You're Going to Get Very Sick of our Faces

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Fri, 27 Dec 2019 20:00:00 +0000

We went to the Netherlands and it was amazing. But I must admit that it was long, long ago now, so I'm just going to show a few (thousand) highlights. Mostly just our cute faces enjoying Dutch things.

First, the best part of our trip was the museums. We saw so many amazing collections and objects.

And we also goofed around some.

Seriously, though, the Rijksmuseum had a room full of model ships and Eddy just.

We also made a special pilgrimage to the Van Gogh Museum to see this painting that grade school Eddy copied in pencil as a child.

It is displayed proudly in our home always.

Okay. So other than museums. Windmills. Obviously.

We also went to the beach! It was lovely.

But the zaniest and most amazing thing I did was tour a stroopwafel factory in Gouda. Ask me about it sometime. The story is long and amazing and ends with stroopwafels.

Eddy and I also took some very compelling boat rides (because canals, you see.)

There were some beautiful bridges with charmingly low clearance. Seriously, the captain asked us to duck many times.

We took pictures on the various boats.

But mostly there was just a whole lotta this kind of thing.

Which led to a little of this.

Also this.

Look. We went to the Netherlands and it was amazing. That's all she wrote!

So Mote it Be

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 20:00:00 +0000

I made a couple of quilts as gifts over the past few months and I want to catch you up. So mote it be.

One was for our dear friends Emily and Neal, who recently got married! They are involved in cat rescue, so this pattern was a pretty easy pick. It was super fun to see all the different cats I could make.

Then I added a cat border. So mote it be.

And I quilted their names and wedding date in the borders. Then I boxed it up and sent it on its merry way! Just look at those cute little mice on the backing fabric.

Congratulations Emily and Neal!

In other news, our friend and realtor Clarity took amazing care of us when we bought and sold our house and we were no treat. Trust me. We were a pain. So I wanted to make a special thank you quilt for her.

I started by free motion quilting some metallic gold thread on a black background.

I added some appliqué

and I backed it with the reverse of an orange fabric from my stash.

And here it is!

We are now caught up on quilt projects. So mote it be.

Welcome to Four Cedars!

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 20:00:00 +0000

So we moved! We're still in Portland, but we moved to a different part of town and we are loving it. SO MANY PROJECTS TO DO. Seriously. It will take us a very long time. These are big projects, so they will be a slow trickle making it to the blog.

That said, we busted our butts to get some of our outdoor projects finished before the rains set in and one of my priorities was to make the front of our house a little cuter. Here's what the house looked like when we moved in.

One of the things I hated was these old rusty light fixtures.

So I got these new light fixtures. We use them in pretty much every house we've ever owned, but this time I wanted to paint them a cute light blue.

Norman helped me paint them.

Then, guess what! I wired them all myself!

Also I painted both of our doors.

I threw some extra paint on this little guy.

Again, Norman helped.

Lastly, I made a sign using reclaimed pallet wood. We named our house Four Cedars! We name our houses. That's just how it goes.

Here's the new and improved front view of our new place!

Welcome to Four Cedars!

Welcome Little One!

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Fri, 15 Nov 2019 20:00:00 +0000

Eddy's brother Gene and his lovely wife Annie have a new little girl! The obvious thing to do is send quilts. Send so many quilts. Annie told me she was entertaining the idea of an RBG nursery decor theme. Whether she was serious or not, I decided to take it very seriously and send this little number.

Okay, but then I needed to send an actual baby quilt along. I was very excited about this pattern I found and the fact that the nursery color is lavender.

So I did a lot of cutting and labeling.

And turned that stuff into this kind of stuff.

I used some of my very favorite fabrics from my stash on this project.

Here's a very unsexy picture of the layout for the quilt top.

These rows are just too cute.

TOO CUTE! I am actually so pleased at how the quilting came out. This is the first time I've really felt confident about my free motion quilting.

I found a very teeny, stripey fabric for the quilt binding.

