Tying Knots~

I love machine embroidery. Just too cute and saves my fingers at the same time! But darn, I hate tying off those ends! My finger tips hurt!

Next time I'm going to trying a couple of stitches in place and cut the ends off, give a couple of washes and see how well it holds up. That may become My newest To-Go-To Method~

Hooo's Sleepy? ~One Monthly Goal - March Goal

I am Liking The Updated OMG Emblem A lot!

Again I will be participating in Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal March Linkup. This has actually been very encouraging as I have completed two tops ready for the LAQ so far this year!

NOW, I will be attempting to get a top completed to machine quilt myself! Yes! I am going to attempt using the home machine!

My sweet husband purchase the GO! for me. What a great gift! I played with it for a while then after a month...decided I wanted to get into making one of those cutsie Owl quilts I see everywhere! Out came the GO! cutter and waaaa-laaaa!

Aren't those owls Just Adorable!

The tree was cut free hand. And some applique words will be added to the bottom along with a couple other embellishments to pretty it up. (I must say...it is already pretty to me..wink--)I love using the machine blanket stitch for applique' so that is going to be my thing!

Here's to a March Goal! I wish to have this all sewn up, quilted and ready for gifting by the end of the month! Encouragement is Greatly Appreciated!

Antique Love! Just Add Quilts!

I shared only a hint of my past times.... My honey and I love to wander through antique shops! When we were dating, well ....that was what our dates were! We would wake early on a Sunday morning, fix us our favorite morning beverage (mine is definitely coffee!), have breakfast at a local establishment then head off with coffee in hand to the flea markets and shops! Oh so Much Fun! We picked up this gorgeous vintage wood cook stove! Yes it is in working condition and I love it! And we didn't really just pick it up... this thing is VERY HEAVY. It was dismantled and loaded and found it's way back to our home.

My intentions for it are to put it into a one room cozy cabin we want to build on our property way  back in the woods. For now, it is sitting in my kitchen.

I found some lovely blue fabric! Well, I wanted to turn it into a quilt for that cozy cabin of my dreams. See the blue trend coming here? - Then my mother in law gifted me some more beautiful blue fabric jelly rolls. It was a marriage made in heaven when I put my find and her gift together!

This became my February OMG! with Elm Street Quilts. I never really thought I would make it! Ugghgg! But this past weekend I eekeed it out and was so excited to get the applique cut out and sewn down! Woo HOO!! This gorgeous thing is ready for the LAQ!

And when I see this quilt.. .I think... Oh Hey! This will look fabulous bundled in my 1954 Chevy Bel Aire! What do you say?

National Embroidery Month!

Did you know it was National Embroidery Month! Nope, I surely didn't till just now! Who thinks these things up? Great idea!

Do you want to slow down your pace? Have some hand stitching for long car or airplane rides?

Squaring Them Up~

When I made my very first quilt, I didn't have an idea how everyone else came up with perfectly squared blocks. I just did not know! Boy were those blocks difficult to put together without any wavy curviness and holes being created!

After much studying, and reading many tutorials.... I get it! Square them Up! So that is what I'm doing today!

All of those bits peeled off the edges? Well, those are future filling for kitty and doggy bedding of course! No waste going on here!
