moose bay muses moose bay muses tuesday june 22 2021 end of an almost era it s been almost ten years since i did my first blog post august 9 2012 i am told that if you subscribe to moosebay muses by email the feedburner platform is going away and you won t receive the latest post in your mailbox after june i ve made the difficult decision to stop blogging and not make the move to a new platform i want to thank everyone that has followed the blog i thank you from the very bottom of my heart it has been wonderful meeting and conversing with other quilting enthusiasts and making new friends i am still posting occasionally on instagram and hope you will look me up there i am breezypointquilter these are the last of the photos on my camera i haven t completed anything in the months since my previous post way back in january but have started several lol i m still working on the log cabins and decided on this setting if i ever finish all of the blocks i needed a hand sewing project and decided to start di ford s route 66 quilt all of the rosettes are completed and the background hexie fabric has been prepped the floral on the left will be my border and the blue on the right is for the fussy cut diamonds that will create a path around rosettes you know how addicted i am to a sew along i tried to stay true to my vow not to do anymore of them but caved and started barbara brackman s ladies aid block of the month i ve also started a primitive stitching project but you will have to join me at instagram to see those photos take care and love to all karen posted by karen in breezy

have been half heartedly piecing log cabins from these strips i cut last fall and i put together these four patches that had been sewn from my scrap box for a humble quilts sal couldn t resist the name fifty shades of brown lol i think i have more like 75 shades of brown if you count the borders backing and binding i m not sure why it looks so misshapen here it s about the size of a placemat and it will probably be a donation to meals on wheels i spend most of my days doing handwork like this little needle punch bowl filler i don t think it was meant to be a bowl filler but that s how i m using it my texas star quilt was on the top of my 2020 list of quilts that had to be finished but it didn t happen i had been doing the hand quilting in the evenings this month and all of a sudden it was done when i was measuring the top for binding i decided i didn t want zigzag edges so decided to applique some wedges to the sides and then quilt those as well so it wasn t quite done i was excited that the end was in sight though and worked on it pretty diligently it went pretty quickly here is my finished texas stars fresh out of the dryer this morning there are 99 hand pieced stars the pieces were cut from strips using metal templates i m not even sure when i started making the stars but it has been many years for sure i didn t expect to have a finish for the first month of 2021 and it may be a while before i have another finish but i am so pleased to have finally completed my texas stars posted by karen in breezy point at 2 38 pm 69 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday december 28 2020 it s a wrap it was a slow process but i finally finished the final twelve blocks for afternoon delight my hope was to get them done before the end of year so i m very happy and relieved that it happened i decided long ago that i would not do an on point block setting i want my double nine patch blocks create a diagonal path chain you can see what that will look like here when the designer sue garman was deciding on how she would set her blocks it will be a while before i get to start setting my blocks my design wall is full and waiting for me to get to work i have yet to fire up my machine since my surgery so i imagine my first task will be to oil her up thanks to everyone who commented and sent good thoughts my way i haven t taken the time to figure out why i no longer get my comments by email another job to add to the list i am getting around without my walker and feel stronger everyday happy new year to you all stay safe posted by karen in breezy point at 10 36 am 44 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday november 25 2020 oops i want to thank everyone that took the time to comment or write me after my last post it s so uplifting to have so much encouragement and good wishes thank you this is the extent of my work in the sewing room i finally remembered that i needed to print out the october and november afternoon delight bom patterns i was so happy to see that the december patterns were already available too as my membership ends this month soooo these are final twelve blocks it has taken me weeks to just choose the fabrics my brain doesn t seem to be functioning on all cylinders lol it s going to be slow going getting the edges prepped and sewn as i have a bit of tremor in my hands hopefully that will clear up soon thanksgiving is going to be different for us all but i hope you will be safe i know i have a lot to be thankful for posted by karen in breezy point at 11 39 am 53 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday november 6 2020 a little update on september 28th mr moosebay insisted on taking me to the er a week later i woke to find that my entire colon had been removed i had lost 20 pounds was now diabetic and had an ileostomy they told me i had been in an induced coma as i coded and intubated during the first part of the surgery that was done to remove necrotic tissue the rest of the surgery was finished the following day i also had a dangerous c diff infection thankfully i don t remember anything that happened before during and for quite a while afterwards the surgeon told me that he had done my particular surgery only five times before and he had only two survivors i was one of them i had been feeling a little angry that he had taken my whole colon but realized what a miracle it was that i was even alive and so grateful for all of the efforts taken to make that happen i developed hospital acquired and aspirational pneumonia i became malnourished and had a feeding tube put in causing me to lose my voice and ability to swallow finally after three weeks flat on my back i was sent to a nursing rehab center i worked very hard to get back on my feet and had an awesome team working with me i was told i would probably be there for up to six weeks but i am home now after only two weeks i have nursing care coming in to help with my ileostomy but i can dress and shower myself the only time i cried during this ordeal was when i was gathering my things to go home i was so overwhelmed by how many wonderful cards email texts and messages i got with words of encouragement you will never know how much they all meant to me that you took the time to think of me thank you thank you thank you i m not sure when i will be up to working in my sewing room again hopefully soon in the meantime i will be working on getting stronger with some help from my new wheels posted by karen in breezy point at 3 55 pm 48 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday september 13 2020 biding time i ve been looking for things i can do with my right hand and a little help from the fingers on my left hand and decided i could prep the september afternoon delight blocks for applique hopefully i ll be able to do some hand stitching soon i also managed to complete my paint by number that i started about 2 years ago i had lost interest in it almost right away it s not the most creative way to spend one s time but the more i worked on it these last few weeks the more i enjoyed it kind of mindless fun and kept me occupied but not occupied enough to keep me from doing some on line shopping i splurged on a half yard bundle of judie rothermel s latest line of fabric coming to america i don t have any plans for the fabric but just had to have it i can t wait until i can t start sewing again posted by karen in breezy point at 11 43 am 51 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday september 1 2020 september one monthly goal the night before my wrist surgery i was looking for something to occupy myself and ended up marking all of the squares and rectangles for butter butterscotch by linda koenig because of the screws in my hand feels more like ice picks any pressure i put on it is pretty painful but i think i can push fabric through my sewing machine maybe not right away but later in september my one monthly goal for september is to get all 348 triangles sewn i don t think i will be able to square everything up though my instructions are to not push pull or lift anything over one pound it s hard to know if pushing down on a ruler to square up a half square triangle exerts more than one pound of pressure so until i get the okay from the doctor i best avoid it linking with one monthly goal here posted by karen in breezy point at 11 52 am 35 comments email this blogthis share
