Not only is it Friday, but tonight kicks off the Quilter's Take Manhattan events in NYC organized by the Alliance for American Quilts. I don't know exactly what to expect, but my friend and talented quilter Jackie Kunkel is moderating tonight's discussion and tomorrow's event features Marianne Fons, Jay McCarroll (Proj Runway winner), Mark Lipinski and I believe Mary Fons as well. Time will tell! If you want details go to http://www.allianceforamericanquilts.org/support/events.php . OK, so back to my salute to creative CA quilt store owners. Store #2 receives my award for "Store with Best Sense of Humor" goes to The Sew N Sew in Glendora, CA for this sign: The store itself offers quite a lot of fabric choices - they've got great space which is larger than it appears when you first walk in (the picture above is only one set of windows - the store is on the right as well). Very nice mix of fabrics, tons of tools, long arm capabilities and it looks like they have a lot of fun class offerings. Their website is www.sewnsew.rdswebsites.com.

I’m back, and I'm betting you thought I fell off the face of the earth. Well, not quite, but my computer crashed and I felt like I pretty much had. It was only supposed to be a couple of days... Apparently I have become a slave to technology! Over a week without a computer...well, is just cruel and unusual punishment. LOL!! I've been dying to tell you just how much this “artsy fartsy” theme has really grabbed in attention this month. This time, I’m sharing a summertime favorite... This is "Lets Picnic" from "Applique Garden" Every good picnic should have all these goodies, don't you agree? LOL!!! This months challenge is sponsored by "Aurifil " thread. We want to show you just what you can do with the different weight of threads. This photo is a great place to start. A 40, 50 or 80 weight is perfect for stitching down appliques, when you don't want the thread to be the center of attention. The higher the number the finer the thread. When I want the details to pop, I use a 28 weight, Example: the sesame seeds on the hamburger bun and the lines on the onion. (you know, every hamburger needs onion) ;-) Or the froth lines in the whip cream on the shake above. The pickle details are also done in a 28 weight. Don't you love how the colors in these "Island Batik" fabrics pop. These corner appliques are compliments of my Accuquilt GO cutter and dies. Just a little way to add some additional pop to things, and make a project "yours" "Aurifil" floss...is a perfect way to attach the buttons. I love the fact, that "Aurifil" thread has such a wide variety of weights, in so many colors. I used a Hobbs wool batting, for a fun dimensional look. I love the loft it has and how it makes my appliques pop off the background. Here's a little eye candy for you. Makes your heart go pitty-pat doesn't it? Oh, how I "LOVE" the wooden spools their floss is wrapped on. Such a fun, retro feel! :-) A big thank you to and Our fabulous industry partners. And of course I hope I've inspired you add a little "Artsy Fartsy" into your life. til next time... Keep on Stitchin'

The Magnificent Minis are the first project of the season for Island Batik Ambassadors. Our challenge is create a miniature quilt smaller than 24” X 24” using an technique and any of the fabulous fabrics they have sent us this season.

I was watching a Daytime TV show yesterday while in the nail salon, and they had a cute little skit called ‘Manslation’. Sure, they were using it for dating advice – but I thought… Hey, wouldn’t this be fun if we put a sewing spin on it?!! So I went home and asked my husband […]

Definitely over-blogging on my funky Bird Quilt, however this is all I have been working on in the last week while on leave. This is how far I got The circles are probably the hardest part to get exactly into the two echo lines...a bit of a headache at times as my piecing is not that great. The block should be exactly 8in, but of course, it is not, hence to fit 8 circles in an orderly way into the sashing is a bit of a challenge. I ended up not only drawing a centre line but also marked every 1in spot to get a sense of when I was out. Sometimes then I did a bit of a side step with the needle and made them slightly overlap to hit the next mark properly. Definitely some patience required! Also did some more ditch quilting inside the 'foot' shape (the part that I missed before), so that the area was not puffing out. Stitched this with invisible thread first and then followed my stitching path diagram with the white thread. So a bit of extra work. For the bird background I chose simple swirls...had a laugh at myself as they all look a bit different...found it hard to work out how to exactly swirl around the bird as there was not a lot of room on the sides, so a lot of improvisation going on. Never mind, looks great! Initially I was also going to take the circles into the very small border to mirror the sashings. However, again the accuracy is slightly out and I would not be able to achieve a 1/4in echo on both sides, so I will probably just do lines in there to finish it off. Well, I must say, this is most enjoyable...learning heaps about the rulers and also about the Sweet 16, i.e. which foot to use when, how to use the invisible thread and what speed works best for what part. Next time maybe I should go for a different colour thread. Have the hardest time seeing the white thread on the white background. Great for hiding those little glitches, but not great for the eyes.
