Block 3 of the BOM

You know when you plan something wonderful and everything goes wrong! That's what has happened to me over the weekend. For starters I couldn't get my video working right. Then my editing software wouldn't come up... so on and so on.  But it's finally done, my first tutorial.

Here is block 3 for the 2014 Modern Stain Glass BOM.

Back Again

I can't believe that it has been since August that I posted anything to my blog.  Boy time fly's when your having fun. I have been super busy lately, I am working full time again (Love It) I am the Administration Assistant to the President of the company that I'm working for. Didn't really know if I wanted to get back into being assistant, but I really enjoy this position.

I'm going to be a grandma, yes my daughter and son-in-law is having a baby next July. I'm so excited about that. The only thing is that the baby will be born in Korea. They will be stationed over there for 3 years. So I will be saving all my extra money to go over there next July so see my first grand baby.

Know on to my quilting that I have been doing, not much, but I have been doing some.

My modern quilt guild has been doing Bee's each month. So I have been doing those blocks. I made another weekender, but can't show until after Christmas. (it's a gift).  

I did 4 blocks for Luci - Modern Maples throw quilt I don't have pictures of those.

I made a couple of table runners. Here's one of them.

 
I will get back into posting to my blog. I promise!

I have an exciting year coming up. I will be creating a BOM for my guild. Which I will be posting on here each month. I created the BOM on my EQ7, and it's going to be paper piecing. 

So if you would like to join this 2014 BOM, I will be posting the fabric information at the end of December.

 

Tote - July 2013 Sew Every Day Challenge

Yesterday I was working on a challenge from my Modern Quilt Guild and thought that this would also work for Pat Sloan's July 2013 Sew every day challenge. 

At our Guild Meeting we draw names and whoever's name we draw we had to make something for them out of the  40 - 2 1/2 squares that they picked.   I draw "Lucy", so I'm going to make her a tote. 

                  

 

I have been doing HST a lot lately so of course I made more HST, but putting them together as a tote.  I have the exterior of the tote quilted. 

Today I will be doing the handles, pockets and the liner. 
Here is a picture of the tote so far.

Come back tomorrow and see the finished tote.

Happy Sewing!

It's Been awhile

It's been a month since I posted anything to my blog...Life happens... I still have been quilting, just not much time to post anything. One reason is that my computer crashed and had to get a new one.  Which I love this one.  Starting next week I will be working about 50 hours... which I am ready to go back to work, but that means not much time for quilting... but you know me I will find some way to get into my quilting room....

Here are some of what I worked on this month...
I was playing around with 1 1/2 inch blocks... First picture is 100 blocks (left over) to go into bigger blocks

First one that I did...                                                                   Second little block

 Here are those two and one that I did with 2 inch blocks.

 

For our Modern Quilt Guild the challenge for February was to create something with a rainbow theme and from Pinterest  (my pinterest)

I went with the Easy Zig Zags, that I found on Pinterest. You need to check it out it was so cool and easy to do... I also did some crazy patching. Still working on the quilting part.

 

Front - I did some stitch in the ditch before marking.

Back



 

 

 

 

Here are some pictures of the marking that I did for some of the quilting.

I was also working on Hexagons... I completed 16

Here is my storage bin of 105 that I basted

 

I also did the blocks for the Row Along that I am doing with Bee In My Bonnet. 

But only got one picture of one of the blocks... Hoping that tonight or tomorrow that I will be able to get the row put together and show the entire row.

I'm gonna be doing a Tips and Technique on Thursday at my Guild meeting so I will do another post on that to show how to create a Hexagon out of a circle...

 

 

 

New Fabric

OK don't know what's going on but not able to post any pictures tonight... I will try again in the morning..

 

In the meantime, I just got back from my Modern Quilt Guild meeting.  It was pretty good, low attendance but it will get better. Got to think positive.  I missed last month due to having the flu. 

But we are doing a HST (Half-Square Triangle) Block of the Month by In Color Order. This was actualy last years BOM, but who cares. So I got January and February tonight.  Last month I seen what they were going to do and I created one in red, white and blue. I will try and post a picture tomorrow of it. 

Well since I can't post any pictures tonight.  I will sign off.

Until Tomorrow.

Thanks
