Beading With Sandy Today from Quilting My Way

Today I was up and TRIED to be out the door on time. I didn't make it. I stopped and picked up coffee and tea for Sandy and I at Starbucks.

Arrived at Sandy's around 9:15 am. We sat down and started beading. I showed Sandy how to finish up her snowman. I worked on mine and found a mistake in my word chart. So, I worked on fixing that.

This is Sandy's "TaDa!" It turned out pretty good. She missed the noise. We laughed about that. She did an awesome job for her first one ...

Another Type of Creativity from Thread Head

With all the renovations going on I haven't had much crafting time, but I did finally get a vest that I have been working on into one piece.

this photo is washed out

It started with the back and knit until the end of the armhole, and then stitches were picked up for each front. Now that everything is joined into one, it is much easier.

closer to the true colour

The pattern is Capture a Cozy Moment by Carol Sunday (a paid for pattern on Raverly). It is a very straight forward pattern, with a lovely brioche collar ...

Queen's Garden by Lennea Wolfe from Esther's Blog

Queen's Garden by Lennea Wolfe

of Olympia, Washington State, USA

'Oh wow' is what I said when I set eyes on these pics..

Lennea has done it again. You might remember her Juliette beauty in stunning black and white with lime accents (click here now to see it for yourself) and now we're lucky enough to see Lennea's Queen's Garden sitting beautifully on her bed. The florals are superb and are the focal point to this beauty. But there's more..

Making Folded Fabric Pine Cone Ornaments from Mulberry Patch Quilts

A customer asked if I’d do a custom order for my folded fabric pine cone ornaments, and I was happy to make some for her.

I love using the Prairie Pointer by Susan K Cleveland. Along with the Woolie Felted Ironing Mat, & my Tailor’s Clapper, it’s the perfect trifecta for ironing crisp and perfect little prairie points.

First, I cut dozens of little squares and fold them in half and iron

Then I center the Perfect Pointer & use it to fold down the sides…slip it under the iron and use my new wooden Riley Blake Tailor ...

Alternate Routes #10 from Tamarack Shack

Tracy also did the Highway 10 Designs 'Alternate Routes' Sew Along at Up North Quilt Shop last year and she chose a black print batik and a very light blue grey batik for the background. I love this colour combination, very modern and masculine. Tracy added a 4" border to hers and it looks very good with the symmetrical layout she picked from the 20 options we offer in the pattern.

I quilted it with the Plush pantograph, used medium grey So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

Found a new observation deck along the Rainy River that works ...

More Pix from Crazy 'bout Quilts

One of the things I love about going to a retreat is the generosity of other quilters. When I asked if I could take a photo of their work they were always happy to allow it. I don't have makers names, or even pattern names, but these were some of my favorite design walls~

If you click on the pix, they will open larger. ;-)

I am planning a unicorn quilt in my future, that pattern is by Elizabeth Hartman

There were design walls all around the gym, even on the floor~

That's it for today~

Until next time ...

Spring Cleaning from Jo's Country Junction

It was one of those “try to stay afloat” weeks for us. With my doctor appointments and Kramer’s crash landing in the ER on Saturday I gave up on anything fun. I decided to clean instead.

Part of that was prompted because Kalissa said she is having a garage sale. Well that had me looking around and getting the spring cleaning itch. Oh, I’d love to clean…and that’s exactly what I did. Thankfully cleaning is something I can do a little of here and there and feel like I got something accomplished.

Kayla was here and ...

Zonsopkomst in Wilp.... from Quilts Van Kippetje en Meer

Op je vrije dag ( 2de paasdag) om zes uur je bed uit om de zonsopkomst op de dijk te fotograferen is iets waar ik lang over nadacht....zal ik het doen?

Maar ik heb zeker geen spijt!

En trouwens, hoe langer je wacht, des te eerder moet je je bed uit....

Op de dijk had ik een prachtig zicht op het oosten...

En een mooie kolk reflecteert de zon en de rode lucht natuurlijk ook heel mooi!

Een duikplank en een verlaten surfplank geven extra contrast...

En toen de zon steeds hoger aan de hemel stond??

Om half acht dook ...

Finley Tote Sew-Along (intro + supplies needed) from Sotak Handmade

Hello, hello everyone!

Are you planning on joining our Finley Tote sew along? Yay, welcome!

I absolutely love how versatile and useful this tote bag is. It's large enough to carry all one needs on a daily basis but is not so huge that you feel like you lug half of your belongings around :).

Finished size of this tote is 13'' tall x 10'' wide on bottom x 4'' deep.

And, there are so many possibilities for customization to fit one's needs. You can make exactly the same tote as the one pictured above, you can also choose ...

Letting an old project go from The Academic Quilter

(This is a giveaway post!)

Hi everyone! How was your week? It has been a busy, busy time around here! There are big changes coming at the AQ household, none of which I'm prepared to share with the interwebs just yet, but all of which mean that there is a great deal to do and not enough hours to do it.

With all of the busy-ness around here this week, along with some of our obligations associated with Easter, I have barely sewn a single stitch. And I missed something important, too-- two weeks ago this blog turned five ...
