My first custom order is finished! It's based on this miniature quilt. I used the flower templates but enlarged them to make it baby sized. It is beautiful - I'll bombard you with an abundance of pictures! Lots and lots of blanket stitch - done by machine Two birds having a conversation I free motioned the details on the butterflies and birds I first quilted around everything to make it pop and then quilted the whole background with a small loopy meander Fun striped binding And the soft flannel back with a bit of piecing I did a double layer of the white (not flannel) so that you can't see through. So long, beautiful, spring, baby girl, quilt! I hope you're loved in your new home - it's hard to give you up! Linking up to Finish it up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts

FOREST FRIENDS: HIDE & SEEK animal applique quilt by Pamalama Jo Designs is a value-packed pattern with 12 animals plus border motifs and easy, step-by-step directions for two quilt layout and size variations. Our family's love of the forest and the coming of my first grandson inspired these designs. Many favorite woodland animals are included - Bear, Rabbit, Owl, Fawn, Raccoon and more! My unique animal patterns can also be used on their own to make pillows, T shirts, tote bags, etc. Or shrink the patterns to embellish clothing or trace for embroidery. Stash-busting string blocks form the setting frames and create the forest hideouts. If you think applique is too difficult or time-consuming, or if you worry it's not durable enough for repeated washing, you should try the fusible, machine finished technique I teach in this pattern. Come and play with some forest friends today! SIZING / FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Toddler/Youth Bed or Throw is 60" x 72" and Crib is 42" x 42". WHAT YOU GET - - 12 full-size animal patterns: Bear, Bluejay, Butterfly/Flower, Fawn, Fox, Opossum, Owl, Rabbit, Raccoon, Skunk, Squirrel and Toad. You also get the leaves and mushrooms border motif. - Each applique pattern has two pages, giving both the finished design and a reversed and exploded pattern for use with fusible adhesive or freezer paper applique methods. - Detailed cutting instructions for two different quilt sizes and layouts. - Easy step-by-step directions with illustrations for making the string blocks to create the frames for animals. - Simple fusible (raw edge) applique directions, written with a beginner in mind. (Of course another applique method of your choice can be used.) - Instructions for finishing the quilt. SKILL LEVEL: BASIC - I've written the instructions with an applique beginner in mind. Basic sewing and quilting skills are all you need to tackle this cute quilt! Please note: I only ship to North America. Purchase a PDF version of this pattern and you can download it immediately upon payment.

Aren't these the cutest little pandas? The b & w border fabric is minkee - sooo soft!!! Pattern is Peekaboo Panda by Pastime Pieces (www.pastimepieces.com) The background was quilted with bamboo. The minkee was used as the backing, as well as the border. Little poofs of it pulled through to the front, so there are lots of tiny black dots which hopefully will disappear after it is laundered. Busy me!!! Forty cups of chopped roma tomatoes. From my garden. New Fruit & Vegetable Strainer Attachment for my Kitchenaid stand mixer. From Amazon.ca. $112.00. It comes with the grinder (which will do meat, too) and the food strainer thingy. Chopped tomatoes go in the top. Which, being the awesome photographer that I am, I cut off in the picture. Yay me. Anyhow... juice and pulp come out the bottom left and go into the juice jug, and the ick (seeds & skins) come out the right hand side just like little turds, and fall into the bowl for disposal. Hmm. Cleanup crew. Seven hours later = 24 cups of seasoned Italian Tomato Sauce. If you've been following the news lately you know that every person will THROW AWAY approximately 250 pounds of food per year. Lemme tell you - when you spend this much effort and money to make 12 jars of tomato sauce you do not throw it out. Now, back to the beginning of my post. Why did I need cheering up? Well, the well has not improved. Dirty water. I don't know if it is full of silt, or just the regular hard minerals & iron, but it is DIRTY. We have a cistern on order and hopefully a guy with a digger will come next week to make a very large hole in our front yard. I am thinking that I must have done something to piss off the Universe 'cause it has been ONE OF THOSE YEARS. broken arm. Ouch. new pickup truck (can you say $$$$ ?) Mom's broken hip. Not that it hurt me, but I'm the only one who can take her to the hospital appointments. broken air conditioning in my car (more $$$) fried the motor in my quilting machine for the second time in 8 months decided to trade in the quilting machine for the next model up. Now proud owner of Floyd v2.0, a Nolting Pro. Which should not burn out motors. (can you say MORE $$$ ?) now, a muddy well. And lots more $$$$'s. Oh, and don't forget the $$$'s we need so we can attend our niece's wedding in Bali next year. Um, yes, Bali is in Indonesia. On the other side of the world.

This little bunny is bouncing with joy over her fabulous carrot. Maybe she can make carrot stew for supper tonight! You could use this 7" by 7" square block as part of a baby quilt, whimsical forest animal quilt, or a "busy book" for a toddler. Just use your imagination! The 3-page printable child's quilt pattern includes ready-to-use individual pieces and a full-sized applique layout guide, along with instructions for creating your own beautiful bunny.

Работу над этим проектом мы начали давно. Он задумывался как долгоиграющий. Предполагалось, делать по блоку чуть ли не каждый месяц, по крайней мере хотя бы один в 3, т.е. чтобы он соответствовал текущему времени года. Но как-то не получилось, то одно, то другое, пришлось прерываться на другие более важные в то время проекты. Но несколько блоков были отшиты, нужно было продолжать. И мы подумали, что одна из "вечных" тем в лоскутном шитье, времена года, отлично подходит к теме нашего лоскутного фестиваля "Благодарность", работа возобновилась. В проекте участвовали Ведяева Н.Б., Голева А.М., Кузьмина И.Ю., Суранова Л.А., Хоменко М. Каждая участница отшила по 4 блока 20смх20см соответствующие временам года. А я занималась руководящей, художественной и собирательной стороной работы. В маленьких блоках мы старались показать то, за что мы любим зиму, весну, лето и осень Зима. Конечно же это снег, снежинки, каждая неповторима в своём совершенстве. Блоки снежинок нашли в интернете, шили по бумаге. Весна. Первые цветы, маленькие, трогательные, нежные. Почти все блоки я отрисовала сама, шили по бумаге. Лето. Прежде всего это вкус, вкус ягод и фруктов, именно тех, что растут у нас в Сибири. Все блоки нарисовала сама. Техника ручная потайная аппликация с элементами вышивки. Осень. Конечно же, это осенние листья, красные, жёлтые, разноцветные. Эти блоки отшивали в традиционных техниках, квадратики, треугольники, "избы". Когда все блоки были отшиты, встал вопрос, как их соединять между собой. Были разные варианты, в том числе такой, сделать несколько панно, у каждой участницы свои времена года. Но всё-таки решили соединить все вместе в одну большую работу. А как это сделать? Хотелось, чтобы получилось не как обычно. Я предложила использовать мои любимые йо-йо. Их укрепили плотным фетром. Нижний край панно украсили "висюльками". А это фото с фестиваля, фотограф Юлия Бернухова. Панно получилось не очень большое, может быть немного банальное, но всё-таки милое, нежное и красивое, как мне кажется. Спасибо всем участницам за ваша работу!)))
