Quilting 2013 / 2014

In this past year I have learned to become a long arm quilter. I work a fill time job and have the privileged to work part time at MSQC ( my local quilt shop) on Saturdays. I was asked if I would like to help through the holidays. Well, I am still quilting two nights a week and assist at the shop on Saturdays. I love it!

Free Spirit Fabric

I wish I had a cool project to make with these large prints. I think a whole cloth quilt would be so fun. The rich bright fabric is so bright and fresh. What do you see as a quilt out of this fun line?

New Fabric Lines Me and My Sister Design- Giggles

I bought a new charm pack "Giggles" by Me and My Sisters Design. Any one who knows me, know this is my very favorite fabric designers. I was able to get it for a steal, as a daily deal from Missouri Star Quilt Co.

I have a pattern all picked out to use it with.

So very exciting, now I am patiently waiting for the fabric to hit the quilt shops. Oh, Barb and Mary.... I would take one precut of every line you have. Well I already do have several. I am so excited about the new book coming out in September.

Oh, It's 2013!

End the 2012 out by making the NYE Mystery quilt with my friends at MSQC. Well I have finally finished it and love the pattern so much...I am making 2 more. So In January I started making a baby quilt. I have created a new pattern, I just need to write it out. I have been sewing and quilting in every spare moment, I even took on binding a friends quilt. I would say productive quilting on quilt tops, not so productive quilting.

I met a new quilting friend, Lisa. She is a fun gal. I shared some fun patterns and we had a good meet and greet night with our mutual friend Ericka. I love quilt gals pals. They are fun!!

My best pals Kathy and Lee had a sew day together. We have the best time ever and inspire quilting ideas are always abundant. Lee is such an accomplished artistic quilter. I am looking forward to our next sew day.

Keep on quilting! It is one of my favorite things to do....hope it is yours too!

Quilting and Life

 I had Friday night sew last night and offered to work at the Missouri Star Quilt Company, because I was there anyways. I love my Friday night sew group. Talk about some fun quilters. I was a little lost with out Marcie Regan there. She is one of my dearest quilt friends. She just moved out of state and I miss her terribly.

I was able to finish my Happy Howl"o"ween quilt. I have been working on it for a couple of months and it is done, finally. I took it to the MSQC shop today, since I was able work again. It was the busiest day.  I worked with Ron and Amy. I helped several quilters build their quilts. We had so many out of state quilter come in to visit and check out the new shop. I love helping and working at the shop. It was an awesome day.

It is funny how life gets in the way of my quilting. I love working on and sewing quilts, I just need more time. I have a quilt I would like to create, I have thoughts in my head on what it should look like. I need to draw it out. plan it and create it. I need to make time to work on this.......

Making more quilts

I suppose, I have not been a very interesting blogger. I have been at the sewing machine way too much. Last night at Friday night sew, I was able to finish one of my UFO, with being lucky my friend Megan was at the quilt machine and quilted it for me. I am such a lucky girl. I have cut out 3 baby quilts....so it is back sewing again. I need to get 3 of the 4 quilts tops I have completed to the quilter so I can mark those off my UFO list as well. Also I am still binding the big black & white City Girl quilt.

Now if my car would just drive me to work automatically...hummmm
I could work on binding then. Lol.

Until I get time again to add picture(soon).
I will blog then.....
Keep Quilting
