I know, I know I haven't posted in a few weeks! But hubby went on a tear! You see the little kitchen in the little house needed some TLC. The counter tops were horrid and the paint was faded and sad. One morning my quilt pal and I were on a sewing binge and he just started tearing the old counter covering out!<br />

I think you can see here why he decided it needed to go!<br />

and go it did! Here he is deciding what to do next! Since this day we have been painting with nice fresh white paint on those dingy walls and a fresh coat of lemon yellow on the cupboards, it already looks way better.<br />

Here you can see he is adding a new top to level the counter and make a smooth surface for the laminate to stick to. While all of this is going on the house is a disaster area! Much of it he does without my "help" (I tend to be a bit of a klutz) so I have been doing a small amount of sewing and a large amount of paperwork (still on the job search) each day was a challenge but we are getting close to being done. He has the new laminate stuck down. Now he is doing the wood trim and back-splash which will look amazing. So stand by! Soon like a week or so I will have pictures to share of a completed project. I am SO lucky to have such a talented husband this project has been really inexpensive, without his talent it would not get done at all!<br />

I finally took a day away to just have fun! I went off to a quilt class in paper piecing! A table runner was in the works and I needed a day of no job hunt and no paperwork! Monday nite snow was in the mix on the weather channel and I hoped it would not be 8 or 10 inches my little car is too low to the ground for very much accumulation of snow. Yesterday arrived and there was not really any snow.<br />
So off I went. I was sooo happy I got to go. I have missed being with other quilters and I really needed the jolt of inspiration and boy did I get a jolt. What a wonderful bunch. <br />

I cannot believe how fast the days just disappear! I spend lots of time on job apps. then there is the chores to do, otherwise this little house looks like a tornado has gone through. Usually by 11 or 12 I am free to do some sewing. Yesterday I finally started quilting my Orca. This is not exactally an easy thing when you have no floor space to spread things out. But I have a very useful and portable quilting frame that I use to pin baste.</div>

It took about 2 hours when all was said and done but I finally had it pin basted and started qulting it, I was in a bit of shock because miss Tilly ignored the whole process. This is unheard of I was getting a little worried but she was fine. Later I bundled the whole thing on top of my sewing table so I can stitch some more today, ahhhh now I see she was just waiting!<br />

During the process I decided I need to stitch these into groups of four then put them up again! So last evening I got a few of the groups done. I think it will take me a few weeks to get them grouped!joeyqltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562023263373203015noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591418098207411911.post-709056900851245152012-01-27T06:57:00.000-07:002012-01-27T06:57:34.694-07:00The things you find when "stash diving"I have been doing a lot of stash diving lately, looking for various fabrics I want to use. Unfortunately I tend to get side tracked due to finding projects I forgot I am supposed to be working on.<br />
First I find a hand piecing project that I picked up a few years ago while in Texas. Yes I said years! The colors will be beautiful in our fifth wheel, and while we were traveling I got a lot of this done. We would "land" and while relaxing I would work on this. Somehow it got pushed aside.<br />

These are the first four blocks of 20! I have all of the components of all of the blocks ready I simply need to put them together. It is a Jenny Beyer pattern called English Garden. The best part of finding this little jewel is I have only 1 1/2 of my tiny baskets to hand piece and I have been trying to decide what I was going to do in the evenings; now of course I know. I will keep you up to date on progress with this one.<br />

This one is going to be a queen size, no I do not know why I put it away because I really love the design and the colors! I discovered it in the bottom of a box with a double wedding ring quilt in 30s prints! This is the project for my machine for the next few days. Today the weather looks as if it will be perfect for sewing that means I have to get the crock pot bubbling and my chores done!<br />

See my darling Kimber at the bottom of this picture, she has been very upset because Dad has had to leave her home with me for the last couple of days.

It was super cold outside, with high winds and snow flying around. So I put chile into the crockpot, got my chores done (after an early morning nap) dug out all my pieces for Orca Bay and started sewing. Things were going well, the phone was quiet instead of crazy like Sunday and all those little points were behaving. I was completely satisfied and finally making progress again after a couple weeks of not getting anything done on Orca Bay. THEN quality control showed up~<br />

She just proceeded to make herself comfy! I did finally lift her a bit and get enough red strings to continue; it is taking a risk to mess with her when she is comfy but I DID it. I continued on and started putting rows together, I got the first two rows joined and laid them out on the ironing board while I sewed the third row. I was very pleased with myself at this point I might add!<br />

Suddenly they were all stitched and pressed! Today I am going to start stitching the blocks together and turning all this into a full quilt. The weather is perfect for sewing today snowing and blowing, there are black ice advisories as well as no unnecessary travel warnings.

