Seahorse Pillow

2012-01-06T19:16:00.001-05:00

I wanted to make a pillow to coordinate with my teal and beige seashell bedspread...

this is what I worked with

I found a clipart that I cut out...adhered it to Heat N Bond-Lite....I was not

too happy with the Heat N Bond...It did not really adhere well to the fabric....

What I wanted to do was iron the seahorse on the fabric and then stitch around

the applique....I used a burlap-like fabric for the pillow and a batik for the seahorse...Instead of stitching around the applique I applied Tulip Slick, a

dimensional fabric paint that secured the edges to the fabric.....

This is the finished pillow....

Happy New Year!!!

Transformation

2011-08-16T20:42:00.001-04:00

I love surfing the web to see and learn what people are doing...It amazes me how many talented people there are in this world and the internet reveals it to everyone....

Recently, I came upon Heaven's Walk blog where I found this

technique Laurie did.....

the graphic came from The Graphics Fairy where you can find

a wonderful assortment of vintage images and crafty projects...

After reading the how-to on Heaven's Walk I decided to look

for a graphic on The Graphics Fairy.....

I have had these 2 crock jugs for a long time and wanted to

try my hand at this technique....

I chose two different graphics and this is

how they turned out.....

it actually makes the jugs look older and the one jug has

the label scratched off somewhat to give it that

aged look....

I know I will be doing this technique again.....

It is addicting......

Happy Birthday, Molly.....

2011-08-11T09:49:00.001-04:00

The other day was Molly's 10th Birthday.......

We sang Happy Birthday.....

and then gave her a birthday treat......

in her favorite treat bowl.....

which she gobbled up....she loves this stuff...

after which she was lickin' her chops...umm..yummy

I think she liked it don't you?

Happy Birthday, Molly......

the other day I heard someone refer to their dog as their "furry child"...

she is our "furry child"

can you relate?

Red, White and Blue Scraps

2011-01-03T17:53:00.000-05:00

I have quite a few scraps left over from a patriotic quilt

I made some years back, actually, it was my first foundation

piece quilt...I really enjoyed sewing that together...

but now I have so many scraps that I decided to make a

string quilt...I have seen so many of the quilters that have

made a string quilt and now I am going to sew one..what

a great idea on how to use up all of your scraps....

I have been putting the blocks together..

I am sewing 6.5 inch blocks which will be 6 inches when sewn...

I have to make a small block since my scraps are not that

long...they were precut for the quilt I made...

I hope that I have enough to make a lap quilt...

I may have to add sashing and a few borders...

I also have a star that is made from 4 of the blocks

from the original quilt and I thought I could use

that as well....

I will have to see how this turns out....

wish me luck...LOL...

I live about 15 miles north of Philadelphia...

The Eagles game was cancelled until Tuesday...

Philadelphia Mayor Nutter declared a snow emergency at 2pm today and told

everyone to stay off the roads...

My sister had a post-Christmas breakfast family

get together this morning...

as soon as we saw the snow falling (1pm) we started home...

visibility was not that great then.....

we made it home safe and sound....

no problems...

If you are travelling....stay safe....

Table runner Completed

2010-12-21T20:05:00.006-05:00

I have finally finished my 2nd table runner....

this is a Christmas gift for another family member..

(I can't mention any names....)

This is the same QAYG table runner that

I made previously....

I backed it with the same material as I did with the first one

This one is also reversible.....

The colors are more burgundy than red....

Now all I need to do is wrap it....

....Merry Christmas....

Trying to be Jolly....

2010-12-17T13:17:00.002-05:00

I am trying to be jolly...but it is hard since I had to do a system recovery on my computer...

6 hours on the phone with Gateway and still not finished....

I did manage to back all of the files...wheww!!! and my outlook express and address book....

another wheww!!! I cannot image trying to remember all of this stuff...so please everyone

remember to do a regular backup of your system...

I have Windows XP and my computer is 7 years old...so now I have to update my computer

with 7 years of updates....eek!!!

I am trying to finish a table runner in the midst of all of this..

but I keep on saying...this too, shall pass..sigh....

I hope everyone is having a happy holiday season....

Finished Project

2010-12-11T13:03:00.003-05:00

I previously blogged about the fabric I purchased and now I am ready to

show you what I made...

another table runner....

this is a Christmas gift for a family member

this one is a little different from the one

I made for myself as I made it reversible..

instead of backing it with muslin like I did mine...

I backed it with a Fall/Autumn fabric

now the table runner can be used for a

few holiday months..

When I showed my "other" family member

the table runner, she admired it

and I think that was a hint that

she would like one....

don't you think?

Well, now I need to make another one..

and I thought I was finished...LOL...

back to the fabric store for more

fabric.....

I hope everyone is enjoying themselves

getting ready for the holidays...

there are so many gifts being made...giveaways....

and fun things going on in blogland...

Until next time....

Finished my Weekend of Organizing

2010-11-16T10:55:00.001-05:00

I set time aside this weekend so I could organize my fabric....

This is what I started with

The process I used was laying the material out,

selvages together and placing a 6" x 24"

ruler on top of the material....

you then proceed to wrap the material around

the ruler......

continuing until you get to the end....

you then slide the ruler out and fold the right and left sides

to the middle and then fold again

until you end up with .....this....

it is then small enough to fit inside one of those

plastic "under the bed" containers....which will

look like this....

it is easy peasy, once you get started...

I actually finished with 4 containers

filled.....

I started to quilt the quilt...I decided to do a stippling design...oh my, what was I thinking....I am using all of my patience doing this on my domestic sewing machine...for the first time, never did a quilt this big....only smaller ones...I have consumed our DR table...it is the only place big enough to do this...

My first full size quilt

I am currently working on a Bonnie Scotsman Quilt. I am making it to cover a sofa bed. It is approximately 87" x 77". I have sewn it altogether and pinned it. I am so happy I have a large DR table. My husband put in the leaf and the pads and I pinned it on there. I figured it would be alot better than laying it out and pinning it on the floor...and better for my back...

I happened to stumble upon a wonderful blog spot "The Painted Quilt". Kaaren does beautiful quilts as well as create patterns that she shares. I just started downloading her BOM of Raggedy Ann and Andy...so cute. The second block was just posted so I need to hurry and do my two blocks before the 20th of next month. I am also working on my first full size quilt ...I will post some pictures of the blocks...
Here is the block I am working on...I need to make 56 of them...

This blogging is new to me although I have read so many blogs that you would have thought I would have had one by now. I love to sew, quilt and machine embroider. I hope to share some of my experiences and ideas on my blog.
