No fabric in or out this week. Hubby went to work for a local potato farmer, as he does every fall. That meant that I could do other things around the house ( like cleaning - yuck!!) instead of spending time in the sewing room. Course the sewing room needed to be cleaned before the dust bunnies took complete control!!

I did go to Fargo, ND, on Friday and stayed overnight with my daughter Natalie (and of course my wonderful son-in-law Norm!!! LOL). Natalie and I went to a sale of crafting supplies being sold by local crafters. Great way to pick up crafting supplies for very reasonable prices. I bought some foam alphabet stamps for stamping fabric and a leaf rubber stamp. Most of the stuff was for scrapbooking which was good. Save me some $$$$'s. LOL

After the crafting sale, we headed over to see the Indian Summer Quilt Show in Fargo. The ND quilt guild puts on a nice quilt show every year. Some very talented ladies in the area.

One of the quilts on display was called "The Supper Quilt" by Don Locke, a very nice gentleman from Waxahackie, TX. On the back, you could see the great job of quilting. The second picture shows some of the quilting detail on the back. He was fun to talk to and very enthusiastic about his quilt and the process. He pixel-ed a photo of the "Last Supper" picture.  All the squares in the quilt finish at 1/2". 

Here are some more of the quilts at the show. Of course, we were so busy oohing over the quilts for me to remember to take a lot of pictures.

The wallhanging was adapted from a Kaffe Fassett quilt.

Normally I see the rope quilting done in a border treatment. It was interesting to see it used within the piecing. 

Fun bright colors on black. The lighter black was silver dots on solid black.

Just a fun contemporary piece. The little squares were a form of origami.

Wouldn't you like to be sitting on the dock at unset?? 

 The pyramid was a very interesting piecing project. What a fun way to use up some "crumbs."

The Buffalo had raw edge applique, otherwise the rest of the quilt was pieced. The squares in the border were pictures on fabric, enhanced with the quilting.

All in all, it was a fun day spent with my daughter Natalie. I did not buy any quilting fabric but did purchase a few embellishment items.

Thank you for stopping by and make sure you hop over to Patchwork Times and see what others are doing.

I think I am finally getting on a roll!!  Drum beat -- Please!!  I have finished two UFO's. Course it helps that I am going to donate them to our guild for the small quilt auction at our quilt show in two weeks. Dead lines always seem to help the process.

I finished quilting and sewing on the binding for my Pine Tree table runner. It was from a mystery class that I taught about eight years ago. I would say that it was aged to perfection and time to complete! LOL

The next UFO is an Advent wall hanging. I know that all the fabric for this and a couple of other projects from Laurel Burch fabric were purchased before she passed away. Her fabrics, especially the ones with dogs, are favorites of mine. 

Well, it looks like the Hummingbirds are gone. I am going to miss watching out my sewing room windows at all of the antics of my little buddies.

Wow!! It is so nice to be back in the black. I finally finished the Blue Ridge Beauty top and am able to report fabric used. I am very happy with how it turned out.. It will be a future wedding gift for one of the grandchildren. Thought I should start stock piling quilts for them now. It will probably be a while until I get it quilted since there are so many projects to be quilted that are hanging on my stair rail. If I don't start machine quilting some of the projects soon, I think the railing will cave in!! LOL.

Yippee!! We finally got a nice rainy day. It hadn't rained for over a month. The rain has come too late for many of the crops in the area but should help some of my flower plantings. The deer were out in full force. They evidently liked standing out in the rain.

Why is it that everyone likes to plan all their club meetings for the first week of the month? I almost felt like the school kids with so many activities this last week. Bowling also started. At least my average wasn't great. Last year I started out with high scores and went down for the rest of the season and that was a bummer!

My friend, Mary, and I had a great retreat at my daughter's house in Fargo. While daughter, Natalie, and her husband, Norman, were vacationing, I was house sitting and doing the "Chipper" watch. Chipper is their very personality dog and is a lot of entertainment.

While in Fargo I finished a top for a crib quilt and all 224 blocks for Blue Ridge Beauty (by Bonnie Hunter). Thought I would never get done sewing together all the four-patches and triangle squares for BRB. The crib quilt used part of a jelly roll of summery fabrics and white-on-white with butterflies. Decided not to put a border on it and will use the rest of the jelly roll for a scrappy binding. The pattern is Strip Twist by Bonnie Hunter. It is such a fast fun quilt pattern. 

