Another Baby blanket

2012-01-18T06:36:00.000-08:00

Mom has a great great niece that had a baby girl. So we put our heads together and came up with this quilt. I pieced it and Mom quilted it. I sure wish I could take better pictures of things cause it looks better in person.

Anyway she said that she liked it. So right now we have(I say it lightly) no pending baby's coming. So maybe I can get ahead of the game. I love doing baby quilts because they are so fast and pretty.

No on to the next project. I will be posting again soon. Mom is finishing up another grand child's blanket.

Take care until than.

Diaper Bag

2011-12-29T06:01:00.003-08:00

Well After two months of trying to put this diaper bag together I am done. I can say it has ate my lunch. If I ever do this one again I am going to do some modifications to it. i think it turned out real cute.
I also made this little bag to put wipes or diapers in.That was the easiest one to do.
Than I made these two burp rags. I know one is longer than the other. The blue one I did first than decided to make it a little longer.

Now with all that done I can get back to my quilting. I feel deprived.

I hope that everyone has a Happy New Year and that you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Raggie Ann Dolls and Wall Hanging

2011-12-12T12:23:00.000-08:00

Well I finally finished my dolls and this wall hanging. i have been wanting to do the dolls for my grand daughters for Christmas. Now I can mail it to them.

This wall hanging I did on my new sewing machine. My daughter just loves it so it is her Christmas or birthday present. Haven't figured out which one yet.

Now I can start new projects for the new year. Hopefully I can finish them by the end of next year.

Bsby Girls Quilt

2011-12-01T15:23:00.000-08:00

You have seen this quilt before but I just wanted to show it off because I am done with it. I hand quilted it and I quilted along the little girl so she will stand out better.

Now I just need to fit in time to do the diaper bag for my customer.

Boy's baby blanket

2011-11-29T06:01:00.000-08:00

I have finally finished this little boy blanket for my customer. With all that has been going on it has taken me longer to finish it. Now I just have to get her diaper bag done. Well now that Thanksgiving is done maybe I can finish it.

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I did. The week before my sister Jeanette from Inch Worm fabrics came to see Mom. The day after she left one of my brothers son's came down and a few days later his other son came down. Than on Friday my brother and his sweet wife came up. We all had a nice time.

Now we have Christmas around the corner. We will have all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. So please lets not get lost. Remember what the season is for and enjoy.

This is what I have been doing over the weekend

2011-11-14T11:01:00.000-08:00

I have finished my dragons and than I did my pretty girls. Now all I need to do is quilt them. Mom will quilt the dragon and I will do the girls. I love my new machine it is so wonderful to play with.

My dragons

2011-11-11T04:50:00.001-08:00

Well my sister at average quilter had gave me dragons. I have been wanting to do them but it seem like I could not find the time. And plus still a little nerves about my machine. Than I saw her dragons and I had to do mine too. So they are not perfect but for a first timer they are not bad.

Thank you sis.

Steve's quilt finished

2011-11-04T14:33:00.000-07:00

Well mom finally finished Steve's quilt. After all the hospital visit and all. So she is down to about to 7 1/2 quilts left.

What Barb sent Mom

2011-09-13T12:22:00.000-07:00

Mom wants to thank you for the fabric and stuff. She will enjoy making something out of the Dr. Seuss material.

What to do What to do

2011-09-12T09:32:00.000-07:00

Well I have a busy couple of days. We had a friend call us Saturday and she told us that she had about 12 tubs of fabric to come and get them. So we did and this is a pic of them.

So now What to do. Well first went to town and messed around with my daughter. Than now what am I going to do. HUM. Haven't figured it out yet but I want to play on my machine but I also want to rummage. Oh well I will figure it out.

