Don't know what I've been doing! Well, I do read more than I have for a long time! And, I go to bed early now.....used to stay up until midnight stitching! Anyway, I finished this block that @oldpatchart on Instagram offered a pattern for an old block she acquired, about 12" square .....I loved the colors so I made it! Photo colors aren't as true as I would like..........it was fun to make after searching for browns.......I really need to do the gargantuan job of shelving my fabrics by color instead of by designer as I've always done. Sounds like a good job for winter when it's cool upstairs!</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbJhGzpUoU8Lm-WY_zcJjWodJEBGBdCLEpksjWzoAz1-Sacx5zMVNrjFv7KHbm59vOs_pUU7h-OWxOQytiXc41v1FkZOl8Eju0JHbN4vdA1PN-2ZEW_nbSptnkRCwYUMMBrRGB_bo5XYIFEqv0NBBaw6eTz-cg9KWJqBSnZWXpD4E-6f5GAsM7ciHt/s2299/DQOldePatchart.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2278" data-original-width="2299" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbJhGzpUoU8Lm-WY_zcJjWodJEBGBdCLEpksjWzoAz1-Sacx5zMVNrjFv7KHbm59vOs_pUU7h-OWxOQytiXc41v1FkZOl8Eju0JHbN4vdA1PN-2ZEW_nbSptnkRCwYUMMBrRGB_bo5XYIFEqv0NBBaw6eTz-cg9KWJqBSnZWXpD4E-6f5GAsM7ciHt/s320/DQOldePatchart.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Have another little quilt that I've been working on (from the cover of an old quilt book).....hope I can finish it for June!

Too many to choose from! Can't believe the boxes of scraps I found when I started digging around! I found these selvage edges in a couple old check boxes and this is what I came up with! There are over 130 fabrics (one duplicate......can you find it?). Aimed for even strips but did not accomplish it! Found a favorite old fabric from Jo Morton for the border, machine-quilted in the ditch. Might go back and handquilt my favorite wavy lines in the borders. Love the backing toile of country cottages which is Beatrix Potter from an English company. Sorry photo is not very good.....should have waited for daylight tomorrow!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">OOOPS! I missed the duplicate pinks! The one that stands out to me is a red directional....however, in one place it is cross grain and the other lengthwise grain.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjLJFO4bnfczfQ0WJMYEveWgym4W71wTU6jS4RLYwGv7aaUbM1aWvRjvuKcArPpk4vpadrkQgWh_A9wHx1TMq-xD5rQxMBPDku0Uy4ufcBuVbj1_vCdXbdmGUfoZPPNuRbkc8o_G9OrebcuwkYVY2Z-0v1vVT8orsBTuQatXMpr-S-bg0yThrmA5v1g=s2316" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2316" data-original-width="1816" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjLJFO4bnfczfQ0WJMYEveWgym4W71wTU6jS4RLYwGv7aaUbM1aWvRjvuKcArPpk4vpadrkQgWh_A9wHx1TMq-xD5rQxMBPDku0Uy4ufcBuVbj1_vCdXbdmGUfoZPPNuRbkc8o_G9OrebcuwkYVY2Z-0v1vVT8orsBTuQatXMpr-S-bg0yThrmA5v1g=s320" width="251" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh_B-Ta-l_LNBUEgtySVmmArB9RY7OZfMBhUwaiu0D1zevsleJowMbHV7L0njum_cRe5iqUGwtxKNPEh-oMlMHc4NXcYr79TEmWUZ_cvmdMiV-ZmRaFRvnBEYKAOwdtUNvMcl14znVCmTWA6GzA9SS7uvi2fATJ12eko4pZPVGLGjvbbgL2rFLv0j5V=s2315" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2315" data-original-width="1934" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh_B-Ta-l_LNBUEgtySVmmArB9RY7OZfMBhUwaiu0D1zevsleJowMbHV7L0njum_cRe5iqUGwtxKNPEh-oMlMHc4NXcYr79TEmWUZ_cvmdMiV-ZmRaFRvnBEYKAOwdtUNvMcl14znVCmTWA6GzA9SS7uvi2fATJ12eko4pZPVGLGjvbbgL2rFLv0j5V=s320" width="267" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg46Icqtsp6c9ysVpLhj9-MIOOPduEr7pPmZC967XPULXUhnXFQOR7VBkQVdAwcFvp5oKBK5B3fQxB3kqVRhTOST7nJjK0Km3kETom53v8zYD_8t7k1ICT4W9SHJ8Tml6evpNd9EGaTEYkwYS5IG9d0nKcMBH6xh-hPBHAiubTelH2JkSvmKuhnqg2a=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg46Icqtsp6c9ysVpLhj9-MIOOPduEr7pPmZC967XPULXUhnXFQOR7VBkQVdAwcFvp5oKBK5B3fQxB3kqVRhTOST7nJjK0Km3kETom53v8zYD_8t7k1ICT4W9SHJ8Tml6evpNd9EGaTEYkwYS5IG9d0nKcMBH6xh-hPBHAiubTelH2JkSvmKuhnqg2a=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br />Cyndihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05527359051677516044noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469867113169266423.post-44478451164180227952021-11-01T13:31:00.001-07:002021-11-01T13:31:16.608-07:00October Mini with Wendy<p> Finally! Finished my replica of an antique doll quilt I've seen kicking around the internet for a while! Anyway....it was started in June but just couldn't find time to seek the fabrics I wanted to use. I can sometimes remember What fabric I want to use but can't remember Where it is! I spent far too much time seeking fabric and I hope I don't get that urge again! After I had the quilt sandwiched, I found another fabric I liked better for the sashing but did not have the gumption to take it apart! </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqW2KsMne1rELzvtnGC13pLcju1wUBN9ACVc7sbRqRusKVkihzk8TeapJ0vVXssQX4hkrRxnCFS0D6ScIHzlFrjCEZPefUBTR7gaxSRM7taPQYNhFiLygVa7G6K16PZX8mDVtoFhFWl4U/s2561/DQ1870Repro.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2561" data-original-width="2548" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqW2KsMne1rELzvtnGC13pLcju1wUBN9ACVc7sbRqRusKVkihzk8TeapJ0vVXssQX4hkrRxnCFS0D6ScIHzlFrjCEZPefUBTR7gaxSRM7taPQYNhFiLygVa7G6K16PZX8mDVtoFhFWl4U/s320/DQ1870Repro.JPG" width="318" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the 1870 doll quilt I was copying.

