group and tying in with that the yahoo group which will help line you out on about any issue i thought i would be able to start on time but not to be my book arrived and i began to read it i couldn t stand it it should be a staple in most quilt libraries i believe it will be by the time this quilt along ends that is the thing i do not think it will end as more and more quilters enter our internet community and begin quilting they are going to eventually face this quilt along reading online at the difficulty with templates blocks and oh my gosh what fabric i have read everything from our modern sisters to the civil war repro women they have an entire group of their own the book is fascinating with letters from women accompanying the pictures and instructions for two blocks of the 111 blocks that make up the book i have a feeling i will be transformed to the farm when i get going i cannot wait oh yes it has a cd in the back with the templates for the blocks so this book gets an a and i know i did not need to review it as you are probably already working on yours the second book gets an a as well if you like to make bags and amy butler bags at that style stitches gives you a total of 26 bags by giving options of sizes which can be a problem with her patterns there is not one bag in this book that i would not want to own some are very time and material intensive but most are no worse than the birdie sling which i think a lot of us have made love the ruffle on that bag time for some eye candy thanks to pink castle fabrics cias palette fabricworm sew love fabric and the intrepid thread on etsy whew good couple of mail weeks it seems everything came at once darn i hate that loulouthi thanks to lara for the au ds prints new pearl bracelets lizzy house stuff i needed bella solids shot cottons omg you cannot imagine let me help you can see the colors mouth waters whew time to get back to sewing some of this stuff up i am also starving to death and i am certain my sweet hubby is are there threads all over your house like all the time do you have a lint roller in multiple rooms and the car mmm hmmmm thought so happy sewing leslie posted by leslie at 7 42 pm 1 comment labels farmer s wife sampler quilt quilt along stash fabric style stitches time s up bees swaps and projects hello friends where does the time go how do some of the quilters and crafters get done in a week what takes me a month or more to complete i think we all have a style my style is circling the wagon i get an idea and i drive myself crazy planning it i can get quite carried away by the way have you all seen tula pink s quilt spacedust oh my there are no words look at the quilting geesh the reason i mentioned that is if you read how she came up with that design and the description of the drawing and layout you will kind of get the idea of how i do things this is the drawing before the quilt quote from tula so this is the crazy map that was supposed to tell me what went where i had this quilt idea pop into my head around three a m one morning during this time of night my mind works a little differently than any other time of day i remember this seeming extremely logical at the time the difference is obvious hers turns into something awesome mine turns into something less awesome that i sometimes have doubts about see previous post which was ridiculous so now i still have three more blocks to make because i had to pick the complicated block in the same months that i was leaving town and watching mother in law i did manage to get the mug rug adventure swap 2 complete on time that is another thing i had this idea and drew it out on paper and then spent days agonizing over the tiniest details then if something could go wrong it did from thread issues to major mistakes this mugrug has been ripped and reripped in the end i think it turned out pretty cute although i should have appliqued the bubbles before i put the backing on the bubbles are all different colors and although the bobbin thread was natural that much color cannot help coming through oh well character right then there are always these lofty projects i see online angela at cut to pieces has an awesome tutorial for fabric organization here i thought it was genius to use comic book backs to access your fabric let me tell you this is no small task for me this is as far as i got with that i have another partial shelf but i went through 200 of these in a jiffy this is some of what i have left some if you have a large stash i would suggest buying in bulk i would start with at least 500 you can wrap everything from 1 2 yard up to well i did 3 on a few remember a major destash awaits at the end and as i have missed any blogiversary i will be doing something special for my friends i am still trying to find a good scrap system any ideas seriously i almost paid for a class i may still if someone doesn t help me with a better system my poor daughter summer and pregnant she had wanted an apron and i just love the pretty ditty apron by jamie christina which i purchased here what you see hanging out of the sides is wide elastic which just sleeves through the waistband i still need to add the waist ties which i will feed into the waistband several inches room to grow i really love aprons i kind of collect patterns a few i need to whip one out for me so that is what is going on at the moment my reward for finishing is the beginning of what i think will be the largest quilt along ever next post i hope all of you are caught up and have fabric that you love leslie

and live my life at the same time i am at the age where parents are beginning to be an issue for the past two weeks i have had my mother in law with alzheimers to give my husbands brother and sister in law a break even though i am a nurse by profession it is not a job for the weak at heart or anyone with a hobby like sewing if my camera battery had not died i would show you what i did manage to get accomplished which is organizing some of my fabric but the reason for this post is this is this a stupid block do not be nice i need to make four more blocks they are time consuming and i have a backup block i just do not want to give a stupid block the colors were obviously aqua orange and yellow the person likes hr well who doesn t but have i stared at this block for too many hours and blinded myself against it i have made only two of the six i am to make here was the initial one i had no reservations about this one came together quickly and i like it did my mother in laws alzheimers skew my thought processes and creativity or am i just having a mini breakdown help a girl out before someone gets a bad block if i were doing it again i would do a wonky log cabin in a circular design similar to this but not as structured thanks for your input posted by leslie at 3 36 pm 2 comments labels three by six sampler quilt mini bee saturday may 28 2011 sunday stash and a quick book review two posts in one night must be the sun today i need to grab pink chalks button the girls at this store are amazing they will bend over backwards to help you find what you need so i wanted to mention the monthly solids club has anyone else joined this but me you can choose fq hy or fy and i suppose any amount that you want i chose fq because every month for a minimal price like a pizza