i know i keep saying that but it s so true never in my imagination would i have guessed that i would be enjoying this so much i keep asking myself why i waited so long to jump into applique and have finally decided that the time was just not right everything in it s time i only have two more blocks to applique and then i have to finish the final touches on the blocks embroidery and such so there s still alot of work to be done i ve been spending so much of my free time with this applique that i m neglecting my sewing machine and i m starting to go through withdrawals lol it s time to think about piecing a top i keep wishing for more hours in a day or that 8th day of the week someday i will be back later to address everyone s wonderful comments i appreciate them very much posted by darlene at 10 22 pm 12 comments saturday july 15 2006 pumpkin hill more progress block 3 is done done done i went to sew with my buddies last night at one of the local quilt shops and they couldn t believe how far i ve come i sat all night either finishing up this block or tracing the next three blocks i was really excited because i got a lot of tracing done and then realized i d made a huge boo boo so all my tracing was a waste of time aarrgghh oh well it happens so after i m finished with this update i m going to sit down with my light box box of freezer paper and marking pen and start all over again i m thinking about just tracing the next block and prepping all the pieces cuz there s a baseball game on tonight and i need to be ready to sit and sew it was so nice to see my sewing buddies last night such a relaxing time we re 9 women who came together completely by accident over two years ago at a time when we were all at loose ends with our lives one of the ladies says it was a god thing and i completely agree we re a very diverse group all ages we re moms grandmas career women retired women and quilting is our bond we d been sewing together once a month at one of the local quilt stores and my 50th birthday was approaching so i asked them if they d like to go north to the mountains on a quilting retreat with me to help me celebrate my birthday i couldn t believe it they all jumped up pulled out calendars and said absolutely i believe it was that trip that helped us bond we ve been sewing together twice a month since then and we go on a retreat four times a year now in fact we re going again the first week end in august and i m looking forward to it we re going to celebrate my 52nd birthday while we re there they went in may but i couldn t join them because i was recovering from surgery and didn t feel it would be a good idea to go i m really looking forward to this one coming up lots of sewing eating laughing and relaxing thought for today well behaved women seldom make history posted by darlene at 3 03 pm 8 comments friday july 14 2006 snowman country woohoo i m really really excited the big brown truck stopped by and dropped off a new applique project snowman country i ve been bitten so hard by this applique bug this is all i want to do i m having a blast with pumpkin hill but now i want to start this one no i can t do it really i just can t oh my goodness who s going to stop me from starting this one temptation off to look at my new pattern posted by darlene at 12 24 pm 6 comments thursday july 13 2006 pieces parts i ve been working on block 3 of pumpkin hill the house and hill are done and now you see i ve scattered the other pieces parts all over the place lol the last two days have been busy ones so i m looking forward to putting my feet up tonight and doing a bit more on this block i definitely suffer from ocd most know that to mean obsessive compulsive disorder my dh calls it over the counter dilemma consequently when i get into something i get into it big applique has taken over my mind this is all i think about and all i want to do i ve got a ton of projects that i ve purchased over the last couple of years and this week i ordered yet another project and signed up for another block of the month sick sick sick thought for today i m ordinarily patient provided i get my own way in the end margaret thatcher posted by darlene at 6 47 pm 2 comments monday july 10 2006 pumpkin hill part deux block 2 is done well i still need to do some details poor little owl still needs his eyes and feet i m thinking about using buttons and beads for his eyes i ll decide that later on saturday i took a p3 applique class again decided that i needed a refresher same quilt store but different teacher so the class was definitely different from the first class i took well over two years ago i came away refreshed and more excited it s time to prep block 3 and it would probably be a good idea to prep several more this is a good time to do it because it s the all star break for baseball so no games at night till later this week thought for today do something today to make your heart smile gratitudes a husband that understands supports and encourages my obsession and addiction quilting caffeine free diet coke so refreshing a c yes again i live on the surface of the sun posted by darlene at 6 32 pm 7 comments thursday july 06 2006 thank you i m still learning about blogging so i m not sure how to respond and send individual e mails to everyone who has taken the time to post about my quilting and applique progress thank you very much for you wonderful comments and words of encouragement i especially want to say thank you for visiting my little corner of the world my quilting daze blog posted by darlene at 6 15 am 1 comment wednesday july 05 2006 applique progress here s another section to block 1 still need to add four stars to the blocks below the squirrels and pumpkin carriage but i need to practice