Quilting Inspiration

Hi Everyone.  Ok.....time to have a show and tell. Or just a tell.  What is everyone working on? 

As for me,  I have been working on my double wedding ring.  Next week I have my class in the Farmer's Wife again, so I will be back to that with homework.  Having fun sewing, getting ready to turn these projects into QUILTS!

Mistakes in Patterns, Kits? What is your experience, and.....

I am sure many of us have found mistakes in a pattern or kit when we are deep in the middle of a quilt. What are your experiences and how did you work around it?

Double Wedding Ring Quilt Top

Started this quilt top in the 1980's and didn't finish until the mid 1990's. It still isn't quilted. I have no idea where I got the pattern from.

Sources for 1930's (depression era) fabric

Over the weekend, I attended a quilting class with Judy at Mt. Pleasant Quilting. It was a new way to make a Double Wedding Ring Quilt. You use stuff that is like fusible interfacing to make the arcs and then temporarily fuse it to the background and then stitch with invisible thread. It looks very nice, isn't too hard (actually a little addicting), and is the only way I will ever make ANY size DWW quilt. My DH says he would like to see one big enough for our bed. Don't know if that will ever happen, but I do think if I have enough material, I will make at least an over sized lap quilt.

You May now Kiss the Bride!

Me and My (Now) Wife getting married.  It took Me by surprise to see how Nervous I was.  The wedding went very well and was more then what we could of wanted.  We wanted the Family to be apart of the wedding and Mom made it possible.  I have a great family and now a great wife.  God has given Me more then I could of asked for.

Great Source for rotary blades

Just wanted to pass on some info that I found on another site. Harbor Freight carries 45mm carpet cutter blades for 2 or $1.49 that fit many rotary cutters. They don't fit my Dritz cutter that has a little piece of plastic on the spindle for the blade, so requires a slotted blade, but definitely will fit my Fiskars. At that price, I can change them out sooner rather then tolerating them when they start to skip a thread here and a thread there.

Color Help Needed

Ok quitting buddies.......I could use some suggestions for the sashing on my quilt blocks.  I still am making more to this quilt.  The main color scheme as you can see is shades of blue and white.    If the fabric is not marbled, it has stars in it.  I keep wondering what color my sashing should be.  SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!  At this point, I am thinking maybe a light buttery yellow. 

Updated my UFO List

in

I decided that I should make a list, so I don't get more projects when I go to the quilt shops.

I listed them with Projects in planning, Have Material only, work in progress, need to make label, basting the quilt, hand or machine quilting.

This way I know where I am in all my projects. This makes things clearer for me.

I have 25 projects that are all at different stages. Some in need some material for, and then others need to quilt. A very interesting list. Hopefully it will keep me on track.

Theo and me

Hi Girls,

It's a long time ago that I was here. But we have very busy months. At first we had our party for our 25 years of marriage. But I also have flue. This is the thirth week. It goes better now, but I'm still dizzy. I have sinusitus and sinus inflammation. And that causes that I'm dizzy. I hope I feel well soon. When I'm well you will see me more often. I have some pictures of the party from last saturday.