Their 4-patches look to be about 2" but mine are 1"......love using the tiniest bits instead of throwing them away! Someone else loved this quilt, too, and made her version of it.....Lori D of HumbleQuilts blog Check it out! Was not able to create links.....sorry. </span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQQyDIqSwnk3VKATB8az8wxuuFmFYwXpqKeJDUUui7RcyZVymKqXhhCC8JSerw8GQoTglzz2zbU5hPoyZeh-eggd2-hi7tXjoDk_yBs30efNJYnecF5rkjOTtqHPfQlc67PSj1xSaAqLU/s2048/QMini4Patch.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1974" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQQyDIqSwnk3VKATB8az8wxuuFmFYwXpqKeJDUUui7RcyZVymKqXhhCC8JSerw8GQoTglzz2zbU5hPoyZeh-eggd2-hi7tXjoDk_yBs30efNJYnecF5rkjOTtqHPfQlc67PSj1xSaAqLU/s320/QMini4Patch.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">My quilt is machine-quilted hidden in the ditch as I am not a good machine quilter.

Long story on this one is that as you can see, Jo Morton's pattern is dated 1995 and I believe that is when I made the two stars. Well, I either lost them or put them away (you know how that is....can't remember much any more!). Every once in a while they would resurface and I would tell myself to finish the quilt......but didn't! Well, now it is finished and here it is a day late.....finished the binding at 10pm last night! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp9kHAXmQ7xGj0sWKDy5o6bTAyB0vHk-VQxY49UDJ9hnyhdR55Ee9hoMECyELHPiWPkPFgCg_cXZvWASVW4lNzXCUAaqJity9bIAqkjn5TGHtmYswIPLKnaZVffz2AMtfJ8VLD5Ym4nJo/s2048/JoAmanda.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1239" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp9kHAXmQ7xGj0sWKDy5o6bTAyB0vHk-VQxY49UDJ9hnyhdR55Ee9hoMECyELHPiWPkPFgCg_cXZvWASVW4lNzXCUAaqJity9bIAqkjn5TGHtmYswIPLKnaZVffz2AMtfJ8VLD5Ym4nJo/s320/JoAmanda.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijjAWXpYkscAQ3sylbALFk6sybpVH_G6sg_uDF3jJVA6qwS06R2TUozbf1T1mSIqTVda544R48bdELMH28EeDnDlmqG0zWxhxGIPe3DyOyrqM6mlKYojOoDawdeCPBqkSERJJzUUUCxwY/s2048/JoAmanda1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijjAWXpYkscAQ3sylbALFk6sybpVH_G6sg_uDF3jJVA6qwS06R2TUozbf1T1mSIqTVda544R48bdELMH28EeDnDlmqG0zWxhxGIPe3DyOyrqM6mlKYojOoDawdeCPBqkSERJJzUUUCxwY/s320/JoAmanda1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have <b>lots</b> of tops that need finishing and with my so-called free time due to Covid, I should be sewing!

No A/C in upstairs sewing room so will need to work on the laptop downstairs.............hope tomorrow is cooler! <br />
<br />
Life is slower, for sure, these days and I find I am enjoying it immensely! So much so that I am calling myself "semi-retired". On Feb 1st, I started my Retirement Sale and then was sidelined for 4 months. Life has changed for the forseeable future and it's not too hard for me to cope with that as I am a Homebody at heart! Am sure that there have been many Good Things come out of this situation, especially for quilters and others with hobbies. In fact, I read somewhere that the Shutdown was what Quilters had been waiting for! On June 19th I re-opened the shop for Fridays and Saturdays only by appointment only for one or two people at a time......Retirement Sale will continue in this manner until I decide it is over! Probably won't be for a year, maybe more, now that 4 months have been lost. Even then I am sure all the fabric won't be depleted!!<br />
<br />
My first Shutdown project was, and continues to be, the quilt on the cover of Quiltmania #132.....no idea why the quilt appeals to me so much, other than being Scrappy, Scrappy! Well, yes, there is another reason.....I found two other quilts on a MA antique dealer website that had that unique red hourglass center and were from Eliot, Maine. Probable that the QM #132 quilt has a connection even tho no info about the quilt was known......no owner, no location mentioned in the magazine. Anyway, it's been enjoyable to work on the quilt.......picking up scraps around the sewing room and looking for old favorites that come to mind. AND, here and there, there are tiny quilt blocks interspersed throughout the borders. Maybe that was the appeal! Anyway, I've made a few tiny blocks.<br />
<br />
One thing that hasn't changed is my penchant for having Many Projects on the go at any given time! No willpower to resist starting something new that interests me! Didn't someone once say that Variety is the Spice of Life?</font><div><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div><font face="verdana">This is the Quiltmania cover quilt. Original quilt finished size is about 49" x 70", so I will just not add the rows that elongate the top and bottom. Only about 3" from being a square quilt which is what I prefer if planning to use on my own bed.<br /></font>

Still doing what I always do! Not much changes and that's how I like it (highly resistant to change!) Running the shop, Starting new quilts, Finishing a few! Working on several (actually Many!) projects at one time so it is a long time between "finishes"! And, I will admit that I have found Instagram and have made a few postings there which I find quick and easy! BUT, if you count the time I spend perusing everyone's postings, I've lost the time I thought I had found!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Long Time Gone in Repros...this is the upper left corner.....made my own mini version of the Jacob's Ladder section. Plan to make a few other changes too.....smaller Bow Tie blocks, postage stamp block instead of Trip Around the World, center chimney Log Cabin blocks instead of "off-center log cabin blocks".......you know how it is, we are inspired by patterns written by others but change them according to our own likes and preferences!</span><br />

