing it. I have one more Christmas quilt on the machine.

load. I seem to be having a lot of trouble with this new format. I bought the Nearly Insane book quite a few years ago and started collecting civil war fabrics to make it. Every time I pulled it out I guess it was just too intimidating and I shoved it back in the closet. I saw a picture of Bonnie Hunter working on hers and that made me think about making one again. So I went completely left with the fabric choices. I am using Marmalade, Bliss and Ruby and will mix in some batiks as well. So I have one block finished and 94 to go! I will try again tomorrow to get the picture of the whole block to load as well as the quilts from retreat.<br />

Yesterday was my birthday. I decided to go on a little adventure. I have been wanting to get out and see some of the attractions in the area and thought yesterday was a good day to start. I had heard about a little town called Oriental. It was a favorite hang out for pirates in the early days. Since the 1960's it has become the sailing capital of NC. Lots of summer and weekend homes for folks in the nearby cities. I called Sherry and invited her to come along with the kids, to my surprise she was willing to take the little road trip. I had researched the trip route and noted that one route included a ferry ride. I made a mental note to avoid that route - not knowing the cost or time involved. Well that was the day before out little trip so I had forgotten all about the ferry when I put the destination into the GPS and mindlessly followed those driving directions. So we ended up on the ferry, which turned out to be free - imagine that! Not a long wait or a long ride and the kids were thrilled. Not much happening in Oriental, just beautiful sailboats and scenery! Oriental is located on the Neuse River, the widest river in the US - according to the facts I read on the internet :}<br />

These three quilts were made by Sally Collins. Her work is just amazing. Although I will never be making anything using such small pieces I feel that I learned a lot from her lecture that I can incorporate into my quilting, that is if I ever get back into it again. Seems like a long dry spell.<br />

Visited with my son and his family. It was great to spend some time with them! The grand kids are growing like weeds. I also attended the Ales Anderson retreat in Livermore. Great retreat - Sally Collins was the guest speaker, wow what an awesome program. This retreat was bittersweet without my dear friend Sylvia but it was nice to be with other people who knew and loved her too. <br />
<br />
I wanted to post some pictures, took tons of them. I have some amazing quilt pictures. Can't seem to get them to upload.

I don't remember the name of this one exactly. Goose in the Pond maybe. Anyway it is finished, binding and all. I practiced quilting fill stitches on this one. It's okay, probably should have used a panto on it.<br />
<br />
Still working on Swoon. There has been a pretty big lull in sewing around here. Too much rain, seems all I do is mow the yard. I have been prepping Friends for Christmas to take to retreat with me, hopefully to stitch on the plane. Also prepping a paper piecing project to work on. carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178342342155881464noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871440511674719081.post-9908580207572932012012-07-05T11:15:00.002-07:002012-07-05T11:16:27.635-07:00Elizabeth and Swoon<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Elizabeth, a Miss Rosie's Quilt Co design, is finished! Finally. My friend and I both bought fabric to make this quilt together a few years ago when we were vending at a quilt show in New Hampshire. We started the quilt and managed to get together several times to sew but then both got busy and it went by the wayside. So I decided it was time to get it done. I love it. I forget the name of the fabric line - I know it is by Moda. I think it is such a pretty color combo. My friend Jane saw a picture of my finished quilt and is now anxious to get hers done.<br />

Then onto the Swoon blocks. I have been working on these since the end of March I think. I don't know why it is taking me so long to get them finished. I hope to work on them this afternoon.<br />
<br />
I accomplished a little house cleaning this morning as well as running errands. Then it was home to wait for the Direct TV guys to come and switch me over from cable. I had been wondering about the underground lines but just figured they would have a way to mark them since nothing was said about any preliminary arrangements I had to make. Well guess what, they do not have any way to mark underground lines so had to reschedule. Since digging in involved in installing a line I think that issue should have been addressed. Go figure. Also they cannot share a wall with the cable company for my Internet so suggested laying an external line across my carpet to the present location of my TV. Really? Not sure how they are going to hook up the TV in the living room, guess I should ask before I have wires strung the length of the house. I'm going to make that phone call and then have a glass of wine and sew, sew, sew.carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178342342155881464noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871440511674719081.post-12599212559837649952012-06-24T10:16:00.001-07:002012-06-24T10:18:32.511-07:00Indiana, June 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just got home from a trip to IN to visit with my daughter Noelle and her family. I went with Sherry, Kendall and Grady. Sherry's husband Brandon is deployed right now so it was good for Sherry and the kids to get a little break. We all had a great time playing in the pool. It was a nice break but now it's time to catch up on the yard work!carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01178342342155881464noreply@blogger.com2
