My finished Princess & Pea Quilt. I absolutely love it and love that it will be going to one of the best homes ever. I know Angela and Andy will treasure it for a lifetime. <br />

Over the weekend I was able to finish up a little play mat for our newest cousin Lyra. She just a month old this week and I can't wait to meet her. I know her three sisters are absolutely in love with her. I am hoping this little mat will provide her a little play space of her own now and down the road.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15932796240153430648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638109455452655217.post-82849158906103972342011-03-12T13:12:00.000-08:002011-03-12T13:12:56.407-08:00Princess & Pea Quilt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-D1Jt6Sr-FIA/TXvfHXKH1_I/AAAAAAAAAdA/tgjyCLYBRec/s1600/Spring+2011+038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" q6="true" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-D1Jt6Sr-FIA/TXvfHXKH1_I/AAAAAAAAAdA/tgjyCLYBRec/s200/Spring+2011+038.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>Well, well , well...I've known for about 4 or 5 months now that I was going to at some point get an invitation to our closest friend's baby shower and I've known for about 4 or 5 months that I was going to make this quilt for her but what have done those 4 or 5 months. PROCRASTINATED. My middle name when it comes to everything in my personal life. Work is a bit of different story...So the invite comes, I have a million things going on at work and I agreed to making a costume for colleague's daughter's play, so as soon as I saw the invite and the date I panicked. How? When? Can I get done in less than 4 weeks with everything going on right now? And what about the costume and other quilt for my new cousin. Oh my....<br />
<br />
I know it will happen and if not at least I will have a photo to say I've started and promise to finish by June when the baby is born. I'm really not sure what the overall plan is pattern wise. It will surely come to me as I go and I have million different versions floating through my head. In effort to at least attempt to accomplish it all in 4 weeks. So here is the first panel for the quilt. My fussy cutting large scale applique of the princess and the pea image from Heather Ross's Far Far Away fabric. <br />
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-z4DfW8ZSq4c/TXvfBvT88jI/AAAAAAAAAc8/BRQcANgCgT8/s1600/Spring+2011+043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" q6="true" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-z4DfW8ZSq4c/TXvfBvT88jI/AAAAAAAAAc8/BRQcANgCgT8/s320/Spring+2011+043.JPG" width="240" /></a><br />
Now I can in good conscience I can get started on the costume I 'm to make and come back to this in a week or two. There is a lot of hand sewing and alot of pieces to still be cut and sewn before this quilt is done. But with a looming deadline I'll at least be motivated and not procrastinate......I hope.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15932796240153430648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638109455452655217.post-90508053745020983312011-02-22T16:46:00.000-08:002011-02-22T16:46:29.857-08:00Return Date Unknown...Yes, it has been awhile and Yes, it will be a lot longer. In the middle of a massive work project right now and not time to craft. I am working on new baby quilt. Photos to come once I finish. if that day will ever come. Sorry for the long delay. Hopefully, by summer things will return to normal and I'll have time to re-enter my craft room. <br />

Her outfits and post inspired me to upcycle a few of the items in my to be repaired stash into a new bag for myself. It's a little kitchey and little retro and probably a little to young looking for this 30 year old but I was pretty proud of my make shift bag. The items used were 1-old wool scarf and 2- old plaid shirts. The pattern was self made design it as you go pattern. So no really pattern at all. Here's a photo of the end result. And BTW my friend Bernadette is an excellent photographer if you're near the Philly area definitely give her call.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g3GZpqXDCmY/TMzPzegCyRI/AAAAAAAAAcs/aDSeuKFijV8/s1600/fall+2010+035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g3GZpqXDCmY/TMzPzegCyRI/AAAAAAAAAcs/aDSeuKFijV8/s320/fall+2010+035.JPG" width="245" /></a></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15932796240153430648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638109455452655217.post-7061593905920201372010-10-17T16:13:00.000-07:002010-10-17T16:28:13.757-07:00Lone Star Quilt Finished.Another accomplishment this weekend... This one motivated by my church's, <a href="http://www.mlutheran.com/index.html">Messiah Lutheran</a>, upcoming fund raiser for Lunches for Learning. Each year our church holds an annual Handmade Market where crafts made by members of the church and community are donated for sale. The proceeds from the Handmade Market will be used to support <a href="http://www.mlutheran.com/lunches_for_learning.html">Lunches for Learning</a> which provides daily lunches for elementary school children in the rural areas of Honduras. <br />
<br />
For the fundraiser I am donating not only the wooden pendants I made this weekend but my Lone Star Quilt I finished today. I hope it brings forth a good donation for the cause.<br />

This year we plan on make Christmas bauble candle holders, stamped coasters, decorative jar ornaments and a version of scrabble tile pendants inspired by <a href="http://beckyanndesigns.blogspot.com/">Becky Ann Designs</a>. So to get in the mood I test drove one of the crafts today. Using blank wood squares, scrapbook paper and plenty of mod podge I manged to create the following...... For a full tutorial on how to make your own visit <a href="http://www.makeandtakes.com/links/scrabble-tile-pendant-tutorial">Make & Takes</a>. Only wish I could have found some diamond glaze to give it that glass top look.<br />

I started this quilt weeks ago and it has just kinda sat around as most of my projects go. This was made using the diamond die from my Accuquilt and three sets of fat quarters. No Y seams each diamond was pieced individually. I've really enjoyed putting this one together so now I am looking for the perfect fabric set to do a bright and modern version.