you receive one of these lovelies no you do not get the perle cotton or the mason jars but you do get eight beautifully coordinated colors with an awesome color card telling you exactly which company and color they are i have a kona color card but with the little swatches sometimes it is not spot on this is like having a large color card on file that you can use some of the colors i would never think of ordering but they are heaven in person they began this in march and i think it is worth the investment this arrived today i can honestly say where some lines there are a few prints you are not crazy about this is not one of them the colors are divine fussy cutting get ready tula pink has outdone herself with prince charming i cannot wait to see what all will be created with this line no pic but i finally finished collecting all the voile in little folks now i am on a stripe and polka dot kick i am getting ready for major destash i am tired of looking at quite a bit of what i have finally i received two books i have been interested in looking at i am just as bad about buying quilting books i have seen these patterns online most of the time so i do not know why i do it other than i cannot get enough of beautiful creative quilts i can waste a lot of time doing this instead of creating them one i love the other i will be sending back block party is a delight i know of and follow most of the girls in it and it is not really a quilting book although it is just more like a story a story that you and i and all the girls guys we swap fabric with blocks with mugrugs with but mainly the way most not all of us learned this new way of quilting by reading blogs and finding inspiration to me it is fascinating the way we help each other support each other have our own language we understand each others artistic abilities and struggles and inability to cut into that fabric i loved the intro by denyse she was spot on anyway definitely a book worthy of reading the quilts are adorable and is generally a fun book the second book fresh fabric treats i was really disappointed with i thought moda would put out a book with i don t know something i couldn t get off moda bakeshop i mean no offense to any of the bakers all the designs are good and the quilts pretty but i do better looking through them on my own on the website if anyone wants to buy or swap this book i am in have a great holiday weekend i hope everyone gets to sew leslie posted by leslie at 11 22 pm 4 comments labels block party books pink chalk fabrics prince charming solids tula pink family heirlooms well i went to walmart yes walmart to replace my camera i know i am usually not caught dead in there unless it is an emergency i decided to get an inexpensive camera holding out for big daddy at christmas i chose a fuji honestly out of all the cameras i tried it had the sharpest pics and ease of use here is the kicker to this story you know when you download a pic say to flickr do you know what mine reads fuji model then it states walmart omg now not only was i in walmart but i bought a camera and am taking my most precious pics with the dang thing my hubby is trying to make it go away but it is not working so just know i replaced my camera with a fuji at walmart like the complete dork that i am so i lost all my precious pics from home but i can share with you what i scored in t town tulsa for those of you who know nothing about it 1 two t shirts that boast of tulsa or oklahoma i just had to mention that 2 my parents met and fell in love when they were 12 they have been together since that time and they are now 75 this quilt is the one they slept under the first few years of their marriage and i wanted it bad sadly i have no idea who made this for them and it is pretty worn i am going to have to patch several squares but i love its uniqueness and the unusual feedsacks that were used my mom could not understand why i wanted this worn one when a pretty pastel nine patch that looked unused and had no character sat there for my choosing i like my choice then i went snooping out in the garage in their other home where my daughter lives and found this lamp my mother found the urn in an antique store in the 60 s and my grandfather turned it into a lamp with wood and metal workmanship it became separated in a couple of spots so it will visit the lamp doctor here in town i think it is awesome next i took my mother to a lovely place called windsor market where they have a little something for everyone and i found these unbelievably awesome curtains they are 100 linen with french script and these babies are big i can t wait to get them up won t they look great with the lamp no heirlooms but picked up a bit of stash from a lqs along with a couple of rulers that looked interesting that is all i could salvage out of the trip to ok i will be back with a stash report soon if it is as nice where you are as it is here get outside and plant some things look at this beauty from japan a climbing bleeding heart i thought i would just die when i saw it happy saturday leslie posted by leslie at 8 22 pm 2 comments labels antique bleeding heart plant fabric stash gardening heirloom quilt wednesday may 25 2011 a poll i need your help i have been on vacation going back home to tulsa for the last week it was wonderful to see all of my friends family and especially my two year old grandson jackson he is really something else i cannot believe how much he reminds me of my daughter and the love i feel for him is so similar i will not go on and gush but i was looking forward to sharing some pictures with you all of an awesome family quilt i scored the pile of fabric i obtained from the lqshops in the area the dilemma i left my camera behind at my parents house ordinarily this would be no big deal but you do not know my parents it is gone for an eternity it will eventually surface but who knows when sidenote they are not hoarders they have a lovely home a very large home with tons of decor shelving etc my mom lost her ipad and we ended up finding it two weeks after she lost it i needed a new camera anyway as i have expressed the last couple of times i have posted somehow i could not get things just right so this brings me to you fellow bloggers artists and photographers i have been doing my research by reading and even looking on flickr at who takes good pics and the cameras they are using interesting i personally think this is awesome i like to look at this do these work hmmm okay enough fun if you all could help me i would be grateful you know how many cameras are out there and you know what we use them for i want something reliable takes multiple shots without a lot of hassle ease of use is huge to me although i do have photography experience and know how to adjust f stops and lighting and it may be nice to do that sometimes i need a motion stabilizer i like to do all my editing on the computer not the camera i do not like to use aa batteries because it is not cost effective i am looking at anything in the range from 200 500 i am looking at another canon but i kind of like the nikon for motion stability and the speed of rapid shooting i know very little about fuji pentax olympus please leave me a comment on your experience or opinions thanks to all my friends leslie posted by leslie at 5 27 pm 4 comments