Lookie Lookie

2011-09-09T13:30:00.000-07:00

I got this in the mail today. My sister Margaret from the average quilter and my brother Jim bought me this sewing machine. They bought for me in appreciation for taking care of our mother. I told them they should not have done it because I would do what I do no matter what. But it is really appreciated. I can't wait to play on it. So I am reading all the material this weekend so I can play on Monday. I left it up at my moms house for I will have the grand kids the last weekend of this month than they will go to NC.
Than my niece Carly sent me all this thread. I feel like it is my birthday. So let me say THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Stay tune to see what I come up with. But it will be about a week before I post anything.(so I can get used to the machine)

Diaper Bag

2011-09-06T05:41:00.000-07:00

.
As most of you know my Mom has been in the hospital. Well she got out a week ago. She is doing good. My daughter Anya stay around the house with her so I could go see my grand daughters over the weekend. Mom said that she really enjoy her. I wanted to go to my kids for they are moving to North Carolina. He is a marine. They only live 5 1/2 hours away now going to change to a lot more now.

Well I got off track. Here is the diaper bag that I made while Mom and I were recuperating. I liked it so well I am making 2 more.

My pretties

2011-08-16T13:35:00.000-07:00

This is a quilt for one of my great niece's. When mom and I were doing quilts for the wee one's we had forgot a few. I am sorry but we are fixing that little over site. We have one more to go.
This is a quilt that I have been working on for about 8 months. It is for my son Troy's girlfriend. It is hand quilted by the piece. I don't know why I put myself through all that but I do. The end result is the best.
This has nothing to do with quilting. I have a first cousin that makes these pictures out of wood. It sticks out of the frame. Well this is a picture of the house that my mother was born and raised in. There are so many memories from this house. It no longer stands but now we have this to refresh our memories. I told mom all that it needed was trees and memaw's flowers.

Another Baby Alphabet Quilt

2011-08-01T07:05:00.000-07:00

Before our Mom left to go out of town with my sister Margaret ( the average quilter) we had put together another baby quilt for my niece. And I know I am slow about posting. I have been trying to finish a quilt that I have been doing for the last 7 months. I hand quilt so it takes me a little longer than most. But I am almost there.
The baby quilts I piece and my mom quilts them on the machine, than I use the kwik bind that my mother got for mothers day. (One day she will learn how to use it, but until than I will do it).

Hope everyone of you are having a great summer.

Toni's Quilt

2011-07-11T07:35:00.001-07:00

Finally got another quilt done. Now I have only 8 1/2 quilts left. Tried to get a good picture of the back and of the border but my camera is not that good.

Toni you will have to wait until next week to get your quilt. When your mom and I come down.

Blue Delight Quilt

2011-07-05T11:45:00.000-07:00

I said that I would not put a quilt on my blog until it was quilted. But there is always exceptions to the rule. I have been wanting to make a quilt out of these colors. Well I did and I love it. So here it is but it is not quilted(I have a long line of quilts before it).

Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful 4th of July. I love our country and appreciate the service men and women who protect it. Not just because I have a son who is a marine.

Blue Star Quilt

2011-06-30T07:10:00.000-07:00

My sister from Average Quilter and I quilted this quilt. She used her quilting machine. This is the back of the quilt.
This is one of the squares that i had hand quilted.
This is the part were my sister used her quilting machine.
This is the end of the project that she and I did.

I gave this quilt to a friend. Her and her husband just loved the quilt. She keeps on thanking me for it. All I can say it was my pleasure to do this quilt with my sister. And I love giving a quilt to someone who really loves and appreciates it. She said that both of us did beautiful work.

Thank You Margaret for your help. We need to do it again(I get them done faster that way). Debbie wanted me to tell you thank you and she really loves the quilt.

Kwik Bind

2011-06-28T12:47:00.000-07:00

Well here you go. I have been playing with the kwik bind. It did not go so well at first. I did this blanket and took it out. My sister Margaret from the average quilter told our mom that instead of having the machine side ways like they say to put the machine back the way it goes. Well I did that and it went great. Now I can't wait until I have another quilt to bind. With any luck I will have another one this weekend.

By the way I got the material for this quilt from my sister's store inch worm fabrics. I just love these panels.

What I did last week

2011-06-21T05:15:00.000-07:00

Last week I had my grand kids. My son lives in OK and he had to have surgery so I had the pleasure of keeping these two lovely girls.