Mary accomplished so much while we were together. She finished piecing three tops. I especially liked the block in the quilt with the dark sash hanging on the back of the chair. The bottom quilt was a "Row Robin" exchange done through our quilt guild. The sash fabric pulled it all together. (I should have gotten a whole picture of it because it turned out so great.) The quilt top Mary is holding has such a lovely dark red/brown stripe fabric between the nine-patch strips. While she was with me, we visited another shop in Moorhead, MN that was in the MN Shop Hop, The Quilted Lady Bug. This shop has expanded since I first visited it when they first opened years ago. 

Well ---  The Minnesota Shop Hop was both good and bad for me. I did a nice job of enhancing my stash. Some of the fabric I bought is dedicated to projects in the works but not all. After all a girl has to have some fun!!!!  LOL  On my way home from Fargo, ND, on the 15th, I stopped at Bay Window Quilt Shop in Perham, MN. I planned to purchase border fabrics for my Blue Ridge Beauty since I only had to purchase 1 1/3 yards and then I would have a $20.00 credit. Who can resist having a credit to use?? I found a tone-on-tone navy blue for the outer border/binding and dark tan for the inner border.

Last Sunday, my Hubby wanted to go bumming and it was such a beautiful day.  We went to Morton, MN in the southwestern part of the state. On our way home, we stopped at Gathering Friends in Bird Island. The owners of Gathering Friends are designers with a number of books and patterns on the market and they are such lovely ladies. They had expanded the store a lot since the last time I had been there and they have added a lot of lovely fabrics. I just loved these fabrics and they whispered my name. The fabrics just wanted to be petted and to be in my stash. Who could resist the "siren" call???

This last week I have been piecing Blue Ridge Beauty. Have to admit, I had wanted to get the top done so I could count all the fabric used. Then I would not be in the red!!!  Well, it just wasn't to be but hope to complete it this week. It is a lovely quilt and will be a future wedding gift for one of the grandchildren. Trying to get a lot of large quilts done and stashed for future gifts. 

Hope you all have had a good couple of weeks and thank you for stopping by!! Next time we'll have to have tea and crumpets!!  Very Big Grin!!!

The Minnesota Shop Hop is going on right now, so of course, I had to stop at a couple of new shops on my way to Fargo, ND, on Friday. For the MN Shop Hop, the state is divided up into sections. If you cover every shop in a section there usually is a prize. If you cover at least seven quilt shops in every section, you are eligible for the drawing of an Alaskan cruise. I estimate that it would be less expensive for me to pay for my own trip, then to visit all those quilt shops!! Who would be able to resist all of the goodies each of these shops will have???? LOL

My two stops were at Old Creamery Quilt Shop in Randall, and Red Pine Quilt Shop in Detroit Lakes. I have never been to either of these quilt shops before as they are new. The Old Creamery was adorable and laid out so nicely in an old creamery building. The building also has a coffee shop to help quench both hunger and thirst after feasting on all of the eye candy. Red Pine Quilt Shop is located downtown Detroit Lakes. They had a wonderful cross section of fabrics. There was something to appeal to every fabric taste. So guess what ---- I broke down and added to my stash!!!!  They had some fun Kaffe Fassett fabrics that I needed to add. I really do have some projects that they will be utilized in. That is my story and I am sticking by it!!! VBG

I arrived at my daughter Natalie's place to do the "Chipper" watch ( he is Natalies' dog) on Friday. They left Saturday morning and I set up my sewing place in the dining area and cut and sewed most of the day. It is such a lovely spot with all the windows and I am able to look out at the garden area.  My friend, Mary, will arrive sometime today to spend a few days with me for a sewing retreat. We will also go to a couple of quilt shops in the area while she is here.

Hubby is home by himself and hopefully will not get up to too much mischief!! I only spent a few days at home between Wisconsin and now North Dakota. We did go bumming together on Tuesday while I was at home.

Twins Baseball, Beet Pickles, Hummingbirds

On Sunday, August 4th, Hubby and I attended a Twins Baseball game with our daughter Brenda. She purchased the tickets as our Christmas presents and we finally were able to get our schedules together to attend the game. This was the first time my husband, Wayne, and I have attended a Twins game at the new Target Field in Minneapolis. There is not a bad seat in the house but ours was awesome. The weather was great and the Twins won against the Astros. It was even a  threed-game sweep which was even sweeter.

