nd for themselves she looked so ancient and huge i think she may have had a run in with an outboard motor from the looks of her shell this morning the eggs started to hatch my neighbor mo helped one little guy find his way to the lake okay now the tragic part a sibling wasn t so lucky what are the chances that a tiny turtle the size of a silver dollar will take his first steps out onto the road just as the postman pulls up to deliver the mail i will spare you the gory details posted by karen in breezy point at 6 15 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday august 21 2012 annie sloan chalk paint this spring i went a little crazy and painted a lot of our furniture i was so thrilled to finally have my hq16 quilting machine out of the dining room after four years and i felt like my whole house had been neglected it was and needed a face lift i put new fabric on my dining room chair seats recovered the snack bar stools seats and painted the legs white painted a quilt rack with white milk paint and painted two small pine chests with blue milk paint while all of this was going on i was doing some research on line because i wanted to slipcover a couple of chairs i came across this blog miss mustard seed and that is where i learned about annie sloan chalk paint i was really curious about what the fuss was and wanted to try some for myself but when i saw the price yikes very expensive plus there aren t any dealers locally and the shipping would have been crazy but i just really wanted to try it out especially since i had this chest that i was not in love with anymore this chest just didn t fit into our decor anymore plus the veneer was splitting on the sides at the curves you see annie sloan chalk paint ascp can be used over any surface any surface without prepping no sanding de glossing no removing old wax or polish nothing just start painting and getting this chest ready to paint was not going to be fun soooooo well you know i had to buy myself some ascp i found a wonderful source here and ordered louis blue and white i think you can figure out what my decorating theme is by now anyway my hubby helped me lift the chest onto the dining room table and i have to confess that i did one little bit of prepping that you can see in the photo of the side of the chest the veneer had separated on the curves so i smoothed them out with a little filler this is a shot of the side of the chest with one coat of ascp before distressing and waxing my little patch job bled through a little so i did add a bit of a second coat of paint to the sides just where the repair had been done the paint really does cover in one coat i retouched a little bit over the patched areas but on the rest of the chest there is just the one coat after it dried i lightly sanded the carved areas to bring out the detail i like kind of a primitive cottage farm house look ascp is supposed to be waxed after it dries and there is a special annie sloan wax and a special annie sloan brush those weren t in my budget i used some min wax that i already had on hand and an old paint brush to apply the wax this process went so fast the chest was back in our front hallway by the next afternoon i left the top of the chest unpainted since the hardware seemed to be dyed to match the wood color my flash makes the painted surface look shiny but it is more like an eggshell finish my can of paint is still three quarters full and i have that unopened can of white so i need to find something else around here i can redo i am dying to paint our grandfather clock but my husband has forbidden it i wonder though if he would really notice if i did it someday while he was out fishing linking up at between naps on the porch

sunday august 19 2012 dog tooth borders part 2 earlier i showed you how i did the dog tooth borders here that i am putting on my memory garden blocks now we are on to the corners on the final block all the sides have been appliqued now it s time for the corners finger press your square on the bias and fold in half bringing opposite corners together pin the resulting triangle in place and applique across the bias edge after appliqueing trim away the lower half of the square leaving a scant quarter inch seam you could trim away your background fabric also but i left mine and basted my corner to it the bleeding heart the final block of my quilt my dog tooth border was so much easier with these tools i wear the finger pincushion on my thumb perfect place to park a pin while turning under a dog tooth learn how to make one here courtesy of linda franz of inklingo i sometimes wonder how i got along without my little thread catcher you can squish it up and tuck it in your take along bag and not leave a trail of threads smart this was a free project from lisa bongean of primitive gatherings find the instructions here lastly i love my karen kay buckley scissors they don t have a super sharp point but do have an awesome serrated edge that really grabs the fabric perfect for cutting out applique shapes without slipping a sneak peek of my setting on the design wall posted by