S<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">tack of eighty 6" log cabin blocks that need one more round of logs! For an 84" x 84" quilt, I will need 196 so have started a stack of 116! Rather enjoy "mindless" chain - piecing while listening to audiobooks......currently it is "Before We Were Yours" by Lisa Wingate, based on the true story of a notorious woman named Georgia Tann who ran an orphanage in Memphis for about 30 years ending in 1950. Other books I've recently listened to are "Where the Crawdads Sing", "The Tatooist of Auschwitz", "Cilka's Journey", "Auschwitz Lullaby","The Clockmaker's Daughter" by Kate Morton, "The Great Alone"and "Winter Garden" both by Kristin Hannah......slow start to "Winter Garden" but glad I hung in there for the Real Story in the second half of the book! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using 1" strips as "Leaders and Enders" I have made 3-1/2" Railfence blocks.... 607 made and need 177 more for an 84" x 84" quilt. Pictured above is a quarter section of my planned quilt. I think I will find it easier to handquilt if I do it in sections and then join together. This Quarter section is 14 rows by 14 rows, which means 196 blocks and 1176 log strips! And guess what! There is a Duplication in two blocks that are close to each other! Happens every time! Don't care!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Made the darling Diamonds quilt all by hand this summer (well, except for borders/binding!). Quite enjoyable to sit and piece by hand during quiet times in the shop and then quilting by hand. Pattern is from Betsy Chutchian's book "Quilts For All Seasons". The "change" that I made in this quilt is that I made 2" diamonds as I had an Ardco window-template for that size.....Betsy's were 1-1/2". </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Will end today's post with a bit about our 19-year-old Maine coon cat, Sally. She was dropped off here as a very tiny kitten (too small to be away from her mother!) in the fall of 2000. My husband found her lying on the back of a resting cow.....we then knew she would be resourceful, and even opportunistic! She's had a great life! Roamed and did as she pleased for many years! Still does in the summer months, but now her favorite spot is right beside the woodstove and vocalizes if it runs out of heat! She disappeared a couple times.....the last time for about 5 days......when she dragged herself home (wish I could know where she had been!), she was thin and scruffy-looking and had a single deep wound in her neck. My husband (farmer who has nursed many animals over the years for many maladies) pulled her through. Though I thought she was goner, she is not.....has gained weight, appears healthy and has returned to her mostly ornery and aloof self!</span></div>

Bet you know what I've been doing! New Starts, of course! Actually, two are finished! A friend came to the shop last July with a medallion quilt she made with soft colors which I immediately loved! Not having worked so much with softer colors, I decided to give it a go. Found this little square of an older Judie Rothermel Toile and began! Made this little tablemat that I love! </div>

Another "Start" would be this Half-Square Triangle quilt using Jo Morton's "Hickory Road".....just cut a charm pack into fourths, paired up with a light and produced 320 units....number works perfect for a 16 x 20 setting! Half done..................</div>

Loved this blue colorway of "St. Louis" by Evonne Cook for Washington Street Studios and thought I would work up a single block into a tablemat/wallhanging size. The block is "Massachusetts" (made a much smaller quilt years ago using a single block). I think someone has recently written a book about making small quilts, tablemats or wallhangings from a single enlarged quilt block pattern and I thought it a marvelous idea!</div>

Cut a 16-1/2" square of Di Ford-Hall's new "Rochester" line for a fullsize center medallion. Will use some of her other "Rochester" fabrics and any others (tho likely hers from previous lines) that strike my fancy! Plan at the moment is to make plain fabric borders until I feel like it's big enough.........and then I will have Another Quilt to add to the Handquilting pile (still working on my Hewson panel center medallion, tho I have not touched it in nearly a year! I need to finish the boring start-and-stop triangle border so I will have a plain border to quilt a cable or some such design that I enjoy doing!) Am handquilting the final border of a small Jo Morton quilt so I will soon have a "Finish"!<br />