We really had a good time. There is nothing like grand kids. So needless to say I got no quilting done. But the week before I did finish a quilt. I will take a pic of it later and put it on the blog. I just had to show off my pretty girls.

Boys Baby Quilts

2011-06-15T09:38:00.000-07:00

Last week Mom and I out these two quilts together. I pieced them and she quilted them on the machine. We got the material from my sisters store Inch Worm Fabrics. She has some very nice material in her store. If you have never been to her store just click on the link and it will take you to it.

Good and Bad

2011-06-06T06:47:00.000-07:00

I don't have any pictures at this time. I just wanted to say I have been busy.

Well My last child graduated May 27. It sure was a sad thing but a good thing too. Sad because he is the last one of four. But I am proud of him. It sure was a hard road for him. Have no pictures at the time yet but I will soon.

Than Sunday night at 9:30 while I was talking to my daughter she had a wreck. Boy was I scared. A drunk driver ran a stop sign and hit her and her husband. The car was total. But the good news is they walked out of it. She has a black eye from hitting the door window and bruised her knees. Her husband got a busted lip, two staples in his chin and hurt his shoulder a little. It could of been a lot worse for they were not wearing their seat belts(lesson learned). I am thankful they are alright.
So this last week I have been helping them out. Which I am happy to do.

Oh yea the other bad thing is they guy that hit them had no insurance. But my daughter had full coverage.

I am thankful for all my family and friends. An experience like this makes you glad that you have both. So please everyone be careful and watch out for those who think they don't have to do the right thing.

Kwik Bind

2011-05-19T05:21:00.000-07:00

This is what my Mom got for Mothers Day from my sister the Average Quilter. We both can't wait until we have a quilt done so we can try it . When we do we will let you know how we liked it.

Matts Baby Blanket

2011-05-18T06:08:00.000-07:00

This is for my nephew Matt. he is in the navy. They are expecting a little boy. When Mom did his quilt I just thought it would be neat to do the baby one in the same material. I waited until they got the quilt because I wanted it to be a surprise. They love it.

Ava's Outfit

2011-05-12T05:20:00.000-07:00

I have been meaning to put this on the blog. But just haven't had a chance. Well this was Ava's Easter outfit. I was told both of the girls loved their outfit and wore them on Easter. I am just waiting for pictures.

Well I hope everyone had a Happy Easter and all of you Mothers had a wonderful mothers day.

Livie's Easter Outfit

2011-04-14T08:43:00.000-07:00

I decided to try and make my two grand babies an outfit. Well here is Livie's. I sure hope it fits her. She is 2 years old but a very big 2. Now today I am going to try and get Ava's done. She is 4 and she also is a very big girl. Well they aren't big they are just tall.

First Quilts

2011-04-05T06:31:00.000-07:00

I don't have any pictures of my first quilts and I don't know if my first son still has his. But the first quilt I can remember is I took some different blue material and made 8 inch squares (I think) and the I tied it. It turn out cute so I decided to make a brown one for son number 2. I know son number 2 does not have his anymore. That was about 20 years ago.

Well when I first started sewing quilts son 1 told me he did not want a new quilt just that one fixed. I told him that he was going to get a new one. So he got a new one. If he still has it I will get him to take pictures of it.

After I did those I went into cross stitching. Than about 4 to five years ago may be longer I picked up quilting not tying my quilts anymore.

I missed out on all the quilting when I was growing up. Yes mom quilted but everyone was so much older than I was.(well 6 to 8 years). I was just the little girl in the way. But now I am not. I have so enjoyed quilting and piecing with my mom and sister(if we don't do it together we at least talk about it). It is so nice to have something in common with them now. Boy life sure is different when you get older.

Have a nice day and enjoy your family. They are the best.

Bev

Jessica's Quilt

2011-03-30T07:25:00.000-07:00

Mom has finished another quilt for her grand daughter. Jessica is the daughter of my brother Jim. Mom had pieced this quilt.

