I've wanted to make these since <a href="http://www.embroiderygarden.com/">Embroidery Garden</a> first advertised to design. They are made all in the hoop on your embroidery machine. They take a bit to make but they're so cute & definitely worth the effort!! <br />

It was time for a new purse. <br />
This one was fairly fast, easy & the pattern was a freebie! I added some inside pocket & narrowed the handle a little. I like that the seam allowances are 1/2"! Some of the patterns have 1/4" seams & for a purses that just not enough. I'd use this pattern again in a heart beat!! <a href="http://thinkliz.com/2009/02/20/diana-hobo-free-pattern/">So go get your own copy here...</a><br />

As I was finishing up a friends birthday gift today, I needed a couple of matching buttons. So out came the gallon jars of buttons & you just have to dump them to find those perfect ones, right. As I was digging through them I was thinking how my oldest grandson is turning 19 tomorrow. Where did the time go?? Damon lived with us for most of his first 6 years & spent hours in the sewing room with me. His favorite game was counting & matching the buttons. He played with them for hours. Then he would get the chicken pincushions & play pin the button on the chickens!! Oh how I miss those times. At 3 he was matching fabric, knew what a fat quarter was & picking out the bestest quilts to make for him. <br />
Here he is at 5. He was digging through a box of kid fabrics & found this Dino print. Then he designed the top & picked out all the fabrics right down to the binding!<br />

The colors are really off in this picture, but it's going in the mail tomorrow so no time for more pictures. The white is really a cream/tan print. Oh well. it's done!!<br />
I found the poem for the label on the Internet. <br />
<br />
May this quilt keep you safe from harm.<br />
May it be your good luck charm. <br />
I do not know the challenges you face.<br />
But in your arms is a quilter's embrace.<br />
<br />
I thought it was perfect for a quilt going to someone I don't know. Christina is a a friend of my daughters. Thank you to whomever wrote it.

It's almost done. I was sick so much of January that this quilt was put on hold. I thought about sending it to my Ca. quilting cousin, but it would have been another month getting it done & back. So I'm doing a simple straight stitch using the edge of the walking foot as a guide. I happy with it & I'm sure she will be to. BUT before I quilt anything else Dale has to cut a hole in this table & make a shelf for the machine to sit on. We have plans to build a nice big sewing/quilting table, but I don't want to have to move it & we will be moving from Nevada within the next 5 years come h*!! or high water. So I'll just make due until then!! I'll add a finished pic soon. <br />

Friday we spent to day in Elko, NV. It was the annual Cowboy Poetry Gathering & we have family & friends that go every year. One day isn't nearly long enough but we can't leave the ranch alone any longer than that unless we can find a sitter that's good with horses & dogs!! We left early in the AM & got home after 11. I'm still recuperating and I'm really hoping to be able to stay overnight next year...<br />
And Saturday we spent the whole day trimming horse feet, currying, brushing, doctoring if needed & conditioning manes & tails. Then we went to dinner in town & fell in bed by 7:30. So much for a night life!! Here it is Sunday eve & I've accomplished absolutely nothing but feeding the critters. <br />
<br />
And how's my Lone Star going. I've dug through my stash & pulled fabrics for what I'm hoping will be western/cowboy kinda colors. Dale has been bugging me to make a cowboy/horse quilt. Well, I really don't want a horse quilt on my bed, so I'm compromising. Cowboy/Western colors on the front & Horses on the back. And if he doesn't complain I'll make him a Pinup Cowgirl pillow case!!<br />
So without further ado, here's my fabric choices, all from my stash!<br />
<br />

I've been reading & studying the different techniques used by different designers for making the stars. Most of are very similar. Main differences are in the pressing & the order of sewing the diamonds, setting triangles & setting squares together. So basically you can use the pattern you like, with the piecing technique that work for you. Unless there is paper piecing involved, then follow the pattern!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've decided to use the <a href="http://www.animasquilts.com/index.html">Jackie Robinson , Animas Quilts pattern</a>. Her Lone Star pattern makes a Sq. lap size with a plain border or a King sized with several pieced borders. Oddly I can't find any pictures of the King sized online, so I guess it's a surprise. As soon as I getting the cancer quilt I'm working on quilted & bound, I can start!!! Happy Quilting...</div>Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03233457578406343149noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732842026656245857.post-56057128208529607602012-01-09T19:24:00.000-08:002012-01-09T19:35:23.731-08:00A Few of the Fun BOMs Starting<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've made 4 of these, all strip pieced. So much easier. I'll admit here that my 1st was a 12" mini. Not the best one to start with & the center came out all wonky! But I finished it anyway... And I'll even show pictures.<br />
2nd one was a king size Radiant or Broken Star. I took a class from a young Amish woman in Libby Montana around 1998ish or so. It was in blacks, grays & burgundies. My oldest daughter has it & after looking everywhere tonight I could not find any pictures, asked & hoping to get one soon.<br />
The 3rd one was made for a friend & her husband at her request, I got the top done & then she changed her mind so it was never quilted but here's a picture of it before I sent it to the Australia Brush Fire victims. I used Eleanor Burns Radiant Star book.<br />
And last is another that hasn't been finished. This one is lap/baby size & also made using the Eleanor Burns book. I plan to pull a bunch of Batiks and add pieced & solid border to turn it into a twin, hopefully!<br />
<br />
The Peach, Rust & Green one I sent to Australia<br />
My Batik PhD. Haven't found the top to take a better pic, sorry<br />

