Text of the page (random words):
guessed it that i didn t have enough of the teal fabric left for an inside border more bad news i flopped around and moaned and complained for a while and thought about starting over on the whole border idea or skipping the borders altogether but i was already too far into the cutting of the teal and the floral fabrics to start over without wasting fabric and it is no longer an option to skip over to the quilt store and pick out some new fabric i am a committed stashbuster with a serious fabric storage problem and i am not buying anymore until i go to paducah and then i am totally having a fabric buying binge so instead of 2 borders teal and then brown floral i cut the teal in half to have enough to go all the way around the quilt and then had to add a 3rd border of raspberry to make up the measurement ugh here is a photo of my original border idea now i am not a border person it s usually the time when a ufo suddenly appears because i get frustrated or don t have enough fabric left or i get bored but not this time because i am forcing myself to finish these borders if it kills me tune in tomorrow to see if i have good news or bad news to report posted by quilter kathy 10 comments labels double delight mystery sunday march 22 2009 national quilt day yesterday was national quilt day in the us i think it should be an international celebratio n with the whole world having a day off work to enjoy quilting however the next best thing is having a whole saturday to enjoy quilting activities wherever you live in the morning the mini quilters came over and brought the quilts they finished last month which was the wheel of mystery pattern you can see my first one here and my heart version here the variation and creativity in these quilts just makes my heart sing each one is a little treasure i love it when the quilters pull their projects out of their bags and we get to see all their finished quilts if i loaded the photos correctly you should be able to click on the photos to enlarge them so you can see more details including unique quilting designs fancy stitching and button and bead embellishments this photo shows the beautiful projects from tuesday s group and the two quilts on the right are made from the same charm pack but look so different in tomorrow s post i will show you what i worked on in the afternoon of national quilt day posted by quilter kathy 4 comments labels miniature quilt class national quilting day wednesday march 18 2009 black white block challenge i forgot to post the results for the black and white block challenge you can see the block i made for the challenge here this is a photo of the blocks that were submitted the wide variety of techniques was amazing and i enjoyed looking at each one and trying to figure out how it was made if you live in the st jacobs area don t forget to go over to riverworks and vote for your favorite block you only have until saturday posted by quilter kathy 3 comments labels block challenge tuesday march 17 2009 happy st patrick s day this is a shamrock design that i saw 2 years ago when surfing the web i haven t been able to track down the original wallhanging to give credit to the quilter that posted the photo anybody recognize it so i can give proper credit i made it in a mini size and it is hanging on my front door today happy st patrick s day posted by quilter kathy 3 comments monday march 16 2009 quiltville finish i am so thrilled to announce that i have finished my orange crush quilt you can read about the creation of this quilt by reading the blogposts i have made since april 1st 2008 click here i enjoyed finishing the free motion c design i quilted in the light squares of the 4 patch chains but i sure laboured through the quilting of the orange blocks and the half blocks on the edges i made a list of the number of blocks to quilt and ticked off the blocks on the list as i quilted them so that i could see my progress that seemed to take a long time then to get more momentum going for myself i sewed and pressed the binding and set it in the middle of the table wrapped around a roll of paper towel so i could see that i was so close to being able to sew the binding on this encouraged me to finish the free motion swirly c designs in both borders i like this photo because you can see that i really was using up all my green scraps to finish the border of the quilt and here it is not a good photograph because a it was a sunny and windy day and b it is a big quilt 72 x 86 and my 6 tall son had to stand on a chair to hold it for me you can see the bottom left corner really well it is a really wonderful feeling of accomplishment to finish this year long quilt project and to know that the whole quilt top was made from stash fabric thanks again to bonnie for organizing this mystery one of my favorite quilting activities and for giving us a great quilt des ign posted by quilter kathy 15 comments labels orange crush thursday march 12 2009 retreat projects report 4 i think i am almost done posting about my quilting retreat projects this is the new quilt kit i cut out to start sewing at retreat it s no fun to just work on ufo s these fabrics are old 5 years percolating batiks from my stash i just love the look of all these pieces cut out and ready to start sewing for a quilt no mistakes made yet no realization that your colours choices are horrendous or that you don t like the pattern just hours of happy sewing ahead and the potential for a great quilt i wanted to use the pattern called buzz saw that i saw posted on the happy valley quilter blog almost 2 years ago i printed out the fabric cutting info but not the sewing instructions thinking a i was saving paper and computer ink and 2 i m sure i can figure it out so when i pulled out the project to work on at retreat i couldn t figure it out i asked one of our retreaters who went home to sleep if she could check on her computer when she went home the next day she reported that the block looked right and we figured out that i had cut all the light rectangles in error no where for them to go in the block so this is the buzz saw block and i had cut enough for 20 blocks since coming back from retreat i have sewn the blocks together and am thinking about using the mistakenly cut rectangles for an inner border i think it needs another border after that any suggestions posted by quilter kathy 8 comments labels retreat friday march 06 2009 retreat projects report 3 one of the projects i have been working on for almost a year is the quiltville orange crush mystery i alrea dy have 15 blog postings on this quilt and that s more than enough but here is a photo to prove that i took this baby to retreat and did more quilting on it jackie took this picture of me and if you are wondering why i tied my scarf on my head it is because i almost machine quilted it into the orange crush perhaps most people would have just removed the pesky scarf don t know why i didn t think of that i finished the c loops that i free motioned in the light chains then went back to working on the orange blocks which i really wanted to put some quilting in but couldn t get the thread to stop shredding at retreat i tried a 100 needle and it worked wonderfully so i am back to enjoying the quilting am about half way finished the orange blocks and feel like the end is in sight for this project posted by quilter kathy 8 comments labels orange crush retreat tuesday march 03 2009 retreat projects report 2 one of my goals for quilt retreat was to piece a block for a black and white block challenge at reichards all participants were given a square of black fabric and were asked to make a 9 block the blocks collected will be assembled into a quilt that will be auctioned at the mennonite relief sale in may with all the money raised going to relief efforts around the world before the retreat i had printed out one of my favorite paper piecing patterns in electric quilt in a 3 size i figured out the white and black placements and wrote the information on the back of the papers at retreat i spent a lot of time fussy cutting the centre fabrics for each block and cutting the wavy fabric so it would go the right direction to form a diamond shape in the block and here is the finished product i was happy with how it turned out but unhappy with the amount of time it took to construct winners of the block challenge which are decided by viewer s choice can win various cash amounts and i promised the retreaters that if they voted for my block and i won i would use the winnings to bring treats ie fabric to quilt retreat next year i have seen some of the blocks submitted and the variety of the results are just amazing i will post a photo of the quilt when it is
