timeless reflections august 2014 thursday august 28 2014 thanks for your help i love blogging friends i m always learning something new or being reminded of good quilty practices here are two examples from last week as i was binge sewing thanks cheryl who is at so many quilts so little time for coining this expression the first reminder came from nancy at tattered garden quilting nancy has been working on an applique where the pattern labeled some pieces to be made blue part way into it she decided that she didn t want to use blue unsewed those pieces and replaced them with something else that s a lot of work but it was good reminder to me a pattern isn t gospel this past week while i was binging i finally got out di ford s mystery quilt found in the quiltmania magazine these little diamond shapes have been bothering me since i stitched them it was time to unsew and replace them they would have always bothered me reminder change it if you don t like something another reminder came from hilda at every stitch she s been working on a medallion quilt and shared that she was working some of her borders slightly out of order so that the applique placement would be easier suddenly a light blub went on the applique placement is so tight and exact on this mystery quilt that i knew when i sewed the next border on i would sew some of the applique into the seam allowances hilda s work reminded me that by waiting to to add the applique pieces until the next border was sewn on i was setting the boundaries for the applique i d like to announce there have been no applique pieces lost or injured during the sewing of this border reminder figure out the best way for you and just do it thanks blogging friends for making my stitching better and better until next time posted by kyle at 6 00 am 19 comments labels mystery quilt friday august 22 2014 a little sweetwater earlier this week i had the opportunity to attend a fun presentation by one of the moda dream team designers karla eisenach of the sweetwater co karla lives just 45 minutes from fort collins down the road and then head east out into the prairie she and her two daughters have the creative and challenging job of designing 2 3 lines of fabric each year along with patterns and other fun things that so many of us enjoy making and using i met karla a long time along when she was starting her business under the name farmyard creations look i still have some of her first fabric line while she was designing for clothworks maybe about 1990 she s had an interesting journey from making little things designing scrapbook paper to now working with one of the most well known companies involved in the quilting industry sweetwater s colors are clear and modern she shared what s new and what will be coming our way in the near future their newest line being shown to shop owners now is boat house their patterns are super cute they love creating word fabric here s hometown they asked anyone who followed their blog to send in the name of their hometown so it could be included on the fabric i see my hometown one of their newest projects involves iron on labels it s the sweetwater label crew club lots of fun projects with cute cute labels maybe the next time you re fabric shopping you ll take a closer look at the fun and exciting fabric lines of sweetwater until next time posted by kyle at 6 00 am 9 comments labels fabric tuesday august 19 2014 back to school no i m not heading back to school thank goodness but tomorrow the school bells will be ringing to signal the first day of school here in fort collins i haven t had time to work on my projects and do any sewing this past week instead i ve been helping my daughter jessica get her fourth grade classroom set up she s switching grade levels and has tons of things to do she ll be working with the big kids now 4th graders if you ve ever been a classroom teacher or know somebody who is than you realize the time and effort and that most teachers put into their job the classroom environment sets the stage for motivation and learning and for good behavior creating a warm inviting and well run room doesn t just happen it takes a lot of thought and planning to have a colorful interesting functional and engaging start to the new school year i know of some lucky 4th graders who are going to have a terrific year until next time posted by kyle at 6 00 am 14 comments labels life tuesday august 12 2014 you heard it through the grape vine did you hear it through these grape vines that i ve been getting some sewing done i have these may not look like grapes but they will be very tiny ones that are 3 8 wide according to the pattern of noah and matilda they re suppose to be smaller but that s as small as i can handle mine might have come off of a gnarly vine but at least they re done there s more news along these grapevines the center is complete on my never ending quilt the roseville album quilt designed by kim mclean i ve been playing around with borders and i think i have the solution i just couldn t do anymore applique so i laid the top over another quilt of mine and i think using this kind of pieced border and a spacer will work anyway i m going to give it a try keep your ears to the grapevine until next time posted by kyle at 6 00 am 20 comments labels noah and matilda 1851
