Plans change……..😳

On By alwaysquiltsIn Blogroll, Hobbies, machine quilting, quilts, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I planned on quilting customer quilts today but the old machine was acting up. It’s the machine with the IQ (computer) on it. I use it for pantographs. Anyway, I didn’t trust it enough to load someone else’s quilt on it  so I loaded my Kansas row by row and started quilting it. After lots of adjusting here and there, I finally got it back up to par and working like it should. Whew!  So, although I didn’t plan on quilting mine today, it’s done!  

 
I figured since it was a Kansas quilt I should quilt sunflowers on it, since that’s our state flower.  I love the way the quilted sunflowers matched up with the row of appliqued sunflowers. 

  
    
 

I made a scrappy back for it too, so I used up more fabric from my stash! Yea! 
  

 

Even though things didn’t go as planned today, it worked out because I needed to have my quilt quilted before my guild meeting next week. I sure hope tomorrow’s plan works out! 😀  but if not…..I’ll make the best of it.

Design wall 1/4/16 new year, new projects

On By alwaysquiltsIn Blogroll, Hobbies, quilts, UncategorizedLeave a comment

My Kansas row by row quilt top is still on the wall. I pieced a scrappy back together for it, so it’s ready for quilting. I have a few customer quilts to get done before I can put it on the machine.

I cut out a new quilt last week and I’m anxious to get started on it.


Today I started cutting out my mystery lock in quilt. I decided to keep the green in there, since I know what the pattern looks like, I think it will be fine.


That’s it for now. Check out other walls at http://www.patchworktimes.com

On By alwaysquiltsIn Home and Garden, quilts, Uncategorized2 Comments

The top is finally done! Yea!! I just put a thin grey border and then a small black outer border to finish off the top. I do like it much better, now that it’s done and I can see the whole thing laid out.


Now I have to get back to my Kansas row by row quilt………we’re supposed to bring them to our January guild meeting……….I still fon’t have a clue as to what to do with the rows.? Oh well,  it’s back on the design wall and maybe something will come to me this time.


That’s it for me this week. To see more walls check out http://www.patchworktimes.com

Design wall 11/23/15 progress on the string blocks

On By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies, quilts, Uncategorized5 Comments

I made some progress on the strings blocks this week. All the rows are made, now I have to piece the sashing strips to go in between the rows. I have the first one done and sewn onto the bottom of row 1.


I’ll be glad when this is done. It does brighten up the wall though.😀

Anyway, that’s my wall for this week, to see more walls go to http://www.patchworktimes.com

Quilts for Christmas

On By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies, quilts, UncategorizedLeave a comment

My last minute sewing and quilting was worth it when the kids opened their packages. Tim liked his Rock & Roll quilt and noticed the quilting pattern immediately. I saw him point it out to Sarah. I quilted his with a musical note pattern.

I think his girlfriend Sarah was the most surprised by getting a quilt. She liked hers too!

Sarah likes to do crafts, so she made us a Christmas card! I loved it!!

Kansas row by row

On By alwaysquiltsIn HobbiesLeave a comment

Had a fun time at my guild meeting last night. Our Kansas row by row exchange was due. We only had 2 groups participate in the exchange and group 1 didn’t show up with their rows so only group 2 got to exchange. I’m glad I was in group 2. Anyway, I went easy and made this row.

These are the rows I exchanged for.

I love the rows everyone made!!
Now I’ll have to decide how I want to put them together.

I also got a little surprise gift from my friend Joelyn. She does beautiful embroidery work and she made me a little rug mug. (Although no mug will ever be placed on this!!)

Isn’t it beautiful? I LOVE it and she was so kind to make it for me. Thank you again Joelyn!!

Well, that’s it for now. Have a great day!

Design wall 6/9/14 Row-by-row

On By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies4 Comments

I didn’t have a lot of sewing time last week, so my rows didn’t get finished on the scrappy blue quilt. I had to take it down off the fall and finish my Summer Row by row quilt top.they are due at guild this week, so I finally got the top put together.

20140609-131950.jpg
The top row had a lot of white background, so I planned from the start to add something there.
I put a partial umbrella. What do you think?

20140609-132143.jpg
I appliquéd it on over everything, then did some fancy machine stitches to make it look like an umbrella.

20140609-132311.jpg
I didn’t want to put a lot into it, just wanted it done!! Now I can get back to my scrappy blue rows! 🙂

Design wall Monday 2/11/13

On By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies, quilts3 Comments

I was going through some of my old stuff last night and came across this one. Look at the date! LOL!!

20130211-104141.jpg

I made the January blocks…. All 4 of them! 🙂 I printed off each months pattern but never made any more blocks.

20130211-104504.jpg

I have enough of the fabric to make 8 more blocks, so I think I’ll just make 12 blocks, add a dark sashing and border, then call it done.

20130211-104841.jpg

It won’t be as pretty as the BOM, but after 14 years in a box……..done is better!! LOL!!!

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

Basket quilt

On By alwaysquiltsIn Hobbies, machine quilting, quilts2 Comments

Ok now, everyone sing!

A tisket a tasket, a green and yellow basket. LOL!!!

I’ve been working on this basket quilt today and that crazy song has been stuck in my head!

Of course after quilting several rows, I changed the words to…..

A tisket a tasket, I’m tired of seeing BASKETS!! LOL!!!!

It’s good to see the end is in sight! 🙂
