A whole week has gone by and it has been busy, busy, busy. May 1st and I got up to see a light dusting of snow on the ground! Will it ever end? <br />
<br />
I'm going to finish the fat quarter quilt top today. Here is the progress I have made so far.<br />

Then when I get this and the majestic mountains rows sewn together, I get to start two new projects with these lovelies:<br />

Stay tuned to see what they are. Don't you just love color? I have two colorblind sons and some grandsons too. I feel like that would be such a dull, depressing world to live in. Maybe different shades of gray are beautiful to them.<br />

After Friday's class, I was excited to make a sample for another class. Its work to prepare for and teach quilt classes, but so worth it. I decide on another quilt from the same book, so I chose the one on the back cover and I will do it in Christmas colors. Hopefully I can teach it in July and quilters (including me) can have plenty of time to finish one or more by December.<br />

I bought the fabric and got it all cut.<br />

I sewed strip sets and subcut them. Now, have you ever watched Bonnie Hunter's Quilt Cam? She sits and sews on a live video about once a week and you can sit and sew along with her. Find her on quiltville.blogspot.com or subscribe on YouTube. It lasts for about an hour and a half. I was not able to watch it all last night, so I turned it on this morning and look at all I got done on this Verry Merry quilt top.<br />

Piles of four patches! Its sew much fun, like having a friend over for a sewing day, only you don't have to clean house first. HaHa. Anyway, you should try it. <br />
<br />
And look at this--the first flower of spring from my yard!<br />

Sunshine and flowers are the best. Now I really do need to go do some housework. <br />

Did you see it? Our Scrap along club photos from the 13th were on quiltville.blogspot.com last Friday. I was so excited. Bonnie Hunter is amazing. She is one of the busiest quilt teachers I have ever heard of. <br />
<br />
Thanks to the ladies who came to my Piece a Cake class Friday evening. Sorry I didn't get any pictures, but we got a lot done and I know your quilts will be gorgeous.<br />
<br />
I'm finishing some binding, then I hope to finish my second Mountain Majesties top today.<br />

Its hard to believe we were signing up to bring food to our closing social in a couple of weeks. Oh well, time flies when you're having fun. Anyway, I didn't feel like taking my sewing machine and all the "stuff", so I just took this project bag of English paper piecing.<br />
<br />

I'm planning a very traditional star quilt made with 1800's fabrics. If you look at it differently it is a tumbling block.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Danielle, who was sitting by me was interested in what I was doing, so I let her stitch on it and she got very excited. I sent her home with some diamond papers and an internet address where she can print her own. She will probably have a whole quilt finished in a few weeks. Mine might take years. I'm so glad I could show her something new. That's part of the joy of quilting. FYI, the place where I print EPP papers is incompetec.com. I have also bought some at Suppose and at busyfingerspatchwork.com.<br />
<br />
Now for a day of binding. You have a great quilty day too. <br />

Everyone finished at least one block before they went home. Kathy, who is showing a red and white block, and Jo, who is standing by her four blocks on the design wall, are the mother and daughter who own Suppose. Shelley, who is showing a row of gray and blue blocks, works at Suppose. She started her blocks at home last week. The last photo is of Jennifer, my daughter. What a lot of fun we had learning, sewing and visiting.<br />
<br />
Monday morning I taught the Quilters Anonymous guild how to make a Disappearing Nine Patch. It was just like Saturday. Everyone worked hard and took at least one finished block home. Aren't they all great?<br />

Today I haven't had much sewing time. I have been babysitting this darling granddaughter. What a good time we are having. Now if only the snow would stop, and spring would return.<br />

