Forty plus years ago, my ex-wife was sewing a project and having problems with it. Not understanding why it was difficult, I sat down to the sewing machine, read the manual, the pattern, and thought I can do this. I was hooked.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08908457756535371898noreply@blogger.comBlogger22125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827731348716483556.post-36149528268928209182015-01-25T18:09:00.001-08:002015-02-02T16:19:39.862-08:00Table Runner Experiment<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">

I have wanting to learn how to free motion quilt for quite a while. According to all the books and articles I have read, practice, practice, practice is the key to learning how to do the task. Since I am in limbo between projects, I decided to put together a simple table runner and see what I can do. And so I made the table runner.<br />

I also got to practice the other skills of making the binding perfect and gluing the edges down to reduce having to use pins on the binding, which are always the death of me. I usually spend more time cussing because I have snagged my finger on another pin..<br />

This is the free motion quilting. I see the long stitches, the short stitches, the side step direction ending in a point cause I didn't know where the heck the piece was headed. I can also see I will have to move my machine from its small table to my big cutting table, so I have room to maneuver fabric.</div>

The bright orange fabric is the backing and enough left over for the binding. The binding is glued in place, so just need to sew on the decorative stitch I like.<br />

<br />
While I was working on the Roman Road Quilt, I was also toying with some left over flannel plaid pieces that I was given a few years ago. I wanted to make something with them, but nothing ever seemed right. Every few months, I would see them folded up in the fabric drawer and they kept calling out to be something..but my mind just never had a good idea for them.<br />
<br />
Since I was already working with flannel, I decided that I needed to do something with them. I cut the fabric into large squares, laid them out until I liked the pattern, and then sewed them together. It came out smaller than I wanted originally, so thought I would just make a lap quilt for the sofa.<br />
<br />
One day, while in JoAnn Fabrics, I saw a huge bright piece of red flannel and I thought that it would be perfect for the plaid material. I don't normally buy a lot of red fabric, so the amount I bought seemed overkill, but I bought it anyway. So, I went ahead and got a green flannel herringbone fabric for the backing. The even sweeter deal was that I was able to get both pieces of fabric for 50% off.<br />
<br />
When sewn together, they seemed awful bright to my eyes, but I still liked it.<br />
<br />
The blanket was now bigger than a lapsize, but for some reason, I knew I was giving to someone who would love it, so I just kept on going. Eventually I realized it was for some friends in England, so they got it for xmas 2014.<br />
<br />
Pics of the blanket and the progress to getting there..<br />

This is the finished piece ..<br />

So, I got the binding done and everything was looking good. Because I have cats..and they love to sneak onto quilts, it was necessary to put the quilt through the washer/dryer. Whoa!! Major lesson about flannel. Apparently, the flannel was not the top grain flannel I thought it might be. It shrank some more, which was okay, cause it did make the blanket a little more cozy; it did pull on the binding stitches. There was no way to undo all the stitching. It was now too tight. I ended up going back over everything and hand stitching everything in place.</div>

So, then I mailed it off to England. Had to chuckle in that it cost as much to send it to England as it did for me to have it quilted.. But the guys were worth it. ;-)</div>

I was going to give this to a particular person but changed my mind for personal reasons and decided to give this to someone else. I need to sew the blocks together but suddenly my sewing room needs to be reconfigured and the sewing is getting suspended for a few days. </div>

Here is a pic of the work so far. The design has two different names. So take your pick, "Roman Road" or "Rail Fence".<br />

A few years ago, I was given some xmas print flannel fat quarters. At the time, I had an idea for a quilt, but never got around to making it. About this time last year, another idea began to pop up in my mind. So, I made this Roman Road..or Split Rail Fence .. depending on where you are from and the name you associate to it.</div>

My nephew, Josh, requested a quilt from me 'someday', 'my choice'. He likes to sleep, veg out on the sofa, etc..so thought that a sofa throw would be what I made for him.</div>

Ok..started a new project. Lang's niece is having a baby near Xmas, so her mother asked me if I would make a crib quilt for the new baby. We worked out which pattern she wanted and she bought the fabric and sent it to me. The pattern calls for some bling pieces and she forgot to send the bling..which is fine, cause I have lots of scrap fabric...and it gives me an excuse to use up the different fabrics I have.</div>

The quilt pattern is called: Diamond in the Rough.<br />

The scrap fabric in the center will not match on the seams and the more varied the colors, the more bling it adds to the piece overall. Because I want the overall pattern to be pleasing, so have put everything up on the flannel board. I will be putting the 5 inch blocks back into a 9.5 inch block and then rearranging the colors according to the pattern I have drawn out. When the four blocks are joined together, they form a rough diamond in the middle.. :-)<br />

