Soundwave 45 x 36
I consulted with a couple of my local art quilt friends and we all decided on option 2 for the orientation. I think my nephew is going to like it. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out and I even had time to make the label for this and the wedding quilt. You can click on the image to go to the page with the details of this quilt.
Picture
Picture
To make the labels I downloaded fonts for each and downloaded the music bar image and the duck frame. They were all from sites where I could make donations to "purchase".
Picture
I even had some time to work on my scrappy HST veterans quilt.

Today will be all bout baking and packing for the trip. I have to prepare a lot of my foods for travel so that my week will be relaxed. 

​Don't forget to stop here every day next week to enter the Beach Week Giveaways!

Soundwave is moving along on schedule

The top is done and trimmed! It's ready for getting a facing and hanging sleeve today.
I cut around 100 strips and used all but one of them! But once I got it off I actually trimmed a few strips off the left side.(on view 1).
Picture
I planned the orientation one particular way but now that it's off I'm reconsidering. I have to decide before the sleeve goes on.

​Which is your favorite?

Soundwave and birds

Thanks to Gene and Patty this quilt now has a name: Soundwave! I've got a pretty good rhythm going on this now. It's moving along much faster. I'm over half done.
Picture
I have this much left to do and it will be done today! That will leave: fused facing, sleeve and label.
​I've got plenty of time!
Picture
As I was quilting I was cutting off the extra black fabric ends and tossing them in the trash. Of course I had an idea so I fished them out of the trash for a possible new project.....
Picture
I also checked on the bluebirds! The photo isn't good because I was having trouble with the bright sun and I didn't want to spend too much time here. I'll try to get one more before I leave them alone to fledge.
Aren't the cute?

Life's a beach

Well, it will be next week anyway! 
I get very excited for my family beach week every year. It's great to spend time with my brothers and their families and it's always wonderful to kick off summer with a beach experience. I clearly had it on my mind in the dye studio last week as evidenced by today's fabrics. I also have a beach week for you. Read below for details.

Because I'll be away there will be no orders shipped next week. Any orders after May 20 will be shipped May 31.

New Stash Pack

Sunshine Stash Pack
PictureCaribbean Stash Pack
​A couple of weeks ago I dyed "the ocean" with the new  Caribbean Stash Pack. This week I'm added in the sun! The Sunshine Stash Pack is 100% sun inspired.
​
Each Stash Pack has 10 fat eighths of fabrics in a variety of color combinations and color texture. I love them for scrappy style quilts but I think most people use them for elements in art quilts. You can use them any way you want!

Picture
Picture
Each Stash Pack has 5 streaky fabrics and 5 mottled fabrics. Here are larger views of 6 of the fabrics. There are so many possibilities for fussy cutting applique or landscape elements.
​

Gradients Back In Stock

There are 4 Gradients back in stock this week and several of them would make great water or sky elements.

Fabric of the Week

Forest Canopy Dye Mistake - 25% off!
The fabric of the week this week is a dye mistake! This was supposed to be Forest Canopy but I dyed that middle orange too dark. In my opinion, it still looks great. It makes me think of a forest fire. But it's not "right" so you can pick this one up for 25% off while it's still around. This one won't be coming back.

Beach Week Giveaway

While I'm away next week I'm leaving behind a daily giveaway for you to enter. There are 6 in all, one each day Monday through Saturday. I'm really excited about the prizes and I hope you will be too!

Great weekend progress

5/16/2022

I hope your weekend was as good as mine! We had sewing days Friday and Saturday and in between I worked on my nephew's wall hanging and made really good progress on all fronts.

I took 2 kits to sewing and finished both! Each is based on a panel and I have no idea where these panels came from. I don't enjoy working with panels because they are never square but I do see the appeal. I got two quilt tops made in 2 days! I used a lot of leftovers to finish them so I didn't have a ton of options for coordinating fabrics. This one was really awkward because the orientation is landscape and it was almost to our max width for the quilts so I just had to add strips to the top and bottom to bring it to 60" long. It will have a blue binding. 
Picture
I added some hand dyed borders to this one to bring it up to size. I'm really please with both of them.
It doesn't look it, but both are 48" x 60".

