I especially enjoyed noticing the variety of colors in the sky.<br />

It needed borders and I knew I'd have a large table set at a high height and covered with cutting mats.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Iuu0sQpCy6BAnv5104BIplhV1Yait6v6LSx8dsIFTzjJXxcvMs0o34vK8Xkxc2xyl_ftvhI4hyphenhyphenUeaqeAUD3rFMK1NDGxaF8MNvxkSUp_lVgJqfo8P8LnuodfuunybVMiwMUghOPR4w/s1600/1-DSCF3334.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Iuu0sQpCy6BAnv5104BIplhV1Yait6v6LSx8dsIFTzjJXxcvMs0o34vK8Xkxc2xyl_ftvhI4hyphenhyphenUeaqeAUD3rFMK1NDGxaF8MNvxkSUp_lVgJqfo8P8LnuodfuunybVMiwMUghOPR4w/s640/1-DSCF3334.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
The red border seems to jump to the foreground in the photo, but it's not really that commanding. These blocks are from a block swap and I used the BQ2 pattern for the layout. There are about 4 BQ patterns now. BQ stands for Big Quilt. Somehow, I missed that connection until I realized that this one will be tough to quilt. I think it will fit on the frame - barely.<br />
<br />
Once completed, it will cover our guest bed. I haven't made many bed quilts and I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished. <br />

All the blocks are so intricate and interesting. Most were paper pieced.<br />

It was sew fun to make the time to sew and chat with dear friends.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here's the first top I finished. I had blocks made and some of the sashing sewn to each block to form an L, but started by adding the rest of the sashing pieces. Almost every seam was sewn, ripped out and resewn. I guess that's the penalty for ignoring my sewing room for so long.<br />
<br />
I'm pleased with the overall result and this one has already whispered to me a recipient's name. It will be the next on the frame.<br />
<br />
Here's a close up to show off some of the fabrics. This collection is called Serenade from Moda.<br />

Our guild invited Wanda from <a href="http://www.oldsouthfabrics.com/" target="_blank">Old South Fabrics</a> to present a program and teach this pattern in a class. We had a great time and enjoyed Wanda's company and knowledge. This design starts with 3 charm packs and a little extra yardage for sashing and borders. It's called Clovers by Fig Tree & Company. <br />
<br />
A special note to Sara and Libby :<br />
Hi ladies! Sorry it's been so long since I posted. It's been a busy season with another high school graduate this spring and spending Spring Break with my dad to celebrate his 75th birthday and trying to get the garden planted and and planning a graduation party and a special 75th birthday party for my mom and planning the guild's May program and then ... work. My part-time self has been working 8+ hours (sometimes even 10) for the past month or so. I'm actually enjoying the challenge at work, but I'll need to find the balance again.<br />
Prom night was exciting for my senior and she looked stunning all dressed up. Overall, she still prefers yoga pants and tee shirts with no makeup. 3 inch sparkling silver heels made her at or slightly over 6 feet tall, which her date noticed immediately with a little dismay. She might have been 1/2 inch taller - no big deal. This summer, she'll study abroad in Belize as a pre-freshman at Auburn University. She received the housing assignment yesterday and will be in the honors dorm in The Village on campus, her first choice. She's been texting some of her roommates and is getting excited to start her college career. The AP calculus test was yesterday and she's taking AP physics tomorrow, then computer science next Monday. Also all her regular finals are next week, plus awards ceremonies, a banquet, grad practice, and on and on. Whew!<br />
My college freshman is now officially a college sophomore and has moved back home. Her belongings are spread throughout the house. Oh my! No one warned me about that! It's so comforting to have the whole family sleeping under one roof again and I wouldn't trade the extra rolling chair and laundry baskets for getting to spend the summer with her. I'm so thrilled and proud to see that spark of excitement which has ignited with her programming class and I look forward to watching that continue. She's made a few friends and I'm happy to see her enjoying college now rather than just enduring it. Oh and she's driving my FIL's old pickup truck, which is waaaaay hipster and quirky. We need to improve / fix the stereo and especially the air conditioning. Self-defense and juditsu have been her "fun" classes and she has loved these. I think we'll continue to see her thrive in martial arts, although this fall, I think she's taking a body sculpting/fitness class.<br />
Darling Husband is enjoying his rocket science, soccer, whipping the yard into shape, and laughing at me and my crazy antics. I was worried when he torched the yard and I'd already considering outdoor carpet for the above mentioned parties, but his grass seed has sprouted and it looks adorable with those baby blades of grass. Another week or so of sunshine and the bare spots will be covered. He and I spent a romantic night working on one of his fortran genetic algorithms together. We modified his code successfully after playing detective to trace the logic. Sometimes we wonder what "normal" families do for entertainment.<br />
Libby, consider yourself missed. Oh how we wish our friends live closer together so we can gather more often.<br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day!<br />