Back to school time. And for some odd reason this year my sons' school isn't allowing backpacks. So it's up to mommy to create some tote bags for the boys so they won't be forced to use our target or publix grocery totes. I worked on Bayard's today. He insisted on fire trucks but not having any fire truck fabric and not wanting to spend an money I convinced him to accept fire truck dogs as the main fabric. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g3GZpqXDCmY/TEOnrKMKpsI/AAAAAAAAAbc/fwUAlYlKIzc/s1600/tote+bags+011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" hw="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g3GZpqXDCmY/TEOnrKMKpsI/AAAAAAAAAbc/fwUAlYlKIzc/s320/tote+bags+011.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />

My husband says it turned out way too girlie. And well maybe it did but Bayard loved it. It was also a good way to pratice my free motion quilting. Now on make Holden's his will be the states.<br />

Although all are classes geared towards the beginner I figured I could still learn a trick or two. Plus it is just a good excuse to sew without little interruptions. This week was the beginning of my quilting class. We are making <a href="http://www.blankquilting.com/QuiltSearch.aspx?keyword=tribeca&PageName=FabricGallery.aspx">Color Blox Stars</a> quilt from Blank Quilting. I've chosen a somewhat softer color palette for my quilt but after seeing a few of the girl's brightly colored versions in class I have to admit I was envious. Anyway, here is a glimpse at first two blocks we made tonight. <br />

I know what you might be thinking it is a large contrast from the front and does but doesn't go with the front. But since she's going for a black and white theme in her dorm room. I felt the need to accommodate. So the quilt will be reversible for those days she's needs to coordinate and those days where she needs a little color in her life. I felt I've unified it by keeping with a modern theme in the fabrics. I must say though the back is my favorite. I had bought the backing fabric for curtains in my sewing room and after two years of hanging onto it I let it go. My heart is broken but I know it is going to good home and just maybe she'll love the fabric as much as I do. And yes, I am crying....</div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15932796240153430648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638109455452655217.post-61224111901950145602010-05-28T20:14:00.000-07:002010-05-28T20:14:04.643-07:00Ready Set AssembleHere's a snap of what is to come. <div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g3GZpqXDCmY/TACGHjAJT6I/AAAAAAAAAak/bwkRf7iCQgA/s1600/couches+and+chairs+quilt+011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g3GZpqXDCmY/TACGHjAJT6I/AAAAAAAAAak/bwkRf7iCQgA/s200/couches+and+chairs+quilt+011.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

You'll have to ignore the color schemes and just use a little imagination. Excel only has so many colors and I just don't have the time to pull in new colors. Yeah, I don't own any fancy quilt making software here. Excel works just fine for me for now. Also allows me to do the occasional quilt mapping on my lunch break.<br />

You cut them up into 5" x 5" squares, 5" x 10" and 5" x 15" rectangles. Use a 1/4" seams and I've drawn out the final dimensions in the photo.

Inspiration has finally struck at 1:30 am in the morning. I am excited. I had these fabrics for over year and a half and have been waiting for the perfect moment and idea for using them. A new quit is on the way and just in time for my cousin's graduation. Hopefully, she'll find it a nice fresh modern quilt for her dorm. Details to come. I have a two week deadline so off I go.<br />
Here's preview of one of fabrics in the collections I am using.

Had blast April & Mike and thanks Alyssa for such great photos.</div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15932796240153430648noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638109455452655217.post-3009910522074367572010-04-18T08:37:00.000-07:002010-04-18T08:37:02.456-07:00Wedding Can Go On.Finally sucess. After weeks of back on forth with mother of the flower girl we finally settled on design of sorts and I started to work. For those of you new to my random crafts I have been the responsible party for sewing to the flower girl dress for my sister's wedding, To make it all just a wee bit more challenging for this average sewer I had to take one anthropologie dress <em><span style="font-size: x-small;">(bridesmaid dress)</span></em> and make it into one fabulously perfect and sweet little flower girl dress all for the love my sister.:). <em>BTW, I was supposed to make the ring barrier pillows as well but thanks to Etsy I foudn a much better crafter to do it for me.</em> <br />
<br />
Well I finally stoped procrastinating, only at the point when I realized the store was no longer carrying this dress and decided it was now or never. I must chop and sew. I am pretty pleased with the end result and I am hoping it just looks adorable on the little girl and her mother is pleased.. So below you will see the dress I started with, and two flower girl photos one with the sash and one without. We are all wearing sashes but I thought I might make something I little more funky to dress up the flower girl dress instead of the sash but those juices are still a brewing. I'll post photos of the big day once it has come and gone in three weeks. <br />

But I finally got a chance to work on a new project and try out my newest gadget. The "Big Shot". I bought this little thing at the Sewing Expo in Feb and yes I just now pulled it out of the box.I love it. Perfect for quick and easy sewing and scrap booking projects. So check out my latest one. It may be awhile but I post again. I plan on whipping up a few Happy Birthday banners to sell at craft show. I'll display them when I am done. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g3GZpqXDCmY/S8Eu6HRVnhI/AAAAAAAAAX0/5tPYnS9-zLQ/s1600/Go+Cocks+Pennant+Banner+008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g3GZpqXDCmY/S8Eu6HRVnhI/AAAAAAAAAX0/5tPYnS9-zLQ/s320/Go+Cocks+Pennant+Banner+008.jpg" wt="true" /></a></div><div align="left" class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