It was also the first time to take the train into Minneapolis. Going in was great, but coming home was standing room only and it was hot. We survived!!  LOL

On the way home, we stopped at a farmers market and I picked up 25 pounds of beets for beet pickles. So guess what I was doing on Monday.

Monday was a day spent cooking, peeling and then pickling beets. My family loves them. For quite a few years while I was working and attending school, I did not can anything. They all got very hungry for some of my pickles, especially my beet pickles. The ones in the stores just are not the same.

The jars look so pretty.

The Hummingbirds have been sucking up the nectar like crazy. Do they know something I don't???? Usually they only drink so much just before they leave for the season. Sometimes there are as many as four Hummingbirds sitting on the feeder eating at the same time. I have never seen them do that before. They are usually so busy chasing others away. Aggressive little dickens!! LOL

Since I was gone for almost a whole week, and I will be leaving the Hubby on his own again, I spent the day bumming with him. Need to spend a little time with him or he will forget what I look like!

Have a great day ---

Midwest Machine Quilters Show - Machine Quilting Today

Wow! It feels like I have been gone forever since I left in July and returned home in August. A week ago yesterday (July 29th) is when I headed down to Minneapolis to stay with my youngest daughter, Brenda, overnight. On Tuesday, July 30, my friends and I headed over to Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, for the Machine Quilting Today Quilt Show  (http://www.mqtoday.com/index.html). It is a small show but the teachers were awesome. I had classes with Dusty Farrell, Cathy Franks, Sue Patten, and others.

Cathy Franks class was on Kaleidoscope Quilting. She looks at old cut glass plates for design ideas. They would be great fill for round spaces. Below is one of her samples.

Cathy Franks Sample

I also took "Edge to Edge Elegance" with Dusty Farrell. His designs are nice and relaxed and can cover a lot of space in a hurry. He also offered design ideas for "guy" quilts. 

Dusty drawing his flame design.

Best of Show & Viewers Choice quilt was "America, Let It Shine" by Sherry Reynolds. It is an absolutely stunning quilt, but what is even better is the story behind the quilt. It is a tribute to our county and was in answer to questions by her children regarding what this country stands for. The words to the Pledge of Allegiance, the Bill of Rights, and other documents are embroidered in the quilt. Sherry is such a nice and humble person and it is wonderful the recognition this quilt has been collecting. 

An interview with Sherry is available at this site: http://www.quiltviews.com/sherry-reynolds-america-let-it-shine

 (For more pictures - http://godutchbaby.blogspot.com/2011/10/america-let-it-shine-quilt-by-sherry.html ).

While at the show we attended an auction to raise money for QOV quilts. Twelve Quilts of Valor were presented during the auction. Over $3000 was raised. Two of our group went home with items from the auction. One of the items was a pillow quilted by Sue Patten.

We all had a fun and informative time at the show and it was nice to get home on Saturday.

Well, at least I am still in the black. While at the MQToday Show in Wisconsin, my friends and I visited the local Ben Franklin Crafts store. They had wonderful fabrics and I found some that goes very well with my 30 year old fabric. (Can you tell that part of my stash is from the Stone Age??? LOL) It is sometimes very hard to find anything that even remotely looks like it will match but I found two pieces of fabric that will work very well. The fabric on the right with the white dots is what I had in my stash. I do have a project in mind, so needed more fabrics.

The Fabric Demon bit me!!!! LOL  I haven't bought a FQ Bundle in years but I did buy one this week and did a wonderful job of enhancing my stash. I received a bundle of 20 FQ's of Collage from Fat Quarter Shop this week. I really, really like fabrics with writing on them and the colors in this bundle were just too much fun. There are also coffee cups and birds with writing on them. What could be better?  Please don't ask me what I am going to do with them. Haven't a clue except to pet them and enjoy the eye candy. Some ideas will come eventually.

I have been doing some machine embroidery. Urban Threads had the neatest new design packet called Miniature Menagerie. They showed them done up into a quilt. Did I have any resistance??? NO!!! What a fun quilt it will be. There are two more designs to be embroidered plus I will need to repeat all of the blocks for a total of twelve embroidered blocks. 

Getting excited to attend the the Machine Quilting Today Show in Wisconsin. There is a group of us going. Since we don't all take the same classes, we will be able to share information learned from different classes.  I am also taking a Nolting Maintenance class. This will be very beneficial since I have a Nolting Fun Quilter and live quite a distance from any support. Not that I have had to do much except time the bobbin area. When I get back home from the show, I should be all enthused to get at the mound of machine quilting that I have to do. I think the banister can't take much more getting stacked on it!!! This will provide me with an opportunity to try out the new things that I learn.

