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!

Chase’s Quilt

February 27, 2015 by Angie 7 Comments

My picture today is of Chase’s quilt … it turned out quite nice considering I really messed it up … several times!

I learned more on this quilt than any other!!

If you’ll remember I was posting small details as I was making it …but I soon lost track of where I went wrong and how to fix it.

So, I stopped posting pictures … I was even tempted to rip it apart …but Chase kept saying he liked it … mistakes and all.

Here’s a list of some of my mistakes

I should have added sashing to the outside borders of the quilt.
The charm pack squares don’t look as nice as the Scallop Square …. next time I’ll cut down the charm packs using the Scallop Square Die.
I cut the Jelly Roll fabric with the wrong measurement ….. one day I’ll make something with those pieces.
If I made this quilt again … I would turn all the squares in one direction … instead of making them squares on one row …. and diamonds on the next.

I have to say that the Stipple Quilting saved it and Chase loves it!! Between you and I … I’m making him another quilt later this year!!

Layer Cake Quilt Along on Chic n Clique

February 26, 2015 by Angie 21 Comments

If you would like to participate in the Layer Cake Quilt Along in March over on Chic n Clique …. here’s the fabric supplies you will need.

One Layer Cake (Layer Cake is 42 squares that measure 10 x 10 and with a variety of patterns).
If you prefer to not use a Layer Cake you need 42 Squares of fabric that measure 10 x 10. (I purchase my Layer Cakes online at Fat Quarter Shop or Missouri Quilt Company …both of them provide excellent customer service … you can also find some Layer Cakes on Amazon … just make sure you get one that has 42 squares).

Although we will not be doing the actual quilting… many of you will want to buy your backing fabric and binding fabric at the same time.

You will have two choices

Option 1
Quilt measures 53 x 62 (6 rows across by 7 rows down)
Backing Fabric 3-3/4 yards
Binding Fabric 1/3 yard

Option 2
Quilt measures 45 x 72 (5 rows across by 8 rows down)
Backing Fabric 4-1/4 yards
Binding Fabric 1/3 yard

Don’t forget to buy matching thread!

The Longarm quilter will finish my quilt and she provides the batting …. so I did not include that on the supply list.

Chic n Clique will be celebrating it’s 1st birthday in March and I thought a Quilt Along would be something fun to try! I’ve never done a quilt along or participated in one ….. but I’m excited.

I’m giving away two – one month memberships to Chic n Clique … Leave a comment to enter to win.

See ya!

p.s. I’ll announce the winners on March 1st.

Update: 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.

Daddy’s Quilt Finished

February 26, 2015 by Angie 6 Comments

Here are the final pictures for Daddy’s quilt …. photography by Brooke Juda.

Woven Petite Layer Cake French General for Moda Fabrics

Finished quilt measured 45 x 72 (lap size)

The next picture is the one that Brooke took using her professional backdrop and lights (Nikon D5100 with 50mm prime lens).

The picture looks good …but we’re still not there .. I believe we will need to use a wall so that the quilt is flat … only catch is we don’t have a full wall anywhere on the main level of our house … and our upstairs doesn’t have an empty wall ….due to furniture …etc. I swear things are never easy ….. but as most of you know I do not give up!! I will figure out something!!

The final picture was taken with my iPhone

March is our birthday month over on Chic n Clique and we’re having a quilt along with this quilt … I can’t wait to see how many people participate!!

Here are the blog posts where I referenced making this quilt (first it was called layer cake quilt and then daddy’s quilt .. technically it is a Layer Cake Quilt).

See ya!

p.s. I was finally able to sleep last night … I still have a major cough … but the meds are working. Rumor has it that the meds should give me fake energy … still waiting to experience that!! LOL