It's a fun way for me to work on a few blocks each month to bless someone else. Both the Feb and March blocks are meant to be patriotic. The February quilt will be a sampler, so we could make a block of our choosing.<br />
<br />
I saw this one on a Facebook post for Craftsy and wanted to try it. How fun! I love the end result, but I truly didn't consider how long each block would take. That's 57 pieces of fabric in each.<br />

These stars are so pretty. I may decide to make them again.<br />
<br />
March's blocks are requested to be 9 patches. Here are mine. These were very quick to make and I had just enough of this white-on-white to use for a couple of blocks.<br />

I can't wait to see the quilts made from our Sunshine blocks this year. If possible, I'll link to them on this blog once they become a quilt.<br />

A Lot Like ChristmasHere's another Christmas quilt. I'm working on the borders, so it's still on the frame. This piecing pattern is the Missouri Star Company's Double Slice Layer Cake. It's a quick pattern and works well for busy prints.<br />
<br />
The backing is a cream colored minkee. I really love how the quilting shows up so well on the minkee side, but blends in on the top. Ooooh! That soft, cushy feel of minkee! It makes a lovely quilt back.<br />

<br />
I borrowed some of Lori Kennedy's inspiration for this quilting with the poinsettias and ribbons. You can find her blog and tutorials at <a href="http://theinboxjaunt.com/quilt/free-motion-quilting-tutorials/" target="_blank">theinboxjaunt</a>. I like her designs and her tutorials are well organized.<br />
<br />

After quilting the swags and holly in the wide border, I needed more to fill in the open spaces. These bows and long ribbons are a little strange in that they remind me of an octopus. My hopes are that they won't mess up the overall effect and before I'm finished, I might like them a little more.<br />
<br />
I'll share the back side of this quilt soon after it comes off the frame. So, although the tree is gone and the lights are put away, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in this household. A few items on my gift list for next season will be checked off early. Woohoo!<br />
<br />

I didn't finish all the Christmas projects I'd hoped to make this past fall. So this is a good time to get them ready early.<br />
<br />
This panel wall hanging stayed on the frame through the season and was quilted in early January. The binding is attached, but needs the hand-stitching. I love to bring a quilt in this stage with me anywhere I need to sit still and behave. It's relaxing and helps me to be patient instead of squirmy.<br />
<br />
I think I'll enjoy displaying it when December rolls around. As a wall hanging, I didn't go overboard with the quilting. Just enough to trace an accent or two in each rectangle. I used red, green and gold threads to keep the quilting more subtle.<br />

It's for an online sewing group called the Sunshine Quilters. Each month, a hostess accepts the donation blocks and makes a quilt to bring a little sunshine into someone's life.<br />

The hostess picks the theme, block size and/or colors. They also select a recipient organization such as Project Linus or Quilts of Valor. Some requests are very open ended and others are more specific.<br />
<br />
I need to get started on some patriotic blocks for next month. <br />