Where is the summer going??  July is more then half over and it seems like summer just barely arrived. I do have to WHINE about the heat wave we had this last week. 95+ degrees weather just does not agree with me, especially when the humidity gets so high. Have to admit I holed up in the nicely air conditioned sewing room. 

Last weekend we went up to Fargo, North Dakota, to celebrate July birthdays for our daughter, Natalie, son-in-law, Norman, and grandson, Jacob.  We also brought something extra for grandson, Jordan, since we missed celebrating his birthday in February. Natalie was very happy with her birthday present. I order the adapter for machine needle felting. My son helped me modify an old sewing machine into a needle felting machine. It works very well and was a lot less expensive then buying a needle felting machine. The sewing machine will never be able to sew again because the whole shuttle area needed to be removed, but I think I have a significantly sufficient supply of sewing machines!!! TeeHee!!!!  (Hubby completely agrees!!!! LOL)

On Monday, we had our Sew-Sew Monday at Grubers Quilt Shop. It was a fun day sewing. Connie brought her Stars & Strings quilt from the Fall/Winter 2012 Quilt Sampler magazine. It turned out so beautifully.

On Friday, I finished piecing Hopscotch, Butterscotch quilt by Bonnie Hunter from her "Leaders & Enders" book.  My very nice hubby held the flimsie up for me to take a picture. I am very happy with how it turned out. I did have to buy the sashing fabric. Everything else came from scraps.

I am still in the black for stash enhancement. Trying very hard not to purchase unless I need it for a project. I did buy two one-half yard pieces of brown fabrics for a large quilt I am working on for our bedroom, besides the fabric for Hopscotch.

Little by little I have been sorting through stored UFO's. A few projects are being donated. Some projects that had not been started but had the fabric pulled for them have been dismantled and the fabric is going back into stash. Once things are back in the stash then I am able to know what I have and start using it. It is amazing how much a person accumulates. 

I am also considering selling my knitting machine. It hasn't been used in years and there is starting to be people interested in buying knitting machines. Sometimes it is just so hard to let go of "Stuff."  I always think I am going to want to use it sometime!! Bet no one else does that! LOL.

This is the last day of Google Reader. If you would like to keep following, please switch over to Bloglovin'.  It is always the pits when something changes, but what can we say -------  So, anyway, I sure hope you keep following along.

I did do some enhancing of the stash. They were just too good to resist. The scrap bins at the quilt shop had some lovely Kaffe fabrics, both pattern and shot cottons. There were also a couple of nice "mark making" textured fabrics. At $5 for the scrap bag, I thought they would be a wonderful addition to the rest of my Kaffe Fassett fabrics. *** Grin -- I could have gotten more in the baggy and still close it, but I resisted. Good girl!!!

I could not resist this 10 FQ bundle that was on sale either. They will be such a nice addition to my stash.

I am always short of patterned background fabrics for my scrap quilts, since I usually tend to buy tone-on-tones. These were on sale and so into the scrap bins they will go to be cut up into strips.

These were fabrics that I have had my eye on for a while. Finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase them. They weren't even on sale. The stripe will work as a coordinate to a quilt that I am making for our bedroom. ** Good justification - Yes???  I just love the movement and texture of the other piece. NO -- I do not know what I am going to use it for!!! LOL

Last Sunday, I taught an introductory class to needleturn applique'. It was such a fun class and the ladies were real sweet hearts to teach. It is always so wonderful to get people started at something they have wanted to learn. After three years of no teaching, it is so wonderful to again share some of the knowledge that I have learned through the years.

It has been a busy couple of weeks in the sewing room. For the August "Leftovers" class, I am piecing a Bonnie Hunter quilt from her Leaders & Enders book called, "Hopscotch, Butterscotch."  It is a fast and fun quilt and a great one for using all the four-patch blocks made using 2" squares as Leaders & Enders. 

There has been a lot of discussion lately about all the stash that people have when they pass away and how families have to dispose of it all. Anyway, the discussion has prompted me to take a look at all of the "stuff" that I have and do something about it. I have started emptying out  a walk-in closet that holds all the overflow from the sewing room. There is a nice size pile of fabric and stuff for the Salvation Army. I also gave one of my friends several pieces  that can be made into "Cancer Bags" for our local cancer center. I still have a lot of garment fabric and I do not sew garments anymore, so after all the aging (called old!!), it is time to go.

