routines and experience i am making play dates for her arranging meeting of as many people as i can along with regular puppy training so far she is doing fabulously the first night was long but the

coordinator here is her quilt and i don t remember what she named it i named it amazing this quilt was big and andrea s original design i always like a before quilting shot as you can see i did a different design in each color section please notice how the pieces were all fussy cut and finally the center star burst notice the fussy cutting here too amazing my thanks to andrea for trusting her quilting to me and for giving me such amazing quilts to work on esther posted by esther at 7 32 am 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday june 1 2015 liz s quilt one of my close friends liz made this quilt and this is what i did with it a few notes before all the photos this quilt was deceptively difficult the square blocks are not square they are taller than they are wide which made things a little tricky with the curved lines i wanted to do on them what i ended up doing is using two different sizes of curved rulers i used the ones made by the quilted pineapple and i love them here are the photos i apologize that i don t have a good photo of the entire quilt this was one that came in and went out as fast as possible this is the overall design of the quilt i chose five different designs and rotated them through the blocks the photos are kinda dark the quilt was much prettier than it looks in the pictures thank you to liz for sending it my way thanks for joining me esther posted by esther at 8 59 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday may 2 2015 birdie quilt for angie my young friend angie loves all things birds so when i saw this cute bird quilt kit a few years ago i knew i would be making it for her or one of her little ones these assorted silly birds were hand appliqued and the legs were stitched with embroidery floss the fill was large pebbles with swirls sprinkled in this was fun and relatively fast minimal quilting on the birds to accent wings thanks for joining me and i apologize again for my poor blogging i miss it and i miss my connections with my blog friends and my excuses are lame life is good quilting is good and my family is great two new grand babies and everyone is doing really well esther posted by esther at 8 19 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday march 8 2015 two babies two quilts hello hello i made two of elizabeth hartman s hedge hog quilts here they are as decorations for a baby shower along with cake pops and other yummies this shower was especially fun because it was for my two girls stefanie and emily who are both expecting their third baby next month i stitched the backing pieces together and loaded it as one piece and then added the tops like normal just side by side here are some close ups of the quilting we also decorated onsies at the shower i had prepped assorted fabric with wonder under and the guests were so clever and creative i am feeling very blessed and for those of you who want to read more here is the poem i wrote as the invitation to the shower enjoy it s time to party let s all share the joy the birth of two babies one girl and one boy stefanie and emily their tummies are growing pregnant together their faces are glowing with two children already now baby makes three how can we help them what do they need blankets and rattles sleepers and jammies carseats and teethers highchairs and lambies these treasures they have from showers before what could they use do they really need more but how can we help them to ease the transition from two babies to three that is our mission though babies are tiny they can be most demanding sometimes a new mother can fall asleep standing but holly and ethan micah and zeb joey and chad all need to be fed so this is our plan what we want to do a change from the usual let s do something new prepare food for their families their freezers let s fill with yummy and tasty ready made meals crockpot dinners are convenient and fun pour it all in the cooker and dinner is done disposable pans are always a winner no dishes to wash after eating their dinner so make just one meal no need for a pair the girls can decide which meal will go where please join the fun please save the date we will all come together on sunday march 8th angie s house is the place three o clock is the hour we will celebrate babies at a freezer meal shower posted by esther at 9 00 pm 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday september 28 2014 before and after this was a quicker than i thought project that made a huge difference i have this great comfy glider that i love but the denim type upholstery was really dingy and i thought how fun it would be if i recovered it i was hesitant for a long time thinking it would be more difficult than it was but when i finally decided to tackle it no problems i took the back seat and each arm pad and used them to trace a pattern basically it was like making a tight fitting pillow case my biggest concern was how to tackle the industrial snaps that were on the arm cushions and on the wooden arms of the glider ah ha i just cut out a button hole or really a snap hole and pushed the original snap through the new cover and snapped them onto the chair frame easy thanks for reading esther posted by esther at 6 40 am 8 comments email this