I was sewing half square triangles this morning and I noticed something.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn_Spy2GnqjRUdWdsLKOGfxkOdbQCX9IPix0Bpq_ef5OkD3zjB88SlRks0KXVaq1y5r8PD8s2TobgdNjP0ZExzvAshwAdssbioIUiNkbVhbNyP0Vq_GI0ad4h5sG0iWifBoHi_5v9hLTk/s1600/triangle+oops-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn_Spy2GnqjRUdWdsLKOGfxkOdbQCX9IPix0Bpq_ef5OkD3zjB88SlRks0KXVaq1y5r8PD8s2TobgdNjP0ZExzvAshwAdssbioIUiNkbVhbNyP0Vq_GI0ad4h5sG0iWifBoHi_5v9hLTk/s320/triangle+oops-1.jpg" /></a><br />
Can you see how at the end, my sewing line went toward the left? I resewed the line and sure enough, it was off. I will have to be more careful to slow down at the end or use a stylus or both. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh105WjK-tdUL3OfuemPwOQQytsGg-OMNUwg-yJe6OufYfvOkL0A-nTjtWprIrzeI1o9jZHRXWkkOQg7oX6OfZ8OqB9StLRdKBMXIjFc50F8nbTmDqEAWTyCKzf8TZjlJQnGofz7ArdS8E/s1600/Scrappuytriangles.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh105WjK-tdUL3OfuemPwOQQytsGg-OMNUwg-yJe6OufYfvOkL0A-nTjtWprIrzeI1o9jZHRXWkkOQg7oX6OfZ8OqB9StLRdKBMXIjFc50F8nbTmDqEAWTyCKzf8TZjlJQnGofz7ArdS8E/s320/Scrappuytriangles.jpg" /></a><br />
This is the scrappy triangles top. I got it done yesterday. I wasn't sure if I liked the background fabric after I started cutting, but I think it looks good. This quilt makes me feel like spring. <br />
<br />
Here is my pile of 1 1/2" strips. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTuVo0WlASbE3eMTjqRy9ZFrxihPfuTjl8PBV0WcDTY9DrHeJIuyJm8Q8A9-dGh8kkXxgoifvLOAzdf4HlGdqocrf_83gE_NTHjdHv-pYPbQ-sjxU3nTfpUM1YxEnLXzTKtKUBZLS_taE/s1600/strips.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTuVo0WlASbE3eMTjqRy9ZFrxihPfuTjl8PBV0WcDTY9DrHeJIuyJm8Q8A9-dGh8kkXxgoifvLOAzdf4HlGdqocrf_83gE_NTHjdHv-pYPbQ-sjxU3nTfpUM1YxEnLXzTKtKUBZLS_taE/s320/strips.jpg" /></a><br />
I was making 3 1/2" nine patches with them. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOaDfteBGh4Rgb8PWNck4ur9jyuPlDvS-uI8igAXG4lKtO9DmvDimTRXCYEXDQIm7Jomg_CHwNYV0s0HisLxubjJ97JFa3WbFfEdZAXOKYkBTR96tn_i10uYOCDUoIsCyVqXpr2xKxaHg/s1600/Play.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOaDfteBGh4Rgb8PWNck4ur9jyuPlDvS-uI8igAXG4lKtO9DmvDimTRXCYEXDQIm7Jomg_CHwNYV0s0HisLxubjJ97JFa3WbFfEdZAXOKYkBTR96tn_i10uYOCDUoIsCyVqXpr2xKxaHg/s320/Play.jpg" /></a><br />
What to do with all those nine patches? I don't know yet. But they will be ready when I find a use for them. This was my play time.<br />
<br />
Tonight is Sit and Stitch. Its always fun.<br />

This is my finished WIP for last week. It is only a small one, but I pat myself on the back anyway. Now on to other things this week. <br />
<br />
I want to get the scrap along triangle top done because scrap club is Saturday and I don't want to get behind on these projects. Scrap quilting is so fun. Oh, wait, did I say that before? Well, it is double fun. This is the sample of the one I am teaching Saturday. <br />
<br />

</div>I am almost there. The table runner is ready to bind, then I will have my finish for this week. Wednesday Sit and Stitch night was just what I needed after a day at work. Thats because of the sit part. I started a new small counted cross stitch project from an antique pattern I found online.<br />
<br />
Thursday night's Suppose guild meeting was amazing. We had a trunk show by Emily Herrick of Crazy Old Ladies. Her quilts were gorgeous and she was lots of fun. I am always blown away by how much women like her accomplish. It gives us all enthusiasm for the quilting we love. <br />
<br />
Today I am off to get my taxes done and do other errands, so I will only have a little sewing time, but I will love every minute of it.<br />
<br />
My friend, Deonn has a new website at Quiltscapes.com. Congratulations. You are one of those amazing quilting ladies.<br />
<br />
Stay happy and keep quilting.<br />

</div>Alright! It felt good to get a lot done toward my goal. After a good breakfast, of course. Look what Jennifer made.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdofIFUY5JhxEpAfJOlWR9XfJX5iYmVqlYvYeTyyYN0qzLjq0ay2eYa4n2FxymArhISKo8MB9zptn0f7L38marrtVe6oghW-w2BuqLUU-o3OcUVLI1CHA2e4PpGRIXFv65wYjzreoU0OI/s1600/Breakfast.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdofIFUY5JhxEpAfJOlWR9XfJX5iYmVqlYvYeTyyYN0qzLjq0ay2eYa4n2FxymArhISKo8MB9zptn0f7L38marrtVe6oghW-w2BuqLUU-o3OcUVLI1CHA2e4PpGRIXFv65wYjzreoU0OI/s320/Breakfast.jpg" /></a><br />
I worked on the triangles I showed yesterday and I have 8 rows of 25 sewn together. I hope that is about half. I also got rows of the Scrappy Mountain Majesties sewn together, but I think I underestimated how many I will need. I only want this to be throw size. I've started a Twister quilt for Quilters Anonymous guild. It is HUGE. I'm just kind of making up my own pattern. Here is one block of twenty. I am using an "Origins" layer cake I have had for a couple of years. The yellow is what I plan to use for sashing.<br />

