"Boo-tiful Scrap-a-long!"

 Hey quilter's...hope you're having a great week. My day starting off with a anxiety walk then my sweet neighbor showed me all of her quilts she's been working on. It's funny how fabric...sewing...seeing quilts calms me and bring me joy. She gave her quilts the old school "tying" which I love. Tying quilts has been around forever! It's a great way to finish quilts es[ecially if you're short on time. I also feel it would be a fun summer project for kiddos too. I remember many of times "tying quilts" with Oma at the hospital when someone is in surgery. It's a "pack up & go" with the need of no sewing machine. Just a few hands :-) Super sweet memories that I'll cherish forever. Well today I wanted to share w/y'all my progress of this "fun-ctional table runner" that I'm making. I'm using "Hey Boo" Layer Cake by Moda Fabrics...designed by Lella Boutique. The pattern "Hello Pumpkin" is from Missouri Star Quilt Company. I'm following the instructions within the pattern but just making a runner. The instructions are super easy that I might have to add the full quilt to my "bucket list." I love a pattern that inspires me to create something different but still using their awesome designs. I've pieced my squares using Aurifil 50# thread & currently working on  a "scrappy-border." This fabric is sew cute that I can't waste any of it :-) I don't know about you but it's never too soon for Halloween sewing. Especially if you're like me....I'm a bit slow these days so I love to be piecing a design and having one that I'm quilting on too. I pop between them depending on my pain level. Geez :-) Speaking of designs...we have a lot of fun projects happening in June & I'll be giving you a "sneak peek" real soon. I wanted to challenge myself this year...learn new blocks...techniques and will admit it's been a blast! I guess you can teach an old quilter new techniques ;-) If y'all need supplies my link to Missouri Star Quilt Company will save you 20% off $50. or more for the month of May. Thanks so much for following and talk soon!

Tuesday confession..."I love ironing & this ironing board cover by Missouri Star Quilt Company!"

 Hey quilter's...hope all is well and you had a restful Memorial day weekend. My heart and prayers are with everyone who's lives was devastated by the Tornados. It was near my family but all safe but seeing the news is heart-breaking. Life is precious. We all know it but when weather hits near by it really is a reality. Memorial Day was one of my dear late dads favorite Holiday. Being a Military man he really honored the Holiday. I reminisced a lot Monday. In fact one of my favorite pics of him is on my "facebook page" of him on Memorial Day. I'm sure he was celebrating up in heaven! I spent the day also "organizing my sewing area"...yes I call it area due to "temporary downsizing." I gave up my sewing/quilting room when we moved to Florida 3 yrs. ago to help my late mom-in-law. I'm hoping real soon that I find a home back in Texas. It's been a long journey and can't wait to have my sewing room again. But will say on the "downsizing" note that it taught me to be more organized and clever :-) I had to overcome some of my O.C.D issues "only Cat does" but I'm trying! As a designer I should be perfectly fine coming up with creative ways to save space...right? Hmm...will admit y'all it's been challenging. I will be sharing some organizing tips with y'all in hopes to inspire others that might be in the same situation. On the O.C.D. note...I love to iron. I feel it's very therauputic & realaxing. Maybe it's the cup of coffee too! I love the Missouri Star Quilt Company's ironing board cover. The quality is amazing & it's super cute! Yes...that is important :-) The cover is made of 100% cotton & the one piece preofessional fiber felt pad is 5mm thick...easy fit elastic & it's 54L x 15"w. I used to keep my ironing board "up" in my quilting room but now I do need to tuck away when not in use. But will say...it might get learned near my antique craft hutch sometimes. The color hue is perfect to inspire your creativity. I't sure makes ironing a joy! I was so thrilled with my "new addition" that I ironed my Quilt Backs from Missouri Star Quilt compamy. The Tossed Missouri Star wide backs is 110". So having a great ironing board is essential and will say y'all that quality of this cover is perfect! Chuck love it too. Did you see him in the pic? MSQC now has a "Chuck template." Oh my gosh y'all...he really is super cute :-) I'' be sharing pics of upcoming projects in hope to inspire y'all to "Scrap-a-long" w/me. My link to MSQC will save you 20% off $50. or more for the month of May on supplies. Oh....I'll also be sharing the 2nd part of "America...Sew Beautiful" reall soon :-) I thank y'all so much for following and talk soon!

America...Sew Beautiful "Party-Point Trivet" 4 Entertaining!