So I was wrong. As it turned out we went to The Quilt Nook! We completely enjoyed ourselves! No we did not spend a lot of money. We did have a wonderful time. I think part of it was that we had not been to any quilt store in a very long time and it was wonderful to just look at all of the terrific fabric, tools and books. There was a time when quilt stores were hit a few times a week and the stash was added to on a regular basis, in fact I did not bat an eye at dropping a few hundred dollars for fabric that I did not even have plans for. It was just buy, buy, buy! Now we are on a fixed income (and it is a very low fix) I have to be very selective what I spend money on. The strange thing is I tend to enjoy quilt stores more- maybe because I truly LOOK at what is available. I only purchase when something is really necessary. I did buy sewing machine needles I purchased two packs and actually got a third pack free. I also got two packs of nickle squares that are Cival War prints for my english paper piecing project, they were on sale as well. I really enjoyed myself though far more than when I just went in and purchased willy nilly! I have noticed several changes in my attitude concerning quilting lately in fact. When I first started quilting my boys were small and I was on a limited income, all of my quilts were from scraps either from my sewing or those that people gave me when the learned I quilted. There were not quilt stores as we know them today. All of my pieceing was by hand as well as my quilting, but I found a great deal of joy in those early quilts. I discovered peace in the rythm of my sewing needle. For the last couple of years as I churned out dozens of quilts (many of which are stored as tops because I lost interest and never quilted them) I noticed that joy seemed to be missing! I thought maybe I had "outgrown" normal quilts, so I was very into "art" quilts for awhile. I still enjoy putting together those type of quilts, the freedom of design but they have never given me the joy that an old fashioned bed quilt can. Somewhere in the rush to make every quilt one could imagine I lost touch with myself. Somewhere in the excess I lost the pleasure of the process. I discovered this quite by accident a few months ago when I was sorting through fabric and quilts. I felt I needed to get rid of some of it. I came across a couple of quilts I made a long time ago but I could not part with them even tho they are worn and frayed! Then it came to me, I had loved making those quilts, loved using them and loved looking at them. I was so pleased when they were done and yet I was sad too because they were done. I realized while looking at those old worn quilts that it was the process I enjoyed then. I was in no rush to complete them I just enjoyed working on them. So now I am only making quilts I truly want to make, I take my time while I consider what I want to do. I don't choose a pattern or fabric because it is what everyone else is doing, I choose what I love not what others say is the newest. The result is I am back in love with quilting, those tops that are not quilted will be and they will be shared with someone who really loves the color or pattern. Most important I am finding peace in my quilting again.joeyqltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562023263373203015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591418098207411911.post-86588086413848207882012-01-05T07:17:00.000-07:002012-01-05T07:17:14.121-07:00Sheryl's Birthday quiltA while back I decided I needed to make Sheryl a quilt to snuggle with for her birthday. She has made several quilts that she intended to snuggle under, but alas someone always took them over and she has been left shivering! I started by looking for a pattern that included things she lovea. She loves John Deere but I could not find any patterns with John Deere lots of fabric but none that I thought would fit the plan. She loves hearts, and scrappy quilts, ahhh now this was better! In my patterns I had a wonderful pattern, the original was all in pastels. Now my pal is not a pastel type, she loves the deep rich colors of fall! So that is what she would get! <br />

Here is my version, after a few struggles. One day while I was working on it Sheryl showed up at the house for a surprise sewing day. The hubby saw her coming down the road luckily so I had time to hide the evidence! Then while I was trying to get it quilted and in a rush I might add because the big day was looming close, my quality control decided to test it!<br />

I did not have the heart to move her! She was sooooo comfy! In order to finally get it done I had to put my Orca Bay on hold, now I need to get busy and catch up! Here is another view of this quilt.<br />