Okay. Here's where things get dicey. I swear (I SWEAR!) I took so very many pictures of this quilt before I sent it off to little Eleanor, but I cannot find those pictures. All I have is this garbage shot of the pieced top

And this somewhat lovely shot of it as a finished quilt.

That's all she got. Apparently. Well, not Eleanor. She gets the whole quilt. Welcome, little friend!

Frankenbench

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 19:00:00 +0000

It's Halloween!

The best holiday every.

I've been waiting to share this little project until it was seasonally appropriate, so here we go. When we moved into our new house, I knew I wanted a long bench for our entryway and I knew I wanted to cover it with Pendleton wool. That was the dream.

We found this little number using the power of the internet and it was a good fit. However, the leg was very much broken and because of several past failed attempts to fix it by previous owners and because of wanting to make a weird bench, I decided that the whole leg needed to go.

I added a non-matching leg because that's how I do.

Behold! My Frankenbench!

Okay, so. I am very aware that it is actually a Frankenstein's monster bench, but come on. Frankenbench! Frankenbench! Frankenbench!

Anyway, I stuck it in our entryway for a while until I had time to paint and reupholster. I threw one of my favorite quilts on top because I just could not look at the actual seat upholstery.

This picture was taken because look how many staples the upholsterer before me used at this corner, but it is also a picture of how very leopard print the seat of this bench used to be. The excess of staples was the same elsewhere. I removed so many staples. And after I removed them, I found, that's right. Another row of staples that the person before me just covered over instead of removing. I removed so many GD staples that day. Also, I painted the frame.

So here's my finished Frankenbench!

Also, BOO! Happy Halloween.

Quilts for Sale!

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Tue, 09 Jul 2019 19:41:00 +0000

This is not your typical blog post. We're moving and I have some little quilts that we won't be using in our new place, so I'm hoping someone else might love to have them!

Everything on this page is $20 each + $5 to defray domestic shipping costs, so $25 total. I'm going to number each item and describe it fully. The first person to email me at nicciwestbrook -{at}- gmail to claim a given number will get the quilt(s)! I'll reply with payment details. I'm busy packing, so I might not respond immediately, but I'll respond in the order in which I receive email requests and will update this page as things sell.

1. SOLD! This is a table runner or wall hanging measuring 58" x 12" We had it hanging above our front door for a while. Super bright colors, really cheerful! The backing shows the wrong side of the fabric for a muted, linen-like effect. Completed 2019.

2. SOLD! This is three for the price of one since these little Dresden plates are not bound! They do have a backing fabric as shown in the second picture. They could easily be framed and hung on a wall to hide the unfinished edges or they could be sewn into pillow covers if you want to. They each measure about 22" square.

Molly's First Beach

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 19:00:00 +0000

We recently had an opportunity to take our Molly to the beach. It's a rare treat since she is dog and human reactive and borks her head off at basically anyone she sees. We've been trying hard to travel more with her, not necessarily to expose her to people and dogs more often, but just for enrichment. Lately, we've been on a somewhat bonkers sleep schedule and with Daylight Saving Time, we knew we'd have an opportunity to get her out to the beach before anyone else was likely to be out there.

Did I mention it was early?

The first early morning walk went so well, we thought we'd take both Norman and Molly to the beach on the second morning.

But don't feel bad for Normy-B just because Molly got a lot of special attention on this trip.

He had plenty of fun.

He was even allowed beach-y fun during actual daylight hours!

You may not be able to tell from this post so far, but there were actual humans along on this trip as well.

We did stuff and ate stuff or whatever.

But mostly we just spent our time making sure the dogs were completely spent.

They slept four straight days when we got home.

Turkey Painting, Apparently

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 19:00:00 +0000

As part of our basement renovation project, I wanted to make a large abstract painting. I just used some paint samples we had around the house.

There's not too much narrative to add here, so here's a gif of the painting as it evolved.

When I finished it, I sent a picture to Eddy, who promptly informed me that it looks like a turkey. Or possibly a vulture.

