Almost 4 months! So much has happened in that time and it was impossible to maintain any thought pattern long enough to think about a blog post. But what has brought me out of hiding is Michele from <a href="http://quiltsfrommycrayonbox.blogspot.com/2013/07/todays-day-2013-modern-mini-mystery.html" target="_blank">Quilts From My Crayon Box</a> and the big reveal of her famous Modern Mystery Round Robin 2. This was one of those posts I have been looking forward to sharing with you for a very long time. So you can imagine my disappointment when I tell you that my photos that I have been so carefully collecting are gone, gone, gone. The hard drive died, as well as my backup. I did not make a back up of my back up, and so, all I have to show you are a few stolen photos from some of the other links of my work.<br />
<br />
I started out by sending out this center block of appliqued fish.<br />

I asked my team to imagine what they would see on a snorkeling trip off the coral reefs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The first one I received to work on was Kim's who made a paper pieced flower grouping.</div>
<br />
I set it on the corner and added freestyle appliqued flowers to make it square again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
The second one I received was Diane's from England. On hers, I added green triangles set in purple triangles, framed by red triangles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBg_aqRcol1VBE7umRRWvS02wDrrgX8I31f0gPDCS8Er0KwWxg77ic9Wmsei5zBmJKvQsuUfwMQEbtRut4yamgbw9H70B-pLGpuBMo6th88xWsYerFa9g6hIplFuTY-QKqKFuVY3P56nw/s1600/IMG_3380.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBg_aqRcol1VBE7umRRWvS02wDrrgX8I31f0gPDCS8Er0KwWxg77ic9Wmsei5zBmJKvQsuUfwMQEbtRut4yamgbw9H70B-pLGpuBMo6th88xWsYerFa9g6hIplFuTY-QKqKFuVY3P56nw/s320/IMG_3380.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The third one I received was Laurel's. I really enjoyed the jewel tones and found them inspiring.<br />
I added Ohio star sections all the way around.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY9xrQpinKGwOGsfKKTf-pKCfBtwoL1f7rT3M8gCf3ucz1GF1FBtmGF3Od75-4trZb9ecRMSdUrRD6qA-UbOmJebmkTd_zTWEopbjxR5U5O7Ukd8WZaFT2WyHC5vyGu6CSOycWT6ruB-4/s1600/P1030380_thumb%255B4%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY9xrQpinKGwOGsfKKTf-pKCfBtwoL1f7rT3M8gCf3ucz1GF1FBtmGF3Od75-4trZb9ecRMSdUrRD6qA-UbOmJebmkTd_zTWEopbjxR5U5O7Ukd8WZaFT2WyHC5vyGu6CSOycWT6ruB-4/s1600/P1030380_thumb%255B4%255D.jpg" /></a></div>
The fourth quilt I received was Megan's. Something about that a giraffe print in the center got me thinking about Africa. This quilt was beginning to tell a story and I wanted to add a chapter to it. So I appliqued some hard working ladies on the top tending their flock, and on the bottom, I added some what I hoped looked like a wavy Serengeti plains feel to the top.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgJ3RlD_gaqAmn7nQIgpAO_ZDhIHag0YhWP3zsam7jZWJ3TTp6qHFbYlumo8R2WXMSa0R7z8KWndOe2G6bcmuvQk1fwTWNUMg7WU0wN8Aad7exM3NksdKG14eatdMz_qzo06naXnfSZjI/s1600/IMG_0088.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgJ3RlD_gaqAmn7nQIgpAO_ZDhIHag0YhWP3zsam7jZWJ3TTp6qHFbYlumo8R2WXMSa0R7z8KWndOe2G6bcmuvQk1fwTWNUMg7WU0wN8Aad7exM3NksdKG14eatdMz_qzo06naXnfSZjI/s320/IMG_0088.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
The last one was Bea's. I liked one of the borders added near the middle, so I repeated that motif.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdG4g_FESF8bbNx6OL2_Jtl5qc0xgkkfPPIduTexHeYj6zFikuGKtyPz7ij1G7secemtpkPQTgB2fwDqIUHUwxCciwlWVzqHIh8Sg9Y6_chOZ3MqYVFOFuE-duf7F4rXBWNC922-QZg9M/s1600/june+280_thumb%255B4%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdG4g_FESF8bbNx6OL2_Jtl5qc0xgkkfPPIduTexHeYj6zFikuGKtyPz7ij1G7secemtpkPQTgB2fwDqIUHUwxCciwlWVzqHIh8Sg9Y6_chOZ3MqYVFOFuE-duf7F4rXBWNC922-QZg9M/s1600/june+280_thumb%255B4%255D.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then mine returned home. Now the picture I am showing you here isn't what I received. There was a thick solid blue border in the middle that stopped the flow. I removed it and replaced it with some re-purposed water color wonky log cabin blocks I had and made my block off centered. I really love the intricate work the ladies placed into my top. It definitely looks like a beautiful, fluid watery adventure. I truly enjoy it! I plan to enlarge it to a lap size quilt to use during the winter.<br />

<br />
Once again, Michele, thank you for your hard work in keeping the swap running smoothly, and special thanks to this crew of quilters who really inspired me to try new colors and techniques.<br />

with the quilting grandma’s letter about her ungrateful son and DIL struck a
nerve in so many readers. My post received an increase of 444% hits, and
the comments section in the Washington Post’s Lifestyle section received 240
comments. Funny, the comments about the advice given to the quilting
grandmother with the ungrateful son trumped the alcoholic boyfriend advice by
240 to 5. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t report on the Chicago
Tribune’s comment section because they require me to pay to read their paper
and I am a bargain hunting news junkie.</span>

wasn’t surprised that most of the readers were in favor of chewing out the son
in providing what Zurn coined a teaching moment. That is the mom thing to do. </span></div>

to the quilting grandma was to let go of any expectations of what they will do
with the gift, and don’t give anymore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
lot of comments recommended she take the quilt back and bring it out when the
grandchild came to visit to create a special memory. </span></span></div>

love giving handmade gifts. Just because we love what we do and what we make
doesn’t mean others will. We need to check our egos at the door when selecting
a gift and give some thought to whether the recipient would need or want
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span></div>