There will not be much sewing around here today! My quilting pal and I are heading to town. No we are not hitting quilt stores...............dang! We are both on no buy due to the drated economy and no jobs! But we are doing the normal things girls do when they go to town. You know the drill groceries and have to have stuff. BUT the biggie here is we are doing it together which means it WILL be fun. First off we have about 60 miles to drive while we chatter and yack about all things important. Then we have the WalMart stop where we always have lots of giggles due to some of the crazies (like us) that frequent the store. There may be a Starbucks stop too which is always fun because of the decisions we have to make in order to have coffee! In any case it will be a much needed girl day! Most important it is a day with my pal which have been few and far between of late. Miss Tilly will stay home and guard my sewing corner; in between bouts of chasing her tail.joeyqltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562023263373203015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591418098207411911.post-14236559068107120312011-12-27T08:05:00.000-07:002011-12-27T08:05:32.749-07:00Orca Bay part 6<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since the hubby and I had a very pieceful Christmas weekend, we didn't even put up a tree this year! Which was fine as there is not really room for one in this tiny abode, I decided to spend my time doing what I love! SEWING! I worked on clue six of Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Orca Bay. We are supposed to use our QSTs from clue 1 and 2 1/2 in squares to make Ohio Stars 28 with black squares and 28 with nutral (light) squares. Here I am just beginning on the black.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I use my scrap master ruler by Judy Hopkins to make these little baskets.</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/AVvXsEiZsvFS_D7kimJGLW5gr5Vkb23wL5slixI8CZSZraBT9L26v9pg-2QDfZpvEGtuXZzsCBUvc_Sz3ZztzO5Nf83vvmLmnENWfGHYyfuFAKPVKPura2SBXqqplyoi52Lam4aQMyMsWjZwY_g/s1600/031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZsvFS_D7kimJGLW5gr5Vkb23wL5slixI8CZSZraBT9L26v9pg-2QDfZpvEGtuXZzsCBUvc_Sz3ZztzO5Nf83vvmLmnENWfGHYyfuFAKPVKPura2SBXqqplyoi52Lam4aQMyMsWjZwY_g/s320/031.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The measurements of the ruler are perfect for the size block I am doing, you could add an inch to all the measurements to make a bigger block. You would need to use a different ruler if you choose to do that. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I was shown how to do these a long time ago and have become addicted to them. I have not as yet done a full quilt with them. I have used them for table runners, pot holders, pillows and candle mats. They are quick and easy and I dare you to make just one. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For each little basket block you will need two rectangles measuring 4 1/2 inches X 6 1/2 inches. One is for the background and one is for the basket. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have all of my triangles cut but I got side tracked on those dang little basket blocks. I decided to cut more pieces for my scrappy hand pieced basket quilt, then of course I just had to watch football and piece some! I don't <u>really</u> watch football, it is just an excuse to do hand work. I did get four of the little blocks done though so Sunday was not a complete waste. I got a batch of Rocky Road done too, like I need to be eating high calorie chocolate goodies!joeyqltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562023263373203015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591418098207411911.post-29358468518958061492011-12-15T06:14:00.001-07:002011-12-15T06:34:11.986-07:00Cleaning?

I have 44 more blocks to do to keep up with the Orca Bay mystery. I am afraid if I fall behind I will give up and not finish. But I also really need to clean the house. This is a TINY house, even a small amount of clutter will make it look as if I have not cleaned for months.

It was not healing as well as the doctor felt it should. So off we speed down the interstate to Gillette! My little Focus prefers NOT to run at 75! Well that isn't really true I prefer not to fly down the road at 75 the car likes it fine. She still gets 41 mpg and does so comfortably. But I do not like going that fast! So we speed west right into a snowstorm, not severe just enough to make one nervous. REALLY NERVOUS. We get to the specialists office and of course wait-not very long actually and the doctor is not nearly so worried as the doc at Sundance. He does prescribe some drops and wants Larry back in two weeks. Another day spent dealing with something that could have been prevented if only the man had worn his safety glasses!!!joeyqltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562023263373203015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591418098207411911.post-22444902639996601572011-12-12T05:50:00.000-07:002011-12-14T06:16:52.780-07:00Orca Bay Progress<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Finally about four in the afternoon we each had 20 blocks done. Of course we would have had more done if we had not played around and had so much fun. BUT it would not have been so much fun if we had not clowned around. These sewing days are meant for fun after all and believe me we live up to them!</div>

So I dug through more scraps and started cutting. I am finally using a ruler I got about two years ago- I wish I had tried it before! It makes half square triangles a breeze. It is the Easy Angle and it truly is easy, it omits the need to cut squares first. It is really amazing. If you go to <a href="http://quiltville.com/">quiltville.com</a> you will find not only the ORCA Mystery but a wonderful tutorial on the use of this ruler!joeyqltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12562023263373203015noreply@blogger.com0
