Lots of feathers which fortunately is my default quilting choice. If I cannot think of anything else I will choose to quilt feathers or ruler work!

About 15 years ago another wife Kathleen Sherfy and myself began to make quilts in red, white and blue celebrating our beautiful USA Flag, the Stars and Stripes. These are presented to a few soldiers each year, I think the first year we had only two or three, and now each year we have 8-10. The names are drawn randomly, but a couple of years ago I looked around at the presentation and saw the quilter's husbands sitting there watching other guys get quilts and thought it was sad they didn't have quilts too. So I told Kathleen I was making one for DH, and last summer in San Antonio I was able to surprise him at the presentation with his very own patriotic quilt. To say he was shocked would be putting it mildly!<p></p><p>It's been a very rough 3 years for him in his fight to recover from cancer, radiation and around a dozen major surgeries including last March a month in the hospital and six surgical procedures. I said when I presented the quilt that I wanted him to know he was still my hero. The ranks of these men are shrinking every year and we are blessed to have DH still with us, he is a tough guy to survive what he has. This year we have been married 52 years.</p><p>This past summer I also made T Shirt quilts for our great niece and nephew who were graduating High School.

I had quilted it in tiny detail, every 3.5” block differently and it was a lot of fun making it up as I went along. 81 blocks no two the same, a labor of love- I would never have the patience or ability to hand sew all those little blocks. Unknown to me Shiela had entered it and I was quite surprised when another friend sent me this pic with the word “congratulations” . The two ribbons were both for Shiela’s beautiful hand piecing/applique and for my quilting.

Of course the price more than doubled from the day before covid hit, but now we are almost finished and hoping the budget will hold out as prices rise weekly on building supplies.

More Princesses, but this time from the movie Frozen which little girls also seem to adore! If you look closely you can see I chose to crosshatch the picture part of the panel. I have found this is a neater option than trying to outline the quilt realistically and to me looks as if you are peering through a window at the people. And, by careful positioning of the quilting lines it’s possible to <i>mostly</i> avoid quilting on the faces. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjMnq6Q2ZGHizeG8MoKzPbNXUwf_ksJxBApmFZJUKHOcvM9SzmssYbqbzAUY5MMJfXzPCSh46tvpE0luUnULs01WHUELnwfqasFogwALYLVi-5PsWo5MFIcfvU6BO_DkBGr8vPgrvfPX8vI0g3ef9Z8c8RCcF4FBo7QpQr91HHb-lo8lYIFeyI51G5=s1880" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1880" data-original-width="1672" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjMnq6Q2ZGHizeG8MoKzPbNXUwf_ksJxBApmFZJUKHOcvM9SzmssYbqbzAUY5MMJfXzPCSh46tvpE0luUnULs01WHUELnwfqasFogwALYLVi-5PsWo5MFIcfvU6BO_DkBGr8vPgrvfPX8vI0g3ef9Z8c8RCcF4FBo7QpQr91HHb-lo8lYIFeyI51G5=w570-h640" width="570" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another panel and how sweet that I had just the right fabrics to coordinate with the panel and also to make the backing.