 Hey quilter's...well it's finally Friday! I wish for y'all to have a restful long Holiday weekend. I know I'll be doing my usual but that's o.k. too. I'm excited to share w/ y'all the trivet to go along with the "Party-Point-Celebration" Runner. Yes, I always make a trivet but it does have a positive note. I love to have a coordinating trivet for entertaining but this also lets me practice my quilting for the runner too. I love to see what style/stitches that I can do within the design on a small scale. I've been sharing basic quilting techniques geared toward the new beginner levels of quilting but you can always do advanced techniques. I've even stepped way out of my comfort zone and created a "reel" this morning. I'm hoping I can upload to share here on blog. I seriously need my 14 yr. old grandson :-) The trivet is used with "Insul-bright" for hot/cold items that I add in after I've quilted my block. Less bulk then I top stitch at end to secure all layers. This is the first collection of the 3-part Series "America...Sew Beautiful," Celebrating & Honoring our Country. I'll be sharing the next project real soon. If you need supplies my link to Missouri Star Quilt Company will save you 20% off $50. or more for the month of May. I hope y'all have a Blessed weekend...doing what you enjoy! Thank y'all so much for following and have a great Memorial weekend!

America...Sew Beautiful."Party- Point- Celebration!" Runner is Ready!

Hey quilter's...hope all is going great. I'm excited to share the "Party-Point-Celebration" runner is ready for your festivities. I love the fabric by Riley Blake Designs. It's perfect for Memorial Day...4th of July...Labor day and the size is very fun-ctionable. The size is perfect for boating...rv'ng...camping. The runner finishes out 11 1/4 x 31 and can be easily enlarged to accomodate your entertaining needs. All you need to do is add more "party-point" blocks. I love a design that can be used many ways. If you want more of a summer design just add a sweet colloection of fun vibrant fabrics. Missouri Star Quilt Company has many new lines available for all your decor entertaining. I have to share a funny situation with "Chuck" yesterday. During our photo shoot by the lake we might have had a close call. Yes...the wind picked up and Chuck almost went swimming with a gator near by. I had no idea the gator was watching us...sneaky raskals they are! I had to a "quilt clip" to secure him to the runner. We didn't have much sun light for the photo and the water came out a bit dark but that's o.k. Sometimes it's just nice to get out and relax by the water even it's a bit windy. I like to do embroider outside. Especially when their is a bit of a breeze. Very relaxing. I alway's preach..."thread and fabric therapy." I wish for you this long holiday weekend is to take the time to relax. Do what brings you joy. This runner is the first of the 3-Part Series..."America Sew Beautiful" to Celebrate & Honor our Country. My link to MSQC w/save you 20% off $50. or more for the month of May.

Cats Tip of the Day! "Aurifil thread & Clover Chaco Liner pen"

 Hey quilter's...hope you're having a great week and doing what you love. I day "doing what you love" because life flies by too quickly. I was text'd some pics of my girlfriends daughter who's daughter was doing the "Senior Walk" at my daughter's school where she is a counselor. Oh my gosh...three generations of amazing women. Seems like yesterday our girls where in high school themselves. I love seeing the pics and especially seeing the pics of how everyone's family has grown. Just makes me feel old :-) But that's life as they say but it sure does go by too fast. Enjoy everyday...the best way possible. My late dads last words were "don't get upset over things you can't change." Boy does that ring in my head daily! Well there is a lot of celebration going & feels like "Memorial Day" is the weekend that kicks it all off. I just finished quilting my "America...Sew Beautiful" Party Point Celebration runner & wanted to share a few quilting tips w/y'all. I know we sometimes "especially me" hate to mark lines on the fabric for quilting. I do use the "heat eraseable" pens although a lot of quilter's don't agree but it works for me. I don't plan on ever being in freezing temps again for the marks to come back :-) I recently started using the Chaco Liner pen by Clover and I'm truly enjoying how it marks on fabrics. It's very easy to use with the tapered point and I just take a damp paper towel once finished quilting to remove any lines. My test on dark fabric turned out great. The American Beauty by Riley Blake Designs has a variety of dark fabric hues and it cleaned up nicely :-) I especially love Aurifil 50 weight thread hues 2260, 2710, 2780. They complimented the fabric colors & prints perfectly. I know items add up quickly when buying itmes for projects so I wanted to share these with y'all. Plus if you're looking for a gift for any crafter/quilter these would be great and affordable too! All supplies can be found on Missouri Star Quilt Company's website and my link will save you 20% off $50. or more for the month of May. I'll be posting my finished runner so check back soon Let's just say "Chuck" had a windy photo session by the lake. Poor guy...I had to clip him so he didn't fall in with the gators :-) I thank y'all so much for following and talk soon!