prepping the stars points and i are not friends grrrrrrrrrrrrrr and of course i ll need to add the finishing touches later buttons on the wheels and on the door of the carriage embroidery from the carriage to the squirrels and heart leaves that will have to wait till later so i m going to set this block aside temporarily and start prepping the pieces to block 2 this so exciting and i m having an absolute blast lol thought for today may the work of my hands be a gentle expression of the love that is in my heart gratitudes air conditioning it s hot and muggy today ick posted by darlene at 4 25 pm 7 comments tuesday july 04 2006 sewing sewing sewing absolutely nothing has gotten done in this house all week end no cooking the dishes are piled in the kitchen sink the whites are still in the dryer etc however i have gone to bed every night with a smile in my heart on saturday night i pulled this project black and beyond from 40 fabulous quick cut quilts and got busy very scrappy and lots of strip piecing but another quick and easy project another quilt top to add to the need to be quilted pile lol i have had so much fun this past couple of days lots of time spent in my sewing room studio out long enough to grab a bite to eat watch a baseball game etc thought for today let freedom ring gratitudes my little spot in the world the freedom to choose how i spend my days posted by darlene at 8 31 am 5 comments sunday july 02 2006 applique oh my goodness i ve actually completed part of block 1 and have another section ready to sew down yeehaw i am so excited lol now i want to find the other projects i have and get busy oh that s probably not a good idea better to just continue plugging along on this one ok vicky are you ready pull your pumpkin hill pattern and all your fabric out and get started i wish i could tell the whole world how excited i am silly i know i went to sew with my buddies on friday night and they were shocked when i pulled out my light box and pumpkin hill pattern and started tracing more of the blocks i can hardly wait to see them again to show them what i ve done thanks for all the comments and compliments on my pattern selection off to play some more posted by darlene at 6 33 pm 3 comments p3 designs applique p3 designs style of applique is basically freezer paper and spray starch here s the link to pearl s website www p3designs com i ll be back later with pictures of my completed acorns finished them today while i watched the baseball game and now i m going to finish prepping another section woohoo i m loving this be back later posted by darlene at 3 29 pm 1 comment saturday july 01 2006 applique and me i have had a love hate relationship with applique for quite awhile why i wish i knew lol i was extremely interested in handapplique because i love handwork a couple of years ago i took a p3 applique class at one of our local quilt shops and i fell in love with this method here was a way for me to do some handwork and hopefully enjoy it i played with it a little but haven t really accomplished much big sigh about the only thing i ve truly accomplished is purchasing lots and lots of projects oh yes there are lots when i discovered the world of blogs i saw pictures of some incredible applique projects so i sent e mails to jeanne spiral vicky la quilter and patti passionate about quilting and briefly chatted with all of them about their applique preferences and why all three of three offered lots of words of encouragement and told me to just jump in and do it so i ve been thinking about this alot and even purchased yet another project lol i m not overly fond of alot of prep in anything and the p3 method has lots of prep starch and freezer paper so i was still feeling shy about jumping in ok enough is enough lol this week i decided it was time to just jump in and get started and so i have woohoo i selected my project pumpkin hill by bunny hill designs gathered my tools and prepped my first two blocks acorns i ve got thread to match and hopefully tonight or maybe tomorrow i ll start doing the handsewing i am so excited 2nd thought for today busy hands make happy hearts posted by darlene at 4 07 pm 5 comments sometimes you just need to sew a slump or lack of inspiration maybe feeling paralyzed by my so called stash is it because my room is a mess and i don t like to work in clutter yet i m not inspired to clean it either lol doesn t matter i simply have not been sewing i had a long talk with myself and decided that it was time to find a project that would be quick and easy and make friends with my sewing machine again it s been missing me lol and so i sewed this week woohoo the floral project turning twenty again is done with 12 floral fat quarters quick easy and done and the pastel quilt is a twin size it s folded in half yellow brick road quilt i purchased the fat quarter bundle of those plaid pastel fat quarters over 7 years ago and have been hoarding them for the quilt i found them on wednesday and decided that they would be a great yellow brick road and i love it i even had border and backing fabric in the drawer with the bundle another quick and easy project call them done ok so they re not quilted technicality now it s time to search for a new project am i ready for something with more grit and substance triangles etc or should i find another quick and easy more questions sigh on a different note my daughter kristie and i had a girl s night out on thursday and we went to see the premiere of the devil wears prada we laughed and laughed and had a wonderful time on the way home we did dashboard dining had chick fil a yum thank you kristie thought for today nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm ralph waldo emerson gratitudes my only daughter
