Design wall Monday 3/10 blue scraps

On March 10, 2014 By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies, quilts, Uncategorized3 Comments

After our long day Saturday, and the fact that we lost an hour of sleep because of daylight savings time, I was pretty well tuckered out yesterday. I hate to let a day go by without sewing or quilting something, so I decided to sew a bit more on the scrappy blue quilt I’m working on. I’m cutting strips of blue fabric from my scraps and making them into blocks. Here’s what I finished last night and have on my design wall today.

I have lots of pieces cut into sections.

And several more strips cut.

This will be another one of those projects that will take me awhile to complete. I guess a little bit here and a little bit there will eventually get me to the completed quilt top! LOL!

2014 Mystery quilt “lock in”

On March 9, 2014March 9, 2014 By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies, quiltsLeave a comment

What a fun day we all had yesterday! It was our annual mystery quilt day. We had over 50 ladies sewing, eating and visiting!
Here’s a few of them.

We named this years pattern Double D’Lite. Here’s mine.

Here’s Sharon’s.

Those making the throw size quilt got a lot done on theirs.

Some of the ladies with a block. It’s fun to see all the different colors they choose.

There’s a sneak peek at some of what happened yesterday. I’m already looking forward to next years!! 🙂

Have a great day!

Design wall Monday 3/2/14 circles

On March 3, 2014March 3, 2014 By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies, quilts4 Comments

Since I didn’t have to drive the school bus today because of the frigid cold temps, I decided to start my Monday off by getting the rest of the rows sewn together on this quilt. All that’s left to do is add a border. I’m going to add a solid black border and call it done. Probably won’t get to that this week because of the Lock in being next Saturday. I have my quilt quilted and binding attached, just need to get it sewn down and it will be ready to go! I still have lots to do before Sat.

Anyway, for the last time, here’s the circle quilt on my wall. It looks different with the black sashing strips.

Now I better make good use of my day off, and get to quilting.

TTFN!!

My colorful wall

On February 25, 2014February 25, 2014 By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies, quilts, Uncategorized3 Comments

I’m a bit behind this week on design wall Monday, I did get quite a few of the blocks finished last week. I only have 10 more to go, then it’s time for sashings. Once I started working on these, I just kept going. It sure makes my design wall colorful! I’m getting anxious to get the whole top done! We’ll see how long it takes on that………….

I ordered some fabric last week, for the back of my lock in mystery quilt. It should arrive tomorrow. That should give me time to quilt it before the lock in. I also have my sisters lock in quilt from last year to quilt before then too. I hope to get it loaded today before I leave.

Sharon and I are giving our lecture/trunk show tonight in KC, so I’ve been organizing and packing up all my quilts this morning. They are now in the car and ready to go. Bad thing is they’re calling for snow this evening, not a lot but it still makes for a mess. Come on spring!! I am sooooo ready for you to get here!!

Cardinals

On February 5, 2014February 5, 2014 By alwaysquiltsIn Uncategorized1 Comment

We had a major snowstorm move through yesterday. As the snow fell throughout the day, I kept watching the cardinals at the feeder. The beautiful red males against the white snow…..at one time I counted 16 males and numerous females.
Today they are back at the feeder, battling the cold harsh wind that is blowing.

I can’t see the feeder from my workroom, but I can see the cardinals on this quilt top. So today it’s getting quilted!

That’s it for now! Stay warm and have a great day!

I have neglected my poor blog for awhile. Guess I need to get back to it, but I haven’t been able to post what I’ve been working on, so I’ll show what’s on my wall today. It’s been there for awhile and will probably be there for a lot longer as I’m working on the quilt for our annual lock in. This will take awhile to complete.

We finally got the pattern for the Flying geese quilt written and in our Etsy and Craftsy stores.

I guess that’s it for now. I better get back to quilting. Have a good day!

Monday again? Already?? Wow……
I guess I did get a lot done last week. I finished bindings on 3 of my own quilts, quilted several customer quilts, got the borders sewn on a quilt top and pieced another quilt too. Whew! That’s a lot for me!!
Here’s the batik one that I got borders added onto. It’s now ready to quilt.

I am having so much fun playing around with strips of fabric, I decided to look for some fabric to cut into strips and I came across this pretty cardinal fabric that I bought years ago.

It was too pretty to cut into small pieces, so I never used it in anything. When I saw it last night…….. hmm…….I wonder if………

So I cut into it, added strips, and came up with this.

Another strip quilt. Less than 2 hours to cut it out and piece the top! I like that! It just needs borders now. I have plenty of the cardinal fabric, so I’ll add a wide border of it. Woohoo! Using my stash! And having fun doing it!

Anyway, that’s what’s on my design wall today. To see more walls check out http://www.patchworktimes.com

My squares from last weeks wall got taken down and put in boxes. This ones going to take awhile.

Lots of parts and pieces in it!

That’s it for me! Have a good week!

How Great Thou Art Quilt

On December 7, 2013December 7, 2013 By alwaysquiltsIn machine quilting, quilts2 Comments

The first Saturday of each month, I go to my LQS for Saturday Sampler. Last month one of the ladies that was there, asked me if I would quilt a couple of quilts for her. I told her I could and she said she’d bring them with her today. Well, she brought the quilts in and had some pictures of how she wanted one of them quilted. The quilt pattern is one of Deanna Hodson’s designs. She took several pictures of Deanna’s quilt because she just loved the way it was quilted. She was showing me all these closeup pictures and I finally started snickering and told her that “I think I can quilt it just like Deanna’s since I was the one that quilted Deanna’s” we both started laughing then!
Here are a few shots of Deanna’s quilt.

That’s it! Hope you have a wonderful day!!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s already December. Time flies!
I don’t have much on my wall this week. I started cutting out the blocks for my next quilt I want to make.

It looks rather boring at this stage, but wait till I get the blocks finished! I think it’s going to look great!! I hope so anyway. It looks good on paper! LOL!!

That’s it for my wall, I better get back to quilting. To see more walls check out http://www.patchworktimes.com

Thanksgiving day and my sisters quilt

On November 28, 2013 By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies, quiltsLeave a comment

This year I had my Mom and my sisters family come to my house for Thanksgiving dinner, there was 9 of us all together. We managed to sit all of us around the table too. That was nice. Anyway, after we ate, the guys headed in to watch football and my sister and I headed down to my quilt room. 🙂 She has been busy getting some of her rows sewn together from last years lock in mystery quilt, She brought it with her as she wanted to show me how it’s looking. We decided to hang them on my design wall.

She’s liking the way it’s looking and so am I!

That’s it for now. 🙂 hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!
