Sewing a little

I have been sewing a little this weekend. :)
I have not taken the time to sew like this in a while, it felt so good.



Here is a close up of the yoyo.



And here is the flower yoyo.



And here is how the cover works. It is so cute, I may have to leave my feather weight out.

Here are some additional image of the covers.




This is the cover I made for the bernina.



And this is the little singer.
You have to make one, it was pretty creative and fun.

Back in the saddle

Yay! I am glad to be home and quilting again.



This is the latest quilt on the frame. This is not a really good photo, but I am thinking it is a nice photo to show some of the color. I just love blue quilts! The color is so timeless on them. This is a customers quilt. She made this for her daughter, I am quilting it with a simple pantograph (just the way she wanted it), I hope she likes it. I will try to post the final photos when I get finished, hopefully this evening.

Tonight is also the dinner and auction that will benefit Neal and his family, so I will not have much time to quilt.

Thanks for looking - star

Finally at market

I am sorry this post is so late, I seem to be having some trouble with my blog.

Here I am at market and I am anxious to get started. Today was the schoolhouse was great. But... I am a little tired. I am now ready to get sewing. I can't wait to get home, sew, sew, sew...



This is a little hard to see but I think you can see the booths are starting.



One more shot and then I have to run off to dinner. I am a little tired, but this day has definitely got me all fired up.

I also want to thank Tim and Kathy for a great dinner, thank you.

Where does all the time go!

Well I have managed to get some time to do some piecing :) nothing makes me happier than cutting up little pieces of fabric, sewing them back together, and pressing them making nice crisp flat blocks.
I have started this quilt, I think it will be a pretty quick pattern made from charm squares and some yardage.


The pattern is Thimble Blossoms, Wild Thing. I am pretty excited to get going on this, and I hope I can finish it before we go off to quilt market.


Here is a look at one of the final blocks. Well, if I am going to finish this I had better get going.


Hopefully I will have my customers little rose quilt finished tomorrow.
I will enjoy finishing it and getting the quilt posted.

What's going on...

Here is a look at what I put on the frame last night. It is a pretty little quilt that has very large boarders. I am in the process of a large feather meander and a bead board boarder.


I am going to have to think on what to do to the center of this one. I am at a loss for what would be just right. Part of me wants feathered wreaths, but they would be so large. I am not a big fan of really large wreaths, bot maybe I can mix it up a bit? I will see, maybe I will have a new post tonight?

It is a new day!

Finally, I am feeling better, and I have moved onto a new quilt :)
I am still not a 100%, and I do get tired pretty early, but... I am getting better. I feel like I can quilt again.


This is a sneak peak at this cute quilt that has beautiful scrappy hearts and the squares that are so perfect for putting a feather wreath. I am always so happy to quilt feathers. I will also be putting feathers into the hearts, and why not the quilt is so perfect for all the pretty feathers.



The feathers are a little difficult to see, but the camera on the iPad is not that good(and my goal is to keep the blog moving by using the iPad as much as possible) so I hope you don't mind too much.
Thanks for letting me ramble on about quilting - star

Lessons learned.....

DO NOT quilt when you are not feeling well. You may have to reverse your stitches. It is sad, it takes 15 minutes to put the stitches in, and then 3 + hours to remove them.