These piecing projects have taken some of my time this winter......quiet hours in my sewing room listening to audiobooks......."Winter Garden" by Kristen Hannah at the moment. Loved her book, "The Nightingale"! Six inch log cabin blocks for a fullsize quilt Someday. And the Circa 1880 quilt by Pam Buda....throwing in a few odd blocks here and there just for fun!<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the upper left corner HST unit and 3 paper-pieced Pineapple blocks. The dark beige sashing is my second choice, having already removed a lighter one. NOW, this tiny little print (seen at far right) shows up and I really don't want to remove/replace again (tho it is only two pieces!). I really like the plain sashing as I think it defines the block areas whereas the print sort of blends, But everyone else seems to like the print better! Really like working on LTG as it is just done in small bits at a time. I have a triangle row ready and the next section is "Jacob's Ladder" which I am going to change to look more like real JL blocks! Found some antique ones on eBay that I am using for inspiration.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yesterday I finally had some sewing time (have been taking Wed off this winter for some sewing time and yesterday was the First Wed that something else did not take precedence!!!) After spending time thinking about Which Project to work on (too numerous to count!), I decided to make the first row from Pam Buda's Circa 1880 club. The background is Aged Muslin by Marcus and until I washed it, it felt too stiff to work with. But, once washed, it softened up.....the weave is fine and tight and I liked sewing with it. Since I swapped blocks with 3 other ladies, I have enough to make a good start and will only need about 150 more. These blocks are absolutely precious and finish at 2".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The log cabin blocks above are my most current project and is getting most of my attention this winter. About to start the fourth round of light, I decided I needed more (that is Different) fabrics so spent time taking 6-1/2" strips off a stack of light fabrics so I could make 1" strips and 1-1/2" strips which are what I seem to use the most. Have more fabrics to cut strips from but will wait until I am ready for the fifth and final round. The blocks finish at 6" and I love them! Made a wallhanging using 16 blocks that I just Loved after I hand-quilted each log! Now I want one for my bed! Another LTP (Long Term Project as Jeana Kimball calls it!) Have Lots of those!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was intended to be a short post and it just kept growing as I thought of things! I'll leave you with this photo of an old, wonky Pineapple quilt! Before Christmas, I decided I'd looked at the quilt that had been hanging on the wall for years (sun never touches it)! This was the first quilt I could lay my hands on......its imperfection is rather charming (tho we would never stand to do it ourselves, would we?) and it is a great selection of fabrics to study!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From Edyta, above, the paper-piecing for this 7-1/2"block is done on the printed side of the paper instead of from the back....easier......not yet trimmed closely or removed from paper to prevent fraying until I am ready to assemble. Technique reminded me that we did this method back in the 1980's using paper foundations from the Little Foot people (Little Foot is a 1/4-inch foot made for Singer Featherweight machines).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The three 5"blocks, above, from "Long Time Gone" are Pineapples done in the traditional paper-piecing method (sewing done on the reverse of the printed pattern). I am planning to assemble this quilt as I go......these 3 blocks will be attached to the half-square triangle unit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then, I experimented with printing the tiny "Courthouse Step" foundations (below) from Pam's "Vintage Patchwork" onto muslin so I would not have to tear paper (in other words, also creating log cabin blocks on a foundation as done "back in the day"!) Photocopied the patterns onto paper (two on a page) to use a "masters". Ironed freezer paper onto old-fashioned muslin (slightly oversized from 8-1/2" x 11" paper size. Cut to size with rotary cutter for nice crisp edges and sent it into my printer! Worked great but I did watch the printer with a bit of trepidation hoping it would spit it out and not eat it up!</span><br />

The pattern instructions and the Quiltmaking Techniques are both her usual top-notch style and I am sure even beginners will easily make the designs!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Not much sewing got done around here this summer..........it was hotter/more humid than it has been in a long time and with my sewing room on the second floor, it was too hot to work there! So I missed my girl......we've been working together since 1990 and we are getting re-acquainted now.....latest sewing was tablerunners for my church craft fair Nov 17 and adding logs to my 6" log cabin blocks. </span><br />

Little tiny Uneven 9-patch blocks for a quilt needing 500+ of them! And to see a glimpse of her quilt and heaps of little blocks!