I have cut all the blocks into 5 inch squares. I laid out the fabric pieces on my big table, and began adding color (bling) to each of the corners. I was having so many problems remembering top from bottom and which square I wanted to make into part of a 9 inch square, that I began to label each block. Each color has nine blocks so I labeled them 1 through 9. Each big square is made up of four smaller squares, a - d. And I labeled each top so I knew which way was up. haha.</div>

I had surgery on Feb 24, 2014, and needed to take it easy. Which was okay, but I began to feel I needed to feed the addition. While I was resting, Lang decided to paint the living room and hallway. And then we finally attached the new curtain rod to the wall like it should have been done. Well, that necessitated getting new curtains. The ones we saw were of a weave pattern, but needed to have a backing. Since I had about 20 yards of white linen fabric...sure, piece of cake.. Well, I got one done before I needed to take a day or two off..then I finished the other one. They came out looking nice, so that fed that fix.</div>

The outer brown weave is what I put the panels on. The inner greenish pattern already had a backing on it.</div>

A lot of times, in your sewing bag/kit/basket, you find that when you are hand sewing something, you often want to use the same needle over again, because it is a comfortable fit to your hand, or whatever. Where to put the needle so it is handy for the next time. You carry a bit of fabric with some felt attached to it to store the needle. Felt absorbs any oils or moisture from your hands and keeps the needle from rusting.</div>

It was a basic neck scarf for a man. What I liked about it was that they have you make a small zippered bag and then see it on one end of the scarf. The bag is made from ribbed sport nylon .. I think that is the right verbage for it. Anyway it was clever. The length was 60 inches. For me, that's not long enough, but the person I made it for is small framed, so it should work. I changed my copy of the length of the pattern to 72 inches, because I think most people would find that length more suitable. </div>

Anyway, here is the one pic I took of it. Note the zippered pocket. You can wear the scarf with bag showing or reverse scarf and have bag next to your body. My friends has a large dog she walks daily, so bag could hold keys, bags for poop scoops, or whatever. </div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
So, here are some pics..</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="pastedGraphic.png" height="640" src="webkit-fake-url://0E9743A0-2CE7-4EAF-81A8-8C5DB42D4731/pastedGraphic.png" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;" width="480" /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
So here is the block design I drew up.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
The block would be 18 x 18. This is 16 x 16. The dark outer color would be the background. The Star type block would be a Main Fabric, and the blank square would be a complimentary plain fabric.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
This would be a full quilt with each of the Star blocks would be one of the blocks above. It is out of proportion, but it was suggested to me to make the quilt be outside of the borders.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
My challenge is the wings on either side. It needs to look like you are looking at the kimono from the back, and that the front is opened. So the wings should have the fabric at angles that show the 3D look. </div>

I tried a sample piece and don't see the outer wing as being angled enough. It has taken a few days of thinking, but I think I know how to change the look. So will wait til after Valentines Day to work on it.</div>

I was playing around with some templates I picked up when I was in South Dakota last July. Want to make a crib quilt and have lots of flannel sitting in the stash drawer. So thought I would make some test blocks to see how they look. I really like the look, so will go ahead and make the blanket out of them.</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
I have begun my next project. It is called a Shimacho Quilt. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">I am making a slightly smaller version than the pattern calls for. I had a stash of Asian type fabric I have been saving for a special project. This will work perfect for what I have in mind. The person getting this will like it I think.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
So..here are a few photos of the idea.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
What the finished piece should look like… I like how the borders form a negative space</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
The sample shows all the fabrics from my stash.</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
The green cloth will be the borders (in white on the pattern) and will be the full background front and back and side borders when the whole thing is done.</div>

10/27/2013</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
My bud, Martha, stopped in a few weeks ago with a request. Her family are selling their family cabin, and in the cleaning it up, they found, in the linen bin, a quilt top. They don't know who made it, but was it possible to finish it up into a complete quilt. A washing in the washing machine and dryer proved that the material was still good, so gave her the go ahead to buy the supplies needed.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
While working on it, I had many names for it..haha..with Butt Ugly being the initial name. But a friend suggested Primitive as a better name. ;-) So <b>Primitive</b> it became.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
They think the lady that may have done this was Martha's great grandmother. The quilt top is hand stitched at 7 stitches per inch. The blocks are basically 15 inch blocks. The fabrics are a blend of leftover clothing for the most part. Some could have been curtains and one looks like boxers. Though there was the IDEA of symmetry..there were mishaps. To properly bind the layers together, I sewed a line vertically and horizontally every 5 inches.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
As I told Martha, the quilter in me wanted to cut it to shreds at times, but the quilter historian part of me needed to preserve this. When I completed it out, squared it up, and got the binding on, it looked pretty good. ;-)</div>