My sister from The Average Quilter had just gotten her machine and needed some quilts to practice on so mom decided to let her so this one. She did a beautiful job doing this quilt.
If you have any quilt tops that need to be done she now quilts for the public. So go on by and see her blog she has what she charges on there and she does a very good job.

Quilt Show

2011-03-09T11:10:00.000-08:00

Well my sister Margaret came down to mom's for the weekend. So happens Mom and I found out that there was a quilt so in Texarkana, TX.

So we went to the quilt show. My daughter Anya went with us. They had door prize and my sister and I won. So this is what we got for the door prize. Isn't it sweet. But my sister gave her to our mother. But piggy me kept mine.

They had some really nice quilts at the show. And I was thinking. My work looks almost(or better then some). So I might get me a quilt together and put into the next one. So we will see. Have a good day and keep on quilting.

Matt's Quilt

2011-03-07T11:05:00.001-08:00

Today is about Matt. He is our brother's first born. Mom has finished his quilt and here it is. He is in the Navy. Has been for over 10 years now. He has a wife and 4 kids and one on the way. I hope that he enjoys his quilt(which all the grand kids love it when their granny makes them something).

Tomorrow I will let you all know what we did this weekend. Have to have something for tomorrow to post. So see you then.

Somoan and Baby Quilt

2011-03-01T11:21:00.000-08:00

Well Jeanette here you go. The pink baby quilt we got the material from Inch worm fabrics. It turned out real sweet.

The wild print is made from Somoan fabric the my sister Barbara got when she was over there. You can also get the Jelly Roll from Inch Worm Fabrics. This quilt was not in my comfort zone for all the colors, but it turn out really sweet. I am taking a lesson from sister Barbara and trying to go out of my comfort zone. Thinking about quilting this on my machine.

Boy did we get snow

2011-02-06T06:18:00.000-08:00

Boy did we ever get the snow. I haven't seen this much snow since I left South Dakota. But I am sure glad we don't get that much snow.

I love sitting at the window and watching it snow but that is all I like about it.

We had a couple of problems here two days before it snowed. The wind chill was about 5 degrees which we never get. Had my water running and guess what yea you got it the hot water froze. Husband was out of town and would not get in until the next night after dark. So my sweet daughter Anya's husband Joe fixed it for me. Steve(my 19 year old son) would of but he had school and than work right after. So you have to be thankful for those son-in-law's.

Snow is all gone for now but more on the way. At least that is what they say. So everyone please stay warm and hope you pipe's don't freeze.

Kevin's Quilt

2011-02-03T10:21:00.000-08:00

Well Mom finally got another quilt out of her list done. This one is Kevin's quilt (My sister Barbara's oldest son). It turned out really nice. Sure hope he likes it. Mon only had this quilt in her frame for about 3 to 4 weeks. If she keeps this up she will be done in no time at all.

I hope everyone is staying warm.

2011-02-02T12:37:00.000-08:00

Well we have finially finished these two baby quilts. Now we just have one more that needs to get done. Than we can go onto other baby quilts that we don't to hurry to get done.

Come back soon and I will have another quilt finished by mom. She has just pulled a quilt out of the frame and put another in.

I hope everyone is doing good in this cold weather.

Animal Baby Blanket

2011-01-25T13:20:00.000-08:00

This is a panel that my sister Jeanette from Inch worm fabrics. The panel was for a soft baby book. Mom and I decided to make this into a baby blanket.

We would love making more baby blankets just to have around when someone has a baby than we would not have to hurry and get one done.

But every time we get close to having one done there is someone who is going to have a baby.

It seems like we are back in the baby boom era again. We have about 3 more blankets that have to be made than we can make them for a little stock pile.

I am back

2011-01-20T13:23:00.000-08:00

Well here is the first quilt that I have finished in the New Year. I started this quilt in Dec and decided to finish the one in the big frame.

Sorry I have not posted in awhile but the New Year hit me with a bang. The first week I was sick and when I thought I was over it, it said bang I am back. Well I hope that I have gotten rid of it now.

But I did not let it get the best of me. Mom and I have 2 nice size plastic tubs full of scraps. Well we got a stripping machine. I put it to work and have one of those tubs stripped.