2012 quilting olympics go baby if you know me you are sick to death hearing about my sewing room project that has been going on forever well maybe just a year or two it all started when i bought an hq16 quilting machine and had to keep it in my dining room for 4 years because there was no way it was going to fit into my sewing space upstairs my husband came up with the idea of moving my sewing room into our master bedroom almost twice the size and making the sewing room into our bedroom well who am i to argue with an idea like that the hq16 now residing in my new sewing space of course it wasn t going to be that easy along with the switcheroo we removed the popcorn ceilings replaced the carpet with hard wood flooring put in all new moldings and painted the walls i should add that aside from the painting my two sons and my spouse did it all themselves it was quite an undertaking but the whole point of this post is that i told my story on the moda blog the cutting table and i won a go baby cutting system how cool is that thank you moda quilting olympics judges for awarding me the gold medal in the square footage takeover event posted by karen in breezy point at 7 17 pm 1 comment

blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday august 14 2012 dog tooth borders fun and easy i basted some strips of fabric to the block for the dog tooth border the corners get added later we ve been busy sewing our memory bouquet blocks since january don t tell anyone but mine are almost all done really i m working on the last one right now i probably would have been done months ago but in a moment of craziness i decided to kick it up a notch and add dog tooth borders to my blocks i am loving the way they look so far so i think it was well worth it now to figure out how to set the blocks all the block but one i made myself a paper template to figure out spacing you can see the template laying on my strip on the left it looks like i am going to make my dog tooth border pointing out instead of in but that is because i use it to mark my points and valleys i use a pencil to lightly make a dot about an eighth of an inch from the inside edge of the fabric strip where i want to point of the tooth i mark a line in the valley out to the inside edge where i will slash the fabric to turn under as i applique i do my cutting as i go one tooth at a time here i have folded in the first side of a tooth and sewn up to the dot that i had marked earlier i usually take a couple tiny stitches at the point remember it s about an eighth of an inch from the edge of the fabric then i tuck in the other side of the tooth finger press to get a good crease open it back out and trim the fabric a scant quarter inch away from the fold then it s a matter of tucking that folded edge back in and using the needle to smooth everything in nicely stitch down to the valley here s one tooth finished you can see i use a fine pin to secure the side i m working on and one at the point where the tooth ends after i have worked the points all the way around the block i will add the corners i ll show you that next time as well as some nifty little tools that make life easier

dakota war one of the ladies in our stitch therapy group told me about a wonderful book abercrombie trail by local author candace simar it s a fascinating and disturbing tale about scandinavian settlers and the 1862 sioux uprising the cruelty and injustice toward the native americans was really heartbreaking and the tragedy that followed was brutal not for the faint of heart that it took place in minnesota was a real awakening not your little house on the prairie type of tale this week the star tribune is publishing a series about the dakota war and about little crow specifically the

memory bouquet this year the stitch therapy group at colorz for quilts has been working on old pattern by eveline foland called memory bouquet kathy munkelwitz did a trunk show at the shop last year and everyone fell in love with her version of the quilt i know my photo is awful sorry some of the gals were lucky and already had a copy of the kansas city star book star quilts ii the book contains the patterns that were published in the kansas city star newspaper in 1930 but sadly it is out of print you can probably find a copy on ebay susan colorz owner was able to find a few copies and also discovered that deb kratovil has a cd containing the designs that can be printed out according to barbara brackman s encyclopedia of applique the kansas city star printed 20 blocks in their newspaper but the detroit news printed 25 rosemary youngs has been posting the detroit new blocks for free on her website i m interested to see if she has all 25 of the bouquets this morning glory is from deb s quilt we had it on display at the shop for a while i believe that she had some help with some of the blocks so she may not have done this one herself so pretty this is kathy s morning glory block with beautiful embroidery and applique she used authentic feed sacks for the bowls and framed her blocks in ovals hand quilted of course i love that she added some extra details and used a lot of different stitches this is my first block the morning glory i shrank the designs about thirty percent and decided to do them in red w...
