This is made from one of Moda's Collections for a Cause. It is for my dining room table, but I took this picture outside. (obviously!) The checkerboard border made it a little hard to handle on the next border even though my 'checkers' measure perfectly. Who knows why. I'm not a fabulous quilter just a prolific one! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwEAhGQmdv3swkyzOb8vgcSGNShmMjAySh3noDV37FMLgeQ8Ljpc5W3NF2c5CUIOQpK90c7XyMljBUKO_VMDdLJuqkxCqCiYM4KupfWMwm2oTH_sxMdD0VfL9rO0ggr4paPmMf-k7m1f4/s1600/P1040697.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwEAhGQmdv3swkyzOb8vgcSGNShmMjAySh3noDV37FMLgeQ8Ljpc5W3NF2c5CUIOQpK90c7XyMljBUKO_VMDdLJuqkxCqCiYM4KupfWMwm2oTH_sxMdD0VfL9rO0ggr4paPmMf-k7m1f4/s320/P1040697.JPG" tt="true" /></a></div>Four O'Clock Quilt Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03652499571526090023noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096380309746610195.post-73785994197374076202010-04-19T11:02:00.000-07:002010-04-19T11:02:15.288-07:00A spring quilt picture....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is a pattern I designed from an antique quilt. Those are my favorites. There seems to be such a charm to quilts that are made without a selection of patterns, fabrics, or internet inspiration. The quilts come from a place inside a person. I changed the method of piecing of this one. It combines piecing and applique and if you can tell by the picture, it is hand quilted to create the illusion of flowers where the circles are the flower centers. It is made from 40s prints which is probably authentic. Or maybe the 30s solids would have been more in keeping with the original, but I really like the prints. I made it small for the interest of time and money, but it would be darling on a twin bed in a cheerful girly room. I hope you enjoy this pic! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggD1J9wCdHHvTgH2Y6waENHMcFhP_dww6HH4SP6gPDA8g01uXNrULQH_ZLmmHYjCnlbRxF0CsQ-gduSUN4_OaRn_E8aubxIZ-baL0gC05OObCKSn1Zpm7ypAmhjsY6OEMQsPZQJq24FNg/s1600/P1040687.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggD1J9wCdHHvTgH2Y6waENHMcFhP_dww6HH4SP6gPDA8g01uXNrULQH_ZLmmHYjCnlbRxF0CsQ-gduSUN4_OaRn_E8aubxIZ-baL0gC05OObCKSn1Zpm7ypAmhjsY6OEMQsPZQJq24FNg/s640/P1040687.JPG" width="640" wt="true" /></a></div>Four O'Clock Quilt Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03652499571526090023noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096380309746610195.post-14125534694505392492010-04-16T09:39:00.000-07:002010-04-16T09:39:20.019-07:00Giveaway on this blog!If any of you wear jewelry or still work and wear work clothes, check out this necklace!

