Odds and Ends from Becca's Crazy Projects

Don't let anyone tell you that craft doesn't have value. It has value just like other things that take time and dedication to learn and master. This is my very favorite tote. I use it to hold a current project because I'm crafty and proud. I bought this machine embroidery design from Urban Threads Embroidery.

What is this? Evidently, something way more important than I could have imagined. This little wire tie was holding a bundle of cables on the back of my long arm. Evidently, it was stressed enough to give up. Most of the time ...

Sage and Sea Glass Stars from Appalachian Quilts

Another flimsy is a flimsy no more! When Kim Diehl's Sage and Sea Glass Stars line came in, I just saw this design as a good way to show off all the fabrics in the line. I love scrappy. For whatever reason, this one just screamed farmhouse decor to me. Maybe it is the muted colors. This line didn't feel like a 'typical' Kim Diehl line, but I did love it!

It was fun matching up backgrounds for the star blocks, but I had to let me OCD go when I worked on the nine patches. For a ...

A Day Late And A Dollar Short from Appalachian Quilts

I giggle on the insides when I catch myself using phrases or sayings that Pops used to use. When I started quilting this topper, I knew I wouldn't get it done in time for Halloween decorating. So, I knew I was going to be a 'day late and a dollar short'.

Now that the house remodeling has progressed to a good point, I really want to get back into decorating for different holidays. Non-specific quilts are a good addition for this. What do I mean by that? For example, red & white quilts can serve for multiple holidays. They can ...

Tool Tip Wednesday from Becca's Crazy Projects

On Saturday I broke my retractable holder for my snips. I slip the click onto the collar of my shirt so my scissors are always handy when I'm working with the long arm. This also ensures I don't leave them on the surface of the quilt.

Thankfully, I had a back up clip in my desk. The scissors are Fiskars micro-tip. They are perfect for keeping next to your sewing machine or in your sewing bag. I'm pretty sure I have three pair: one in my hand sewing kit, one for my long arm, and a third ...

Charity Quilting from Becca's Crazy Projects

This fun little quilt was created with the use of at least three quilters. One pieced the blocks.

A second assembled the blocks into a quilt top.

And a third quilted the top, batting, and backing together.

I'll hand it back to Rebecca (the second quilter) for the binding. Such a great community project that will find a home through Comfort Cases. What are Comfort Cases? From their website: Comfort Cases are backpacks filled with comfort and personal care items for youth entering the foster care system. Typically, children are given a trash bag to pack up their belongings ...

Bringing it to Life! from Appalachian Quilts

One of my favorite things about being a longarmer is when that quilt is loaded and you start quilting it, there is a 'change' that happens. The top comes to life as it morphs from being a flimsy to a quilt. When I am custom quilting I let the quilt tell me what it wants - usually....if a customer has a vision for what they want, I try to make that a reality.

This time of year there aren't a lot of customer quilts that I get to show you, because they are intended Christmas gifts and we don ...

I dropped off thirteen quilts at the last Annapolis Quilts for Kids meeting. The last of them I will drop off this year.

These little quilts, pieced by other members of Annapolis Quilts for Kids were part of that drop off.

This one included minkie type fabrics. I was more pleased with the result than I thought I would be. I hope it makes someone very happy.

Straddlin from Appalachian Quilts

In my quest to finish up more of the UFOs, I grabbed this little guy off the hanger. He's been hanging out and beckoned to be ready for the holidays. The name of this pattern is Straddlin Santa by The Wooden Bear.

I quilted him with stitch-in-the-ditch and added some snowflakes to the background. He's already hanging up in the shop and ready for the holidays. Sadly, we are now out of this pattern, but we do have his friend Straddlin Witch in stock. Here is what she looks like:

They are whimsical patterns and also make great ...

Cheddar & Coal from Appalachian Quilts

It's no secret that Fall is my favorite time of year. I've talked about it many times on my blog. When it comes to ordering books and patterns, if there is a pumpkin on it I am a sucker! As I was shopping for new fall fabric lines, this free pattern showed up. I instantly saw a cute table topper or wallhanging, and since it had pumpkins....I had to order the whole fabric line!

Just as the food shortages are real, so are the shortages/delays with fabric. There just isn't a lot of fabric available ...

Eureka! from Appalachian Quilts

There are a lot of quilts hanging in the que that hang there for a long time. I have it in my head that I want to custom quilt them. I don't want to tie up the machine for that long because of customer quilts, so they just sit there. I've always had it in my head that I wanted to custom quilt Eureka. It told me it wanted lots of feathers. Momma was in the shop about a month ago and was looking at it. She thought it would look great in her lake house. (That's ...