​The rest of the weekend was spent working on the wall hanging.
Picture
After sewing Friday I came home and cut all of the 1" strips for the wall hanging.
Picture
I spent Saturday afternoon and evening Preparing the backing and batting. I decided to mark my pattern right on the batting with washable markers. I'll mark the spike lines to follow and will align the middle seam of the strip on the spike lines. I marked the top and bottom edges so that the print part of strips do not run off the edge of the quilt.
Picture
I marked the spike lines and then arranged some strips to see if I liked it.
Picture
I made a couple of changes to my spike lines and I was ready to go!
Picture
I got started quilting/piecing yesterday and I'm 30% done. I sure love the channel locks!
​
Pretty much every update this week will be on this quilt. I want it done with the sleeve attached by Friday night!

New quilt project and a new hobby!

5/13/2022

Picture
Yay! Today and tomorrow are the monthly sewing days with Country School Quilters! I've got 2 quilt kits ready to go. Both of these are simple so I expect to get one finished and the second underway. Soon I'm going to have to get busy cutting out all the patriotic fabric that I bought in Paducah and get more kits ready.  Sometimes I take my sewing machine to the beach vacation and I'd need a project for that. But this year I have another plan!
Picture
I have had a small itch to try fly tying for a long time. After making those tedious ornaments for almost 30 years it seems like this is something I might be able to do. I've no interest at all in fly fishing and neither does Chris but his friend, Mike, loves fly fishing. He was visiting last week and I mentioned that I was interested. I even took him on a tour of my sewing supplies and we found some things that he could use. This week he sent me a tool kit and a kit to tie some flies! I'm taking this to the beach (with my crochet) instead of sewing. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos to prepare and I'm excited to give this a try. I have no idea what I'll do with the flies but I can worry about that later.
Picture
Picture
Also related to beach planning is the quilt project that I started yesterday. I mentioned this one many weeks ago but it stayed on the back burner until I could finish the wedding quilt. My nephew requested this wall hanging for his music room and I'm going to try to get it done by next Saturday so I can deliver it to him at the beach. I didn't really want to make an exact quilt from this book but he fell in love with this one so I'm making it for him. I'm going to make my version wider, about 4 feet, by 3 feet tall.
​I got started yesterday.
Picture
I had about 3 yards of this fabric and the same of some black so I was ready to go. I've cut the fabric on both sides through the black area. I will not use the middle section at all.
Picture
If I had used the middle section I would have seamed it to have the center of my strip the bright yellow. Instead I just used the cut off edges, trimmed off what I didn't need and stitched the 2 long pieces together.
Picture
This fabric will be cut into 1" strips so I used a very tiny stitch length to, hopefully, keep the seams together as I piece it on the longarm. Remember when I made these placemats to practice longarm piecing?
Picture
Hey look! I emptied another cone of thread! I bought the Wonderfil in Paducah to try out. 
I am using black thread for this project because there really isn't a substitute for black thread on black fabric.
Picture
I added to wide pieces of black to each side of the center strip.
Yes, I could/should have pieced it as a tube like traditional Bargello.
Yes, the way I'm doing it is incredibly wasteful of fabric.
​That's just how it has to be. I have some sort of allergy to traditional Bargello. I did it once and hated it. I hated breaking apart the tube because I kept doing it wrong. The whole thing was exceedingly stressful.
I decided to just do it this way. It's more logical to me.

Next step is to cut this big piece into about 100 1" strips and then set up the longarm and plan the wave pattern and then just a lot of flip-and-sew on the longarm. I really don't think it's going to take an excessive amount of time but we'll see.

Veterans quilts and baby Bluebirds

5/12/2022

Picture
I finished the veterans quilts! There are 2 almost identical ones and these are almost identical to 2 I made a couple of years ago. I was in the same fabric store and saw that they still had the panel. I loved those quilts so much that I decided that I wanted to make 2 more. The panel and the 2 narrow borders are commercial prints. The other fabrics are all from my "waste" fabrics and scrap bin.
Picture
I think that the Woven Wind pantograph is perfect on these quilts and it's also perfect because it quilts up so fast.
Picture
Here's proof that there are two of them! These will get delivered with many more this weekend.
Picture
I checked on the Eastern Bluebird nest yesterday. All 5 are doing well and have passed their ugly phase.