They have an HW Sweet 16 sitdown longarm machine there, so last weekend, while I was there, I helped them get this one quilted. I think they are presenting it tomorrow.<br />
<br />

<br />
I really like this string pattern with the white stars. It's forms such a striking pattern. Plus, it's perfect for using up scraps. You can find the book/pattern on Bobbie and Ginger's website : <a href="http://stripsandstrings.com/" target="_blank">Strips and Strings</a>.<br />
<br />
Here's a closeup of the front quilting. I wanted to use something that is masculine and compliments the top's design. Simple stitch-in-the-ditch and outlines of the white stars, then waving lines in the strings. The navy border needed some fireworks for fun and pizazz.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here's the back side. I like the design that the quilting stitches made.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So, after using my frame and their sitdown machine, I've decided that I really love my frame. With the sitdown machine, at first I fought gravity as the quilt slipped off the small table. We set up 2 tables on either side to form a U shaped workspace with me sitting in the middle. This helped a lot and the quilting went easier after that setup, but the frame quilting supports the weight of the quilt entirely and the machine glides so effortlessly on its wheeled base.<br />
<br />
Also, when I quilt my machine, I use the stitch regulator. For this quilt, I did not use it (although we could have read instructions and set it up). It took a little while to get the hang of not speeding up too much in the middle of the waves since I slowed down at the ends to stitch down the straight lines. It's not perfect (and neither is my stitch regulator), but it turned out pretty nice.<br />
<br />
An online order for some quilt backing just arrived, so I can get busy quilting a few tops I have stacked up here at home too. Maybe a few of these will end up under the tree next month.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day!<br />

These stars have been fun to make for my Superman quilt. It's an easy project to do when I have 15 or 30 minutes. This one will be gifted to one of our new babies who are a part of our church. I've also been able to enjoy the wildlife as the sun rises and sets.<br />
<br />
BTW, for those who do not know this about me. I do <u>not</u> have a cat. His name is Vincent (as in Van Gogh). He's missing part of an ear. And he is not my cat.<br />

Some of the quilting details in those 5 inch blocks.<br />
<br />
Amongst the schedule filled with band competitions and college visits, I'm looking forward to a quilting retreat next week. It will be fun to reunite with quilty friends. Oh my the full belly laughs we share!<br />
<br />
Well, it's time to get organized and dash off to work. I'm thankful for my job with a renewed challenge.<br />

Starting a New QuiltI like making small quilts for babies. It's a quick and fun way to try something new and to use bright colors. Some distant time ago, I found this Superman fabric on sale and tucked it away with a few primary colors. I think I'll make stars for the front and use the Superman for the back. Maybe a border with the wavy red, white and blue.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Maybe 8 inch star blocks in 5 rows by 5 columns. I think it will be cute. Hmmm, might re-think that possible border fabric. It looks better in person than in the photo, but it's not perfect.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day! I've wasted 2 hours because I was up "early" from the time change. So now I'm late. Hope I can quickly get ready for our church service. Whoops!<br />

It's been so long, I was beginning to think this quilt would stay perpetually "in progress". However, I'm pleased and thrilled to report that this quilt is now quilted and trimmed. Now I'm working on the hand stitching on the binding. It's such a large quilt, it will be a challenge as a take along project. I enjoy this stage of a quilt because it's a chance to enjoy the work on it before it goes to its new home.<br />
<br />
Over the next few days, I'll post a few close up photos as a celebration. I'll do my best to get the bright colors to look as bright in the photos as they appear to the eye.<br />
<br />
I marked the borders with a homemade template and pounce chalk. It's messy but very helpful in laying out the basic shapes. I like getting to iron it after the quilting and watching the powder disappear.<br />

As a follow up to the cotton blossoms I posted earlier, here's the field right before the cotton was harvested. When I'd walk outside, I'd think "snow". It was a pretty sight for the last month. Now it's all neatly mowed down and we can see the deer walking across the field again.<br />