Before my daughter was deployed, she asked if I could make a Comfort Quilt for the wife of one of the Airmen in her unit. She has cancer & is not doing well. With Christmas & my grand kids visiting it was just to hectic. So today I played in EQ, using a floral print & 5 coordinating print to come up with a pleasing, very fast lap quilt. This pattern would work with any medium to large print fabric. I pulled all these from my stash today. I have batting. So the only thing I might have to buy is Flannel for the back. I'll play with the color arrangement some, but I'm pretty happy with the design. So what do you think?? It should finish to 58" x 70". Please ignore the funky colors. I just grabbed in EQ. I'm to lazy to scan my fabrics in!<br />

I will have made about 60 ornaments this year, when I'm done. A lot more than usual. It all started with those reindeer! I make personalized, dated ornaments for my family & close friends every year. It's my way of saying, I'm thinking of you. They're all made on my embroidery machine.<br />
The horse heads are for a special project I'm working on. More about them in it's own post.<br />
And then there's the weird, yet to be seen ornaments for Damon's tree! But you'll have to wait to see those ...<br />
Let's see , so far I've made 20 secret weird ones, 14 Reindeer, 6 horse heads, 4 gingerbread men, 3 Patchwork Snowmen, 3 Military Ribbons, 2 cowboy boots, 2 sugar skulls, 2 caffeine Santa's, 1 wedding heart, 1 old truck, 1 snoopy, 1 flower, 1 heart snowman, 1 funny frog, 1 alien Santa and a pirate ship in a pear tree! OK, there really is no tree, maybe next year...<br />

Christmas to me means family & hopefully lots of it. My kids & grand kids are literally spread from 1 coast to the other so it's very seldom that we get together. This year my son & his 3 little ones were here for Thanksgiving so that's when our Christmas started. Damon our oldest grandson will be here on the 22nd!! The last Christmas we had with Damon was in 2002. I keep hoping that just once they will all make it home at the same time, but with Military kids it'll probably will never happen. Oh well, you learn to enjoy what your given! The little quilt hung on point is one I designed for a paper piecing class, way back when.</div>

It's that time of the year. You know, when all those last minute ideas pop into your head & you know you just have to bring them to life. It starts out with an innocent thought, "these are so easy, I think I'll make so & so some". And then all "he!!" breaks loose. The next thing you know it's 1 am, your blurry eyed & shaking from caffeine overdose! But they're so cute!<br />
Thanks to my trusty embroidery machine these happy little reindeer are going to make some little girls & a few little boys smile! The design was the freebie of the month from <a href="http://www.embroiderygarden.com/store/">Embroidery Gardens yahoo group.</a><br />
And with all these reindeer running around I had to dig out my reindeer wrangler!<br />

The Christmas Star wall quilt is one of my original patterns from when I was still teaching quilting classes in Montana. The little stockings were some my oldest daughter made for my parents when she was around 14 or so. I found & glued on her poor eye! And here's our the little cowboy tree...</div>

And this guy is probably the only UFO I'll get finished this year & he wasn't even on my list. My mother bought him as a Mary Maxim kits # 80025-03, who knows how many years ago. Only change I made was to not use the fake hair & beard. </div>
So are you all madly sewing away in the hopes of finishing before the big day!! Jill?? :)<br />

I'm going easy on myself this Christmas. I'm making my usual ornaments for everyone & the little ones got tied fleece throws! They were so easy to make & a big hit! Everyone over 18 gets gift cards & ornaments. That's it. No stress & all fun...<br />
My oldest daughter Shana made this beautiful Angel ornament at vacation bible camp when she was about 7. It's a treasure. Someday I'll give it back to her, maybe!<br />

And right outside their bedroom door is the animal tree! They loved it. All year as I went to the 2nd had stores or garage sales & picked up little stuffed critters. There's a few holes now as I let the kids pick a favorite to go home with them. No lights or tinsel but so cute!</div>

Christmas started at Thanksgiving for us this year! Our son had 10 days leave before shipping out to Afghanistan again. So while we had Trav & our 3 youngest grand kids, we celebrated!! We baked, decorated, crafted, rode horses & had so much fun. The days went by way to fast but we made wonderful memories!<br />
<br />

Both Trav & our daughter Shana are in the military. Marine & Navy, we couldn't be more proud of them. Both will be shipping out in early December. Gives us a good reason to have another party when they're home!! <br />
<br />
Now on the the grand kids. Cute, cuter & cutest!!<br />

We lost Mom in 2004, I didn't start working on these until the winter of 2005. 8 large full to queen size quilts & 1 wall hanging. When I'm not doing the happy dance, I'm slowly working on my own UFO's. As I was sorting through Mom's mountains of books, fabric, patterns, UFO's & everything in between I made a promise to my kids not the do that to them. So I went through all my unfinished projects & made 2 piles. 1 to finish & 1 to donate. I donated fabric & UFO's to several groups that finish them & give them to shelters for men, women & children plus I used 125 yards of fabric in pillowcases for good causes! Let me tell you working on my own & finishing Mom's UFO's & donating the rest feels great. A fresh start!! I still have a list of my own but most of those are small & easily finished projects. Will I start any new projects? Probably but I'm making sure if I start it I finish it... <br />

</tbody></table> Well it's over for another year. All the madness & rushing around. All the midnight sewing. All the cleaning & cooking, wrapping & decorating. Now we have a whole year to think about getting started early & still madly rush to finish everything we want to before Santa's big night. I haven't decided if we're all just nuts or do we really enjoy it? Me, I actually did very little sewing this Christmas. I made a few ornaments & that was it. This was a hard one for me. Both my oldest & youngest child are away serving our country. My grand kids are in Virginia & Oregon. So it was just us 3 & between the rain, snow, mud & ice, it seems we had little energy left over. So we had a simple Christmas with just a few small gifts, a few decorations & a really nice quiet dinner. And it seemed to be just what we needed!<br />