I wanted to use cheddar, so I did an off balance log cabin. It's named in honor of the Amish Cheese House near my hometown. Cheddar, log cabin, Cheese House.... get it?? :) I used 3 yards of cheddar in this lap sized baby, so when and if I get around to making up the pattern, I'll suggest a little more. The blocks were made with fat quarters of Civil War prints which I really like, but somehow I never have exactly what I need so I have to keep purchasing more! I bet some of you have that problem! I like how this came out, and it was easy to make and cut. This is one of those patterns where you really HAVE to cut all the pieces first so that you can have a selection in each block. I machine quilted this, and it is just about at the limit of what I can do on a machine.Four O'Clock Quilt Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03652499571526090023noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096380309746610195.post-70859770363687860842010-03-29T10:31:00.000-07:002010-03-29T10:31:53.992-07:00Not done yet!As I suspected and really did know, a month is not long enough to hand quilt my quilt! Even a twin size. In fact I don't know if two months will be enough! Maybe three months will do it! I have to confess I worked hard for a week or so, then I got sidetracked! I think I'll have to find a simpler project for April's club. I still will work on my hand quilting though. It is soothing, but it's hard to watch a movie or anything and really pay attention to the size of the stitch and exactly where it is going! So, tv and movies are out. It's a quiet time activity I think. I've been sidetracked with getting a new wardrobe, and birthday presents, and company, and etc etc. Life basically. How do so many of you accomplish so much? I really want to know! I did get a new camera, which I am not thrilled with, but I will post some more quilt pics soon. Stay tuned!Four O'Clock Quilt Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03652499571526090023noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096380309746610195.post-64665662902739236902010-03-02T10:14:00.000-08:002010-03-02T10:14:13.182-08:00CGGQC March project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPBXFFt0OryfnnSS0GUF9OAWfSNfgULKh7Y42E9fhafwem5lY2tYdyms8ymIZ9a9e9LTDjQEsVD93y3SkKfBZ7J8KqIWeQIYHpGtzAAOGVZtUyeKl2kw0OTnxIZ0Jqp-f3jMf9-AZmqZ0/s1600-h/P1000124.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPBXFFt0OryfnnSS0GUF9OAWfSNfgULKh7Y42E9fhafwem5lY2tYdyms8ymIZ9a9e9LTDjQEsVD93y3SkKfBZ7J8KqIWeQIYHpGtzAAOGVZtUyeKl2kw0OTnxIZ0Jqp-f3jMf9-AZmqZ0/s320/P1000124.JPG" /></a>I guess if I'm on a roll, I might as well run with it! Sore fingers aside, I started hand quilting another quilt. This was all pinned and ready for machine quilting, but I know that I will never get around to that! I'm not very enthused about fighting all that fabric in my machine. But it is a twin size so it shouldn't take that long - ha ha! At least not as long as a queen size! Hand quilting is all I can seem to manage, I haven't been in my sewing room in forever. Now, I really don't know if I can finish this in March, but I can try. My method is to do all the outline quilting and then go back when I figure out a design to use. This quilt has a lot of sashing also. It's my own design, a combo of piecing and applique. It's Moda Kashmir IV fabric. I had entertained thoughts of making my own patterns, a dream that may never be realized, but this was one of them. I called it Daisy Whirls. I think GD1's bedroom is the right color scheme for this quilt....:)</div>Four O'Clock Quilt Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03652499571526090023noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096380309746610195.post-64730467286049739112010-02-23T14:30:00.000-08:002010-02-23T14:30:35.209-08:00Feb. project DONE!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNjaaBTdZ_AfiDpNO1eix94bqowgsEarAwr5gGAkE4_8jHfQjKIYfPqqvLcQrgmfIizWwQ-FLFaw5eC5c7U75X0nPbDvDYuazwNLwSAEtSVj3XswzZ8qXg3Gqrz79bkhpfG-1efaw_zOM/s1600-h/P1000116.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNjaaBTdZ_AfiDpNO1eix94bqowgsEarAwr5gGAkE4_8jHfQjKIYfPqqvLcQrgmfIizWwQ-FLFaw5eC5c7U75X0nPbDvDYuazwNLwSAEtSVj3XswzZ8qXg3Gqrz79bkhpfG-1efaw_zOM/s320/P1000116.JPG" /></a>My project for the Charming Quilt Club was to finish handquilting this top!

But along with one of my 'resolutions' (you know, more hand quilting finishes and 3 red and white quilts for the twin beds) I have been trying to hand quilt when the GD toddlers are sleeping and my emotions are calm. I was pleased with the template for quilting that I found. The batting is maybe too puffy, but can't be helped now. I think I'll like it when it is done. However, since it is an antique reproduction I think it is only a double bed size. Oh well, I can fold it at the bottom and pull it up on cold nights. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj16wREkyyLlgV2NhRGUoTSxLACR97CtkKvgaSrrdDN8zD372EPGq8heUPOHn7xkLzXVrVlpAGBGr2k77Kid1vhG7kxPOQHsk8-uA28Y3bqrGOriM0gzLqF_2QtSP-IfiKDyq3y4i0V3xc/s1600-h/P1000024.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" mt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj16wREkyyLlgV2NhRGUoTSxLACR97CtkKvgaSrrdDN8zD372EPGq8heUPOHn7xkLzXVrVlpAGBGr2k77Kid1vhG7kxPOQHsk8-uA28Y3bqrGOriM0gzLqF_2QtSP-IfiKDyq3y4i0V3xc/s320/P1000024.JPG" width="320" /></a>I had a hard time finding a marking pencil in the house. Can you believe that? I didn't want to use a washable or a water washout one one because I have a yellow quilt that the markings left dots here and there on and never washed out. So, I wanted a plain number 2 pencil so it would wash out. Finally, I found one. I'm not a precise quilter. I eyeball a lot, because this is stress relief, not stress inducing as it would be if I was striving for perfection. Type A I am not! Just a plain old Type B here! You will never see my stuff put up for judging! <br />