It's taken me way longer than it should have, since it was built and painted around May or June. So I finally bought the hardware to hang this thread cabinet yesterday. Mr. SeeingStars gets applause for helping me with each step of this project. <br />
<br />
I tried to build the box and realized it's not as easy to make it have right angles as I'd anticipated. So there was a little disassembly and then supervised assembly involved.<br />

I have kept <a href="http://creativehomemakers.blogspot.com/2011/01/sewing-thread-holder.html" target="_blank">The Creative Homemaker's blog</a> bookmarked since it's my inspiration for this project. With a quick seam or two, I'll have a sheer curtain to keep the dust off the cones of thread.<br />
<br />
Since the studio gets lots of sunshine, this cabinet is in the laundry room right next to the door to the studio. I keep my here in a laundry room closet for sun protection too. Plus, the studio looks neater without everything piling up.<br />
<br />
I have lots more cones of thread, so I could make another one or two and fill them up as well. But for now, I'll put this one to good use.<br />
<br />
I have my mom's quilt back on the frame now. I've started Row 3 of 4. So maybe today I can get a little more of this row finished today. I'm eager to finish this one up and have it ready for to give to her when I see her next - probably at Christmas time.<br />

Although the top was finished last Spring, it was quilted last week. You can see that I'm using those neat little clips to hand stitch the last side of the binding.<br />
<br />
The free pattern came from <a href="http://www.modabakeshop.com/2014/02/beach-ball-baby-quilt.html" target="_blank">Moda Bakeshop</a><br />

<br />
This is belatedly made for a sweet baby with a pink and orange room. So I was asked to include those colors in her quilt.<br />
<br />
Now I need some advice. The quilting concerns me a little bit. I made it less dense on purpose, but I'm not sure I like it now.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpf-Fy1F40kbLwC3zAylb-KMZVCUb_RrWmSuh1iY6BnVpReCCIXXHC_Xk0L9ZWIvbV5Wbp_-MkPeB-BzPiVddTdMNsfATMRKiNYFtgQWImhHHk29lSFj6unHssyVQ50XObte94AETHyw/s1600/1-DSCF3063.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpf-Fy1F40kbLwC3zAylb-KMZVCUb_RrWmSuh1iY6BnVpReCCIXXHC_Xk0L9ZWIvbV5Wbp_-MkPeB-BzPiVddTdMNsfATMRKiNYFtgQWImhHHk29lSFj6unHssyVQ50XObte94AETHyw/s1600/1-DSCF3063.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The beach balls are quilted with butterflies and a more dense.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76bNo1uYQtxmD4DFoqUIirAsqLEzjhl7EG6F_WzEUlT1I5pl3ZhyNCYTiJ0nxQj-jaU_7FDDPlKRPeJ-N1jtW3LgLgfu6DjvTYS-1CRDL56gyoGW2PVDRAs2Vsmyr6Nl8tUhFEQqRFA/s1600/1-DSCF3064.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj76bNo1uYQtxmD4DFoqUIirAsqLEzjhl7EG6F_WzEUlT1I5pl3ZhyNCYTiJ0nxQj-jaU_7FDDPlKRPeJ-N1jtW3LgLgfu6DjvTYS-1CRDL56gyoGW2PVDRAs2Vsmyr6Nl8tUhFEQqRFA/s1600/1-DSCF3064.JPG" height="640" width="598" /></a></div>
While the background is quilted with smaller flowers and is spaced much farther apart. The quilt seems like there is excess fabric on the backing side. I'm hoping that I can fluff it up in the dryer and the batting will expand enough to make it less baggy.<br />
<br />
But if not, I'll need to add some extra quilting stitches in the background. If I do this, I'd rather not have to start / stop the threads in each section. Any ideas?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaiE2oucwtjE8V84wykxni4-qOwFEQvOrsqF9aVMNOHRemUU5J364H8pYvgJqfv5aWCgVLNSn4W8kH8mE77pF9O8fFhjHLy5MMDpZBch2ACiLbslMXZxqsghQ0J9wxnVwLW_hyeZb6gA/s1600/1-DSCF3065.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaiE2oucwtjE8V84wykxni4-qOwFEQvOrsqF9aVMNOHRemUU5J364H8pYvgJqfv5aWCgVLNSn4W8kH8mE77pF9O8fFhjHLy5MMDpZBch2ACiLbslMXZxqsghQ0J9wxnVwLW_hyeZb6gA/s1600/1-DSCF3065.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This shows some of the excess from the top side. I can block it too, which might help a little. I really want the back side to work as it is with that design to show off the "bones" of the quilt pattern. But I guess it's more important that it functions well. Let's hope the batting fluffs!<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day!<br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">The verses are written with a Pigma pen.