I come across Ask Amy, a syndicated advice giver, I think out of Chicago, who answered a letter from a quilter. I'll let you read it <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/ask-amy-addiction-creates-friendship-dilemma/2013/03/15/b2e6d222-8d8c-11e2-9838-d62f083ba93f_story.html" target="_blank">here</a> , but I'll post it below as well.</span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>"DEAR AMY: My 27-year-old son and his wife are expecting our first
grandchild this summer. I am over the moon. As a gift for the baby, I
made a beautiful, meaningful patchwork quilt.</i></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Not only did I not
receive a “thanks” or “I like it,” but I was told that I would need to
run any further gifts past them to make sure they would need it. My son
went on to say that they do not have a lot of extra space to store
blankets.</i></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>"This quilt was made with only one thing in mind —
showing my grandchild how much I care. How should I handle my feelings
of rejection and disappointment? Do I continue to send gifts with the
hope that they meet parental approval?</i></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>"Or should I send gifts of cash, which I am loath to do? -- Quilter in a Quagmire</i></span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>"DEAR
QUILTER: I can understand how disappointed you must feel, but you have
spun this disappointment into a massive dilemma about gift-giving. You
might be someone who wraps your considerable positive and powerful
feelings into quilts, gifts and other material things. This abundance of
kindness can create unintended pressure for a couple who haven’t even
become parents yet.</i></span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>"You should determine to give this new baby the
most important thing of all — an easy and loving relationship with you.
Nothing further is required."</i></span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Wow. Just wow. I mean, when does abundance of kindness expressed through a quilt equal pressure? In short, Amy's suggestion in handling feelings of rejection and disappointment was to blame the quilter for wanting to show kindness in a way that makes sense to her. I'm trying to think as I type here, but here's the thing. This guy is her son, who is my own son's age. If his mom is like any of us, then he has to know his mom is an enthusiastic quilter. He should be anticipating that she is going to want to make a quilt for any baby he brings into this world. But to order his mother to run gift ideas past them first? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Help me, dear readers, She sent a quilt, probably a 36" x 54" baby quilt. She didn't send a treadmill, or a Magic Bullet drink mixer that takes up an entire kitchen cabinet with all of its connectable parts. While I sympathize with the space dilemma a young couple starting a family might face as this is a common scenario that so many of us go through, his answer made no logical sense. He and his wife will find out soon enough that babies will take up more space than they will ever have, even if they live in a mansion. I think his answer reflects a painful underlying dynamic here, and that is why this good quilter feels so rejected. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I ask you - have you ever given a gift where you spent considerable amount of time and maybe money only to have it so summarily rejected the way this son rejected his mother's gift? If you were to give this good woman advice, what would you suggest she do to overcome her feelings of rejection? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. </span> Orange Crumpled Napkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04055834177618192244noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094420342762395272.post-15599462076775213572013-02-28T11:45:00.000-05:002013-03-01T06:33:48.275-05:00Such a Busy Month<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I was always the kind of student who could find anything more important to do right when I should be writing a paper or cramming for an exam. And I'm finding the same to be true now, especially since I made a commitment to learn FMQ, <span style="font-size: small;">in order to finish </span>2 major project<span style="font-size: small;">s.</span> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But to free up my time, I have to free up my mind, which means knocking off my list those little chores that nag at me. In my sewing room, I had a basket on my table that was overflowing with scraps. For some reason, I feel I can't move forward until I deal with them. I divided them up into 3 categories last weekend.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1. Pieces big enough to do something with, (wider than 2.5")</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2. Pieces too small to do something with but too big to throw away, (> 1", < 2.5")</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">3. Pieces too small to do something with, but could be used to make applique circles (>.75", <1").</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">4. Throw away.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I then spent some more time shoving category 2 into separate jars
according to color. It seems that blue is a major color for me. I
needed 3 jars for blue, dark, medium and light.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I spend about 1/2 hour in the morning before leaving for work doing
something in the sewing room. This week, I<span style="font-size: small;">'ve</span> been grabbing a jar and
making crumb blocks out of those pieces. So far, I have 2 blocks done. <span style="font-size: small;">The white one is 9x12" and the green is a 9x1<span style="font-size: small;">0" <span style="font-size: small;">polygon.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When I get these done, I don't know if I'll be any closer to starting to free moti<span style="font-size: small;">on quilt, and then I received an invitation fr<span style="font-size: small;">om my good friend <span style="font-size: small;">from <a href="http://spillingenergy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Spilling Energy</a></span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> to learn with her Free <span style="font-size: small;">Motion Qui<span style="font-size: small;">lting<span style="font-size: small;"> during one of our play dates.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Last October I entered in another one of Michele's Round Robin Swaps with a little trepidation. This round robin was only 4 months long, and it required each participant to add on 2 borders up to 6" in width before sending it on to the next participant. This was a big commitment to enter right before the holidays. But I agreed. I was in the middle of designing my first block when Hurricane Sandy hit, which totally threw my schedule off balance. But my teammates were very gracious and understanding ladies and and did beautiful work on my block even though I had sent it out 2 weeks late.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In mid November, I sent out my 8" starter block.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I received from Rachell in Utah her center block.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I wanted to play with the rhythmic flow the center hearts gave and added the applique tulips and the dancing squares. Here is a closeup of the machine applique.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In December, I received from Michele, Rachel's block from California.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4WL69bSJNti_s52HYdwKkinWiFA6MCXH7gSaMjBkVmlL9HHa29GGQP57i64FoVdKmyn-E7o0RlBhExNTI1ue_l7z2RNFhN9ONTP3X-68l1BwHtHOCh34hILjA0EpLS-wSaVW8K7jVa4k/s1600/IMG_1468.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4WL69bSJNti_s52HYdwKkinWiFA6MCXH7gSaMjBkVmlL9HHa29GGQP57i64FoVdKmyn-E7o0RlBhExNTI1ue_l7z2RNFhN9ONTP3X-68l1BwHtHOCh34hILjA0EpLS-wSaVW8K7jVa4k/s320/IMG_1468.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Michele took the center block and tilted it a bit which created a waving movement. I wanted to repeat the polka dots somewhat, so I made log cabin blocks with white centers then appliqued dots on top of the top border.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In January, I received Michele's block. I broke the rules a bit with hers. I made my border additions wider than 6" so I could play with my new <span style="font-size: small;">D</span>resden ruler. I also added applique birds and flowers to give it a Pennsylvania Dutch feel to it. I knew that Michele has plans to attend the Lancaster, PA quilt show in March. Then to make the Dresden plates fit the quilt, I added another border at the bottom. Not sure what that design is called, I quickly sketched it out on graph paper.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> At the end of January, I received my little block back, and my, how it has fattened up! I love it. I haven't done much to it other than add a leftover applique bird to the center pink border, but I like how the different shades of red make the eye dance. It will be fun to add on to this one more to make it into a lap sized quilt. The borders were carefully constructed, and the color balance is very playful. A very fun combination. Thank you to Rachell, Rachel and Michele for not only putting such careful thought into their additions, but also for sending me their tops on time, giving me plenty of time to construct complex additions. I was able to test new skills, new rulers and border designs. A wonderful experience!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thanks again to Michele for coordinating, or more accurately, corralling such a diverse group of quilters into keeping deadlines and doubling up on the border additions each month. I invite you to go to her website, <a href="http://quiltsfrommycrayonbox.blogspot.com/2013/02/quilt-u-be-mine-mini-mystery-round.html" target="_blank">Quilts from My Crayon Box,</a> to see the links to all of the other finishes.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Eric Woolf, the Online Media Coordinator for Fons & Porter, asked me to write a review for their latest e<span style="font-size: small;">B</span>ook, <b>Build Your Best Log Cabin - Free Log Cabin Quilt Patterns<span style="font-size: small;">. </span> </b><span style="font-size: small;">Y</span>ou can access it <a href="http://www.fonsandporter.com/landing/free-log-cabin-quilt-patterns" target="_blank">here<span style="font-size: small;"> for free.</span></a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The book was<span style="font-size: small;"> 24 pages long and </span>focused on three log cabin designs, the Traditional, Courthouse Steps, and the Chevron.Each pattern type came with beautiful photos, basic instructions, and a really nice cutting chart to accommodate a variety of finished quilt sizes.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've sewn <span style="font-size: small;">log <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">cabin</span> quilts in t<span style="font-size: small;">he past<span style="font-size: small;">. My first one was a tradi<span style="font-size: small;">tio</span>nal block created to insulate a <span style="font-size: small;">drafty door in an ancient building we lived in while stationed in Germany. The second one was th<span style="font-size: small;">e courthouse steps pattern which I ga<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">v</span>e to my father years ago. So to <span style="font-size: small;">test the instru<span style="font-size: small;">ctions in this book, I chose this time the C<span style="font-size: small;">hevron Log Cabin.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