Not that I haven't thought about it and knowing I was soooo far behind wondering how I would catch up, but life has been harder and my "spare" time less!</p><p>In addition to the global covid debacle and my husband's cancer treatments and entertaining two days a week our now 15 month old delightful granddaughter, there's the fact that I finally succumbed to covid at Christmas time and ended up with double pneumonia! I had easily avoided the infection for two years until we all went to Boston for Christmas and on the fifth day there came down with a variant, something I had not yet been exposed to. It went through the entire family and for everyone else it was like a cold or a bit of a cough but I became very very ill. I do believe that my lungs have finally cleared as I am no longer wheezing and returned to the gym this week with no adverse effects except for some mild soreness in muscles that had not been used for a couple of months!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhK6nw5upqQGTdTnQT08O_9aGO6B245ixir06jCa_cn6gxvMN0Poz2c68XqFiZR7pipoArI7uR-HlK2OXqgpAAsVMYNvmoU1CGRB8APwJ__zBBgcFwtlpPZQgSkVbUFiYNgRKL_xk1KJVkFRDNduv8sGa0QUhGBpdkZB8KDBvQ2jYza_1mE4ETAqesM=s1024" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="749" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhK6nw5upqQGTdTnQT08O_9aGO6B245ixir06jCa_cn6gxvMN0Poz2c68XqFiZR7pipoArI7uR-HlK2OXqgpAAsVMYNvmoU1CGRB8APwJ__zBBgcFwtlpPZQgSkVbUFiYNgRKL_xk1KJVkFRDNduv8sGa0QUhGBpdkZB8KDBvQ2jYza_1mE4ETAqesM=s320" width="234" /></a></div> The gorgeous Emma at one year!<div>Our long awaited addition to the home, my new quilt studio and a workshop for DH is almost finished. 700 square feet total I am so anxious to be able to gather all my sewing/quilting together in one space instead of spread from the garage to dining area to the library.

Hannah does not like tight quilting which I wouldn't consider for a utility quilt especially for a child or a baby. Each of the three has a different quilting design and different threads. Hannah also prefers 100% cotton thread so my default there is something from Superior Threads, usually King Tut or Masterpiece. I also use Connecting Threads Essentials Pro and their 100% cotton, though it seems to be a little more linty.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJHfY9VxFSTdepZeEOGv8UCliB_refFmioo5MFLsZRcOANOXrEmqPnCeazwwtLAZmN6O0gbY1is-adYoVKuw0jVc21Zw0E2p_YQWTy13yVTlAHTTYUWUN3_YurExb5Hgk82NGt7catlsk/s2016/IMG_4736.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJHfY9VxFSTdepZeEOGv8UCliB_refFmioo5MFLsZRcOANOXrEmqPnCeazwwtLAZmN6O0gbY1is-adYoVKuw0jVc21Zw0E2p_YQWTy13yVTlAHTTYUWUN3_YurExb5Hgk82NGt7catlsk/w400-h300/IMG_4736.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> The first quilt has my old favorite Peacock Feathers always appropriate and fast<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo8Px18yjOsAAdHUEQbxYFULe8Jb7OQ-hcgDPK_lN8YRKVmp9527xEPocL9iM5F1IwxGN20wYFvguP7802vwzgV6_SlzPvwggwTI3Tm8hlTG02N76peI6-7r2Bsk_w6LmIX9DMJ3zV6JQ/s2016/IMG_4735.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo8Px18yjOsAAdHUEQbxYFULe8Jb7OQ-hcgDPK_lN8YRKVmp9527xEPocL9iM5F1IwxGN20wYFvguP7802vwzgV6_SlzPvwggwTI3Tm8hlTG02N76peI6-7r2Bsk_w6LmIX9DMJ3zV6JQ/w400-h300/IMG_4735.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> The quilt below I used Line Dancing where you quilt block to block with no stopping.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj73pe_8_BwhO3b0jbXJ0UGzfr8xLEanTTO_x3lXAAiQlNjN2tinT5KIx4fDMPZoFUPp4JPcEGVes2o7RwJOX4Q2CUF51REy56Yeo-xsh5SzWqRkquf5QJl7XDc-cQ1ZwWPP4FziYS36E/s2016/IMG_4734.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj73pe_8_BwhO3b0jbXJ0UGzfr8xLEanTTO_x3lXAAiQlNjN2tinT5KIx4fDMPZoFUPp4JPcEGVes2o7RwJOX4Q2CUF51REy56Yeo-xsh5SzWqRkquf5QJl7XDc-cQ1ZwWPP4FziYS36E/w400-h300/IMG_4734.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> This quilt has separate border designs.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRraKu_CBgk7R0unrXc4L-8d7m2G3lneIav2YW1fz20DS0MejrZ11NN3ORf2pDi8wcMxQQ2EhsRyZFn7lAJu3YaBYJ6cOIR1JD_dr8PNhI7sjzCrVyhpod8gqQ23ayfefU7O256tLPf60/s2016/IMG_4733.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRraKu_CBgk7R0unrXc4L-8d7m2G3lneIav2YW1fz20DS0MejrZ11NN3ORf2pDi8wcMxQQ2EhsRyZFn7lAJu3YaBYJ6cOIR1JD_dr8PNhI7sjzCrVyhpod8gqQ23ayfefU7O256tLPf60/w400-h300/IMG_4733.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> I failed to take a pic of the back of the third, but the large feathering shows up on the front.<p></p><p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizl8iJcppbv8fk80AqlDNaOmezLXVp_Uzg2HiyESdfjVmQ4HWZffQj9XiSOaD_UGcDtxTq4kOsPlfXCt0sIP1XDe7OusiERVmKNbH_y09rAeXROEytuZGgDjBKzZ1BQK12A1aEON6-dc/s2016/IMG_4737.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhizl8iJcppbv8fk80AqlDNaOmezLXVp_Uzg2HiyESdfjVmQ4HWZffQj9XiSOaD_UGcDtxTq4kOsPlfXCt0sIP1XDe7OusiERVmKNbH_y09rAeXROEytuZGgDjBKzZ1BQK12A1aEON6-dc/w400-h300/IMG_4737.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p> I used E-E freehand feathers</p><p>Hannah's quilts are always a joy to quilt, the quilt backs are as neat as the front with all seams well pressed and the quilts flat and square.</p><p>The batting is my default also, Quilter's Dream, I used the 80/20 pink, which sadly, is no longer in production at QD.

