I loved my blocks you all made so much that I decided to make some more so I could have a Queen size quilt for my bed. Then I got a bit carried away and decided to make a smaller version so that I could practice the quilting on my longarm before I tackled the bigger version. Blogger is not being nice with loading photos tonight!!<br />
Here is the smaller one blowing on the clothes line-before quilting-if you think you see that a couple of the grey fabrics look darker than the others you are right. Two different purchases and I didn't notice it till Ii quilted it!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5unk4jpZhQE/U7Ollh7Ef3I/AAAAAAAABO8/Npk2ByP5p18/s1600/SAM_0792.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5unk4jpZhQE/U7Ollh7Ef3I/AAAAAAAABO8/Npk2ByP5p18/s1600/SAM_0792.JPG" height="207" width="320" /></a></div>
And here I is a close up of the quilting, which I have to say I love and the machine behaved beautifully. I quilt freehand and I will do the grey parts the same as this but may change the design on the patterned fabrics.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And here is a final one of my helper-no matter where she is the moment the longarm starts she zooms down the hall and then bounds onto the quilt!! Why has blogger loaded the picture this way-I now give up!!!<br />

Elisa, your's hasn't arrived yet. I look forward to it being in my pile of mail when I get home from Australia. We leave on Sunday and will be there for a month. My b-i-l told me that I should wear the same shirt I had on when I was speaking to him on Skype today. I told him I don't think so. It is 19 degrees there and -30 here.... </div>

Maybe Elaine would like to make a cushion or a label from them. Maybe she would like to send me a bit more of the Moda Bella Stone........which I am more than happy to pay for and then I can right my wrong.<br />Why doesn't anyone in this town sell this fabric, I have called them all?<br />So sorry Elaine.<div style="clear: both;"></div></body></html>Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09276676085194609759noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5404646603011353555.post-76024977244805930252014-02-02T10:09:00.001-08:002014-02-02T10:09:19.563-08:00Janet and Elaine's blocksI finally had time to work on these blocks.

Elaine, I put your blocks in the mail earlier this week. And today when I looked at the picture I took of them, I see it is blurry! Oh well, hopefully you'll have the real thing to look at soon. Here is the blurry version...<br />

Thanks ladies! They're so cute! <br />
<br />
Sue, your block hasn't arrived yet, but I'm not worried yet. Mail can be super slow here sometimes. Other times it is average. I would give it at least another week before I start to think it's gone missing.<br />

I am pretty sure I got all the blocks when it was my turn. Since I moved I can not find that file I had to keep track. I made two nice 'round the world" twin size quilts with the blocks you all sent and the multiple blocks I made to go with them.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of one of them. We use them everyday!<br />

Did everyone get all of their blocks? I am going to send an email to all the "bees" to check to see how everyone did.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would love it if everyone would post a picture of their quilts, in progress or completed ok?</div>

What am I going to do with those, I thought and then it hit me. Make another block for Elaine. I pulled some more squares and put them over to the side thinking I was so clever and what a great surprise two blocks would be. Then I got sick and then never got back into the studio. Then I saw where someone posted two blocks. Duh, I guess we were supposed to make two blocks to begin with. Silly me for not thinking that from the start. Today, I finally got around to making the second block for Elaine. I will get it in the mail this week - hopefully tomorrow. Sorry for being so dense and not connecting the dots sooner. <br />
<br />
Speaking of blocks. I have received blocks from 9 of the 11 people on the list and reading the posts, I am thinking that this will be all that I am going to receive from this group. If the two people that haven't sent their blocks are still participating and plan on sending their block soon, please let me know and I will hold off putting my quilt together. If I don't hear from you soon, I will assume that I have all the blocks I am going to receive.

Sorry for the delay Janet-life just got in the way and I haven't been in the sewing room for about six weeks so this heralded the return.<br />
I had fun making this block and hope you like it. I can't wait to see them all put together.<br />

Janet,<br />
I hope you like your house block, kinda wonky my way. The hardest part was cutting between the fingers..<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sofa is under the block; the block actually has an all green background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, on to the last block. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found this on http://www.dontcallmebetsy.com/2012/03/patchwork-wheel-block-tutorial.html. The quilt block is Patchwork Wheel Quilt block tutorial and it's fun. I'm going to send the background fabric out to each and want you to use your scraps please. It's a 12.5" block, square up if you like, or not. I like bright and funky fabrics. I am in no rush, obviously with the holidays everyone was very busy. I put my block on the back burner and just plain forgot it. Forgive me Janet.</div>

She has an awesome blog and a great tutorial for this block. I bookmarked her so I could return and take my time going through her blog.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the fun year ladies and nudging each other on to go outside our comfort zones, or maybe that was just me! Happy New Years and thank you.<br />

Just made it<html><body>Hi Janet, i was so excited to be making a wonky house for you........my favourite way of messing around with fabric. Then life got in the way........no excuses, no worries but also no time to spread out stuff and sew.<br />Finally at 8.30 pm on December 31st, 2013 I have finally made your block. I'm sorry it won't arrive this month or even this year but it's finished, a smidgeon oversize so you can cut it down to fit.<br />Have fun putting together your quilt.<br />Hugs Sue.<br /><div style="clear: both;"></div><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3f-C28KdVU4/UsK4sN_98bI/AAAAAAAAGDE/9aqpf1hmxl8/res1388492883.313218.jpeg" align="left" style="margin-right:25px;"><div style="clear: both;"></div><br /><div style="clear: both;"></div></body></html>Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09276676085194609759noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5404646603011353555.post-19111209134916203532013-12-23T17:16:00.001-08:002013-12-23T17:16:52.398-08:00Finally.....I finished a houseJanet,<br />
I am not great at making houses. Working with things like this without a pattern is difficult.<br />
I hope you like it. I can not wait to see what you will do with these houses.<br />

I am absolutely terrible at sewing without a pattern. Call it Obsessive Compulsive. Whatever. I have tried for so long NOT to make my blocks look wonky that this almost causes a traumatic breakdown. I hope you aren't disappointed, Janet. Your block is in the mail.<br />