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Tucked into the lantern batik are a few dragonflies which were drawn to the lights. </span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">This couple has looked to God's Word for their direction. It's led them to make wise choices.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">The flowers quilted in the light blue area with the star points at the corners - 25 flowers, one for each year. This was fun to do with free motion. My high school teen, who loves math, was distressed that I'd attempt to put 25 flowers in 4 even rectangles since this is not an even division. It hurt that part of her which wants symmetry and balance, but when it was finished, she decided that it was subtle enough to be okay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">The colors are Connie's favorites. It was fun to pick out batiks in these colors and decide where they should go in this quilt. Their daughter comes to our house often and has helped me tremendously with her advice as I've worked on this one. She also contacted family members to help me collect the verses.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">The rest are from friends and family. If you sense some diversity in these names, you are right. We are a group of people who cross racial lines because of who we are in Christ.

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"><span class="null"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I selected this verse because I've
watched you two sharing every part of your lives with people - your faith, your
BBQ and southern hospitality, your singing, your wise counsel, and your time as
an overflow of your love. I was amazed
that you spent so much time leading the PTO at middle school, even after your
children had moved on. Then I began to
realize what an opportunity to bless the whole community by leading these
meetings prayerfully and guiding the organization in a godly way. Connie, your continual service to the ladies
committee, keeping our LT organized, and teaching the elementary children
haven't gone unnoticed even though Gerry's more in the spotlight on staff and
occasionally preaching. Your example in
marriage is a beautiful testimony of how obediently following God leads to
peace and joy.</span></span></span></div>

Since it's a surprise, I'm not ready to show off the front side yet. However, the back side looks pretty cool too.<br />

Some of the quilting stitches are cream: the continuous curves and the loops in the center, also the mums. Other stitches are a dark purple : compass and the meandering swirls and the borders.<br />

<br />
I'm excited to get this one off the frame after loading it last Friday. My quilting is usually much slower. This time, I worked hard not to over-quilt it.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to present the quilt and then I will share the front side here. <br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day!<br />

Since we're all quilters, I thought you might like to see what your fabric looks like before it's on the bolt.<br />

I like the buds before they blossom too. They look almost alien with all those tentacles and their pyramid shape.<br />

In my studio, I'm working on a new project. However, I'm still moving along on the southwestern quilt. Over half-way finished!<br />

I really like Mariner's Compass blocks. All those sharp points radiating outward like the sun's rays! There are 2 different purples in the star points, but the camera missed that texture.<br />

Enjoy your day!<br />

I'm almost done with the mini blocks. Then I'll quilt in the dark purple sashing before returning to the larger blocks.<br />

Also, I've been working on a thread cabinet like the one described in <a href="http://creativehomemakers.blogspot.com/2011/01/sewing-thread-holder.html" target="_blank">The Creative Homemaker's blog</a>. Here it is drying after the first top coat of paint. I'm excited to hang this up in a closet full of quilting supplies - away from the sunshine, but accessible when needed. <br />
<br />
Mr. Seeing Stars helped me a lot. We mostly used pieces of wood we had stashed in the garage.<br />

