Mixed Bag Quilt

January 23, 2015 by Angie 6 Comments

The Mixed Bag Quilt is finished and ready for the longarm quilter.

I’ll take it to the fabric store to match the backing fabric and then deliver it to Shirley.

The next time you see it … it will be finished.

If my memory serves me right it took about 5 days to make … and that was working only a few minutes/hours here and there.

I’ve mentioned several times that sewing calms me and makes me very relaxed …. so when I developed the whopper headache I decided to sew… and I discovered something. The starch I use has Lavender ….. Holy Cow … is that why it relaxes me? I’ll have to test the Lavender Oil in my diffuser….I’ll be sure to let you know what I discover.

Quilting Videos … I’ve had more than one person request how to quilt videos (thank you). The answer is YES I will film some videos for you. I have three quilt videos on my to do list … and the minute I feel well enough to do them I will. The Layer Cake Quilt is one of them.

See ya!

Layer Cake Quilt Complete

January 10, 2015 by Angie 4 Comments

The next time you see this quilt ….. it will be complete.

I finished sewing the rows together …. completing the quilt top. The backing fabric arrived today and it’s ready for the long arm quilter.

Daddy’s birthday is in March ….. it should be ready in plenty of time.

When I make the next Layer Cake Quilt …. I will try making it 6 Blocks across and 7 down. This one is 5 blocks across and 8 down … making it narrow and long. After I change it … I may decide to keep it 8 blocks down and just add a few blocks across…. maybe going from 5 to 7. But when we do that … it will take more than one Layer Cake.

The next picture I’m sharing today is of our breakfast room … it’s decorated for one of Brooke’s friends. We’re having her birthday party at our house and they’ve been working on it since yesterday. They’ve done a great job!! The only help they got from me was I removed all my stuff and I cleaned (yes that means we moved my office back down to the basement … as well as all my sewing stuff … insert sad face!)

The party is officially taking place at this moment … Miss Bella and I are in bed.

See ya!

Kim’s Quilt

November 30, 2014 by Angie Leave a Comment

My sister Kim came to Kansas for Thanksgiving and instead of going shopping … we decided to make a Quilt (top).

It’s been a few years since I’ve made a quilt …. and the same can be said for Kim visiting Kansas … her last visit was in 2011 when she came out to help me during my surgery. I sure miss living near her!!!

The next picture I’m sharing is of Kim with Chase and Brooke … they too were so happy to have family visiting for Thanksgiving. (It can be very lonely without family during the holidays!!!)

The next picture is of Chase, Brooke and I ….

The final picture is of Kim & I with Miss Bella. This was the first time Kim met Miss Bella ….. she fell in love with her and said she was the best and funniest dog she has ever met (and named herself “aunt mommy” after Miss Bella mistook her for me).

See ya later!