It's all solids, the curves are handpieced and the straight seams are machine pieced. The graphic beauty of it appealed to me. I never did anything to it after I brought it home, so it has not been washed or ironed. The size is 69 by 88 1/2.<br />

How? I'm not sure. I could use all the prayers you send my way. I don't want this. The grass is never greener on the other side. <br />
Kelly, you don't know it, but your last two insprirational posts have helped! My daughter came to be a support system and helped me change the look of my blog. Life goes on. I might get one of my finishes done this month! I hope! I can't dwell, so I'll be back with more quilting pictures and projects soon. I hope to open my Etsy store and sell off crafting things, wedding supplies, quilt tops and more. I'll keep you posted. Hopefully this weekend I'll get things moving on that. Right now, grief and potty training GD #2 is the order of the day.Four O'Clock Quilt Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03652499571526090023noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096380309746610195.post-55033467701372164682010-01-04T09:07:00.000-08:002010-01-04T09:07:32.670-08:00Two more wins!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love Kelly at Cotton Charm! She was the best Santa this year! It was a year in which we all only bought the kids presents and the adults got next to nothing. So I was so thrilled to win a bundle of Moda Glace! Thrilled! I love it so much!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And then I won a kit for this cute cat pattern through Alderwood Quilts (Alderwoodquilts.com) via SewCal Gal. She was one of the sponsors.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjomRNrwRfE5EVEmO6h80ZStlTbp0mX0gkxNbY-1qDgQxJg5BP_z1au8benA51nS6Biwm6fF9lg2_FKweeVDlSBO4Gw66mAyO065rUlxBoqq0lsRKHsPeWo9iEJMYUrrjCZTLSMuD9kjuY/s1600-h/2009+from+Jonelles+camera+loaded+on+January+2,+2010+1138.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjomRNrwRfE5EVEmO6h80ZStlTbp0mX0gkxNbY-1qDgQxJg5BP_z1au8benA51nS6Biwm6fF9lg2_FKweeVDlSBO4Gw66mAyO065rUlxBoqq0lsRKHsPeWo9iEJMYUrrjCZTLSMuD9kjuY/s320/2009+from+Jonelles+camera+loaded+on+January+2,+2010+1138.JPG" /></a>Isn't it darling? Thank you! I have to admit I was a little bummed this season. I didn't decorate full out , I didn't cook my usual over the top meal, but these two things really helped my spirits. I love Christmas and I love playing Santa and buying gifts for everyone, so it was really different to have blog friends sending me things. I love it! and a huge thank you to both of them!<br />

HA! That's a joke isn't it? But, I am also going to be on the road for a couple weekends in January. Two nice quilt shows I'm really hoping to attend. So I'm going upstairs to do a lot of prep, and I'm going to catch up on my Vicksburg blocks. I'm three behind and they are the applique ones. I can do them watching the munchkins or in the car if I get them ready to go.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFO45KYbTCUcKkXQpEMk9FDafuuXrLqzkwBr9tkQS87KyhIBFhl1nc081mMj05ih1IA-hOnoGsSP0dBxogpz0yh9DKON4Z3_PIIpt4qIGBCrbw0LoMSpGYgMLmPGle4vEzLfFc_4Cr_zY/s1600-h/100_4495.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFO45KYbTCUcKkXQpEMk9FDafuuXrLqzkwBr9tkQS87KyhIBFhl1nc081mMj05ih1IA-hOnoGsSP0dBxogpz0yh9DKON4Z3_PIIpt4qIGBCrbw0LoMSpGYgMLmPGle4vEzLfFc_4Cr_zY/s320/100_4495.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHjEqJN1n6t0YR4Jp2bOr_4yQGK8LIwwqDmd3rQJ4bQTwWhy9RG05NfgvcGJn2IzUKyNTBJTiNbKY6itxP6W7rcl3YopFtb16lbsk5G3bjoRI___pkVyRbd7R5lgkT88hcnjv90QkQd8M/s1600-h/100_4492.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHjEqJN1n6t0YR4Jp2bOr_4yQGK8LIwwqDmd3rQJ4bQTwWhy9RG05NfgvcGJn2IzUKyNTBJTiNbKY6itxP6W7rcl3YopFtb16lbsk5G3bjoRI___pkVyRbd7R5lgkT88hcnjv90QkQd8M/s320/100_4492.JPG" /></a>And my poor Bunny Hill BOM. I love it and I must finish it! What if she starts a new one? I have to get this one done. So I'm going to prep those blocks for travel too. I have a lot started and none of them completed! All totaled that's about 15 or more blocks that neeed started and /or finished. Wish me luck!<br />

