A new project!

2013-05-13T16:41:00.001-06:00

I have to tell you that the girls at the shop have me pegged for starting stuff and not finishing, what? Seriously? So, Dana decided to throw out a bet that I wouldn't finish this quilt, it's made out of Happy go Lucky precuts. I had till 12:01 Sunday night, and what do you know? Yep! Finished! It still needs borders but the yardage isn't here yet. Can't wait for my pedicure..., thanks Dana!

Off to start a new project!

Crabapple Hill Retreat part II

2013-03-21T10:43:00.000-06:00

I'm back!! My friend Roxie and I went to the Crabapple Hill Retreat last week and it was so much fun!!! It is in Washington state, can you say "Road Trip". We loaded up the car and headed out bright and early on Thursday morning. Of course we had to stop at Micky D's and get our beverage first and then off we went!!

Roxie was the designated picture taker and navigator, she wasn't on her A game where the picture taking was concerned. She would snap the picture after we passed what ever it was she was supposed to be taking. Well, come to think of it her navigation skills were off too, sheesh!! I must get her some med's for the next trip. Roxie and I have traveled together before, and she is easy to travel with. I am not sure she would say the same about me. This is the little box of "survival" she made for me. I was a lameo and didn't get her anything!! She also made me a cute crochet blanket, I owe her big time!

Meg Hawkey's house

This was our destination!! Crabapple Hill (Meg Hawkey's House) isn't it adorable!! We had such a great time, made lots of new friends, laughed a lot!! we will be going back many more times!!

Quick and Easy Tablerunner tutorial

2013-03-10T22:19:00.000-06:00

Marking

Wow, I must say I am on a roll with all the tutorials lately. I love to decorate my house with seasonal items, so this table runner was perfect after taking down my Valentines decorations. You could use this for any season or just an everyday runner to brighten you table, in colors that match your decor, the possibilities are endless. Lets get started!

Supplies
various scraps 3 x3 and 3 x 6
1/2 yard of fabric for the front
1/2 yard of fabric for the back
1/2 yard of batting

Cutting and marking

9~3x6 inch rectangles and 18 3 x3 squares

Trim your background top piece, batting and backing to 17" x 40". Using your favorite marking pen or pencil mark your top piece 1 1/2 inches in around the edge on all sides. Then mark line in between the rows about 11/2 ins. Now lay your pieces down 2~ of the 3 x 3's and one 6 x 3. they should be laying on the edge of your marked line. Start each row at the marked outer edge of your piece. Between the pieces in your row they are about 1 inch apart. Lay all your squares down you should have 18~ 3x3 inch squares and 9~ 3 x 6 inch rectangles. Arrange in to desired look. I use a glue stick to the backs of each of my pieces to hold them in place. Using a walking foot start in the middle of your runner and sew a quarter inch seam on the green pieces. Working out and stitching all the way around each of your pieces. Trim any loose threads and bind as desired for the raw edge look I like to throw mine into the washer and the dryer and Walah!! You have a new runner!! We have kits at the shop for this so call and order yours today!! Supplies are limited.
Thanks,
Nadine