Spent an hour at the New England Quilt Museum exhibit, "All in the Family", talking with Pam Weeks and Laura Lane about the magnificent reproductions that were displayed. The exquisite applique quilts were made by sisters Beatrice Smith Utley and Barbara Smith Gray. beginning in the 1980's......before the age of appropriate reproduction fabrics we have now....BUT you will be amazed at what they did with what they could find, which were often decorator fabrics. Anitz Loscalzo wrote an excellent, detailed article about these quilts and their makers in the current issue of "Blanket Statements", the quarterly newsletter from the American Quilt Study Group.<br />
This Baltimore Album-Style Quilt was made in 199l<br />

This was my Personal Favorite, a Broderie Perse Quilt Top, made in 1996. The workmanship is beyond exquisite! Center medallion of Broderie Perse bouquet surrounded with cutouts from colorful Toile that I just love! Now for the most amazing thing......this Broderie Perse is done with teeny, tiny Buttonhole stitch with meticulous attention to matching thread colors to fabric colors! <br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have made one block for the "Long Time Gone" quilt by Jen Kingwell.......have since found out that several friends are making it also! Since I love HST's, and already have a basketful of hundreds of them (did I mention previously that these are also a Leader/Ender project?)</span></div>

Need to also check to see if I have any Orphan blocks that I could use.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While I was sewing the LTG block, I decided to experiment with assembly plan of the original project idea I planned......a fullsize quilt of the 2" HST's. Decided to make 4-patches that will enable me to assemble with all seams opposing to reduce bulk. Should have taken a photo of the back of my units to show how I spun the center and pressed the seams.......will do that for next time!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">According to my notes, I began this quilt in 2013......it was supposed to be 9-patches surrounded by sashing but I prefer alternate blocks. Did not get very far with plain fabric alternate blocks from the fabric line I was using (History Repeated by Julie Hendrickson) before I decided I wanted it to have a more flamboyant personality....therefore, added random pieced or appliqued blocks here and there! I have decided that I just like making blocks! </span><br />

Love Betsy Chutchian's new book, "Quilts For All Seasons" from Quiltmania and this little quilt struck my fancy......probably because of all the "Oldies But Goodies" she used! I decided to use 2" diamonds instead of 1.5" just to show the fabric designs a teeny bit more......am using an Ardco template and hand-piecing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think this is the longest I have ever gone without writing a post since I started this blog (back in 2010)!!! It's been a Long Winter and it ain't over yet!! Two days after the snow disappeared from the pastures, the cows' noses were to the ground! Green was showing up! One would think I would have lots of quilting projects accomplished during this winter but not so! One Big Job (I say Big Job because it was not something I Wanted to do but Had to do!) was to make a new ironing board cover......bought yards and yards of this twill at a local remnant shop years ago and it should last my whole life! I took a photo of the old, disgusting one but would be too embarrassed to show it to anyone! </span><br />