<br />
This is a small table runner I made last week at Suppose guild sewing, because I left my project at home and had to buy something to work on there. I have it ready to quilt. I want this to be my finish for this week. The binding is ready too.<br />

Here is a book I am loving. I took time to play a little last evening. On the left of the book, you can see my made fabric. And below are some 3 1/2" nine patches I made from my 1 1/2" strips. You know the saying about all work and no play.<br />

<br />
I really would like to dig in and get a lot more done today, but I have to work at Suppose at eleven and after I get off at 5, I will be heading to Logan for stitch night at Embroidery Central. It always is relaxing and fun to stitch with friends. <br />
<br />
Keep quilting and stay happy.<br />

I will finish one WIP this week and share it with you and I am going to blog again. Here is a scrappy WIP. I am loving scrap quilting right now. We have a new Scrap-Along Club at Suppose Quilt Boutique and it is my turn to demo a project April 13. Stand by for pics. Meantime check out Bonnie Hunter's blog at Quiltville.com. Its so fun. Here is a peek at last month's scrap project. I will get it done!<br />

I have been working hard to get some things finished. Here is my Stash Bee Quilt from June. Its fun to see what everyone sends, but these quilts are always a little difficult to sew together because not everyone sews the same. <br />

This is the doll quilt I am starting for October. My partner and I decided not to do Halloween, but instead go with a fall theme. I hope to get this one done long before the end of the month.<br />

I'm so close to having my postage stamp quilt top done. I hope to show it to you soon. I also am almost finished with the Graphic Mixx Sampler. Then I will have to get busy quilting. <br />
<br />
Here is the Quilt Label CD that has 13 of my designs. Also these are my original sketches. I was so excited to get it. You can order it from C&T Publishing or ask Suppose to get it in for you. <br />

Guilding has started for another year. It is so good to meet with quilting friends again. I must go sew, sew, sew.<br />

Stay Happy and keep Quilting.<br />

It feels so good. This is a round robin a group or us did at Sit-n-Stitch night at Embroidery Central. <br />
<br />

Each person did the first line, the last line and the background design on their own. They were passed around every week and a different person did each of the other lines. I did not specify colors I wanted on my piece. I also did not say there was any color I did not want. I think it turned out gorgeous. Now I get to work on some other projects that have been waiting in line. <br />
<br />
Keep quilting and stay happy.<br />

How fun. I know Margaret through Doll Quilters Monthly. We have already sent each other little quilts. You should check out this swap by clicking on the button on the right. It is a fun group to belong to and new members are always welcome. One tiny quilt a month is a fun project because it gives me a chance to practice skills or try new things, send and receive gifts in the mail and make a lot of new quilting friends. What more could a quilter want?<br />
<br />
Coming soon-- a look at cross stitching projects and a quilt or two in progress.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all entrants for visiting mamabill and come back soon.<br />
<br />
Keep quilting and stay happy.<br />

The book will give you a laugh when you see how your grandma did her sewing. I am sending a kit and pattern so you can make your own Little Wallet and I'm sure you can come up with a fun project for the charm pack. <br />
<br />
All you have to do is leave me a comment and tell me one fun thing you will remember about this summer. Tell your friends about this give away because "the more, the merrier". I will pick a winner on August 30. Good luck to all my sweet followers. Quilters are the nicest people.<br />
<br />
One more fun thing. If you click on the postage stamp quilt button on the right and decide you would like to start one of your own, let me know and I will send you some 2" charms to help you get started. <br />
<br />

I feel like celebrating by having a giveaway. I think I know just what I want to send to a lucky winner. Check back tomorrow for the rules and a peek at the prize. I need to go to the store today and get it.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I had such a good sewing day. I made a Little Wallet because I have been putting it off for so long. I put velcro on the flap and two of the pockets so my wallet can hold "valuables". Now I want to make many more.<br />

1,250 two-inch charms ready to swap (plus I cut 100 for me). My postage stamp quilt is coming along too. This is about half of what I have done:<br />

<br />
Stay tuned for more. I promise to do better. Since I have been blogging for a year, I am trying to think up a way to celebrate. Any ideas? A give-away maybe?<br />