For my blocks, I chose the s<span style="font-size: small;">mallest size, 4 1/2 inches<span style="font-size: small;">, with a strip wid<span style="font-size: small;">th of only 1<span style="font-size: small;">". <span style="font-size: small;">Silly me, I though<span style="font-size: small;">t that if the blocks were s<span style="font-size: small;">mall<span style="font-size: small;">er <span style="font-size: small;">and narrower, <span style="font-size: small;">the pro<span style="font-size: small;">ject would go faster. Wrong. If anything, working with such tiny pieces of fabric made the process longer. There is no room for error<span style="font-size: small;"> in a t<span style="font-size: small;">iny block. One tip <span style="font-size: small;">I d<span style="font-size: small;">id pick up on was in the margins of the book. Their quick tip was to line a pizza box with a piece of batting <span style="font-size: small;">to hold <span style="font-size: small;">the strips without them slid<span style="font-size: small;">ing around. I tried that<span style="font-size: small;"> using a flat p<span style="font-size: small;">lastic box I had on hand and <span style="font-size: small;">it worked!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The chevron block I made consisted of 8 strip sets, a total of 17 pieces per 4 1/2" block. I cut out the pieces exactly as instructed per the size chart. Here is where I would add a suggestion in the book. <i>While the size chart depicts the width, the quilter should cut the strips a a 1/2" longer than the required length.</i> So many variables are present that the book cannot account for to ensure accurate quilting. Besides sewing an accurate 1/4" seam using accurately cut strips of fabric, other variables would be the tension of either the top thread or the bobbin thread, whether a sewing machine needs a tune up, or in my case stopping and starting in the middle of sewing a block to answer a phone call or tend to a sickly daughter can also play a significant role in the finished results. As you can see, by the time I got to the end of each row, there wasn't quite enough fabric to stretch to the end. The technique I normally would use is to use a piece a little longer than needed then have a little extra to block and trim at each strip for more successful results. </span><br />

This will be m<span style="font-size: large;">y only round robin or swap <span style="font-size: large;">for 2013 because I have plans to learn how to free motion <span style="font-size: large;">quilt. Already it has<span style="font-size: large;"> started off quite well. This week I rec<span style="font-size: large;">eived this block from Kim. I'm not supposed to show you the work I will do, but since this is the first month and I haven't started yet, I can show you her block. <span style="font-size: large;">Since it is a mystery, t</span>he positioning of the block, is the <span style="font-size: large;">only c<span style="font-size: large;">l<span style="font-size: large;">ue I can give you t<span style="font-size: large;">oday on what my plans will be</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The block I will be sending out this morning<span style="font-size: large;"> is entitled "Under the Sea". I remember buying th<span style="font-size: large;">e fish fabric from<span style="font-size: large;"> the PX</span> <span style="font-size: large;">in the 80's when we were stati<span style="font-size: large;">oned at Lin<span style="font-size: large;">dsey Air<span style="font-size: large;"> Station </span></span>in Wiesbaden.</span></span></span></span></span></span> <span style="font-size: large;">To keep myself busy on a train to Munic<span style="font-size: large;">h, I cut out the<span style="font-size: large;"> f<span style="font-size: large;">ish and hand bas<span style="font-size: large;">ted them to prepar<span style="font-size: large;">e for applique, then set them aside for 24 years. Wh<span style="font-size: large;">en looking through my fabrics searching <span style="font-size: large;">for an idea for this round robin, I cam<span style="font-size: large;">e across them again. Those <span style="font-size: large;">fishy eyes sta<span style="font-size: large;">red at me as if to say, "Glug, Glug<span style="font-size: large;">," fabric fish spea<span style="font-size: large;">k for "Ann it's time. Relea<span style="font-size: large;">se us<span style="font-size: large;">." </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think the <span style="font-size: large;">background for the applique reminds me of a snorkelin<span style="font-size: large;">g <span style="font-size: large;">journey I enjoyed in<span style="font-size: large;"> Key Largo a few years back. <span style="font-size: large;">Beautif<span style="font-size: large;">ul, tiny fish swimming through ke<span style="font-size: large;">lp and coral in bri<span style="font-size: large;">ght colors but still muted <span style="font-size: large;">from the sea water. I'm hopin<span style="font-size: large;">g my group will keep their addition<span style="font-size: large;">s in the cool<span style="font-size: large;">er end of the <span style="font-size: large;">color spectrum to continue that feeling.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Thanks to RANDOM.ORG for overseeing the number choosing. Dhia, I will be contacting you for your address to send you a box of surprises.

