Two Flimsies Complete

I completed my Temecula Treasure Hunt top. So glad to have it the top stage.

And on the scrap string produced this top.  There is another batch which will make a similar top. 

A Quilty Post

Processing Scraps

My sewing room looks like a tornado had landed.  I did get through a big bag of scraps.  I put them through the AccuQuilt cutter and also stripping them.  I have a bunch cut for large flying geese.   Some are already sewn.  One of these days I needs to sew a bunch of string blocks to get them under control.  Enjoy my messy pictures!

Creating....

Yesterday I finished the baby for P.

I love how it turned out.

I've had this bags of pink coins begging to be sewn.  Well they screamed loud enough this morning.

So I turned them into a work of art.  I took an unusual African fabric and paired it with the pink coins.

Love it!  It will become a baby quilt for a friend.

Hope you have fed your soul with needle and thread today?

Feed Me Said the

Sewing machine so I did, all weekend long.  It was spring meeting for the Quilters of SC in 

Spartanburg.  Denise and I always make a long weekend when these events are held.  So aside from the meeting Saturday we hunkered down and sewed away. Got lots done.  A bag of scraps cut down to two inch strips, a big bag of scraps turned into 31 MAM (mile a minute) quilt blocks that finish at 8 inches.  My set up in our room.

Denise took a bag of scraps and cannot stop making these cute flower pins.

Cute.

The scholarship quilt which I made and donated was awarded today.  A fellow quilter won it so I know it will be well cared for.

Excuse the finger in the picture lol.

Time Off

After a long few months of working late, I am off for some comp time.  

Today I sewed some crumb blocks or mile a minute blocks.  33 of them.  My sewing machine was smoking hot!  

These blocks will be made into a love quilt or two.

And I have enough scrap stuff for a pet bed.

I have managed to get a few more Jane blocks completed.

The top left one may get redone as I'm not happy with it.

I plan to sew all week.

Making a mess

And loving it. Working on crumbs and strings with green as a main color. I didn't even make a dent. How does that happen?

This past weekend was our state quilt guild meeting held this year in Anderson SC. Denise and I always make it a girls weekend. It's always fun!











And yes I cleaned up my mess before checking out.

Two tops assembled

I assembled this top last night. I constructed the center and the sides were from the parts bag.



In an attempt to reduce my loads of 2.5 X 4.5 bricks I've been sewing long strips. This is NOT reducing the amount ANY lol.
I put this one together this morning.

Strings and things

This week I have been working on reducing the string bucket. I use a big kitty litter bucket and it holds a lot. Of course the kitties think it's play time with the scraps all over the floor. I have a good size pile of wonky log cabin blocks. I'll show them in the next post.

My rowenta iron died last night in the middle of sewing..............What's a girl to do? Can't be without a iron.... So I dug around in the closet and pulled out my other rowenta steam generating system. I had put it in the closet because it had started leaking. Well so far so good. But in the mean time I have a friend at the Knoxville Quilt Show who is bringing me a iron and some other goodies. Aren't friends wonderful.

New Project

Blogger has had its way with the photo order. Rrrr.

I recently found a booklet (given to me) and loved the quilt on the cover. After studying it I engineered the pattern. Using my accuquilt go cutter I cut the star points and assembled them. The corner stone pieces of the star block came from the already assembled bag. So sewing the block is FAST. For the snow ball block I cut 9.5 inch squares. From another bag of already cut triangles I added the color corners.

The bags of prepared units are one of my ways to process scraps of fabric. I never tire of working with scraps.

I've got more blocks to make and am already thinking of how I want the border to look.

Pet Quilts, Scraps and Make Do Light Box

Here are the latest pet quilts I took to the animal hospital in town. They really appreciate these and the animals just love them.

I needed a light box (I don't have one) and took my sewing machine extension table and placed a ott light underneathe and walah. A light box!!!

I received my Double Wedding Ring GO Die and had to experiment. I used the solid arc and created this little quilt top. It'll be going to the animal hospital when its quilted. I did learn a few things sewing it together. So it was good practice.

A friend, Joyce gave me a pile of scraps and I have been playing with them. They are SO MUCH FUN!!! Thanks Joyce. Always appreciated. :-)))

Mr FQ wants to get the computer so I think I'll go continue with my applique...

My latest project

This is my latest project. A good sized lap quilt for a friend. She'll really like it for her couch...

I've been trying to empty or reduce the 2.5 inch blocks and 2.5 inch strips (so I can process some more). I have always wanted to try this pattern. I love it and it goes together SO QUICKLY. I double stitched the light triangles (started with squares) and have bonus parts. I debated the border and a dark 3 inch strip won. What do you think about the pattern and or the colors?

I loaded the top this morning and I plan to quilt it today in addition to other quilty things.

Sebastian was my constant companion in the sewing room. He is doing much better since his steriod shot. He is hardly coughing at all and runs around with Tinker Belle like a kitten.