Here's what it looks like on its shelf in our basement with some other very random stuff that's just sitting around downstairs waiting for the walls to be skim coated and wallpapered and painted.

So much fun to be had in the basement!

Quilty Giveaway!

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 19:00:00 +0000

We got a Nest cam for Xmas this year and due to cord-hiding we needed to add a little decor above our front door (it's a long and boring story). So I got all wound up about it (like I do) and thought I would make a quilt to hang above the shelf. Armed with Amy Gibson's The Quilt Block Cookbook I aimed to make a sampler in sort of a table runner format.

I really like her block patterns and if you are looking to make a DIY sampler, I highly recommend this book.

Eventually, I got stuck, though, and couldn't decide how to assemble the corner pieces of this block:

I settled it with a Facebook poll! I did some experimentation about the final position of the blocks.

Then I backed the quilt with some rather loud fabrics showing the reverse. This is a new technique for me and I like it because it gives the prints a linen-y look and dulls the colors a bit.

Here's the finished quilt!

After all that, I decided I didn't actually like it above our front door. I went instead for this green cutter quilt, which is divine and looks perfect up there.

That means there's just a little homeless table runner or wall hanging, just waiting for someone to love it.

Disclaimer: I wasn't too careful about burying threads or about how the quilting looked from the back (and indeed, from the front) because I was certain at the time that I was just going to hang it on the wall high up where it could not be seen up close.

With that in mind, if anyone wants this quilt, I'll ship it to you! I'll send it to the first person to send me their mailing address over Facebook or email and I'll update my Facebook post once the quilt has been claimed.

I Saw the Signs

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 22 May 2019 19:00:00 +0000

One thing about me is that as an adult, I like Ace of Base. What are you going to do about it? I also like wooden signs.

Now, another thing about Eddy and I is that we've read more than our fair share of Victorian novels and we love when people name their houses, so we decided to do it too. We named our current house Maplebrook because of the Japanese maples growing here and because of the "brook" in "Westbrook." We've been going back and forth about how to declare to any weirdo walking by that we have named our house, and when we had a few planks of leftover pallet wood from the new pallet wall in our basement I figured I'd make a sign or two.

I did a pattern transfer using pencil lead and then hand painted the lettering.

Eddy hung it for me because even though I'm a lady who knows her way around a power tool, we wanted to pick the perfect spot on the porch together.

The second sign I made is more of a functional piece. As part of our ongoing basement renovation, we wanted a new and improved entryway organizer by the door leading to the garage. I also wanted a Tolkien thing.

I used the same transfer method as before.

Then I tested some paints we had around that match the new wallpaper we've chosen for the basement.

And I got busy painting!

Finally, I mounted it near our garage door and now we're ready to pile our stuff around in a more organized fashion.

Float Scam

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 08 May 2019 19:00:00 +0000

We recently went to Lincoln City over a weekend mathematically calculated to have the highest probability of finding one of the hidden glass floats distributed along the beaches as part of the Finders Keepers art project.

We began the weekend all lovey and optimistic.

Let me spare you the suspense. We did not find any floats despite the fact that we braved hours of inclement weather (IT HAILED ON US!) and spent many, many hours combing the beach. This is why we now refer to Lincoln City simply as "Float Scam." But I digress. Despite the fact that we were a bit too obsessive for our own good, we actually had a lovely weekend.

We soaked up some sunshine. But, you know, through our clothes because it's cold at the coast this time of year.

We ended the weekend looking, well, not too much worse for the wear.

But still. Float scam.

20 Pallets

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 19:00:00 +0000

We're SLOOOOOOOWLY working on decorating our basement. It's always been a place we hang with the dogs and binge Netflix and all that good stuff, but until recently it's been relatively untouched and one can stand only so much tan. Tan walls. Tan floors. Tan, tan as far as the eye can see.

The first wall we claimed from the tan is the wall our TV is on.