America...Sew Beautiful.."Party-Point-Celebration!" Phase 2

 Hey quilter's...hope your week is off to a great start. The weekend flew by too fast for me. I did some cooking...trying new recipes and sewing of course. I do things in moderation but not going to give up on what I love. Speaking of love....my sweet grandson hit a home run yesterday. I am one proud Gege! He is only 13 but his ethics amaze me for his age. He focuses on his school work...sports and sometimes cleaning his room :-) Ha..just kidding. He recently sent a pic of his new "teenage" room and I was amazed. He's very minimal...clean lined for his age. I love it when he ask's me questions about design. Still makes me feel important even though I'm retired from the "design world." I do believe that's why I love sewing/quilting. It gives me the creative out that my brain needs. They both are rewarding. Designing gave me the opportunity to make families happy & quilting gives me the chance to share designs & techniques hoping to inspire others. I know sounds corny but it really brings me joy! Speaking of...I hope y'all enjoyed Phase 1 of the "Party-Point-Celebration" runner. This next phase is very simple which will give you ample time to put your own quilting spin on it. I did a coordinating "trivet" to practice my quilting stitches that I'll be sharing soon. You know me...I like to practice a new design by making a "trivet"...they are fun-ctional and fun! Oh check out Aurifils thread hues...they compliment this fabric line perfectly. All supplies can be found on Missouri Star Quilt Company's website and my link will save you 20% off $50. or more for the month of May. I thank y'all so much for following. Enjoy!

America...Sew Beautiful..."Party-Point Celebration!" Phase 1

 Hey quilter's...hope your having a great weekend. I hope the weather is being kind if you're having graduation ceremonies. I remember 2 yrs. ago when my daughter Graduated with her Masters Degree and we had the craziest storm hi in Houston Texas. Yes...just in time for us getting out of the car going into the auditorium. We looked like a bunch of wet rats. I will admit she was the prettiest young lady going across the stage to recieve her diploma. Yes...I'm one proud momma! So no matter the weather....enjoy this precious time...you may have a crazy story like me to tell later in life :-) Well along with graduation celebrations we have Memorial weekend...4th of July & Labor Day Holidays approaching. Trust me...they will be here before long. I will be celebrating a 3-Part Series "America...Sew Beautiful" for our  holiday entertaing plus home decor. I love decor that you can use more than once and I believe "I naild it" as my grandson would say. :-) I'll be sharing two fun-ctional runners...the first with a very fun texhnique...the second coming soon featuring a new technique I created then we're going to make a "lap quilt" together. Yes...I'll be showing how fun & easy it is to make a lap quilt from a panel. This would be a great beginner project for you or teach the kiddos to sew/quilt on a small lever for a summer activity. It's hard to believe summer will be here soon & you'll be seeking those actitivities to entertain the kiddos. I always say "time flies by fast" and it definately does in my sewing room. So let me tell you about the first fabric collection. It's American Beauty by Riley Blake Designs. I'm using the 10" stackers along with half a yard of the white paisley and then I chose  a yard of blue print for my backing and accents. The yardage amount will alow you to make both runners. Make one for you and give one as a gift :-) That's what I'm doing. My son-a-law served two tours in Iraq so this design will be for her table. They love to honor him and decorate for these special holiday's and remember others who have and are serving as well.The pinwheel design was inspired by my sweet grandson of how he loved to hold the patriotic pinwheel flags and watch them blow. Tears! Special times we'll cherish forever. For the quilting...I used Aurifil 50# thread to piece and quilt the designs and all supplies can be found on Missouri Star Quilt Comapny's webiste. My link will save you 20% off $50. or more for the month of May. I love it when the extend a great discount! Plus if you know me I'll be sharing a "trivet" to compliment the runner along with some easy & d'lish recipes too! I thank y'all for following and keep chcecking in because we have a lot of exciting projects happening. Enjoy!

Party Point Celebration Runner...

Tip...This design can be easily enlarged to accomodate your entertaining needs just by adding more blocks!

Here's all you do...

For each block....

* Select 2 blue 10" squares for the 4 patch square.

* One red 10" square.

* One white print 10" square.

Note...alternate the fabrics for each block.

Tip....I layed out all the fabric squares to get an idea of how I wanted to group my squares. This fabric collection is so stunning! :-)

*  Rotary cut one blue 10" square in half...equals 2...5 x 10" pieces.

* Rotary cut one 5 x 10 in piece in half to equal 2... 5 x 5 " squares...set the other aside :-)

* Repeat for the other blue 10" square.

* Lay in a 4 patch design with fabric hues opposite of each other.

* Rotary cut your red & white 10" square in the same manner.

Make the Party-Points...

* For each block you will use 2 5x5 squares of red/white fabrics.

* Fold one 5 x5 square in half..press...fold in half again to form the triangle...press.