How did we get ten years into the millenium? Usually, and last night is no exception, I can't stay up until midnight. Party pooper, I know. Oh well, when I went to bed, it was the New Year on the east coast! Today it is time to start dismantling the Christmas decorations, but I probably won't because GD 2 and 3 spent the night and that task would be better when toddler fingers aren't trying to help. It had been a long time since little girls came and jumped in bed with us wanting breakfast.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I have made a huge goals for myself for 2010. One, I want to make 3 red and white twin sized bed quilts for the beds in my loft. Simple, graphic quilts. I'm still on my red and white kick! Two, continue to finish more UFOs! Perhaps all of them? That is a huge goal. Three, I want to design more, and use my EQ6 more. I am finding I spend too much unproductive time on the computer. I read so many blogs that I really need to cut back. I have found a lot of home decor blogs that have helped take the place of my beloved Country Home magazine. I was a subscriber from the 2nd issue 30 plus years ago. I miss it! But it is all so time consuming, and I really want to sew.<br />
I have found some great things on blogs. On Christmas morning I used the Cinn-bon icing recipe on my own cinnamon rolls. Yum Yum! Fresh cinnamon rolls are a Christmas morning tradition. I find out about sales at places like the Cotton Charm quilt store, and BOMs. I am very behind on Bunny Hills (which is now over), and slightly behind on the Vicksburg one. Since I was let go from my job, last January, it has been a great year. I am happy to be home all the time and I sew a lot more than I did when I had a long commute and a 40 hour a week job. 2010 will bring more of the same I'm sure. Lots more recipes, quilts, inspiration, sales, fabric, dreams, UFOs, and finished quilts. I don't sew anything but quilts, so forgive me if I'm not in swaps or exchanges. I love reading all the blogs, and I hope that the New Year brings you quilts and happiness. May it bring you all the joy of a three year old in a Snow White costume. I know mine will!<br />

These are GD2 and 3 and they did not want to sit on Santa's lap! The two year old however was very chatty from three feet away. Hi HO HO! (that's what she calls him) I want a ball, and a doll and a choo choo train! See my pretty dress, and look I got painted nails just for Christmas! and on and on. Then the drama of getting near him. Afterward, she wanted to go back and show him the picture of her with him. But no sitting on the lap or anywhere near him. She just wanted to talk!<br />

<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I'm sure that you remember me. It's been awhile since I've written since I have actually been working as one of your elves for the last 38 years. Children love their presents and I really love to make them and give them. But just to spur your memory, I'm the short one, slightly rotund, and I seem to have gotten gray hair over the years. How come I'm the only elf that ages? But, never mind with that. I do have a wish for me this year, and I heard through the elf grapevine that the Fat Quarter Shop might help you this year! That's exciting! Here it is Santa, isn't it pretty? A beautiful bundle of fabric. I'm sure I can do something with this. I know, I know, it's not red, which besides being your favorite color is one of mine too, but I'm a closet pastel person. Please, please remember me this year! Petite Maison will be just perfect. Thank you ahead of time, I have faith in you. Love from, your short, rotund, gray haired elf.<br />

All you need is some old white buttons, and a little bit of muslin and a length of white satin ribbon. I cut out the hearts, and machine sewed around them leaving room to turn the ornament. You can sew the ribbon on at this point, or sew it on later. Stuff lightly and then position and sew the buttons around the outside edge keeping the heart shape. I have buttons on both sides so that it is reversible and shows well no matter how it hangs. Old buttons are rarely white, but off white, so I used an aged muslin. To get a good heart shape, simply fold your pattern paper in half and cut so that both sides are identical. Your shape could be funky or classical. I also added a bow to one side. My first intent was to cover the heart in buttons, but that made the ornament too heavy, so I only put them around the edges. It could be done in reds and greens, too. I have this one on my white and silver tree but I'm thinking that I need another one for my tree with handmade ornaments. I'd better get busy on that!<br />