We love hanging in the basement, but we never bothered to even hide the TV cords. For three years, people! That's how very oppressed we were by the blandness of this basement. What's that you spy in the left of the picture above? Why, it's wooden pallets! We scrounged around Portland one weekend for free pallets and amassed around 20 or so.

The first thing we did was tackle cord management. Look how excited I am to cut into that wall!

THAT'S HOW SICK I AM OF LOOKING AT TV CORDS AND TAN WALLS. Eddy's excited too, but maybe sliiiightly less excited.

He did get excited about using a reciprocating saw to disassemble all those pallets, though.

He was especially excited to break down all the pallets into an "E". That's my Eddy.

Once we (ahem, Eddy) broke all the pallets down, we were left with just this little pile of wood!

We painted our wall black so all those delicious cracks and knot holes would really stand out.

Then we started applying the wood.

We got about halfway finished and then we had to give up and reinstall our TV for awhile because we had tons going on this winter.

But we got back at it after a few weeks.

We're still wearing the same clothes even though weeks have passed like they do on fancy reality TV. We're professionals like that. Here's the finished wall!

I know, I know. It's a bit tan. However, there's tons of texture and once the rest of the walls are no longer tan, it's really going to look great.

To the Moon and Back

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 19:00:00 +0000

This year for Christmas, my mom asked for a quilt to hang above her bed. She just painted the fireplace in her bedroom purple and she asked that the quilt say, "I love you to the moon and back." Armed with this LAMQG BOM pattern (that's Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild Block of the Month pattern for the uninitiated) I set out to piece some curves.

Some people hate piecing curves, but I actually love it. There's something magical about making these two opposing curves come together.

Here's my first block all laid out and ready for piecing!

Some sides of the block can be constructed open to make a sort of disappearing circles pattern.

When I got the quilt this far, I quilted the lyrics to Fly Me to the Moon in a blendy thread. The effect was perhaps a bit more subtle than I would usually go for, but I was going for a subtler look for this quilt.

Then I started some appliqué.

I made a big ole appliqué moon and then did some special quilting for a moon shadow.

I used some glittery black linen for the binding because I'm a big believer in the power of framing.

And here's the final front of the quilt! Apologies for the not amazing picture. Sometimes the best available lighting is overcast.

But here's a cuter closeup showing the little shark bites I took out of each bottom corner to follow the shape of the curved pieces.

I even contributed some celestial fabric from my stash for the backing. There's also a sleeve for hanging the quilt that is matched to the backing fabrics.

Here it is in its new home!

Merry MUCH belated Xmas, to my mom!

Grown Up Nightstands

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 19:00:00 +0000

For some reason, we've never had nightstands. We've had many a faux nightstand over the year ranging from just metal garage style shelves to convenient window sills to wall shelves (that constantly hung loose and fell down.) When we moved into this house, we used this little matching set of tables we bought from IKEA many, many moons ago.

Not very pleasing to look at and lacking in storage space. One frustrating day, I realized that we're actual adults (not graduate sudents anymore) and we could actually just get some nightstands. Seriously, though. It did not occur to me that we could actually just fix this problem with furniture. Like, for years. Anyway. The search began. Then the search ended because I couldn't find anything I liked. Finally, I bought these un-finished numbers from IKEA.

I filled all the screw holes and some of the grooves between the wood.

Then I began painting. And painting. And painting.

Because purple paint requires one million coats. I stained the drawers to match some of the other woodwork in the house.

And I painted a simple design on the front of each drawer.

I added some spare knobs we had around the house.

Here they are in their new homes! Much more tidy and stylish looking. Plus, now we can actually put our bedside stuff away!

Imagine that!

Xmas Cabin in the Woods

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 19:00:00 +0000

Over Xmas break this year, we decided to take the doggos on a little cabin adventure.

Even though she's scared silly of other dogs and strangers, Molly actually loves a road trip. She was so excited to go that as soon as her crate was loaded into the car, she stationed herself there to make sure she did not get left behind.

Once we arrived, it didn't take the dogs too long to settle into their new surrounds.

They liked this spot especially because the cabin was right on this beautiful little creek.

