Vintage Blooms - Jan & Feb blocks

I've finished the February blocks for my Vintage Bloom BOM offered by Gay at Sentimental Stitches.  It takes a set of 4 blocks together to see the full effect of the secondary designs.  I used 3 strands of floss and very tiny stitches to help the embroidery stand out.  I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping this one.

Our guild retreat is coming up this weekend.  I plan to be sewing lots of triangle sets to have them ready for assembly as the embroidery blocks are released each month.

RSC16 - Purples

While waiting for the sampler block to be announced,  I went ahead and made up the bear paw block in purples.  I don't have alot of purples in scraps or yardage, so I hesitate to go too far with the alternate RSC plans, until I'm sure I have the sampler blocks covered.  Gee I'd hate to have to go buy some purples.  lol  Truly, I hope to squeeze thru the month with what I have on hand.

Today, I'm linking up with Angela at Soscrappy   and Sunday, with Cynthia for Oh Scrap.  Visit these sites to see what everyone is making with their scraps this weekend.

RSC15 Sampler - a Fine Finish

This was a sampler project initiated by Angela of SoScrappy.  It is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2015 Sampler.  Everything except background is from the scrap bins.  She provided instructions for all the sampler blocks and the main Star block    HERE .

The project is made from 25 star sampler blocks  and 24  connector blocks.  I wanted a nice flow to finish  the design  edge,  so I imported the basic photo into EQ, then played around a bit..... okay, a lot.  I was so happy with the border finish and so inspired to get the quilt together.

These are 12" blocks.  This quilt finishes at 108" x 108".  I work on a DSM in a somewhat small space, and so, sadly, I took the easy road in quilting it.  It has Hobbs 80/20 batting and legacy muslin on the back.  A quilt this large is a huge stretch for me.  I persevered and am so happy it is a finish.

RSC15 Sampler 

I love these rainbow scrap challenges.  I am predicting more pretty creations in 2016.

RSC16 Browns - Part 2

Today rounds up the remainder of my brown scraps.  I have so little browns left now.    Here is my adopted version of the indian hatchet block....Jan and Feb rows together.

and here is the crayon rows together............

both rows are 48 inches long.  If I decide to make the indian hatchet quilt longer, it is easy to add more blocks before the rows are sewn together.  It may become a bed quilt.

The remaining scraps were pieced into large crumb blocks - excess of 8".  They are intended for hot pads  AND  practice for easy FMQ.  I am a totally walking foot quilter, but I want to play a bit and it's okay when they'll be badly quilted.

I did a thorough job with the browns this month.  I wonder what color is on tap for March?  I'm linking up with Angela at Soscrappy  and on Sunday with Cynthia for Oh Scrap.  Please visit these sites to see what everyone else has done with their brown scraps.

CCQ #28 - Ladybug Wings

I had pieces leftover from my last project, Ladybugs.  I thought to design a baby quilt around the leftovers- strips from stripsets and a strip of the ladybug fabric.  I thought I was working along quite nicely,  went to bed last night with it all quilted, just waiting for the binding.  Saw it this morning and it was fright - full of orange.  The navy binding toned that down some, but not enough.  I sure hope it doesn't make some poor infant cross-eyed.  It measures 38 x 38.

I'm adding this to my CCQ page which is a collection of  my donation quilts.

I'm linking up with  Michelle for Lets Make Baby Quilts   and  Lisa in Port Hope for TGIFF.

CCQ # 27 - Ladybugs

I pulled out a lonely piece of ladybug fabric and told myself I could work it into a quilt.  It wasn't a very big piece, so I made some stripsets, subcut them, swapped and flipped the pieces and ended up with this.  I can't think of a catchy name, so I'm just calling it Ladybugs.  It measures  48 x 54.  I guess it falls into the toddler category. I will give it to my guild for donation.

I get to add this to my CCQ's  (Charity/Child Comfort Quilt)  page.

Today I'm linking up with :

2 Baby Quilts - Finished

I've just finished these 2 baby qults.  The first one  is 40" square.  I thought rounded corners would work nicely on this quilt - not quite happy with it this time.

If you want to make up a quick baby quilt, you can download this file

This toddler quilt is 40 x 51.  It is a free pattern offered at Claudias Quilt Shop  HERE .  It was a fun design to work up.  I had to blend 2 fabrics for the binding to have enough.

16 Patch Pink Rails

I set out to make a baby quilt set.  My latest habit is to make a 40" square baby quilt for infant which can be used over car seats and carriers later and a larger, toddler side quilt for cuddling and using for a play mat.  I got the top pieced Monday.  Tuesday is for quilting.  I also have the 40" square top pieced and waiting for quilting.  Will show that later.

You can find the pattern here:  Obviously it is an easy one, sew fun.

RSC16 - Browns

The first pic shows my rows for the sampler quilt.  I made my blue row with 9 blocks, 81 inches. In keeping with the 81 inch length for the brown row, I made 13 - 6" blocks plus a half block.  I altered my block style slightly to accommodate the little pink corner squares.  I like how it looks.  I love the splash of adding the accent color.

I also got the brown bear paw block done.  Here is a pic of the first two blocks together.

I've been revamping some of my blog pages.  I'll be collecting photos for these projects there.

Nap in a Bag

Here is a worthy afternoon project -  a nap in a bag.  I needed a birthday present for a 3 year old for this saturday.  A piece of fleece and some pretty cotton made it all come together.  Actually, I made 2 sets.  I have one in reserve.  lol  I found the free project here: http://www.sew4home.com/projects/bed-linens/nap-bag-blanket-pillow-matching-bag.  This file is quite lengthy with detailed photos for instructions, so I typed up my own 'condensed' version which should make it quick work for the next set I make.