We found a new single level home in Phx with a nice pool and hot-tub, only 4 miles south of the old house, and after major renovations moved in the week before Christmas.

He is now in the final days of six weeks/five days/week radiation, so our lives have been severely impacted. He is now cancer free praise God, we hope forever, and soon can look forward to rebuilding what was torn apart!</p><p>Consequently I have only had my longarm up and running about a month and temporarily it's in the area where the dining table should be, as we are planning an addition to provide me with a quilting/sewing room and a workshop for DH. So I am quilting under a fancy chandelier, makes me feel like the queen of quilters, LOL.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhY3q5TyKQDo2nI31r22CKwobFBc3lvQlevjCySZURXN4hdozOiqcsAJ9MHpRpj2tdfKihduwvAsebQMYbz4twXktEASwD5J7oPF88_gIOcq2Z7ZCqdv0fpV9PxuRjXkxl6OXJvFttXhE/s2016/IMG_4729.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhY3q5TyKQDo2nI31r22CKwobFBc3lvQlevjCySZURXN4hdozOiqcsAJ9MHpRpj2tdfKihduwvAsebQMYbz4twXktEASwD5J7oPF88_gIOcq2Z7ZCqdv0fpV9PxuRjXkxl6OXJvFttXhE/w400-h300/IMG_4729.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNri_0CuUwPLu0h_viot9U0rXsGRoag7lVboXKRoGzT7B1Sz1cw5XKxpa_6F3aaspDEK5oWvpFz2GGfdrREuIC8gL1yK8ABGjils-994bvqLxQG4oHppIKQFJWLQrUsZ_G0eKd7HqGGoE/s2016/63436738395__FA843926-4A43-4BD1-9368-19146672133B.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNri_0CuUwPLu0h_viot9U0rXsGRoag7lVboXKRoGzT7B1Sz1cw5XKxpa_6F3aaspDEK5oWvpFz2GGfdrREuIC8gL1yK8ABGjils-994bvqLxQG4oHppIKQFJWLQrUsZ_G0eKd7HqGGoE/w400-h300/63436738395__FA843926-4A43-4BD1-9368-19146672133B.JPG" width="400" /></a></div></div><p></p><span style="text-align: center;">And below is the "before" picture with the dining table in its proper place.