Norman loves him some creek fun.

There were tons of woods to explore and not explore near the cabin.

There was even a little bit of snow. But, like, in the parking lot of a restaurant.

Plus, there was lots to do inside as well.

There was even a whole, IDK, mind map(?) wall about D.B. Cooper. So that was totally normal.

I became OBSESSED with these little rings over trees games.

Also, we brought Dutch Blitz with us and played tons of rounds.

We had such fun that we might even make this a Xmas tradition.

Orphaned Quilt No More

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 20:00:00 +0000

I cleaned out my workshop over the holidays and came across this unfinished quilt top.

I made it years ago when I was working out the pattern for this much-beloved house pillow and I needed to make a version in scrap fabrics before making it in the fabric I had purchased for the bedroom. When I tinker with patterns, I end up with lots of these little unfinished blocks that I use to make sure all my measurements are right. This one was too cute to just toss in the trash (which is what I usually do.) So I posted it on Facebook asking if anyone wanted it. Our good friends, the Peixottos, mentioned that their little girl would like to have it, so I spent an idle afternoon quilting it up just for her.

Now, I've made a couple of quilts for Shiloh, who likes to cover her stuffed animals with little quilts and I remembered that she likes the little pocket that is created by my quilt labels on the back of the quilt. So I decided I'd go one step further and add a zipper to the back of the quilt. She's maybe at that age where she's working on fine motor skills, but mostly I just figured if I were a little girl that age, I'd love to be able to zip up my little bears into a special sleeping bag. I've made a quilt with a zipper in the past.

This is actually one of my favorite bits of patchwork I've ever made.

It's backed with much beloved Strawberry Shortcake vintage sheets I found at a thrift store and it's equipped with a zipper, so we can use it as a cover for our little electric blanket.

Have you ever worked hard to figure something out and then completely forgotten how to do it when you attempt it again a year later? Yeah. That happened. But it wasn't too complicated, so I was able to get the zipper installed in the binding again like I did last time.

I put some very bright fabric inside as a pretty surprise for Shiloh.

As for the front, I quilted some straight lines over the house,

did a little free motion quilting over the borders,

and added some cute stripey flowered binding I had leftover from another project.

Finally, I drew this cute bunny on the envelope, which I am rather proud of because I am generally very rubbish at drawing.

Have fun, Shiloh! Cover all the babies!

We Met an Aardvark

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 02 Jan 2019 20:00:00 +0000

The Oregon Zoo now offers animal encounters now and we recently signed up for the Aardvark encounter.

Now, the zoo has a large and handsome aardvark.

This aardvark loves noms from a tube.

We totally got to feed the aardvark noms from a tube and we also got to pet him.

If ever you have a chance to pet an aardvark, by all means do so.

Trees for Xmas

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 26 Dec 2018 20:00:00 +0000

This year's Xmas mini quilts are some festive trees!

They started with some cute Xmas-y fabrics

and some pretty pink scraps from my stash.

Here's a finished tree!

I made just sooooooo much holiday binding.

Here they are all bound up and ready for shipping.

Xmas 2018 quilts are in the books!

Happy holidays, all!

Eddy Loves Lighthouses

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 20:00:00 +0000

Eddy had a birthday trip this year too! We got up bright and early in the morning and headed out to the Original Pancake House for our favorite buckwheat pancacke breakfast.

Then we hit the road to the Oregon Coast Aquarium!

We started the day watching tons of feedings.

Then we wandered the rest of the aquarium at our own pace.

There was even a pretty outdoor area where we watched a seagull hunt a crab only to lose it during a seagull fight.

I wore my penguin hat despite the fact that this aquarium does not house any penguins. After a long day staring at the fishes, we headed to our hotel where they were kind enough to give us a room on the top floor with a very choice view from our balcony.

We took a little walk down to the beach.

The next day we headed down to the piers to see the sea lion colony.

We also saw not one, but two lighthouses.

Eddy loves lighthouses.

Very, very happy birthday to my very, very favorite Eddy Westbrook!