I only have the side triangles to go, but it won't happen, it's a lot more work.<br />
</div> There is 16 of the side triangles because it is queen size. I couldn't wait to put it together though, so I left a little bit of the end seams open to put the triangles in later. I don't know how I'm going to quilt it, and I am open for ideas. I'm thinking the background in a straight line grid, but I don't know about the red areas. Send me your thoughts if you have quilted applique quilts! I think I'll go around the applique inside and out but not through the layers. Or should I go through the layers like Hawaiian quilts? If you've made a Baltimore Album quilt let me know.

This is a valley fixture in Kraynaks. It probably has 50 plus trees (I wish I had asked) and starts with the children's trees, in various themes with animatronic characters. Here's a small overview... <img border="0" er="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjik7bqYQG4hI82CkfhgjGmnbzZm1ty_KvNHzqBcWEngUDpmEQNI-hKBWWsr7ieG2baJB64GdLRUWF0uV-EUTg_5nKuPvHynFDY0E06G8NtyQdpKz3qZ0K_MIMuvKcK9bWCFzFDRCIaXfI/s320/100_4024.JPG" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLVwgTu71SCgXF0yx2L5-bWXpfeeJVj-sbQF8pC-8VrFBwGVBxwaBixCQuJBlp3-6v0GVbdie22W6XkGaVq1Bymo30x8z0aJwxWW0mHRs_62YDO-kX5QaslS2nCvybfYSxPvcBFBwWJro/s1600-h/100_4001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLVwgTu71SCgXF0yx2L5-bWXpfeeJVj-sbQF8pC-8VrFBwGVBxwaBixCQuJBlp3-6v0GVbdie22W6XkGaVq1Bymo30x8z0aJwxWW0mHRs_62YDO-kX5QaslS2nCvybfYSxPvcBFBwWJro/s320/100_4001.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx8w7BuI4gd-17ggybRGeZeCVRqNA-L15zzEEURKS1Y_XrOO25Bd-PNpip9Lss1Qaj1r4HdozRCy1fuJfFDrxLzB6zLXA10Z6v9RPwRdVbIBThzQd7ehvZjht-UeSBp6j2uhsA_vg1e0o/s1600-h/100_4002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx8w7BuI4gd-17ggybRGeZeCVRqNA-L15zzEEURKS1Y_XrOO25Bd-PNpip9Lss1Qaj1r4HdozRCy1fuJfFDrxLzB6zLXA10Z6v9RPwRdVbIBThzQd7ehvZjht-UeSBp6j2uhsA_vg1e0o/s320/100_4002.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBAeIixsKn6Qh3_I5Dys3PSm6nyhNT8cXKxGue45NlGjSjos8lPUqEPH0ulbNjmLH5gm4OA5qlexTpb09_CvaWLud2Mu50MXcjHW2CUPrn3upLwoHb3HaKB5uiKQwYCXTJgPxwquDXO90/s1600-h/100_4010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBAeIixsKn6Qh3_I5Dys3PSm6nyhNT8cXKxGue45NlGjSjos8lPUqEPH0ulbNjmLH5gm4OA5qlexTpb09_CvaWLud2Mu50MXcjHW2CUPrn3upLwoHb3HaKB5uiKQwYCXTJgPxwquDXO90/s320/100_4010.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNpmjLfGpAGb1penjb-i3_8ytvF9Mzh2Vzjp-ObKZbZUfMpZ5HuFUEj-Lw1WF6gSCurr3I37vOZT-yNFqUdRjbwklATpQF2hrDa4ePc8mf42XBseiWDw6wgqzz_0qYlyln3T3ttbiXx1g/s1600-h/100_4014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNpmjLfGpAGb1penjb-i3_8ytvF9Mzh2Vzjp-ObKZbZUfMpZ5HuFUEj-Lw1WF6gSCurr3I37vOZT-yNFqUdRjbwklATpQF2hrDa4ePc8mf42XBseiWDw6wgqzz_0qYlyln3T3ttbiXx1g/s320/100_4014.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgue9ldB6wQfqDBC19IKMdEMNZl4dF211SaB3qUK0NnxItkzGVEGuvDpN8CHVqIzl2TQeC_5qVNgM2jFuwI4JF2-vC3RkvxGGFwf1tpYosYU_k7i5c9bHOrM8ZH36pLFZbVO3Omi2ilx2s/s1600-h/100_4017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgue9ldB6wQfqDBC19IKMdEMNZl4dF211SaB3qUK0NnxItkzGVEGuvDpN8CHVqIzl2TQeC_5qVNgM2jFuwI4JF2-vC3RkvxGGFwf1tpYosYU_k7i5c9bHOrM8ZH36pLFZbVO3Omi2ilx2s/s320/100_4017.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7oCzft2P6g9bnZhvEGodDFuvxvoxW77xJ10a3MLShVSphgcDNh6f7olqrnHdW2ZIAFeaOyyD9r10V45L25QMX3wklIPRaPfbnKAZdkhPsch7LrziA5lPntJBciFbKSoM0yts5TT5PzbQ/s1600-h/100_4016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7oCzft2P6g9bnZhvEGodDFuvxvoxW77xJ10a3MLShVSphgcDNh6f7olqrnHdW2ZIAFeaOyyD9r10V45L25QMX3wklIPRaPfbnKAZdkhPsch7LrziA5lPntJBciFbKSoM0yts5TT5PzbQ/s320/100_4016.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoInDYwEUCnfGr61Sapy1H6XZWW2Y6c7w8CFCDvQ1bpmykM2JFUDAESBHr6Dd-6Snp5HyTs8fnyDsZho4IDSoPar0mm_BVMqlBnqcYGziZshkff8gSWLse8guc7dzVhxEBji2XAkAz_FE/s1600-h/100_4034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoInDYwEUCnfGr61Sapy1H6XZWW2Y6c7w8CFCDvQ1bpmykM2JFUDAESBHr6Dd-6Snp5HyTs8fnyDsZho4IDSoPar0mm_BVMqlBnqcYGziZshkff8gSWLse8guc7dzVhxEBji2XAkAz_FE/s320/100_4034.JPG" /></a>after all the kids trees, it phases into more religious and traditional trees.

