In
the pictures below you can see the "Spring" wording that I printed
paper template letters, cut them out, heat fused the green fabric,
traced the letters, then finally cut them out. I then ironed them onto
the white background, stitched down with sewing machine, and then
around them with the Pearl Cotton #10 in green.<br />
<br />
This is a nice size little quilt that could also be used for a baby
play mat area on the floor or out on the grass, or as their nite nite
blanket. It started out as 42 x 42 but finally shrunk down to 40 x 40
inches after washed.<br />
<br />
I would be glad to make somebody this little quilt but put a
personalized name in the middle for them, or any where else on the
quilt. This same style could also be made in a rectangle shape. Very
versatile quilt top.<br />

Hand Stitching. Not
much fun unless you are just sitting on the couch in the evening watching one
of your favorite TV shows. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am a bit ADHD before they had the term for it so sitting
and just watching TV gets really boring.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is the “Spring” mini quilt I have been working on for
my large footstool. It is almost done
except for the stitching of the flowers in each corner down. I think hand stitching was the way to go because
I can be more precise about where I want the stitches to go. This is the last part I need to do before
this one is finished and ready for the wash and shrinkage.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I just use regular Crayola washable markers to mark the
quilts on where I want and how I want the stitching to look. Of course I forgot to take a picture of the
flowers before the stitches but you can see with the markings and the stitching
how it looks.<o:p></o:p></div>

Found out yesterday that I need to get an Angiogram for my
foot that was injured a year ago and still has not completely healed. Apparently there is a blockage near the
injury site. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sooo… I can’t sit in my
sewing chair too long or stand for very long at all because it hurts too
much. I have been spending a lot of time
on my couch for the last year. I will be
so glad when this is finally fixed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I knew I needed to get another red, black, and white baby
quilt for sale again. I had the base top
ready but heat fused the “curved teardrops” down and have been “big stitching”
around them today using variegated pearl cotton #10.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the past I have done the “big stitching” through all
three layers of the quilt. Today I
wanted to try it with just the quilt top and see how that goes. WOW can I just say it is a whole lot easier
to hand sew through one layer than it is three.<o:p></o:p></div>

Have a great weekend everybody.<o:p></o:p></div>

Here is an Easter Egg wall hanging I have been working on for sale. The Easter Eggs and "Happy Easter" wording was already hand cut and heat fused down. Today all I did was sew down the 3 eggs in similar colored Rayon (shiny) embroidery thread. Hopefully tomorrow I will get the letters sewn down and a some kind of quilting done, I am thinking of swirly with flowers in between the swirls.<br />
<br />

The first is a footstool quilt, at least that is what I call it. I have one of those huge not so nice looking tan microfiber 3 ft x 3 ft footstools that sits in the center of the even larger U shaped couch, so I like to make little quilts to change up the look every now and then. Have had a winter mini quilt on there since before Christmas and it is about time for a change I think.<br />
<br />
The pictures did not come out as good as I thought they would, terrible lighting in my sewing room but here they are.<br />
<br />
You can see I have some small circles in a light green Rayon thread for the quilting, but only on the white. I want the wording and the "Curved Teardrop Flowers" to stand up a little above the white section of the quilt.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ8l-NWA6OUHroAU6291AyP7Zqc4TGz8U7NJc8PEY2HZNb6-z41hAl2QJYpDYq7nfS9Z3YNljB3yq5e2BjOAtETXMmtR11EYJMn5rJYWRtZn2AddL4EugS22WNl89k0pox7oISXHlhHmQ/s1600/teardropflower1a.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ8l-NWA6OUHroAU6291AyP7Zqc4TGz8U7NJc8PEY2HZNb6-z41hAl2QJYpDYq7nfS9Z3YNljB3yq5e2BjOAtETXMmtR11EYJMn5rJYWRtZn2AddL4EugS22WNl89k0pox7oISXHlhHmQ/s320/teardropflower1a.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwORerMVSUR3NCFjFvPQpW80DFkynCCBSJsoJBr-RwvLyLawc0kMM-bLMJC0Z8zWIxLX0JEVXCXLq6c7ug6pnxP8Hp0K52IyYTtofijArTQDL19ERQp0-HhZhzN2DKNOpVeXzLWJ7kRuY/s1600/teardropflower1.jpg" imageanchor="1"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here you can see a few of the "Curved Teardrop Flowers" together. I used a medium green pearl cotton #10. Not sure where I purchased it put they can be purchased at any craft store and most Walmart's. I like to call the stitches "Big Stitching", I like the way it make certain elements stand out, kinda like look at me.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I did a raw edge applique on the mini quilt. I used Heat n' Bond. In the past I have used Pellon 810, I think it is was called, that brand of double sided fusing would not even hold on long enough for me to sew down all my applique's. I do like the fact that once it is washed you can not even tell that there is any fusing at all. I want to see what Heat n' Bond does after it is washed, will it be noticeable and still or like it is not even there.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The raw edge applique is nice because I like the way the edges of the fabric frays a little to give a little more uniqueness. </div>

What I basically finished on the mini quilt today was the green circle quilting, tomorrow I will get the binding on, but I still have little mini flowers in the corners that I need to stitch down, trying to decide if I want to try and sew them down (messy so small) or hand sew them down. Hand sew will probably win out.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will post again when more is done on this Spring Mini Quilt. I am also going to use it as a template that somebody can request to have their child's name appliqued in the center if they want. Or just want the flowers all over.</div>

Ta Ta for now.</div>

This is try number 2 for me on a king size quilt. The first top I made (which we are using) shrank so much that it is the perfect size for a Queen size bed now.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first King size quilt was so intense it wore me out. It was a curvy log cabin, with all the strips being 1.5 or 1 inch. I am not sure I will ever go there again. So I will be making this one with a lot bigger pieces of fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well this one I think will be one that I can back to here and there when I don't have anything else going on probably. </div>

Yes this is another blog, one in a sea of blogs and one in a sea of quilting blogs. I am setting this one up so I am able to get feedback on the quilts I have made. It is all nice and dandy to make a quilt, set it up for sale, have 80+ views, and 6 people following but nobody to buy it. Why did nobody buy it, why did I get so many views on this one and not on another?<br />
<br />
I also don't follow patterns much or take classes. I am sure I am not the only one out there like this. I think of something in my head, try it out and see if I can recreate what my brain has created.<br />
<br />
I started sewing when I was little with my mom, she bought me my own Brother sewing machine when I got married some 24+ years ago. It died because I did not know how to take care of it. I used it to sew almost all of the baby clothes for my little guy who is now almost 23.<br />
<br />
Of course how most things start. I had been thinking I needed a new sewing machine because I had not had one in about 12 years, mom comes to visit and shows me the Husqvarna sewing machines (she is into quilting and embroidery). After she left, I went back and got the Eden Rose 250C and that is where it all started.<br />
<br />
Some 4 years later, I am addicted to sewing quilts, problem is I want to sew and have more ideas than relatives to give them to, not to mention my kids were growing up and I needed something else to fill my time.... Hello, sell quilts online. Easier said than done I say. But I have sold a few and have had good reviews from the people who bought them.<br />
<br />
Long post here but since it is my first I guess that is okay. I will try and post little bits here and there about what I am working on at the time, my fails and what has worked out. In addition to my posts please check out my gallery, where you can view photos of what I have finished and find links to my Ebay Store (once I figure it out.)<br />
<br />
Have a great day and thanks for reading.Ladybug Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07923241306636018533noreply@blogger.com0