RSC16 - Blues 2

Here is a photo of my design wall today.  January is the month of new starts.  This photo shows the beginnings of 6 quilts.  I shouldn't be proud.  LOL   4 of the new projects will be from the scrap bins.  I have the column sampler row in the far left, then what I call the indian hatchet,  then the crayon quilt  and finally the bear paw.

 Maybe I over did it this year.   Last year I only made the sampler.  BTW, I'm still stitching down the binding on that one.......... nearly finished.

The seminole band No. 1 comes next.  This is a new project at Morning Glory Designs.

Then just this week someone steered me to the Vintage Blooms BOM at Sentimental Stitches.  Since it had some embroidery, I couldn't resist.'

I think that is enough new starts for me!  I'm linking up with Angela at Soscrappy.

RSC16 - Blues

Since my RSC16 Sampler row is ready,  my next step is the bear paw block.  What is prettier than a bear paw? ..........   a totally scrappy bear paw, of course.

Now to decide what else to make with the blue scraps.  I have some great ideas saved, it's time to choose one.

RSC16 Sampler - Blues

Kicking off the new year with a new scrappy sampler hosted by Angela at SoScrappy.  January's color is blues and she picked a pretty star block to showcase the blues.  This year we're adding a splash of a 2nd color, a great way to perk up the blocks.  Here is my batch.

DH really liked this block.  I took much fuss while picking out the fabric combos and tried not to have too many repeats.  I'm linking up with Angela at Soscrappy today where you can see what everyone is making with their blue scraps this week.

Sunday I'm linking up with Cynthia of Quilting is More Fun Than Housework blog for the "Oh Scrap" party.  Visit there to find the inspiration that other quilters are sharing today.

Live Simply plus State of the Stash Report

First up,  I'll share  a photo of my very first cross stitch project.  There are 4 cross stitch samplers I want to make.  I'm not sure if I'll frame them individually or as a collage.  Thankfully, decisions are not necessary yet.

Now on to my  first annual  ' State of the Stash'  report.




                   2015  State of the Stash

Yardage  OUT  in finished items .........................    99  yards
Yardage  OUT  in donations ..................................  73  yards
                                                                                 _________
            TOTAL  yardage out                              =   172 yards


Yardage  IN by purchase or other acquisition.......  66  yards
                                                                                _________

    TOTAL  Net  yardage   OUT .........................   106  yards
                                                                                ========


Summary:  even tho I am 106 yards lighter,   I do declare alot of  'nearly finished' quilts this year, which should help my numbers soar in 2016, if  when I finish them.

CCQ #22 - Framed Flowers

I recently finished this quilt and just got a photo of it.  It was created around a batch of orphan blocks that were donated to the quilt club.  It measures a hefty 81 x 97...... a nice comfort for a needy person.   Our club uses all donated fabrics into quilts for several organizations who puts them back out into the community.

CCQ #23 - Log Cabin Orphans

This quilt was designed around a bundle of log cabin blocks donated to the quilt club.  When I go to their sew days, I am often given the challenge to do something with these donations.    I decided to offset the blocks with a very dark brown.  The quilt is 60 x 71".

RSC15 Sampler - Combo blocks

I am still working on the connecting blocks.   These are not a fast process with family gatherings going on this weekend.  I've found I had to take many of the blocks back to the pressing board and attack them with the steam iron.  I hate to do that, but my iron is useless when set on heat only.  I've tried to be careful with the steam iron and handling.

Here is a quarter sample on the design board.  I may not get it finished before the year is over, but I hope the top will be done.  Funny how you can see the design flow so much better in a photo, than while it is in front of you.  No blocks sewn together yet .............

Finally,  Blocks 24 & 25 - light greens.  You'll find I cheated on the sampler center on one of them.

I've moved on to the alternating blocks now.  All the color pieces are cut.  Yesterday, I assembled 2 of them............... so pretty.  I will be spending the next few days stitching up the remaining 22.  You can visit my RSC15 Challenge page to see all my blocks for this project.  I want to be all caught up and ready for the 2016 challenge.  The new ideas are surmounting!

Embroidered Christmas Wreath

I have a great finish to report.  It's not a large piece, 25 x 25",  but certainly used up alot of hand stitching time.  The center piece was  pre-printed and intended for quilting.  I wanted to embroider it with color.  I started it a few years ago, then it went into the closet for awhile.

Whenever you have a clear out, you uncover forgotten projects.  I have rekindled my hand stitching phase and try to do it every evening.  I started by finishing the stitching on this piece.   Then it sat  again, waiting for an appropriate border.   I used Sulky 12 wt  thread and 3-strand embroidery floss.

 Then it sat  again, waiting for an appropriate border.  I put another border on it, it just didn't work.  I took that border off, and chose this one.  I like it.

Stockings & Ornies

Here is my design wall today.  I've finished all the stockings I've committed to - 13 adult, double-sided stockings and 5 doggie stockings..........  all with names.  I will be glad to put the christmas fabrics away.  I also finished up some redwork embroidered snowflake ornaments for the Pathfinders christmas party which our guild contributes to every year.  The bottom 2 stockings still need the binding stitched down.

and here is a close-up of the ornaments.  I backed them with white fleece, stitched around a circle and trimmed off with pinking shears.

I am excited to get back to working on a real quilt.   Today I'm linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times.  Visit her link to see what other quilters are creating today.