These blocks are from a UFO started when I first retired from a regular full-time job in 2001. They are part of a Garden Twist quilt. I finished up all of the color wash blocks (42 large blocks and 30 small blocks) this last week. The two values of blue that will surround the blocks are all cut and ready to go. This UFO has now been brought up on the list to be finished but will have to be set aside due to other projects that need to be finished first.

There are so many other UFO's in the closet to have decisions made on them. How did it get to be so much "STUFF"????.  Grin -------

It has been a while since I reported anything. The month of June just seems to have gotten away from me. Last weekend, DH and I went to Fargo to visit with my daughter and family. Saturday was a beautiful day and we were able to sit outside and enjoy a fire pit. There have been so few days that were not rainy and dreary.

On Thursday, June 13, my friend Maureen and I drove to Duluth to see the Minnesota Quilt Show. It was a great show and we did not spend a lot of money. Superior Threads is always on my list because I needed to buy threads for machine quilting. I did buy fabric and the lights to make a lighted Christmas Wall Hanging. It is such an easy small project I should be able to get it done before this next Christmas!!! 

One of the other things I bought were rotary cutting templates and instructions by Marti Michell to do pineapple blocks using my 1 1/2" strips. It will be interesting to see how they work. That way I will not have to print foundation blocks to paper piece on.

I finished a Strip Twist flimsie for "Leftovers --- NO MORE" class which will be the first scrap club class. Had hoped to get it quilted but you know how that can go.  The class for "Basics of Leftovers" went well. I had a lot of fun putting together a slide show of sewing areas and scrap bins that were a complete disaster and then how they could look after some organization was done. Cutting and organizing scrap ideas presented were some of my own that I have practiced for years, some from Bonnie Hunter, and ideas collected from some of the modern quilting groups. The students had time to start cutting scraps they had a long. The ladies seemed to enjoy the class and were seeing things from a new perspective.

This is the second Strip Twist (http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/strip-twist.html) I have done. It is just such a wonderful stash busting quilt and so fast to make. The fabrics were a very eclectic assortment. Some were from the early 1980's to current. They all just seem to work in a scrap quilt. See http://creativeb-designs.blogspot.com/2012/07/stash-report_22.html to view the Strip Twist I made for my grandson's graduation.

 Hope everyone has a great day!!

Bragging!!!

I just have to brag about my friend, Pam Goecke Dinndorf (Aardvark Quilts). Her new book, Colorific, has been released. Pam has such a unique color sense and her quilts are very distinctive. (Wow, she even mentions me under acknowledgements.)

It has been fun to watch Pam evolve over the years. When I first met her, she only had one small quilt shop pattern printed on a sheet of colored paper. Now I can walk into almost any shop that carries contemporary fabrics and see her patterns. 

Pam, Congratulations on your achievements!!!

WooHoo!  No additions and another quilt top completed. I finally was able to complete the String Diamond quilt top. This was the second one I have done in the last couple of months. The border fabric was in the stash and I am sure it was bought on sale. Usually I buy big yardages when they are on sale for future projects.  Now I just need to start up the quilting machine and get some quilting done, so I am able to count more fabric used. 

I retired from working and teaching in a quilt shop three years ago. It has been a nice hiatus! In June I have agreed to start teaching again and I have to admit, I am rather excited about it. It is always so rewarding when people learn new things and they are so excited about it. It also serves to keep me learning. Now, I just need to remember not to take on too much. After all I am retired!!!! Right!! LOL

The Hummingbirds are back. I don't know how many are now coming but it must be a lot of them. Since I can see them out the window of my sewing room, I easily get distracted just watching them. I think I will also have to put up an Oriole feeder. One was sitting on the Hummingbird feeder and being rather noisy because he couldn't get anything. I think he was a little disgusted and he was letting me know!! LOL

This week I just have to go see the new "Star Trek" movie. Guess I will have to go by myself. I did get my daughters to see the last "new" Star Trek movie and they did enjoy it with all the new young actors in it. The original series came out when my husband and I were dating. Hubby would have to wait until after Star Trek to take me out on a Friday evening. What a hoot!! It is amazing how he has been patient enough to put up with me being a "Trekkie" but I have always been interested in new technologies. In fact, it is amazing that he was patient enough to wait until after the show was done to take me out at all!! Guess I was worth it!!! TeeHee 

Hope everyone has a great day!!