I saw a quilt at a local quilt store..it looked interesting, I took a pic of it..and then forgot about it for a while until my brain stewed out what I wanted to do. Late last year, when I ordered the fabric for the backings for the granddaughter quilts, a mixup happened with the fabric store..and I ended up with getting a good deal on future fabric. Last February, I ordered a few 10 inch square charm packs and some 5 inch charm packs..think they have different names...but we will go with that...;-)..</div>

The design calls for topstitching a five inch square in the middle of a ten inch square, then cuttting the 10 inch square into four five inch squares. Rearrange the squares and sew them all back together in a pleasing pattern.</div>

A freiend of mine has a fabric cutting machine that is awesome to play with. He brought it over and for the next few weeks, I cut all of my stash of extra fabric into ten inch blocks and five inch blocks.</div>

I decided that I am going to make a king size quilt for our bed. It will require 144 blocks of the ten inch variety..but with blocking them down, etc, they will be 9 inch blocks. Since I had so many colors, I stewed over the combinations and have decided to work with the color wheel. I am including sections that each primary and secondary color will have a focus on the blanket and that I will use black in the center.</div>

I decided that whatever the main color of the ten inch block, I would try and put the opposite color on the color wheel as the five inch block. I also decided that the thread to topstitch with would be the color of the five inch block. ie: the green blocks have red as the center block sewn with red thread. I also decided to do the topstitch in a blanket stitch.</div>

Here is the Master Plan: </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
I divided the colors into patterns and then began matching up colors to form a ten inch block. In the pic above, the first box in the upper left corner will have black, red, yellow, blue in the block. I will be putting together 7 blocks with that color combination. </div>

I finally finished all of the smaller blocks last night. I spent the evening arranging the blocks to see how I liked them. In playing with them, I saw that putting them into color patterns would give me the most bang for my dollar, so to speak. I started out with 6 main colors for the center and black as an accent. Using the central block color as the pattern, I separated the blocks into the colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.</div>

I get nervous sending my quilts to Terri to do; not because of her, but because of the transportation to and from her. Last time I used UPS. I learned a valuable lesson of truly checking to verify the clerk has the right address on the box. It was incorrect, and luckily Terei went to the UPS office at her end after the first wrong address delivery and picked it up. This time, I used the mail system. She received it within two days. When she sent it back, it went from Vancouver to Portland, and then just disappeared. Four days later, it was checked in in San Francisco. It took about a day to get to South Seattle and less than a day to be hand delivered to my door. I was going to ask if someone put it in their car and just drove it up here, but I have it and feel wonderful to have it.</div>

I finally sewed the last thread on the king size quilt I have been making for our bed for the past year. I learned a few things in the process.</div>

1. I had Terri, the long-arm quilter leave the excess fabric on the blanket. Then, per something I read on line, I trimmed the outer edge down to one inch from the fabric edge. I sewed the binding on, putting raw edge to the line Terri sewed around the perimeter of the finished quilt. I measured out ⅜ inch from the line I sewed and trimmed the edge back to that.</div>

2. Using water soluble glue, I glued the binding down on the back side, ironing it to set the glue. Glueing it down meant that I did not have to deal with pins as I tried to sew the binding in place. The first time the quilt is washed will remove the glue from the quilt.</div>

I did this project several years ago. I went to a xmas party with my gift exchange item. i had spent a good afternoon in a garden shop looking for the right thing. The group of people at the party were pretty much garden type people, so I thought with the exchange thing that goes on, someone would like it.</div>

Wrong. The people that got it were bikers and I could see they were not happy. I had picked up a bottle of wine as my gift. After the exchange I walked up to them and offered to exchange gifts. The wine was grabbed out of my hands so fast..I didn't have time to blink. haha.</div>

So I brought home my little plant holder wire frame and thought ... hmm now what do I do with it. I am not much of an indoor plant person, so it sat around holding CD's and movies and such for a while. Then one day when I really needed something to hold items in my main bathroom. -- No medicine chest -- I saw the basket and thought..hmm, I can make a box to go inside and put the odds and ends I want in that and put it on the toilet lid.</div>

