The butterfly Quilt is almost complete!

I started sewing the blocks to each other last night (or was it this morning) and next is sewing the rows together.

I’m filming a video of each step … and the process is taking me longer!!

I’ll be adding a voiceover to all the videos … because the noise around our house is CRAZY!

Quick post today … must film three paper crafting videos real quick.

See ya!

p..s sorry about the lighting in picture … I forgot I had a filter on my phone and by the time I realized it  …. I had already started sewing my blocks.

Quilts In Process

I’m working on two quilts at the moment ….

I’m wrapping up Kim’s quilt … just need to finish ironing the rows and attach them.

The 2nd quilt is … I’m filming a video on how to make the Butterfly Quilt … I’m half way done.  Thank you for requesting it!!

I’m about to start a third quilt.

I woke up with an idea … and I’ll admit  I’m a tad afraid!!   I may not be thinking it all the way through … but you never know.

I’m looking for another Go To Quilt … I’ve done so many Jelly Roll Race Quilts that I could do them in my sleep …. and I’m looking for another one …. one that is so easy you don’t have to look at the instructions.    If my idea works …. I’ll have two go to quilts!

Next month I’m traveling to Saint George, Utah for Founders Circle and I’ve decided to take my sewing machine.   I can talk and sew at the same time!!

See ya!

Chic n Scratch is on Periscope

I LOVE learning new things!!

When I was younger …. I had so much energy that I had a hard time learning …. no lie!

I could fill a book of all the crazy things I did …. like falling out of trees …. it only took the third tree to teach me a lesson …. and …..if it hadn’t knocked the wind out of me (I thought surely I was dying)  I might still be climbing them.

There is so much I want to learn (like the official Photoshop and not just Photoshop Elements).

The reason I’m sharing all this is I gave Periscope a try last week …. it was a little nerve wracking … but …. I pulled it off.

Having my first Periscope took several hours of learning … I watched some videos and decided to jump in with two feet.    It went great .. everyone was nice … and super happy to say no trolls.

Then today I learned how to take those videos and add them right inside an iPhone image …. holy cow …. get outta here!!!

Not sure what to do with that knowledge but I’m super excited … LOL

Here ya go … my first Periscope video inserted into an iPhone

I’m headed to a Royals game tonight … it’s the first in over a month …. I can’t wait!

See ya!

The next Butterfly Quilt

I’m happy to say that I actually used my sewing machine today!

I made a deal with myself … and then I cheated.

I decided that if I could get everything done on my to do list  … I would reward myself with an hour of sewing.

Turns out I decided to do it in reverse … and now I’m ready for a nap.

All I can say is ,,,,,,thank goodness it’s Saturday!! Technically I only work Monday through Friday (you and I both know I find myself working on weekends …but it’s very sporadic).

This is another Butterfly Quilt and it has my sister Kim’s name on it.  It’s been hanging on my design wall since April?  That reminds me I have a few quilts I need to pick up from my longarm quilter.

I’m fixin to make myself a cup of coffee and take a nap (hope I wake up energized to film four videos)!!

See ya!

p.s.  The injections they gave me for pain … are no longer working.   I’m counting the days until I see them again (in 2 weeks)!  Also I waited to sew until after my pain returned … I wanted to make sure it wasn’t aggravating the issue by using my sewing machine.  whew!!!