</div>My finishes for the month... well.... hopefully my finishes for the month. <br />
<br />
Yesterday I got upstairs for almost the whole day. I played around with my 60 degree ruler and made twelve different hexagons and put them into a table runner. I think I'll just cut the sides even to make binding a cinch. I cut strips in 2-3 inches to make the triangles. I have my favorite of them all, so I think I'll make something else out of it. A full size red and white hexagon quilt. Now there would be a project!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My other finish is this thing that has been hanging around forever. It was made from two charm packs and just needs the prairie points. I'm tired of looking at it! It has to be done this month!<br />
<br />

</div>I'm on a red and white theme this month! <br />
<br />
While I'm here I'll show you a quick pic of my loft sewing room. The two year old and I put up the loft tree. She is still quite disturbed that it isn't green.. nope, it's white with all red and white ornaments. So far it only has the three ornaments that I bought this year, because they weren't in the 'Christmas closet'. I haven't got things organized up there to show you any more yet. It's a messy workroom!<br />

</div>Thanksgiving came and went. We only had four people, the smallest amount we have ever had. I had a bad cold courtesy of granddaughter number 2. My poor cat was found upstairs in my loft and had to be buried before dinner. He had been sick, and I guess he wanted to be remembered in a big way. He always was right between my sewing machine chair and the ironing board, so I would have to step over him constantly, and that's where he was that morning. <br />

</div>Moving on to Christmas! This is an old quilt which was a one yard challenge. I had one yard of the red, and one of the green, lots of muslin, and little snips of a red print. I love red and white quilts and I have a couple more to show you this month. <br />
<br />
And...... I finished my one and only present I am making. Tiffany, if you read this, don't tell your sister! It's for granddaughter number 3 because no one (me included) made her a baby quilt. This will be just in time for her to use in her crib this winter and a good size for a toddler bed. I finished it yesterday and today I will wash it and soften it up. I enlarged a font on the computer, printed it out, reversed it onto fusible web and then machine stitched it in place. What do you think? <br />
