Longarm Quilting

March 13, 2015 by Angie 7 Comments

It’s my birthday week … in our house …. we milk it for all it’s worth and sometimes we even say it’s our birthday month! LOL

So … I decided to treat myself to a class on longarm quilting … even though I said I was going to wait until I retire to do longarm quilting (between you and I it’s possible I still may wait ….. I’m not totally sure I can do it).

My class is tomorrow from 2 to 5pm and it’s called a Certification Class. I’m excited and scared!!!

Wish me luck!!

Gotta run …. since I won’t be working tomorrow that means double duty for today!!

See ya!

New Fabric

March 12, 2015 by Angie 5 Comments

Isn’t this fabric darling?

I usually buy most of my fabric online at either Missouri Quilt Company or the Fat Quarter Shop … but … I saw this fabric on Craftsy and I had to order it!!

It’s the Riley Blake Basic Variety Rolie Polies … and I ordered three of the four colors … I’m thinking I need to order the gray too!

I plan on making Jelly Roll quilts with these … maybe the yellow will be for Savanna, the blue for Cora and pink for Mallory?

But … I’m thinking out loud … meaning I may change my mind!!! Plus I’m not sure how it will look …… I think I will love it …but since I’m a visual person I won’t know until I break it open and start playing.

I’m sorry I’ve been absent the past few days!!!

I celebrated my birthday for several days … and I’ve worked a lot of hours!! Not only was it my birthday yesterday but it was also Chic n Clique’s first birthday and we’re celebrating all month long!!

Since I’ve felt pretty good … I decided to take advantage of it!!! I will admit that today I’ve felt like a slug …. I tried to take a nap but every person under the sun either texted me or tried to call me … so I gave up!

Dave is coming home tonight … gotta get back over the stove and finish dinner!

See ya!

Finished Quilts

March 3, 2015 by Angie 2 Comments

It’s another cloudy day in Kansas today …. insert sad face!

But …. spring is around the corner … next week they’re saying it could be in the 60’s.

So, my picture today is of the stack of quilts I picked up from Shirley yesterday.

I honestly can’t wait to show you …. but we need to take the pictures once and it’s best to wait for a bright sunny day.

Two of these quilts are mine … and three are gifts … but I’m gonna hang on to them until our house is germ free. I don’t think you can send germs in the mail … but I’d like to admire them a little while longer anyway.

I’m sorry I forgot to post the Chic n Clique winners on March 1st … here’s the official announcement.

Congrats to these three ladies for winning one free month on Chic n Clique!! I’ve sent all three of you an email …. check your inbox.

I’m headed back to my office to do some paper crafting … I hope I can whip out a bunch of projects real quick!

See ya!

Lulu Roses Butterfly Quilt Top

March 2, 2015 by Angie 9 Comments

My Lulu Roses Butterfly Quilt Top is complete and it was delivered to my longarm quilter today. (Sorry bad picture … cloudy day strikes again!!)

Click below to see the Lulu Roses Quilt Top WIP (work in progress) posts.

This quilt is going to my sister Kim … even though we made her a quilt top when she was here for Thanksgiving. Every quilt I’ve finished …..she asks me if it’s for her (sisters can say things like that to each other) so I figured I’d make her another one …..that way I can move on to the rest of the family without feeling guilty. (I should have kept her quilt top and had it finished …but in my defense I wanted her to catch the bug.)

It’s been a couple weeks since I touched my sewing machine …. I’m having withdrawals for sure!!

I picked up five of my quilts from my longarm quilter today … as soon as the sun comes out and we can get some pictures I’ll start sharing. Three of them are headed out to friends … I’ll be honest and say it’s going to be hard to part with them. I told Shirley today now I know what quilters hoard their quilts … they’re just so precious …. it’s hard to part with them … LOL

Business wise … I had a good weekend and was able to get lots of things done … but the sore throat reappeared today and I got very little accomplished (and now Chase and Dave are sick).

I started the Layer Cake Quilt Along on Chic n Clique and I posted Video #3 today … the next video should be posted later this week … I’m giving everyone plenty of time to do their homework. If all goes well that means I’ll get to turn on my sewing machine later this week.

I’m headed upstairs for my bath and then bed …. See ya!