So until next time, keep the projects going!Orange Crumpled Napkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04055834177618192244noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094420342762395272.post-29641362438502946702013-01-05T09:37:00.002-05:002013-01-13T09:47:16.190-05:00Out With The Old In With the, ooh, What is THAT?! (Now Closed)<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've always loved the idea of a traveling stash and the sense of community it builds amongst us, haven't you? Here is my contribution to the Sisterhood of the Traveling whatever is in the box. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Since I've never done this before, I searched around to see how others have managed and was very happy to come across Cherise's site, <a href="http://sewinglyalong.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sewingly Along</a>. Cherise has created a very efficient and manageable system of tracking traveling stash's and uses her blog as a centralized area to promote the boxes. She also keeps track of where they are by keeping in
touch with the participants and aids in keeping the boxes moving. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">LOVE IT! I start it, Cherise keeps it rolling! So let's get started. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I spent New Year's day folding my fabrics and straightening out my room and came across some things I know I will not use, but might be of interest or value to another crafter. I may not buy often, but when I do, I stick to the higher quality fabrics offered by independent quilt shops and the first round of the traveling stash will reflect that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am starting out this stash fabrics along with samples from Lonni Rossi and Anna Maria Horner, a lovely African batik, some orphan blocks, a couple of notions, and a Debbie Mumm book for those who love to make baby quilts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The rules below are Cherise's guidelines to keep the traveling stash box appealing to future recipients. Even though she has already mentioned that items must be smoke free, I have to emphasize this one more time. I'm one of those unlucky souls who will go into bronchial spasms just by passing by someone who isn't even smoking but just finished a cigarette. Sometimes I will step off of elevators or buses to keep from an asthma attack. So I have to ask that if your quilting supplies are kept in a home where there is indoor smoking, I'm so sorry, but please don't enter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, you have read the rules and want to win the Traveling Stash Box #6? Respond to this post before Saturday, January 12th.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><u>RULES:</u></b></span>
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Be an active blogger. Post about receiving and the giveaway on your blog in a timely manner.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There is a note in the box that logs where the box has been. Please add your info and place the note back in the box.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There is a list of Rules and Guidelines in the box. Please read and follow these and return the list to the box.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You may take anything you like from the box. Just replace every item
with comparable quilt shop quality items equal to the amount taken. See
guidelines below.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ship the box to the next person in a reasonable amount of time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Due to the amount of postage shipping is only within the USA.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br />
<br />
<u><b>GUIDELINES:</b></u><br />
The definition of a stash is a secret store of valuables. For quilters
it's a collection of usable quality products. The stash should contain
mostly fabric with a few patterns and/or books and other items.<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>FABRIC: </b> Should be quilt shop quality in new condition.
Scraps should only be included if they are cut for adding to a
collection and packaged accordingly (i.e. I-Spy squares, postage stamp
squares, etc.). There should not be anything under a Fat Quarter unless
packaged like this.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>PATTERNS/BOOKS:</b> Should be in new or gently used condition. They should be kept to a minimum (books are bulky and add weight).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>OTHER ITEMS:</b> Should be in new or gently used condition. Tools, notions, etc. These items should be packaged if necessary.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br />
<br />
<b><u>IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:</u></b><br />
<br />
</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you receive a box with anything that is of "poor" condition you should not feel guilty in tossing it out.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Only put items in the box that you would be proud to own. The box is NOT a dumping place for all your outdated unwanted items.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Items should be free of smoke and pet hairs.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You must replace items you take with the same quantity of like-kind
items. Replacing more than you take is always welcome. :) There is a
guide to Pre-Cut amounts below for your reference.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Did you know that when you <a href="https://cns.usps.com/go" target="_blank">purchase postage online</a> you get a discount and FREE Delivery Confirmation?</span></li>

</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Yes you can do all of these!</b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u><b>Here's how . . .</b></u><br />
1. Go to <a href="http://usps.com/">USPS.com</a>.</span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.usps.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB-4eDTwqHgqCBLhN54ALevBtUeB1sPGZJHuKDw0bMBjw7dDuICS5mzqqVA_bFJMzwlaH9ksSVVvwUKcw6r5kPpjHrqwbAw4hoi6I8DLmJP460MDYRNF3DKm2PhT1C5GcQYMryBBBo6nj-/s1600/usps_logo.gif" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
2. Click on <b><i>Ship a Package</i></b>.<br />
3. Click on <b><i>Print a Label with Postage.</i></b><br />
4. Log on or create a new account.<br />
5. Enter the mailing information for your package. Enter the package
details. We use Flat Rate boxes to mail the Traveling Stash so check "<b><i>I am shipping Flat Rate</i></b>". Then choose your ship date and click "<b><i>Next: Choose a Service</i></b>".<br />
6. Scroll down the shipping options. Click on "<b><i>Large Flat Rate Box</i></b>".
(Note: Some of the stashes are in medium boxes so if the stash you
have is in the medium box you will choose that option.) Scroll down to "<b><i>Add extra services</i></b>". The "<b>Delivery Confirmation</b>" box is already checked. You get it for FREE when you purchase flat rate postage online! How cool is that?!!! :)<br />
7. Click on "<b><i>Next: Review your Cart</i></b>".<br />
8. Verifty the mailing address then click on "<b><i>Next: Billing Information</i></b>".<br />
9. Follow the instructions to pay for the postage.<br />
10. Print the mailing label out. Trim it and tape it to the box.<br />
11. Your package is now ready for mailing. Either drop it off at the
post office (you can simply put it in the package drop box inside) or <a href="https://tools.usps.com/go/ScheduleAPickupAction%21input.action" target="_blank">schedule a pick up online</a>.</span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><u>SAVINGS:</u> <i>Did you notice that you only paid $14.65 online
for postage (large flat rate box), instead of the $15.45 you pay at the
post office? You save $ .80! You also receive FREE Delivery
Confirmation. That is a value of $ .75. For a total savings of $1.55!
Plus you can track the delivery of the package! :)</i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
This may seem like a lot of steps but it's really not. I just tied to
spell it out carefully so I didn't confuse anyone. If you have any
questions you can contact the post office or <a href="mailto:cbyc@att.net" target="_blank">me (Cherise)</a>
and I'll be happy to help you! It really is an easy process and one
that save you time and money! I know everyone likes that! :)</span>