Such a great little dog and so patient through all she has had to suffer in the interim. We had the tooth removed a couple of weeks ago and she is healed, praise the Lord.

I sewed the borders on and loaded the backing then outline SID for the blocks . No batting, all that minkee made it quite heavy enough! I continued the lines from the center out to the borders on each side. The hardest part was the binding, it was quite challenging! There is no need for much quilting in this instance, no batting to worry about and minimal seams either. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDf9u94ocO8JXSScxNY7dIuAqXB4TSGvDmPcMdEtw5bVoDcweEOJ8u8tvDe6piHpph5Lg0II7a2zNrCNQ7-azABgNTzvLkV8kXL7KCgfX5dRKEnFAHMCf4EDd9X1F4_UiFZp6dTO48C3E/s1024/IMG_3807.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDf9u94ocO8JXSScxNY7dIuAqXB4TSGvDmPcMdEtw5bVoDcweEOJ8u8tvDe6piHpph5Lg0II7a2zNrCNQ7-azABgNTzvLkV8kXL7KCgfX5dRKEnFAHMCf4EDd9X1F4_UiFZp6dTO48C3E/w300-h400/IMG_3807.JPG" width="300" /></a></div> But this little fellow seems very happy with his gift, it was his birthday!<br /><p><br /></p>Roslynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15072175456185500751noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690605936481154191.post-35810698961016736382020-12-05T20:57:00.007-08:002020-12-05T20:59:11.106-08:00Four Baby Quilts For Leslie<p> Two each for boys and girls.

I saw a photo of one, I don't remember where, and decided to make one like it. I sewed together all the strips of pinks and purples I could scavenge from stash, backed with fusible and then cut into strips and attached to the top. I did zig zag along the edges first before ironing to the background. I might have been able to get away without the zig zagging I didn't want them to fall apart with wear and washing.<br /><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6Z7z9GwiiCeEdlbbo6bC09JTVcWiR4ObMBg8oS4Gkewc1XOI3J9Mtul_dXZNjKZvZfKR1WVtNNq7iekaR3l1RBqFZD35QtlX3x63rQ_YPBaaphsBoad79p5z2jyPHsL7p_N9TKWdRyU/s2048/IMG_3939.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2004" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6Z7z9GwiiCeEdlbbo6bC09JTVcWiR4ObMBg8oS4Gkewc1XOI3J9Mtul_dXZNjKZvZfKR1WVtNNq7iekaR3l1RBqFZD35QtlX3x63rQ_YPBaaphsBoad79p5z2jyPHsL7p_N9TKWdRyU/w391-h400/IMG_3939.jpg" width="391" /></a></div><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Quilting the lines fairly close togethr but a bit random makes sure it will hold together well.

The label is hard to read, the thread is too close a match darn it! The girls quilts are almost identical except for backing and binding. This is October's quilt [a very unusual name for a little girl I know.]<br />

"The Cow Jumped Over The Moon" is a flannel collection from Connecting Threads, but it's a couple of years ago so there is none left anywhere I looked. Consequently I had to fill in with a striped yellow flannel that did nicely for the back also. A pale yellow thread blended in nicely. All three quilts of course have that lovely <a href="http://www.quiltersdreambatting.com/products/dream-angel/">Quilter's Dream Angel batting</a> that is genetically engineered to be non flammable, absolutely no chemicals and soft as can be.</div>

For an expected baby boy, I think it's adorable. The pattern came from issue #19 of the now extinct Modern Quilts Unlimited magazine. I was very sad to see this magazine die, but I did find a substitute in an online Aussie modern quilting magazine.<br />
The quilting is meant to resemble waves and I placed a fishy looking row at the very top and bottom. I love the clean modern look of the quilt and it's so fast and simple, once the HST's were done it went together <i>really </i>fast.<i> </i> I used batiks for the three blues and the yellow but next time I will make more contrast between the two darker blues. I say "next time" because I am sure I will make this again.<br />