Ok..starting the new project. Daughter and family are in the process / have moved into a new home. I thought it only fitting that I should make the girls their own quilts to carry forward into their lives.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
I have picked the colors I want to work with..and with some help from their grandmother..with color hints for each of the girls... I am working on Livi's first.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
Livi's colors will be Pink, Lavendar, Red.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
The pattern is to use fat quarters, cut three shapes from each quarter: 1 - 10.5 x 10.5 inch square, 1 - 6.5 x 10.5 inch rectangle, 1- 6.5 x 17 inch rectangle. From the left over piece, I will use that in the border. Each complete square is a 16 inch block.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
Each block contains one of each of the colors.</div>

I finally finished the top for the third quilt in the series for my three granddaughters. I walked into this third one with the feeling it would never be finished..but it is. I am trying out a new long arm quilter recommended by a friend of mine. She is from Vancouver, Washington, so the tops and such had to be mailed to her to work on. And naturally, behind is my middle name...so I got them to her late..but she had them for just a week and already they are headed back..</div>

2/25/2012</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
Since I did have polio as a child, and since I do have to wear a leg brace on my left leg, I found that the device is not just a simple thing to have to deal with. My shoes have to be built special to accommodate several things so that my gait is as natural as it can be.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
Once I started wearing the brace, the biggest issues I had were:</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; margin-left: 36px; text-indent: -36px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>that the plastic of the brace made my leg sweat, </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; margin-left: 36px; text-indent: -36px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>the edges along the top would rub against my skin causing skin sores,</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; margin-left: 36px; text-indent: -36px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>the straps are velcro straps that kept cutting into my skin.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
I tried all kinds of things that were suggested to me: tall socks, leg wrappings, etc..and nothing seemed to work. Then one day when I was complaining, I made the statement that what I really needed was a sock to cover the plastic, and Lang told me to sew something that would do what I had suggested.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
So, I started thinking about what I needed, and the following is what I came up with. It works really well. The fleece absorbs any sweat and keeps my leg comfortable.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
This is a finished piece.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="pastedGraphic.png" src="webkit-fake-url://95F00989-A562-4E76-90E7-9A37EBD55C37/pastedGraphic.png" /></span> <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="pastedGraphic_1.png" src="webkit-fake-url://95F00989-A562-4E76-90E7-9A37EBD55C37/pastedGraphic_1.png" /></span> </div>

<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="pastedGraphic_2.png" src="webkit-fake-url://95F00989-A562-4E76-90E7-9A37EBD55C37/pastedGraphic_2.png" /></span> <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><img alt="pastedGraphic_3.png" src="webkit-fake-url://95F00989-A562-4E76-90E7-9A37EBD55C37/pastedGraphic_3.png" /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
To make it, I did the following:</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
1. I took strips of paper towels and taped then to the inside of the brace making sure that the paper towel was larger than the outside edges.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
2. I then took a felt pen and outlined the edges along the brace edges.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
3. I carefully pulled that out of the inside of the plastic brace and set it aside.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
4. I did mark all spots where I would have to cut holes to accommodate straps.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
5. I then did the same thing for the outside of the brace.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
6. The only concession I had to make was adding the length of fabric that would be a strap.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
7. When sewing front to back, I made sure the top and strap parts matched and then just sewed them together. Since fleece doesn't fray, cutting holes for the straps is no big deal.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="pastedGraphic_4.png" src="webkit-fake-url://95F00989-A562-4E76-90E7-9A37EBD55C37/pastedGraphic_4.png" /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
This was my first patterns. What I realized right away is the inside piece (on the left) also needed to have the strap length and width added to it along the top and to its left. I made a few practice pieces out of fleece that i had left over from a previous project. Once I had perfected how to do it, I made myself several covers. I prefer my bear one the best, but I also have a shaggy cookie monster blue one, a camoflage one, a lime green one, and one with baseball players on it playing ball. </div>

I carried it in all wrapped up in a paper bag, and once we were sat down, I pulled it out of the bag and put it on the table. Everyone loved it.</div>

I wrapped rubber bands around the heads of each bear and then around the plastic vase. I taped small candy bars on each arm of the bear. I put glass beads in the vase for weight. i wrapped a paper towel around each rose stem, put them in a plastic bag with a little water, taped them shut and put them in the vase.</div>