Today is the last day of the year. In the past, this would
have been the time I would scurry around the house to clean the corners, scrub
the tubs, clear out the spider webs, carrying out the silly superstition that I
must never carry last year’s dirt into next year. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But Christmas day changed that for me. My son, my
daughter and I have custom made a new tradition to bring joy into
our tiny nucleus. For the second year in a row, we went into Chinatown in Philadelphia to stuff ourselves full of Chinese dumplings for lunch. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wouldn’t you know it, of all of the shrimp dumplings made in
the kitchen; my daughter ate the only one which accidentally had a peanut wrapped
inside. With her heart racing, her lips swelling up, her chest
pounding with pain, her lungs shutting down, I rushed her to the nearest
hospital I could find. I stood helplessly and watched a room full of nurses
and doctors inject in her arm shot after shot of some powerful stuff to get her
breathing again. We all knew her airways were open again when she began to
scream as the medicines rushed through her bloodstream. It turns out the
feeling of sheer terror is a common side effect when one's veins are injected with pure
adrenaline. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I sat for hours waiting for her to regain
consciousness and for the observation period to end. I had time to think. I think
that was the moment I realized my gaze had been focused on the
wrong point of my horizon. 2012 was a hard year for us. It was a year of
financial crises, medical emergencies which brought on more financial crises, a
hardworking year. I plowed through each problem, solving it then preparing to work on the next one. A lot was resolved; in fact groundwork was laid
for success in 2013. But instead of joy, all I had left in me was
exhaustion. Not sadness, not depression, just plain tiredness. But on Christmas
day, my baby almost died, and then she didn’t, just that fast.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2012 has plenty of reasons for rejoicing. There were
many opportunities to fail, but we didn’t.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

with plays of light and shadows, always with the quiet message of “hey,
maybe I could do that too if I took a class.” I am thankful to know Holly in

healing. I look forward to deepening our friendship.</div>

Years ago, when I was
22, I joined the army in hopes of learning Russian at the Defense Language
Institute. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t let me choose my language until after I
raised my right hand and gave the oath to support and defend the Constitution
of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, etc, etc. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I was finished swearing in, I was told all
the Russian classes were full. I chose instead to learn Arabic, Egyptian
dialect. I did well at the language school, but they taught us military
vocabulary back then, not people vocab. I could give the grid square
coordinates to call an airstrike in fluent Egyptian, but it was real tough to
order a cup of coffee in Cairo after shopping in the wonderful Suqs. Reagan was
president then, and we were still operating with a Cold War mindset. I have
read that the army has drastically changed their training techniques since then
and their language training is focused on people skills with a much
more practical vocabulary</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Now, with dear Masha’s help, I can learn Russian in the most
important context of all – love. Love of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>creating art and beauty.</div>

conduit for her love. Last year, she actually made 2 full size quilts for her
kid’s teachers to express her appreciation for the work in her kids’ lives. Then
she made a raffle quilt to raise funds for a scholarship fund. On top of that,
she manages several round robins. I sense that Michele will probably end up a
significant driving force in the quilting industry.</div>

Sheila’s blog is a source of comfort to me. Her posts center on her quilting,
her grand kids, and what’s on the stove for supper. After my bus is late and I’m
stuck in pouring down rain, when I get home tired and hungry and no energy to
carry through the evening I sit and log on to Sheila’s blog. It’s one of those
feel good places I go to seek comfort. I’ll read a post of a sewing lesson she
gave her grand kids, a quick recipe she made, a whimsical sock puppet she put
together, then I get off the couch into the kitchen and get dinner
going. Her blog reminds me of that home we all pass by at night, where the lights
are on with the curtains still open to the living room. And you peek in to see
a glimpse of a family sharing a joke. All seems calm and happy there and you
wish you were a part of that. Sheila, thanks for that feeling of comfort and
quiet courage you give me. </div>