Piecing thread

5/11/2022

Yesterday I got the veterans quilts quilted and one is bound. Today, after dyeing, I hope to get the other bound and to have both to share tomorrow.
Picture
Today I thought I'd answer a question that Gene had. He noticed that I was piecing the half square triangles with blue thread. Since one of the fabrics is gray you would expect that I'd use gray thread. Gray is what I use (and probably what you use) most for piecing. That has been my habit and I buy a lot fog ray, white and black piecing thread. 
​But I have another thread problem that needs to be solved and that's what I'm trying to do here.
Picture
When I started longarming I bought a lot of thread without really knowing if I would use it or not. Most of the thread I bought I like and I use. I didn't love King Tut but was able to give some away and used most of the rest on the veterans quilts.  One thread that I bought but don't like on the longarm is Masterpiece. Of course, it was never intended for the longarm but I thought I'd want to use a thin cotton yarn for quilting. Turns out, I don't. Of course I bought ALL of the available colors before discovering this.
About a year ago I decided to move that thread into my sewing room and use it for what it was intended: piecing. I've got it divided into light, medium and dark groups and I basically treat it all as shades of gray. I use pink and yellow as white or cream and I use purples, greens and blues as dark grays and browns. If the tension is good on the machine it all works out fine. Dark green and dark/medium purple are great gray substitutes! Pink is a great substitute for cream.
Some of the bright colors I use for basting on the longarm and sometimes I actually match the thread color to my project. 
​I'm determined to use these threads and avoid buying new thread as much as possible. I do still purchase a little gray and black and white but not nearly as much as I used to. 

​So that's why I'm piecing with blue thread on this project.
Picture
In other news, I'm getting ready for the upcoming annual family beach vacation and that means I'm planning for a giveaway week for you! So keep your eye out for giveaway week coming up soon.

Veterans quilt week

5/10/2022

5 Comments

 
I'm looking over my to-do list and schedule for the week and it looks like this is going to be a veterans quilt week. I wanted to get my current stack of tops quilted before the meeting tonight and we have sewing days this weekend (where I work in piecing veterans quilt tops) so that's surely a themed week.
​Seems like a fine way to spend my time.
Picture
I finished quilting these two quilts yesterday. They were made by Margaret from a stash of African fabrics that she purchased at a quilt show. I love both quilt although I did have some thread shredding problems. I got through the quilts and figured that I would need do some machine adjustments. After I took these quilts off I did some testing and everything was fine so I think the problem was the finish on the fabric.
Picture
This one was fun to quilt in wavy lines and diamonds. About halfway through I figured out that I only had the problem going right to left so for the rest of the quilt I quilted left to right and it was smooth sailing. 
Picture
This is such a fun quilt. Notice the difference in the size of the center squares from the black centers to the print centers. I think that one little difference made a huge impact on the quilt design.
Picture
This one got quilted with a free-motion Baptist Fan-type motif. I think it works well with the fabrics in the quilt.
Picture
Now I'm quilting my twin veterans quilts. One is done and the next row of quilting will start the second one.
Picture
Sitting down 15 minutes here and there I'm making progress on all of the half square triangles for yet another veterans quilt top. This one will take a while.

Butterfly postcards

fabric postcard
Boy did I push Mother's Day just to the wire. I got this card finished Thursday night and in the mail Friday. Fortunately it made it 25 miles to Mom's place Saturday. With the USPS that's not a guarantee these days. 
Picture
These postcards started with a stack of sunprints that I've been hoarding for a long time. These were sunprinted with a stencil and I couldn't decided exactly what to do with them. There's nothing like time pressure to fix design angst. I felt that all they really needed was some sparkle. I outlined them with some free motion stitching using Superior Metallic thread and then added crystals. 

I tend to use the crystals primarily just for Christmas so it was fun to use the "other" colors of crystals on these cards.
Picture
I made 7 all together. I only got one made before I had to get Mom's in the mail and I finished the rest by Saturday. Now my May and June birthdays are covered.
Picture
In other news, we have baby Bluebirds! I hope they have survived the unseasonably cold weather we've had this weekend. I'll check on them again in a couple of days.