Yesterday through July 22 you can sign up to swap postage stamp charms. What are postage stamp charms, you ask? They are tiny squares of quilting fabric that can be 1 1/2" to 2 1/2". A postage stamp quilt is made using these charms. Ideally, no two fabrics are repeated in the whole quilt. So a charm swap is great because there are so many fabrics in the world that I don't have. In this swap, we trade 100-charm packs. This will be my second swap. I did one in April and so far I have sewn six 13" blocks.<br />
<br />

This is a small sample of what my quilt will look like from the Stash Bee. I was queen bee in June and I think I still need to receive a few blocks before I can get it all put together. Another fun online group to join and all you have to do is make one block a month to send to someone somewhere in the world. <br />

The last online group I participate in is Doll Quilters Monthly. This is the quilt I sent to my June partner in Tennessee. Doll quilts are so fun to make because they are fast. One a month is not too much to keep up with. <br />
<br />
What a hot summer we are having. It is going by so fast. Life is so busy, but don't we love it. Keep quilting and stay happy.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10889404711811367180noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427447271362963610.post-15896778612044212622012-06-09T09:26:00.000-06:002012-06-09T09:26:45.553-06:00I had a great time at Suppose Guild sewing night Thursday. I worked on my postage stamp blocks. I need to use all the charms I have because next month there will be another swap. Anyway, it was fun to visit and sew with friends. I brought home two almost finished blocks. <br />
<br />
I'm already getting Stash Bee blocks in the mail. Its like receiving presents. I also got this --<br />

Its my first doll quilt. The fussy cut flowers are so cute. As you can see, quilters are very generous. Besides a handmade card, my partner sent me a zipper pouch that contained a tin of arrow pins, a thimble ring and a quilt block necklace. I was so happy with the quilt and the gifts. <br />
<br />
Now for a day of serious quilting. I want to finish something today and then I will let you see.<br />

The weather is finally a little nicer after all the cold and rain. I hope the sunshine will be with us for a while now. <br />

I am Queen Bee for June in Stash Bee. It is a fun group. Each person in the hive makes a block for the Queen Bee every month and the Queen Bee has enough blocks to make a quilt. This will be my fourth month. It will be so fun to have all the blocks come to me and when I get them sewn together, I will have a fun birthday present. That's why I chose the month of June. You should check out all the fun projects at <a href="http://stashbee.com"></a> and maybe even join hive #5. This is my block:<br />

I'm the queen bee in June, so I need to make a block and write a tutorial for the group. <br />
<br />
I've started a new thing--a postage stamp quilt charm swap. I swapped 2" squares of fabric with 10 people and will be making blocks that look like this:<br />

It was a lot of cutting, but I sent charms to and will be getting some from Sweden, Australia and Wales plus lots of states in the US. I already have some from Pocatello and Illinois. Its so fun to see what people send and to visit with them online. <br />

So much sewing and so little time. Isn't it great? Keep quilting and stay happy.<br />

I have a few things to show. Do you sometimes slow down and lose a little of your enthusiasm? I do, but I have it all back now. First of all let me say that I have seen the new Quilt Sampler Magazine and Suppose, where I work, is the first shop featured. It is a really nice article. <br />

I am binding a quilt for the store today. Pictures will come next time. Last night at another guild, I started an English paper piecing project. It is my first. I think I will like this. And I signed up for a charm swap this week for a postage stamp quilt. Thousands of small squares will be a real challenge. This might not be seen for years.<br />
<br />
We are busy at Suppose preparing for Shop Hop next week and then for the Quilt Sampler magazine release. So exciting.<br />
<br />
Keep quilting and stay happy.<br />

She chose a very easy block, so I just got it done. Then I won't have to worry about it at the end of the month. You see, I have a new project I need to spend some time on. <br />

Two members of Suppose Guild are having babies soon and one very special daughter has just announced her big news. She has been making and saving quilts and receiving blankets for years, but she does not know how to knit. The next ones will be red. <br />
<br />
I'm excited today because I just got a new book in the mail, "The Magic of Crazy Quilting" by Marsha Michler. She is amazing. I can't wait to settle down and read for an hour or so tonight. <br />
<br />
Keep quilting and stay happy.<br />

This is for the PVQG quilt show in May. It will be a 12" block and I can add more fabrics (3) if I want. I will start this next week. <br />

And one last thing--these are the fabrics for my first Doll Quilters Monthly swap. I have been getting to know my partner and she is an awesome lady who collects French dolls. <br />
<br />
Now that was a lot for one week, wasn't it? I am having such fun quilting, but I am afraid I will have to spend some time working in my yard soon. Oh well, I do love the fresh vegetables and pretty flowers that come from that work. How could anyone ever get bored with life? <br />