I am growing tired of staring at this thing on my design wall, and I'm anxious to come to a resolution.<br />
My latest try to choose a background that would better represent a forest, was the following.<br />
<br />
I drew a picture of a tree with no leaves, then I cut out the template to make some trees out of black construction paper to audition the idea.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga_8BOANcM53mN_K-d6lB4x6lzu_6d8rZPwLCz6RyzAAvyOh0_1wOIjAKtmJMqRRvMc0msgP_kmhvNVEiksGiHj1i5zZloD1SqmWX9imge1hnlj3ARMuJ0bz3aJQ7Cj7OJYGAa7jxHBA8/s1600/IMG_1466.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga_8BOANcM53mN_K-d6lB4x6lzu_6d8rZPwLCz6RyzAAvyOh0_1wOIjAKtmJMqRRvMc0msgP_kmhvNVEiksGiHj1i5zZloD1SqmWX9imge1hnlj3ARMuJ0bz3aJQ7Cj7OJYGAa7jxHBA8/s320/IMG_1466.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
I liked the results enough to go a little further by making a prototype to see how laborious it would be, and whether it worked against the pale blue and gold background.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started first by piecing together a small prototype of the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx9f2uYUlT0iV2kr7ees6uppWwEKha8sH75ul8HksfwURxhXCMCoGBVVHecVjCGSFqqqPFbkMiAxKwaDteTHQ75sWknoMOH-4aLzaRqB1AM3iFZDQKvZKFnjNbxaQ9zyFCaYOaycvIc-A/s1600/IMG_1443.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx9f2uYUlT0iV2kr7ees6uppWwEKha8sH75ul8HksfwURxhXCMCoGBVVHecVjCGSFqqqPFbkMiAxKwaDteTHQ75sWknoMOH-4aLzaRqB1AM3iFZDQKvZKFnjNbxaQ9zyFCaYOaycvIc-A/s320/IMG_1443.jpg" width="222" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I drew the design on the back of some tear away stabilizer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NGZ1nR-GlM-yQcoQwPZm5py7ky_ZXSyQRZrMY4jQvihTY8PEqdbYtKSQbvD6al_8oSJ4xKdOAskFRbDasaLFC752o16s7-Eqv3V2DsrPIRdeT3LiOjs7uwlJ3-Yz1IsClFF1xM6cNoQ/s1600/IMG_1440.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6NGZ1nR-GlM-yQcoQwPZm5py7ky_ZXSyQRZrMY4jQvihTY8PEqdbYtKSQbvD6al_8oSJ4xKdOAskFRbDasaLFC752o16s7-Eqv3V2DsrPIRdeT3LiOjs7uwlJ3-Yz1IsClFF1xM6cNoQ/s320/IMG_1440.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQkJ5omqZwKiveJaBUrr-fQV81H6c6QCWzTB5D1ynmHyJsITn53ZtNv06sK9EX9nWYc_R5GAMflQHEJZ99Tj3dO_-_NbJdp3t9sCQyQ4YNUql1T5N9ZCwLwqpguBzkCT7QzrJoUMHjg18/s1600/IMG_1442.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQkJ5omqZwKiveJaBUrr-fQV81H6c6QCWzTB5D1ynmHyJsITn53ZtNv06sK9EX9nWYc_R5GAMflQHEJZ99Tj3dO_-_NbJdp3t9sCQyQ4YNUql1T5N9ZCwLwqpguBzkCT7QzrJoUMHjg18/s320/IMG_1442.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once my template was transferred, I made a sandwich with the black fabric front side down, the background fabric right side to black fabric wrong side, then the stabilizer. Then I held the 3 together with a basting stitch.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn9Yh-r02zMRhldvsshWVYgmxZKWiSI2nGaofi7JOmd5uoD6L3YC-nADV3kavtd2MYA8SfC2NkR30YDPuRB1VNqkaStEqoAp8mjnv_MfA12zAEf9zjVmwT066iqt34C0N3ixcgFu15Gj0/s1600/IMG_1448.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn9Yh-r02zMRhldvsshWVYgmxZKWiSI2nGaofi7JOmd5uoD6L3YC-nADV3kavtd2MYA8SfC2NkR30YDPuRB1VNqkaStEqoAp8mjnv_MfA12zAEf9zjVmwT066iqt34C0N3ixcgFu15Gj0/s320/IMG_1448.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I set my stitch length to very short, then carefully and slowly stitched along the markings on the stabilizer until every line was covered. This took a while. The one mistake here, is that I used a blue thread so I could see more easily the outline on the black fabric. My eyes aren't that strong, and I hoped it would help somewhat. We'll get to that in a minute.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIZDV5QeyHPtXq1Kyv_2wajawoKG8nZZw5vXW1ZBwoe21AyVTthMzAEn0KCsIr915bMnQP_B1q_j0rBHwo1XDvZMTpoOCnTtcpVg9Od4VJVVnVNFJl6GgfI3g2LsIBVX8Ecu_kjes-hjc/s1600/IMG_1452.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIZDV5QeyHPtXq1Kyv_2wajawoKG8nZZw5vXW1ZBwoe21AyVTthMzAEn0KCsIr915bMnQP_B1q_j0rBHwo1XDvZMTpoOCnTtcpVg9Od4VJVVnVNFJl6GgfI3g2LsIBVX8Ecu_kjes-hjc/s320/IMG_1452.jpg" width="282" /></a></div>
I flipped the sandwich over, then marked in chalk the negative areas I would cut away.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpMmiWUy1vNoQ8XGiWnXqTpQ71NVwPPxsCQuiE3ZufynWuss5G-9bl0Wlw2vfByPgG0CcGs84suq0u2hPJuSJZzlKDeef4x1OxfMQptSW3gXw2lvXoIrX2OuVrxzkX8rDi4ozJfL6TONU/s1600/IMG_1455.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpMmiWUy1vNoQ8XGiWnXqTpQ71NVwPPxsCQuiE3ZufynWuss5G-9bl0Wlw2vfByPgG0CcGs84suq0u2hPJuSJZzlKDeef4x1OxfMQptSW3gXw2lvXoIrX2OuVrxzkX8rDi4ozJfL6TONU/s320/IMG_1455.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once I cut away the negative areas with small, sharp scissors, This was what was left.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUrSKO4YdUiqsJAfbneugy58SuKXCOvA2B4FtItImFIFzVaBoWFpyFZsyPIFE7uN4Uih-t6Tl7EXQlYCoAlPK0U2PQ6JXisoHTN4mfDP_9vgOicOjFVTJ4m3WmLDtLOq8j0RV8yk405x4/s1600/IMG_1459.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUrSKO4YdUiqsJAfbneugy58SuKXCOvA2B4FtItImFIFzVaBoWFpyFZsyPIFE7uN4Uih-t6Tl7EXQlYCoAlPK0U2PQ6JXisoHTN4mfDP_9vgOicOjFVTJ4m3WmLDtLOq8j0RV8yk405x4/s320/IMG_1459.jpg" width="223" /></a></div>
<br />
I then began to satin stitch around the branches, which is where I struggled with the blue thread. My Janome doesn't do satin stitches well, and the blue kept peeking through. <br />
Even so, it is very dramatic and I like it. But I think the contrast is too stark for this quilt. Plus, I think I will use a technique my machine can more easily handle. I'm looking now at internet photos of birch forests and am now considering adding some tall, narrow, deep grey birch trees to the background to help the eye travel to the sunset rather than just jump there. I'll finish the satin stitching on this block and maybe add it to the back with my signature.<br />