I also put 2 baby quilts together and put another border on another one. I will show you those as mom and I get them quilted.

Back to the strips....... Well as some of you know my sister Margaret at average quilter has quilted our mothers round robin. She did not put the binding on. And mom got that quilt today in the mail. First thing we did was look at the strips and found the binding for it. Now all she has to do is put it on.

Mom also has a quilt she is almost finished with so please stay tune and don't give up on us. I will try to be better.

Hope you all have a nice and happy weekend

Jim's Quilt

2011-01-04T13:58:00.000-08:00

Mom has finally finished Jim's Quilt. Now she has all of her kids done and she can put all of her time into the rest of the grand kids. It turned out really nice.

I am done YEAH

2011-01-03T14:11:00.000-08:00

It has taken me a year to quilt this quilt. I gave it to my daughter Anya for Christmas. She just loves it. And I just love having it out of my frame. I have done other quilts while this one was in the frame. Now onto the next project.

Troy's Quilt

2010-12-23T05:54:00.001-08:00

This is the quilt mom made for my son Troy. Now she only has 11 more grandkids to go. Troy loves plaid so that is why she made this. It turned out to be very warm.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Turtle Quilt

2010-12-15T11:05:00.000-08:00

Mom and I have been working on the baby quilt for about a week now. It was a lot of hard work. But it was worth every bit of it.

Well Barb no we don't have your tops. But we do have a box that came in for you. Itchy fingers to open it. When you get settled we will send it to you.

Now I have to get back to the quilt in the frame that is almost done. It is calling my name and says it wants out. So now I have to go to the grind.

A special quilt

2010-12-12T08:42:00.000-08:00

Mom wanted to do a special quilt for someone(whom I can't name). So we had this fabric from Inchworm Fabrics. Well I pieced the quilt and mom quilted it. We sure hope the person who gets this quilt will like it.

Hi All

2010-12-10T06:09:00.001-08:00

Thank you for welcoming me to the blog. This is not the post I wanted to do this morning but i could not find the picture of the quilt I was going to post.

Yes I did get a new machine and I am still working out the kinks. When my sister Barbara was in we played with it for awhile. I really wanted her to try it out but she would not. So she helped me to figure it out. We had problems (boy o boy problems). My thread wanted to bunch up and I broke a needle. But all in all we did figure it out a little.

So look tomorrow or later today and I will show you our new quilt that we have done. We got the fabric from inch worm fabrics. Go over and check out her fabric, she has some really nice fabric.

Show your stash

2010-11-16T12:57:00.000-08:00

Well here is our Mother(Faye) and mine stash. We put our stash in her house because when my husband is not home that is where I am at. I sew up there. We decided instead of me bring my material to her house we would combined our material together. So we have more colors to chose from. We don't know where hers begin and mine end. The only thing I take home to do most of the time(unless it is something I am really into) is my quilt to quilt.

I have my quilting frame in my living room and quilt while I watch TV. Our mother has hers in her living room. We both at times have 2 quilts going. Sometimes I take my little frame and quilt at her house.

Don't forget tomorrow is the last day of the 4 sisters and a mom giveaway. Good luck to you all.

I am very proud of my mom and my sisters they are wonderful.

FAMILY ROUND ROBIN OF 2008

2010-09-18T11:35:00.000-07:00

Was it 2008 or 2007?

Least way, I didn't know if some of you follow my other blog so I thought I would put this on the family blog since it is family.

I will confess it was a challenge to get the squares to match, and I had to make two more squares but after all the thinking and fussing, I am pretty pleased with how it turned out....actually thrilled.

Ava and Livie's Princess blanket

2010-09-17T13:34:00.000-07:00

Jim's Quilt

2010-07-01T06:20:00.000-07:00

Mom finally got around to piecing Jim's quilt. She started out with solid colors than we were looking at our stash and came up with these colors. I think it turned out real good. So Jim moms one step closer to having your quilt done.

ROUND ROBIN!!!