I am sitting here sipping my morning coffee, and it occurred to me that I really am quite excited about this quilt being almost done. There is a light over the rainbow showing. That is such an exciting time. What crossed my mind this morning was how I felt years ago, in the 80's, when I entered a cross-stitch piece I had completed in the County Fair. I ended up with a Third (may have been fourth .. cause I think Pink is fourth) Place Ribbon for my work, which was exciting all by itself. The funniest part of the whole thing was when I was entering it to be shown and judged. I filled out all of the paperwork, talked to all the people, signed all of the waivers and etc's, I then had to hand over the framed piece I had done. I had the piece in my hand, I handed the piece to the lady, She grasped the one side to take and pulled slightly like she was going to take it. My hands would not let go of the frame. She tugged two or three times. She finally said, "Honey, I know it's hard to part with it, but you have to let go." I was so embarrassed. I told her, "I'm trying, but my hands won't respond." We both just looked at each other, chuckled, and then my hands let go. And then I felt as if I had abandoned it to the forces of nature and God knows what. And that is how I feel every time I make something and then give it away.</div>

Well, I have started getting the bias tape ready to put on the bear quilt. May work on it tonight, but need to finish up the detail work on the rainbow blanket first. A friend..the one in the pic helping me hold up the bear quilt below...has an embroidery machine and working with him, he embroidered my daughters family names on the blanket I made for them . It is to be a floor blanket or couch blanket for the kids when they are watching tv or such. I wanted the fake fur and the backing to be attached so I asked him what it would be like to embroider their names..and he played with it, came back and said it could be done. He did an amazing job of it too..very pleased. Now, I need to trim threads and remove some of the paper interfacing he used...and then it is ready to wrap.. Will include a couple of pics..of work in progress...remember it is a bright rainbow..haha..</div>

Tip for the day Sometimes..things happen and you just want to slap yourself upside the head cause it took you so long to figure it out. In the process of changing a needle out on the sewing machine that broke, it occurred to me that it always worries me what to do with the bad needle. Being a diabetic taking insulin, part of the process is disposing of the used needles. At the time, following doctor instructions, I went to the local pharmacy, and for a mere 5 dollars, I purchased the bright red small plastic bucket with the lid that says danger all over it, to dispose of my needles. And as part of the deal, you save the box it came in, along with the label, and mail it in to a company that disposes of the needles as part of the service of buying the container. You may own the container for twenty years or for a year...but just knowing you have a place to put the pin and needles and other sharp objects you use in your projects and knowing that you can dispose of them if you have too, and no one should get hurt in the process.</div>

I saw this tip in a sewing tips book years ago. Thank you to whoever published the tip. I am forever doing three or four projects during a time frame..and being able to put little notes or things that jog my memory on the project helps a lot.</div>

Sometime back in the '80's, I had heard of a 'Quilt Show' happening in a small town truly out in the middle of the Toolies.. so I went to it. Finding the town was probably more exciting for me than the actual show..except for one quilt. It was a crib blanket. As I was walking around looking at the quilts on display and trying to understand how some real 'shoddy looking' pieces received a ribbon..I spotted this white blanket at the very back of the room ... with no ribbons on it.. I was intrigued to go look at it, because it was white. No other color. Nothing that would draw you to it..except that it stood out amongst the gaudiness and terrible examples of quilting.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
When I got to the blanket, I saw that it was totally hand stitched in white thread. The owner had done a meandering stitch and as I looked at it, I could see that she had maintained an almost even quarter inch space between the rows of stitch. What blew me away was that she had sewn 9 stitches to the inch throughout the blanket. My mind was reeling. I had taken hand stitching classes and was proud that I could do 5 stitches to an inch; and this one had 9.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
I found myself examining it in quite a bit of detail. I was totally impressed with everything about it. I was so caught up in the blanket that one of the ladies from the show came over to see what was capturing my eye. In chatting with her, I asked her why this piece hadn't received any ribbons, because I couldn't believe that the ones that received the ribbons were better than this piece. (Keep in mind, I was still young and tactless.) She asked if I had any questions about the blanket and I told her that I would love to talk to the person that made this piece to ask some questions about how they did certain things. She admitted to being the maker of the quilt. So we chatted for a good half hour.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 16px;">
My conversation with her taught me quite a few things. She showed me several tips for sewing: from not knotting the thread when sewing, how to do cross-stitch without leaving the visible line of stopping and starting, holding the needle when 'in and outing' for running stitches, and etc...etc...etc..</div>