I liked it, but didn't know what to do with it. Some of the quilters spent a lot of time carefully piecing their borders to my quilt and I wanted to honor that. Some of the other borders needed to be resewn to the quilt top with proper 1/4" seams since the fabric was already beginning to fray. So I started first by deconstructing it. And as I did, I wondered how I could use it. I'm one of those people who likes my art to be functional.<br />
<br />
Then suddenly yesterday morning, I remembered my torn up plastic Ziploc bag in my purse used to carry my hand applique, scissors, thread and needles to get some handwork done on the train to work in the mornings. I decided to make myself a proper pouch to carry those supplies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I didn't know much about modern, but I do love a good mystery, so I decided to join in.<br />
<br />
Now, 6 months later, we have all finished the monthly send around and most of us have received our quilt tops or will soon receive them. I'm still not sure what was so modern about it, but it was pretty interesting.<br />
<br />
I started my modern mini mystery journey with this as my center block.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For the first month of my add on, I added a pieced border to this block.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGdWfzMzOg0vTDDIEeaRNyuTRHzP4jVz_d5JM5qGwTILXWfsoY8gtIW_VxbI7VuJvh8pqCUE2MocjJGCDZtPNRuO-9sKyTRkkim-j7ELSg1Uu-tTUFfSJeIEjIHinWDVqy20jMADp0NDs/s1600/P4210017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGdWfzMzOg0vTDDIEeaRNyuTRHzP4jVz_d5JM5qGwTILXWfsoY8gtIW_VxbI7VuJvh8pqCUE2MocjJGCDZtPNRuO-9sKyTRkkim-j7ELSg1Uu-tTUFfSJeIEjIHinWDVqy20jMADp0NDs/s320/P4210017.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Next came this bright, breezy block.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXG0MwSWqjFMygfTg6rv4weOixnRzxA4cASLbrus8bned76X9nCMULOmLlfkUsz7o1deA53g9fBFZtsqlv9wrlFlwWtGIomRFwb5kcC3RYbak3nUBMEfqDfrKoA_0mw7G1dpf7ibHxuhY/s1600/P4210021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXG0MwSWqjFMygfTg6rv4weOixnRzxA4cASLbrus8bned76X9nCMULOmLlfkUsz7o1deA53g9fBFZtsqlv9wrlFlwWtGIomRFwb5kcC3RYbak3nUBMEfqDfrKoA_0mw7G1dpf7ibHxuhY/s320/P4210021.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
I did others, but I guess I forgot to take their pictures. But here is another one, where I tried to bring the center colors back into the border.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5uYtFRorhe53p5vuaTvnCotScJ0SeYpUJA-sQXf9LhpFwbGCkY9B1izolYQIvkhB4kVfyazfqi19dtJPAOM2G9ceK0IiXDOW11YkNwmgIb8GI8-YWNo-ZoOMybb3-tTBr0GD3PUxZDI8/s1600/IMG_1229.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5uYtFRorhe53p5vuaTvnCotScJ0SeYpUJA-sQXf9LhpFwbGCkY9B1izolYQIvkhB4kVfyazfqi19dtJPAOM2G9ceK0IiXDOW11YkNwmgIb8GI8-YWNo-ZoOMybb3-tTBr0GD3PUxZDI8/s320/IMG_1229.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Then the last one I had to work on was this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiijJ39Q4y8ukfgxYBeDUrugkYuuA44rtIUfb0yOpYJ-w37A1lXmZN53wXpDRhQv56Wpe-5F27LmzfQcQQVP47FMULcrAE10L5oIaOKmB3EEefoL8wd2JtGW_upfSjUddSoIHfqMB-9mmY/s1600/IMG_1304.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiijJ39Q4y8ukfgxYBeDUrugkYuuA44rtIUfb0yOpYJ-w37A1lXmZN53wXpDRhQv56Wpe-5F27LmzfQcQQVP47FMULcrAE10L5oIaOKmB3EEefoL8wd2JtGW_upfSjUddSoIHfqMB-9mmY/s320/IMG_1304.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
And last, here is a photo of my quilt top which is on its way to me.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimmvGlK3CfQa0zUDM9iKEBV9rvGVnodx1IUPuZd0O7x4XhaKYIX5EepAWIsQBTq_x5jnAVLDix3JdxWPE_LcIM3jX4fzhgHKcf2Nbjq3TVbTE057pXTOgtV0XAHZJOIwiC4EO3bGsX89c/s1600/DSCN0899.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimmvGlK3CfQa0zUDM9iKEBV9rvGVnodx1IUPuZd0O7x4XhaKYIX5EepAWIsQBTq_x5jnAVLDix3JdxWPE_LcIM3jX4fzhgHKcf2Nbjq3TVbTE057pXTOgtV0XAHZJOIwiC4EO3bGsX89c/s320/DSCN0899.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I'm looking forward to seeing it first hand.<br />
If you want a great sightseeing tour, take a trip to the following pages and look at all the other quilt tops that transpired over the summer. And thanks Michele, this was fun!<br />

I pray for your health and your sanity as you navigate the endless rounds of paperwork and bureaucracy you face to restore your lives to a new normal. I ache for you who have lost loved ones, family pets and prized possessions during the storm. In my solar plexus I feel pain when I view the photographs of the streets I used to walk on. I spent so many summers as a child on the Jersey Shores. So much so, it felt really strange the day I moved to Florida many years ago and had to start using the word "beach" so that the natives knew what I meant. </span></span><br />

felt so strange to have power when all around us lost theirs. Where we
live just outside of Philadelphia, the trees came tumbling down like
dominoes. Streets were closed and homes were cut off with live wires
blocking the paths.

I spent last week working on the Autumn 2012 project, assembling blocks made from beautifully hand dyed fabrics and laces from such talented artists such as Tatyana, Masha, and <span style="line-height: 24px;">Tihonciuc. I loved opening these envelopes from Europe and see tumbling out rich autumn colors, and beautiful cards. <span style="font-size: large;">As I stitched these together, I noticed that my breathing slowed as my mind drifted away from the present ugliness outside and moved closer to the rich colors and pure beauty I was honored to use. Pure, primal therapy. Thank you ladies, I truly needed this project to clear my mind.</span>This week I will be sending these ba<span style="font-size: large;">ck to you for </span>the final step, which will be to embellish with embroidery and hidden treasures.</span></span></span><br />

Well Meg, I've never been this late before, but I took the opportunity to use your swap block to alleviate some storm stress. I have titled this block, "<i>Hurricane Sandy</i>".

This quilt has been the toughest one I've made so far, mainly because I wasn't following a pattern. And at the same time, I found it easier to sustain an interest in this project, because I had no idea what I would do next with it. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's hard to believe that I started with this,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6qg-f6d6ZdR4ZtDbWP8D3KURKnLB3YLygmSGw8LEUvO6lQM7JcQYpeYlI8s5wIbBhHB0ogl-eZ-VDbqgu9qC1Dbg9_q8h0ZDTPVoewFBtA83mT683a6ojV7deAC7ZJkquKCopB2rW1R4/s1600/IMG_1039.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6qg-f6d6ZdR4ZtDbWP8D3KURKnLB3YLygmSGw8LEUvO6lQM7JcQYpeYlI8s5wIbBhHB0ogl-eZ-VDbqgu9qC1Dbg9_q8h0ZDTPVoewFBtA83mT683a6ojV7deAC7ZJkquKCopB2rW1R4/s640/IMG_1039.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and it turned out to be this. All because dd said, "Those look like leaves. Can you make me a tree quilt instead? I want it to be dark and haunting."</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHkk_MF8GvEoeDRFNrUASwU7BBNyYisHF4Lm7Aezsd_fZLbhsUfIXXKgb_NRVj6FfN5vizOI5AqShHiOOCvHbStVA7q_SvC5LvYTcP7KVPtgVuBgA1uUg3y8Lc6P20XNYiLHf5yC3bUUg/s1600/Tree+Quilt+Background.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHkk_MF8GvEoeDRFNrUASwU7BBNyYisHF4Lm7Aezsd_fZLbhsUfIXXKgb_NRVj6FfN5vizOI5AqShHiOOCvHbStVA7q_SvC5LvYTcP7KVPtgVuBgA1uUg3y8Lc6P20XNYiLHf5yC3bUUg/s640/Tree+Quilt+Background.jpg" width="484" /></a></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now that I have the background behind the trees done, and it does resemble a sunset in the distance, a little, I realize that it is no longer dark and haunting. As I was adding the bargello strips in between the tree trunks, I decided I would next applique a silhouette of a tree line of naked branches to break up some of that brightness starting from the top of the black and extending up to the beginning of the blue line. And to balance out the design, the last step will be adding some dried up, wintry forest ground cover to the bottom to create a foreground. </span></span></span>Orange Crumpled Napkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04055834177618192244noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094420342762395272.post-83439066099124645752012-09-02T17:52:00.001-04:002012-09-02T19:59:11.756-04:00All I Needed Was a Little Perspective<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a month since I've last posted and I left it on such a sad note. So a quick update, and back to quilting. Through the advice of a trusted nephew/BMW mechanic, I took the car to a recommended mechanic who looked the transmission over and determined that nothing was wrong with the transmission at all, just an exceptionally hot summer and too much stop and go driving. We're back to using a car again and all is back to normal. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The creative muse returned and a trial attempt at a bargello background was successful. The next steps are to finish up the color patterns and sew it all together. After that, I plan to add additional details with hidden applique items to complete the vision.</span></div>