The squirrels who chewed a hold in the peak of my building and moved into the attic were less than wonderful (in fact, a nightmare!) and have been caught in Have A Heart trap and given "transportation"!!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is what is in my hoop now......a center medallion (Hewson's vase/bird panel repro) and I am now out to border #4....found a nice little leafy design that fills those triangles pretty nicely. But then I get to do the next border with a cable.....love to quilt cables. Did a rather simple one for the first border and can't decide if I want to continue on with the same on or find another....I'll cross that bridge when I come to it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> which, of course, is just the way I like it! However, it doesn't offer much about which to talk (write!).......well, actually I found a few things since it has been So Long since I have written a blog post!! Spent quiet time in the shop handstitching the bindings on these two pieces. Left is "GreenAcres" by Jo Morton. This was a club project but I found it available <a href="http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/quilt-patterns/table-runners/green-acres-doll-quilt">here</a> at AllPeopleQuilt, in case you would also like to make one! It is about 15" x 18". On the right is a tablerunner made of charm squares from Jo Morton's "Gratitude" and "Reflections", using Miss Rosie's Large Crumbler template (several sizes can be cut from the template.....a smaller Crumbler template is also available.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So, it is Started! Everyone knows how good I am about "Starts" and not so good about "Finishes". Tho I try.....not ready to make it a New Year's Resolution yet.....It is actually now assembled as far as the flying geese border but forgot to take a photo! Lots of Snow Weather happening in Maine now and through Christmas so I should find lots of Sewing Time! Interspersed with filling the woodstoves so we will be cozy and warm!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My Leaders/Enders project is coming along! Need 576 blocks of the 3" Railfence blocks for a 72" x 72" quilt and now have 555! As usual, have changed my mind and should make a larger quilt. That size is fine for me but this quilt will end up someday with one of my children and they need larger quilts!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No worries......Easy to make more! Many shoeboxes of 1" strips waiting for me! The smaller box contains the "cutaways" from the 6" x 1" strips that just fit one of logs on the 6" log cabins that will like be my next "Leaders/Enders"! I liked the small Log Cabin quilt that I made for the quilt show that I want to make a bed-sized one! And then Handquilt it......just because I loved the feel of that handquilted Quilt!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And since I love the Sunburst block so much, I think I'll make Another One! A six inch block for my Enhanced 9-Patch that will contain a Sampler of many blocks just because it is more interesting to work on! I have chosen to use Cindy Blackberg's stamp patterns for this one.....stamping all the pieces was easier and quicker than I thought it would be! Back someday with my finished block!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I do manage to finish a quilt! Albeit a small 24" x 24" one! I was not intending to handquilt this beyond the red center squares but was not happy with it......sooooo, I quilted each log and now I am Very Happy with it.......it is SO Cozy and Soft that now (looks crinkly as if I had washed it!) I think I should get busy and make Many Many More Log Cabin blocks (6") for a fullsize quilt. Guess I don't think I have enough WIPs!! AND, I am ready....several shoeboxes full of 1" strips are ready and waiting! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Decided to quilt these blocks as Jo Morton often does.......just a scant bit from the outside edge of the log. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think I like it better than quilting down the center of each log! (Except for when the last round has the seam allowance under it!). When I handquilt, I tend to pull the stitches just a tad and I wonder if that created that crinkled (washed) look? Maybe it is the close (1/2") quilting.........I soon must send it off and won't see it for 3 years .....hence, the Strong Desire to make another one soon! Both daughters want this little one as a table topper so I will likely make another one this size and then a fullsize for Me! Or............my Railfence blocks are piling up and will soon have enough to make the fullsize quilt top. Maybe I should handquilt that one............good thing I don't mind working on several projects at once which, of course, prolongs the completion date of any of them!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Got some major obligations completed recently (Love getting things Done and off my mind so I can concentrate on doing What I Like to Do instead of What I Have to Do!) and can now spend time handquilting the Medallion quilt I started piecing a couple years ago. Center (the Hewson panel) is cross-hatched in a 1" grid and I am now working a single cable along the 1-1/2" brown border. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Seven bolts of "Compassion" Collection for a Cause from Moda. These first four bolts remind me of the old "seaweed" pattern (in pink, blue, mint green, tan, purple, yellow) that we could order from P&B for literally Years (about 8-10 as I recall). Used them in So Many Quilts! Lovely for backgrounds!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This new book is from one of the Nineteenth Century Patchwork Divas (includes fabric designer Betsy Chutchian) in Texas, a group that makes wonderful reproduction quilts. This book is different in that she presents lessons on dating blue fabrics! Timelines of 1840 and Earlier, Mid-century 1840-1870, Late-century 1870-1900 both in fabrics and styles of quilts. Makes for a very interesting read and there are at least 2 quilts that I would like to start NOW....but that is unrealistic for me at the moment!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A friend of Wendy's brought this quilt top to show me.....love it when folks do that! My favorite name for this pattern is "Old Maid's Puzzle" (Brackman 1689a)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but there are others. Wonder what the maker called it, if anything! Just noticed after I put up the above photo that the blocks are not all oriented the same way....did not notice that when photographing the individual blocks!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think the fabrics are around 1840-50.......the paisley-like sashing fabric with its rust background seems unique to me....not sure I have seen anything like</span></div>