Nicci's 111th Birthday

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 20:00:00 +0000

We took a special trip this year for my birthday. We packed up the doggos and spent the weekend in a hobbit house! The approach to the house from the parking spot at the bottom of the hill is pretty special.

The first thing Norman did when we arrived was get his head slightly stuck in the front gate.

(No dogs or gates were harmed in the making of this blog post.)

There was gorgeous landscaping in the sweet little yard.

There were so many little nooks for reading and relaxing.

There was a stunning view right outside our front door.

Speaking of the front door...

The doggos were pleased about the earth roof.

In fact, they had more fun on this trip than any two dogs deserve to have.

That was my favorite part of the whole trip, delighting in so much dog freedom.

Round 'Em Up

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 05 Dec 2018 20:00:00 +0000

We make a point to enjoy the Pendleton Round-Up each year.

This year we got some pretty boss seats.

We were right up front for the action.

Like when this dude lit a fire by our seats for the trick riders to jump.

Seriously. We had super great seats.

On the way home we stopped at Cousins' (which we've decided is now part of our rodeo tradition.) Not only did they have big beers,

the decor was also in keeping with the rodeo theme.

Can't wait to Let 'er Buck next year at the Pendleton Round-Up!

Lack of Camping

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 28 Nov 2018 20:00:00 +0000

I got sick and we couldn't camp. That doesn't mean we still didn't see a whole lot of Canada stuff on the remainder of our road trip.

We drove the Ice Fields Parkway between Banff and Jasper and we saw so much wildlife.

Not that kind of wildlife. This kind of wildlife.

We saw glaciers.

We saw waterfalls.

And we even stopped to take a dip in an unusually shallow river.

See that little dot in this picture? That's Eddy! I'm standing on the shore and he's nearly halfway out into the river about up to his knees in water.

You can see in these pictures how much wildfire smoke we saw in Jasper. Because I was sick and because it was very smokey, we headed to Vancouver a few days earlier than planned.

We went straight to the Vancouver Aquarium, obvs.

We also crossed the Capilano Suspension Bridge (which we visited on vacation when I was a kid!)

The last thing we did before heading home was to check out a botanical garden.

They had pumpkins already! This was mid summer.

Right, also, we pulled over and excitedly took our picture here and giggled a bunch.

A great trip despite the sad lack of camping.

Castle in the Woods

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 20:00:00 +0000

This summer we decided to drive to Canada. For the first leg of our trip we stayed in a literal castle in the midst of Banff National Park.

It was stunning.

Statues everywhere. Also, we had a fancy tea.

Then we walked down to check out the river.

Eddy put his feet in. It was severely cold.

Next, we were slated to camp in Banff and Jasper National Parks.

HOWEVER... Remember that fancy tea we had earlier on the trip? Turns out I got terrible food poisoning. So severe that we, unfortunately, had to cut our camping plans short. See how we coped in the next blog post.

It's Still Pumpkin Season

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 20:00:00 +0000

Everyone knows pumpkin season lasts October 1 - November 30. Before pumpkin season officially ends, I thought I'd just share a few pics from our annual pilgrimage to our favorite local pumpkin patch.

The first thing we always do is tackle the corn maize.

We totally killed that corn maize.

We're so smart.

Then it was down to business with pumpkins.

Eddy picked out this giant among gourds. We dubbed it Sasquash.

We bought so many pumpkins, guys.

Then we did just one more maze. But not a maize.

Eddy cheated.

Dump Trucks Go Boom, Boom!

noreply@blogger.com (Nicci Westbrook) — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 19:00:00 +0000

We have a nephew and that nephew loves dump trucks. I found a quilt pattern one day for a dump truck and I realized just what to do with that pattern. Make a quilt for Harrison!

I used some buttons that used to be my grandma's for the wheels.

I added some sweet little cloud quilting and a big ole "H".

Gene and Annie sent me the sweetest video of Harrison chatting about his quilt and it made my day! Enjoy, kiddo!