should go with the background of the Tree quilt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s just not flowing in the direction I have in my mind.
The blocks don’t flow and the colors seem chunky. Fabric is expensive these
days, and I don’t want to keep slicing and dicing until I get it right. I’m
going to examine nature a little harder to see which direction God chose for
these colors and work a little harder to emulate the same.</span></div>

turns out I need a new transmission. How much, you ask? $4,000. Yes,
$4,000.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, I now hear my car is
unsafe to drive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How do I feel
about that? Like Merle Travis felt when he wrote <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiZU2IbDrXU" target="_blank">"16 Tons"</a>, another day older
and deeper in debt. So for the next few weeks, my son and I will use the buses
for everything while we pull our resources, cut back on our indulgences and set
aside what we can. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">When I first heard the news
yesterday afternoon, I immediately retreated into my worst self-destructive
behavior when things get to be ‘too much’. I walked to the grocery store and
bought a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, then ate it. That was stupid.
When I was done hurting myself, I realized I still didn’t feel better, and my
problem wasn’t solved. Time for more self induced therapy and a different type
of avoidance behavior. Instead of sitting down with bills and a spreadsheet to
work through this setback, I went to my sewing room and worked on the block
swap for August.</span></div>

I've been mulling over in my head different ways to approach the background for the "Forest Quilt". What was facing me was a 5x6 foot template on the design wall with only the trees completed, a design change to create a darker background, and my never having "free styled" an art/functional quilt before. I needed a way to decide on color placement that was easy to manage. </div>

<div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I decided to build a template to scale of the trees, by photocopying the sketch I made, then cutting out the tree trunks. I then cut out tiny pieces from each of my colors and auditioned them
on a grey fabric, as I found a white background too distracting. I pulled out all the teals and bright colors to see what I had left to work with.</div>

But then I found the sketch copy too distracting, for it read as a bunch of white sticks. To work out that solution, I grabbed that grey crumb block I made a couple months ago, redesigned it as a rectangle, then carefully cut out the tree trunks from that. I now had a template that accurately portrayed the fabrics used in the trunks.</div>

Next, I realized I didn't have enough dark fabric, and needed to round out my stash. For the record, I have a small stash compared to other quilters. Come on, I've seen your brag pictures and your studio photos. I have a different mindset. My kids and I have moved around every 18 months or so since 2003, and before that, there was the 11 years in the military. We have learned to tread lightly on this planet and only own what we need, not necessarily what we want. When I plan a quilt, I do my best to use what is on hand, and only buy yardage for a specific project. So off to the store I ran. I hit up two stores in the area, <a href="http://clothandbobbin.com/" target="_blank">Cloth and Bobbin</a> for some deep blues and blacks, then I went on to explore <a href="http://www.lonnirossi.com/" target="_blank">Lonni Rossi</a> to finish up the palette. I'm glad I went. Ms Rossi is a wonderful lady who was launching her new line of fabrics, "French Twist", and was having a party today to celebrate. She talked me into adding a deep gold/brown to add sparkle in the night. I'm glad I did. I came home to make a Mariner's Compass out of that, which I will show you later.</div>
<div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
After all fabrics were washed, dried and ironed, I cut off pieces of those and completed the audition.</div>

I think I have a pretty good plan moving forward. The background will be a combination of leaf blocks, winding way blocks and a couple of stars here and there, all subtle and monochromatic. The trees will be the stars of this show, but they will have an amazing group of backup singers.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #444444;">"I want the colors to be like that song,</span> <a href="http://togrool.com/download-oddfellows-casino-youve-come-to-these-woods-to-hunt-me-595289.xhtml" style="color: #073763;" target="_blank">"You've Come to These Woods to Hunt Me."</a><span style="color: #073763;"> </span></i>This is her current favorite song, a haunting, melancholy melody befitting of any young, teenage girl seeking her voice as she merges into adulthood. I listened to this song again, more closely, transcribing the lyrics. I marveled at my daughter's vision, her way of seeing color when she hears a song. And these are such sad lyrics,</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Classic emotions for someone who is seeking a quest of what, they are not sure of. It made me pause and remember again what it was like to be 14. It wasn't an easy time at all, I do remember that. I decided after some thought to redirect this quilt again to try to encapsulate this time, that emotion, or more pointedly, those whirl of feelings, that time in life when one was never sure which thought might surface or when, and only hoping that the appropriate response would appear when needed. When speaking or engaging felt so overwhelming at times, all one could do was stand still like a statue. I will try my best to honor all of that behind the trees. I also plan to intertwine my own, motherly love to help guide her through that fog.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I do remember fondly, my children's innocence when they were so young, before they found out that sadness and evil existed. I came across this YouTube video today of this preschooler painting and wanted to share it with you. But you've seen it already, I bet, since over a million viewers have. This little one just had her first gallery opening in New York last month at the tender age of five, where she sold all of her paintings the first week.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As I watched it, I had so many thoughts and questions that ran through my mind as a mom.</span></div>
<ul style="color: #351c75; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<li style="color: #7f6000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>How in the world did they remove all that paint from her hair? </i></span></li>
<li style="color: #7f6000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>I wish I had the wisdom to set aside a room in my home for my own kids to do this.</i></span></li>
<li style="color: #7f6000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Jeesh! That's alot of paint and canvas! Isn't that expensive? </i></span></li>
<li style="color: #7f6000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>She looks so confident and focused, and sure of herself.</i></span></li>
<li style="color: #7f6000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>How cool it must be to just play in my art like that and not worry about the end result. </i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="color: #7f6000;">If only I had set up just one session like this in Children's Church. I bet then, they would never had asked me again to run it. Then I wouldn't have been left by myself to manage without help for three years.</i></span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I'll stop here. I've saddle you already with pictures of failed blocks, sad music and videos of over indulged children. (That last comment is mainly due to my being a neat freak coupled with being secretly jealous of all that fearlessness.)</span></div>Orange Crumpled Napkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04055834177618192244noreply@blogger.com6
