I had about 25-30 Trick or Treaters and all of them were polite with great costumes I might add.<br /><br />This weekend I worked on using up some of my fabric stash. I made two I Spy quilts. I had thought of making one huge quilt but then decided to divide the blocks and make two smaller quilts. Each is 55 inches square. <br /><br />I haven't decided if I will add border strips or not. What do you think?<br /><br />Thats all I have today.<br /><br />Sew There!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/Su7f35NRooI/AAAAAAAAAE8/YSIUYJ630og/s1600-h/my+I+spy+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/Su7f35NRooI/AAAAAAAAAE8/YSIUYJ630og/s320/my+I+spy+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399499154606105218" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/Su7f3p6usXI/AAAAAAAAAE0/kmD-0ZIQxk8/s1600-h/My+I+spy+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/Su7f3p6usXI/AAAAAAAAAE0/kmD-0ZIQxk8/s320/My+I+spy+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399499150501785970" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2440076833428687353-7289128471202904155?l=sewtherequilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14157927776574335080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440076833428687353.post-43995555462241894002009-09-18T13:41:00.002-04:002009-09-18T13:43:54.517-04:00Greetings Everyone!<br /><br />I know..I know...I've been missing for a while.

Her retirement party was this past Saturday and oh what a party it was. <br /><br />Susie LOVES the moon and everything about the Moon. In honor of her retirement I made her a Moon Goddess Quilt. The thirty stars represent her 30 years of teaching. The Moon Goddess in the middle of the quilt is Susie. The four other Moon Goddesses represent phases of her life ( I say they are her during her two marriages and her raising her two sons) The Blue and Gold represent the colors of her own (and mine too) High school as well as the schools where she taught.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/SjatKepvt2I/AAAAAAAAAEM/SWlCWhB5rtc/s1600-h/2s.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 235px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/SjatKepvt2I/AAAAAAAAAEM/SWlCWhB5rtc/s320/2s.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347652003087497058" /></a><br /><br />I got the idea from this <a href="http://www.webcon.net.au/quilts/temp2/index.html">site</a>.<br /><br />Happy Retirement, Susie!<br /><br />Sew There!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2440076833428687353-3043028176637505421?l=sewtherequilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14157927776574335080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440076833428687353.post-39611829402712739552009-06-07T10:02:00.005-04:002009-06-07T10:16:54.392-04:00Greetings Everyone!<br /><br />I can't believe it has been almost 1 month since my last post. I've been busy as a bee. Working and stuff plus that Man O'Mine and I have both been sick. <br /><br />I did get the Jeans quilt done and it has been quilted too! I used a black fabric with white stars for the backing. I sent it to a long arm quilter from my guild. She did a large meander all over. Looks nice. Now I am going to sew the binding on (not my favorite thing to do).<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/SivJjteXQfI/AAAAAAAAAD8/PcxSXZCRtT8/s1600-h/IMG_4594.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/SivJjteXQfI/AAAAAAAAAD8/PcxSXZCRtT8/s320/IMG_4594.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344586998144778738" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/SivJt2Hkz2I/AAAAAAAAAEE/zuvHc3imi94/s1600-h/IMG_4598.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/SivJt2Hkz2I/AAAAAAAAAEE/zuvHc3imi94/s320/IMG_4598.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344587172263808866" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />I found a cool video posted by Judy Laquidara.

I hope everyone has had a fantastic day doing all the things you love with those who love you!<br /><br />Last week I attended the Ricky Tims Super Seminar in Frederick MD. WOW!! It was terrific and very inspirational!<br /><br />This weekend I decided to try a Convergence quilt. What do you think?<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/Sgde2UxwEWI/AAAAAAAAADs/ppfT6qZzKbE/s1600-h/IMG_4490.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/Sgde2UxwEWI/AAAAAAAAADs/ppfT6qZzKbE/s320/IMG_4490.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334336571026968930" /></a><br /><br />Here is the center...the convergence part of the quilt.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/SgdfHWOK5pI/AAAAAAAAAD0/CN0fd6OXBmg/s1600-h/IMG_4491.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/SgdfHWOK5pI/AAAAAAAAAD0/CN0fd6OXBmg/s320/IMG_4491.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334336863472379538" /></a><br /><br />I used fabric that my friend found in the trash. It is sample fabrics either for drapes or upholstery. Not sure. It was multiple fabric swatches a little bigger than 24 inches square bound into carboard that listed its description. She found a lot of this fabric in bags of trash. She brought it to me, we removed the cardboard and washed all of it. It turned out to be right nice fabric. I enjoyed using it and making this little Convergence quilt top.<br /><br />Sew There!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2440076833428687353-1560977180984383194?l=sewtherequilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14157927776574335080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440076833428687353.post-66675972397361518252009-04-26T15:04:00.006-04:002009-04-26T15:20:02.072-04:00Greetings Everyone!<br /><br />What a lovely weekend we've had with plenty of sunshine!<br /><br />I've been cutting up jeans and have got the top of the quilt together.

I got to eat crabs for the first time this season and they were wonderful! The crabs were actually from NC but prepared the Chesapeake Bay way with Old Bay etc. I met up with friends at a little place in OC. When I decided to join them, I put together a little wall hanging for my friends.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/Sexac0eunxI/AAAAAAAAADU/gPMgcQb6yPQ/s1600-h/IMG_4359.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/Sexac0eunxI/AAAAAAAAADU/gPMgcQb6yPQ/s320/IMG_4359.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326731910442819346" /></a><br /><br />The pattern is free from <a href="http://www.mimidietrich.com/patterns">Mimi Dietrich</a>.

Totally WOW! She shared so many beautiful quilts and pieces of her work with us. She is a very talented quilter and a very interesting person. She has <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia">synesthesia </a>which I find most fascinating. She was spot on with her interpretation of many in attendance.<br /><br />One day I'd like to attend one of her classes. Meantime, I'll keep on doing what I do which is no way near the talent she shared with us.

This morning on the way to work I saw five white tail deer grazing near the roadway. They seem so tame. I stopped and rolled down the window to "chat" with them and they didn't run away. I haven't seen very many around here lately which is odd because I used to see them just about every day. It was a delight to see them again.<br /><br />Received the second step for the Quilt Along yesterday. Oh Dear! So many half square triangles! I'm going to try something different and use a grid sheet. I found them at <a href="http://www.quiltingandwhatnot.ca/Half-Square-Triangle.html">here</a>. I also have Thangles to use. I've used Thangles before but will use them again to see which method I prefer of these two.<br /><br />I did get another step of <a href="http://www.quiltville.com/">Bonnie Hunter's</a> "Old Tobacco Road" mystery quilt completed weekend before last. As you can see, the next step is to square it up and add the borders. <br /><br />Oh Dear...too many projects!<br /><br />Sew There!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/SZ1aggW5g1I/AAAAAAAAABw/eOPqCEkNeME/s1600-h/oldtobacco.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dSqWdrV76Tg/SZ1aggW5g1I/AAAAAAAAABw/eOPqCEkNeME/s200/oldtobacco.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304495450600604498" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2440076833428687353-3390704663745768377?l=sewtherequilting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bonniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14157927776574335080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440076833428687353.post-52013695614730402932009-02-18T07:46:00.002-05:002009-02-18T07:51:15.455-05:00Happy Hump Day everyone!