There's a field full of cotton behind it. Not many flowers so far. So in a few more days, I'll get a close-up photo of the flowers. They are pretty!<br />

My yellow quilting friend posed for this photo. I'm not sure what kind of bird he is, but maybe some kind of oriole or warbler or vireo. My book shows photos, but his markings don't really match anything that I found. Anyway, he landed on my sunflower and I loved the image. He didn't cooperate for a photo then. My friend, Florida Farm Girl, might be able to help identify him.<br />

<br />
Finally, here are a couple of quilt tops that I made at the beach. I like to have something else to do in the evenings or rainy times besides watching tv. So I pack a few fabrics and notions ... and a machine and table ... and of course a cutting mat and ironing surface ... and soon the whole van is full. My poor family loves me to put up with my shinanigans.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day!<br />

I like the quilting more than I did when I first started. Mostly, I think I've seen what digitized quilting is capable of creating and I wanted to see that type of precise work on this quilt. Even with rulers, I haven't achieved exactly what I was hoping to see. But with each block customized, I'm happy with the result so far.<br />
<br />
Here are a few close ups.<br />

That free hand dragonfly - I ripped out the leg on the left and sketched it with chalk to make it more symmetrical. But somehow, he really wants to kick that leg up a little, so it was quilted with a kick again. This time, it will stay as is.<br />

Here's a preview of Row 2. I plan/hope/really want to get this one done this week. <br />
<br />
When our raccoon bandit passed away, I sort of celebrated that my bird feeders would be able to feed the birds again. However, we have discovered that she left two babies. These little fellas also learned to scale the pole and steal the birdseed just as their mother did. Oh well. Double the trouble, but they sure are cute.<br />
<br />

<br />
I've used Hopi and Pueblo pottery designs as inspiration for the quilting. Here's one of the border cornerstones. I'll use this bird in all four of them.<br />

And here's some of the border design. I like the scroll with the bird head and the variety of designs throughout the scroll.<br />

I have several newsprint pads for scribbling ideas. Typically, I've have 5 or more pages before I find a design I'd like to use. Here are a few of mine for this project. The top zigzag design is used in my dark purple fabric in the photo above. None of the others have been used so far.<br />

I've come up with a neat design to quilt the applique blocks. Now I just need to find that piece of paper. My sewing room is clean, but I've moved that design somewhere when I started thinking of the details of making it happen.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day!<br />

Here's a Quilt Of Valor I hope to deliver to Jimmy today. <br />
<br />
After a bike wreck on Saturday, I'm a little behind and haven't called to see if he's available. As a side note, I am a whimp and don't deal with road rash or bruising very bravely. My family is very patient with me while I'm rebandaging every couple of hours and just being pitiful. However, I am a fast healer and hope hope hope to have my knees and arms better in 2 weeks for a MS fundraiser bike ride. I also need to bring my bicycle to the shop for a little post-wreck TLC.<br />

This came from a block swap I was involved in a few years ago. It's really great to see another UFO finished. A friend used a similar layout for some of her blocks and I liked the blue quarter square triangles, so I used them for inspiration.<br />

Here's the back side. It's a solid navy blue, which shows off the gold quilting threads so well.<br />
<br />
Some of my friends (Sarah and Libby to name a couple) have gently encouraged me to blog more often, so I'm going to try for once or twice a week. Now that our first high school graduation is behind us, life is slowing down again. I'm looking forward to getting back to the studio to work on my mom's quilt, then a baby quilt, another QOV and a few more.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your freedom today. I'm thankful for those who have served our country and given their lives to defend us. <br />