* Repeat for all 4 squares.

* Place your "party-points" per design...matching the raw edge side of the triangle to the square.

* Pin and sew a scant 1/8" seam to secure the triangle in place.

Note... Sew squares 2gether to form the four patch design being careful when joining the pinwheels. It will be a tad-bit bulky in center so "sew slow" to secure. :-) 

* Sew top 2 squares with right side 2gether using a 1/4" seam...press

* Repeat for bottom 2 squares then join the 2 rows together at center. press.

Repeat for all 3 blocks or as many as you desire for your entertaining needs.

Check back soon for Phase 2 & finishing.

I added an inner pocket using my scraps to hold keys...cell phone..."Chuck" :-) The pattern is sew versatile that I could even see this as a great "Baby Shower gift" for a new mom.

"Updated Three Totes One Charm Pack Pattern" by Missouri Star Quilt Company

"Hexagon-Heirloom Fun-ctional Table Runner"

 Hey quilters....hope your having a great week. I've been play "project catch-up." I was waiting for my accent fabric to arrive to finish my "Fun-ctional Table Decor" using Ingrids Wildflowers Heirloom embroidery kit by Missouri Star Quilt Co. This kit is super fun plus having a special tribute to Jenny Doans grandmother makes it extra special. My grandmother taught me to embroider as a child so embroidering the squares brought back a lot of memories for me. I "dabbled" in embroidery thoughout my adult life...initialed "hankies" for my dad for Christmas every year but not serious until this kit came about. I wanted to challenge myself in 2024...try new tips & techniques so this design is very special for me to share. The kit comes with a beautful quilt that is a tribute to "Ingrid" but I knew with my projects that a quilt would be a bit difficult to finish. I wanted to make sure that I did a special tribute to this awesome kit as well. I love "fun-ctional decor"...I love entertaining & especially when I can have a "centerpiece" that is fun-ctional. I used the Missouri Star Quilt Town white to really show the embroidery detail and the uncorked by Windham Fabrics for my accent & backing. I'm very casual when entertaining so this design highlights that but you could use any fabric to accomodate your decor. My design can be easily enlarged just by adding more blocks. If you haven't tried embroidery this would be a fun kit to start with...it's very therapeutic & you will feel the love with every stitch you make. If you're thinking you don't have  'Hexagon Templates."...no worries...I used the instruction cards & the tin for the template designs :-) Remember less-stress-quilting! I do have more designs coming soon using the other flower design so you have plenty of time to catch up if you don't have the kit already. As always...I thank y'all so much for following and if you need supplies my link to Missouri Star Quilt Co. will save you 20% off $50. or more for the month of May. I love how they exteneded this discount for us to share. We have so many fun Holiday's approaching and if you're like me...well lets just say "I take my time." :-) Enjoy!

Here's all you do...

* Press your hexagon block making sure all seams are flat on back.

One inch Borders...

* Rotary cut accent fabric strip 1 1/2 x 7 ish. Your first one will be roughly 1 1/2 x 4 1/2 as you add your borders you will rotary cut longer strips. 

* Starting at upper right corner sewing clockwise directions...sew your strips to hexagon with right sides 2gether using a quarter in seam allowance. 

* Press & square up as you go

* Repeat this step for 2nd border.

* Repeat same method for 3rd border but w/ uncorked fabric.

Quilting...

* Rotary cut your backing...low-loft batting & insul-bright using the bottom of the Heirloom kit.

Tip...( I used a heat-erasable pen then rotary cut on the lines) 

Layer...Backing facing down...insulbright & batting then your embroidered block right side up.

Pin or clip to secure layers before quilting.

Quilt as desired.

Tip...I quilted in the ditch to accent the "Hexagon design" I started with the "upper right corner" quilted clockwise as in the same direction as you pieced the borders.

Border/Binding...

Yes...the strip in this step is wide due to my border/binding technique. 

* Rotary cut a strip of uncorked fabric to 2" x 7" to start with rmembering your strips will lengthen as you go. Sew in same method as previous borders. Square up & Press.

* Starting at upper right corner fold back border to back leaving a 1/2" binding on front.

* Fold binding on back in half to secure the fold. Clip or pin as desired.

* Continue this method going clockwise until you're reach back to top of block.

* Qult as desired on front of block to secure the fold on back.

Tip...I used Aurifil #2134 & a "crazy stitch" to make sure to catch the seams on the back. No worries if you don't catch all seams on back just use a permanent washable fabric glue to tack areas. :-)

Well mine is not perfect but I truly enjoyed how therapeutic embroidering these designs were. Remember don't stress...take your time & enjoy what you love even if it's in "moderation" like me!

Talk soon,