2010-01-01T13:26:00.000-08:00

First I want to thank my mother for not being upset with me about not being able to visit her. I didn't get to visit many people while away...oh well. If you were to call and ask me on the phone how I am doing, I would tell you good but in reality I feel horrible. Woke up this morning with congested head, runny nose, tired, and coughing. I just want to be well...that being said....I am making myself do things.

So...when I got home Tuesday night...Wednesday the Round Robin came in the mail...I guess this is the tail end of it. I got mine (which I totally love)....Toni, if you could send me the hearts you did I would like to make another one of those blocks for the other side of the quilt.

I think Jeanette's is the hardest to come up with something....her quilt has so many different colored blocks...so I am making her these....she can put them on any background she wants. These rick racks are varigated and match all the squares in her RR.

Next is Beverly's RR, I made these for her.... I woke up at 4:00 AM on Thursday morning and started sewing, didn't finish until 8:30 that night. got alot done.

Then this for Jennifers Round Robin.

I am hoping to have these out in the mail on Fridays flight...still haven't figured out if they go out on Thrusdays flight or Fridays...what ever....least way on Wednesday I will be at the post office...anyone want me to send something...speak now...

DESIGN BY ME!!!

2009-12-03T13:09:00.000-08:00

I paid a little gal to draw the octopus and then it sat around the house for a few months with ideas floating in my head and then one Saturday I just went to work. It was alot of fun and I think it will take maybe one day to complete. It only took about an hour and a half to do the blanket stitch around the octopus...not bad. This was alot of fun. Now I am making little cloth bags for the instructions to go in to. I tried to order the plastic bags on line but because where I live, it either wouldn't let me or charged me an arm and a leg (even when I was having it shipped to Kevin's)...oh well...these cloth bags are cute and who knows...may be my calling card? I am also including a life size octopus so there will be no enlarging...it is hand drawn but that is okay. I put mine on poster board to make it easier to draw around.

copyright 2009 you can buy this pattern at Inchworm Fabrics in a few weeks

For everyone that is interested I heard from Barbara last night and they are doing fine. Their house is up on the hill. She said her husbands work got flooded but their house is okay. People who had to move to higher ground were parked in her yard and on the street. She lives on the other side of the mountain so she didnt see the tsunmai.

Baby Quilt

I made this baby quilt for a Anya's friend. Now I just have to quilt it.

Anya's Round Robin 2007

2009-09-28T07:58:00.000-07:00

Anya and I decided about 2 weeks ago to finish her round robin. We put it together and she helped me quilt it a little bit. We want to thank everyone who was had a hand in making the squares. We really enjoyed doing this round robin.

Quilt for my mother-in-law

2009-09-28T07:51:00.001-07:00

I made this quilt and decided that my mother-in-law would like it. Now I don't have that many more to do for others so I can start on mine.

Round Robin

2009-09-19T12:05:00.000-07:00

I have heard so many complaints about this RR that it has taken all the fun out of it. I am sorry, if you all would have said something. One complaint was, they hate applique (no one said you had to applique on each block). One said that the finished quilt was not going to be big enough. One said they didn't like this RR...so that is it for me....I will not come up with anymore RR. I am trying not to take this personal...but this was suppose to be fun, not stressful, and was suppose to be a project from family members...could we not just enjoy it as such. So my apologies go out to all of you. Also....Toni, I felt like you did, that I needed to fill the spaces...don't fill them...just do what you want and send them on....then we will call it quits.

Round Robin.....

2009-07-18T21:04:00.001-07:00

So I redid this twice and let's just say I need more pratice. This is for Tony's...

This square is for Maragret's.....not sure I like the orange, but it matches the orange with the birds....

So I tried the machine applique... not very good luck here.... I unpicked it twice and really should unpick it again... but alias I just want to be done with it... I should have done it by hand-- better control... maybe I should blame it on the machine... Sorry Barbara-- this square is for yours.... Please forgive me?

With these three squares in the mail Monday (hopefully).... I am done with my set of squares. I applogize to all of the Round robin participants for using this as a learning tool.... I will get better...