I had to make the wiener dog water bottle carrier. So cute. I am making two, one for each of my granddaughters, Tori and Livi, Since they are for younger kids, I didn't think older sister Jaci would want one. I will have to come up with something special for her. Livi's is purple and Tori's will be Teal.</div>

Back in the 90's, I was determined to make the most awesome quilt of all time..haha. I started it and worked it..and then the relationship I was in went south...way south..and the blanket got set aside as I had to move, etc...and over the years, I pull it out, look at it..and then put it away again..</div>

It is a King Size blanket. Made of flannel. Pattern is Steeple Steps. I did fussy cut a 7 inch square for each of the blocks. I used about 2.5 yds of fabric to fussy cut all of the houses I needed for this.</div>

<br />
He showed me a banner that he had and was wondering if I could make him a quilt along the lines of the banner. I told him I would think about it...and probably do it. It took me five years...sigh..but I did finish it. Listed are the various posts and pictures I took from this project.<br />

Well, good intentions and all..go no where if I don't get off my butt and do posts or share information. After 5 years of planning and drawing out ideas and buying fabric and sewing and getting torqued and starting over, I finished the top of a quilt I was asked to make for a friend. I spent three years in the phase one part of planning, buying fabric, cutting it out, trying to put it together; only to be unhappy with the results and start over. I finally got serious about it two years ago..and still was tearing it apart every time I turned around. Finally two months ago, it seemed perfect and I just started sewing. Yesterday, I finished the top. Now I need to contact the quilter so I can schedule a time for her to do it on her long arm. The blanket will be for a King Size Bed. The quilt will go to the floor on three sides. The man I am making this for is a retired Navy Captain and a lover of all things Bear. I showed up at his house a few months ago and told him I needed to lay the panels out on his bed to make sure they would fit. He loved what he saw. Told me that with exception of Polar Bear, all the Bear colors were present. Anyway, here is the top.</div>

Very excited today. I spoke with the lady that will be doing the quilting for the Bear Quilt. We meet Friday to discuss the how to's and etc. Just so exciting watching a project come to completion. I was thinking last night about some of the other projects I have done over the years and thought I should post some things on them. I have a baby quilt I made that I made from 20 fat quarters. Was actually quite fun to make. When I have tried to explain it, it sounds complicated, but really is so easy to do. I will sit down, write out the instructions and maybe even make a drawing or two and put it up here.</div>

Out of the upper regions of my brain floats a fog...and out of the fog, stuff drops. And if I am very lucky, I manage to grab some of the floating stuff before it hits the ground and it becomes a floating thing, an idea, a modified floating thing, working toward concrete and then one day I put it to paper to see if it has merit and then eventually it turns out to be something you touch and feel. Such is how it goes...</div>

and if you look at the finished quilt, you will see the frame around the bear carried forward, the green background and in the stitching, the leaf pattern and in some cases the pine cone. I had the bear pattern inserted in the border above and below the bear. </div>

I seem to be in slow mode as the year is beginning. I had totally hoped to have the Bear Quilt finished, but I am caught up in watching TV in the evenings and hand sewing the binding around the quilt. I have to get myself prepared when I sit down so that I am relaxed and the stitches will stay the same from sitting to sitting.</div>

Doing so many things and trying to get them all done soon, so I can get some sanity back.</div>

First off, I decided my hand sewing on the binding sucked. So I ripped it all out and started over. Finally got it all pinned and going to finish it up tomorrow..</div>

I hand basted the binding in place, but have found that the new clips I received as a christmas gift work very well at keeping the fabric in place as I move down the fabric. I always find it amazing at what your mind can do when you are a sewing addict and you see tools meant for other jobs and how they just seem to fit into the sewing world. My favorite tool when I am trying to hand flatten seams, or to push out a point after turning it inside out..is a tool used by pottery people to shape their work on the turnstile. It has a really nice point on it, a slightly dull but still sharp edge to flatten seams, and a nice thumb indent to not lose your grip as you are manhandling fabric. In my stash of things is a pair of chopsticks. I use those to reach into long openings to push corners out.</div>

I tried to update the old one and found it to be too difficult.<br />
<br />
So in the weeks to follow, I will gather the information on the old Blog and put it into this blog. In the old blog, I would comment on what I was doing, show pictures, and move forward. So, a particular project might be spread out across several pages without being linked to one another. It is frustrating to find all the information of pics and comments easily across the site. <br />
<br />
With this blog, I will put all comments and pics in one folder for each project. I will just update and post a date in the body of the section so that it is an easy read.<br />
<br />
The old site is: http://bob-stufftoponder.blogspot.com<br />