<br />
I've been working on a quilt that I can't share yet. So I've had to be very quiet for a while.<br />
But this one I can talk about.<br />
It's a Quilt Of Valor. It's a UFO. It's a block swap quilt. <br />
<br />
If you walk around the frame to get a better look. You can see the overall design.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There's mostly Red/White/Blue, but a touch of gold here and there. So I took a bold approach and began quilting it with gold threads. At first, I thought about using a clear thread over these beautiful star blocks, but I think they'll still shine with gold over them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The quilting is very similar to my last QOV motifs. I was quite thrilled with how that one turned out and other designs I doodled with weren't as nice.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The first of 4 rows is complete now. For the 2nd and 3rd row, I get to do 6 feathers! I love quilting feathers. For balance on these large blocks, I'm marking the spine. Frixion pens for lighter fabrics and white chalk for the dark blue fabrics.<br />
<br />
I'm planning on a quilt retreat next week. My goal is to have this one off the frame and ready to bind for the retreat. It's ambitious, but the retreat is hosted by the Alabama QOV coordinator. So I can leave it with her if it's finished before I pack up to come home. While I'm there, I can make a pillow case and label. But if it isn't finished, I'll mail it to her or use her "Mules" to hand deliver it.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day!<br />

My quilting is free motion and whimsical for this one because I don't think these fish take themselves seriously.<br />

The orange border is my favorite part. To keep the design even, I am drawing the scrolling line first with a Frixion pen.<br />
<br />
Here's the whole top on the design wall before quilting. I was trying to decide if it needed another border after the orange. That lime green is now part of the pieced backing and the wild stripe will become the binding.<br />

It's nice to play with a whimsical one, but I've still ripped out the quilting a couple of times. I should have taken more time to draw on paper for each block.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day! I love our Springtime weather here.<br />

I'm using a circle template to make the clams. With the shiny fairy frost fabric, it reminds me of fish scales or maybe even dragon scales.<br />

I generously offered to stay home today so Mr. Seeing Stars could use my vehicle. <br />
It seems his 23 yr old Honda needs a little TLC ... again. Yes, we could have carpooled, but he often gets home well past dark and I leave work much earlier. Plus, this extra time at home will help me to cross my finish line by midnight tonight.<br />

<br />
So I can start on another UFO for March. I do hope it's going to be an easy one. I'm eager to reload my Mom's quilt again and make more progress on that one.<br />
<br />
I hope the ginkos aren't too un-quilted for the rest of this quilt. For now, I'll leave them alone and see how it goes. I could stitch in the ditch around those ginko squares, but time's not on my side right now.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day!<br />

<br />
The quilting is almost to the bottom border. Whew! Except ... there is no quilting yet in the light pink rectangles.<br />
<br />
Here's the back side. The quilting is much easier to see.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Plan A : Use the cherry blossoms as quilting inspiration and make oversized blossoms in the navy fabrics. The green inner borders have a bamboo design. Add ginko leaves to the dark pink (Gees Bend dyed fabrics) small squares. Using a template, add clamshells to the light pink fairy frost fabric.<br />
<br />
It's easier to do all the free motion, then change the hopping foot to a template foot once and execute the clamshells. But I did try a couple of clamshell areas near the top of the quilt, so I've already changed the foot a couple of times. It just doesn't work on this quilt. My template makes too large a design and the tops of the second row end up being cut off by the edge of the patchwork. Not very pretty!<br />
<br />
Plan B : Skip the light pinks until all else is done and make a new plan. Since the focus fabric is an Asian print, I'm looking for another design which will fit that theme. Free motion is much easier for me than templates. And .... since this finish is for a monthly UFO challenge, I'd like to get 'er done soon.<br />
<br />
I'm open to any ideas for this quilting. Before deciding on clamshells, I thought about a tall crane, but his wings wouldn't be spread and I thought it wouldn't look regal enough. I love the look of sashiko and I'm willing to lightly mark a grid to accomplish that look.<br />
<br />
I've got to dash off to work now and then I'll check back here to see if anyone has an idea for this pink. The quilting thread is Isacord Petal Pink. It blends very well with the light pink, so this area will be all about texture, not contrast.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day!<br />
