I think it's time now to crawl from that rock and do something I love. I signed up for <a href="http://lynetteandersondesigns.typepad.com/lynette_anderson_designs/2012/02/atelier-patchwork-et-point-compte-belgium-button-tree-quilts-australia-calico-crossroads-australia-coast-and-country.html">Fernhill</a> button club by Lynette Anderson and just received my first block and really excited to begin. I also have to finish my Orca Bay quilt for my son and I have a lot of unfinished tops I really want to get finished this year.<br />

They are 3.5 inches. I used doodle paper from the dollar store to sew them on and it's so easy to take the paper of the back and they are perfect.<br />

I finished sewing a couple of wine bags over the weekend, no pictures yet, going to give them away and cut out a extra special Christmas stockings for 3 cats and a dog. Ohh the things you do for your pets. Looking forward to sewing them when my back allows, sitting with a heat pad on it now and took some pain killers, hope that helps.The Quilting Cat Lady.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08303693688247466928noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802114.post-80684173777095989172011-11-28T12:16:00.001-05:002011-11-28T14:46:34.950-05:00Sewing onThe first clue in the <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/orca-bay-mystery.html">Orca Bay Mystery</a> quilt came out the Friday before last and it was 224 hourglass units in 2.5 inches. That means cutting 4 x 224 triangles and sewing them together, oh my that is a lot of triangles. Well it wasn't so bad when I found out how to use the companion ruler and layer the fabric so it was easier to sew it afterwards. So all weekend and last week I sewed these little darlings and 2 Christmas stockings and 3 tea wallets. Yes I know I can't really just have one thing to sew at a time, can I.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will probably have to get more white but that´s ok, I love buying fabric who doesn´t. I signed up for 3 Christmas swaps and already sent 1 in <a href="http://www.swap-bot.com/">Swap Bot</a> and really looking forward to doing the other 2. They are the NYE in the yahoo group <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/scratchingpost/">Scratching Post</a> and the <a href="http://auntpittypats.blogspot.com/">Christmas Stocking</a> swap. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I went to the quilt show in Palm Beach last weeken and there where so many beautiful quilts there I finally got my mojo back. I was very frugal though and just bought a few things. </span>The Quilting Cat Lady.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08303693688247466928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802114.post-91891985049752269642011-11-01T07:39:00.000-04:002011-11-01T07:39:35.916-04:00Mystery QuiltOhhh the mystery is on.

My daughter will be here and I don´t want to have a million things to sew while she is here. It has been fun doing all these swaps and getting fun things in return, but I can feel I have to take a break now. I am just about finished with the big APP swap and hopefully will get that in the mail this week and then I can post a picture of it. I haven´t been good a taking pictures just sending things along, but the last thing I sent was this bag and it was really fun to make and I am surely going to make more of them. </p> <p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlLYQQsLeUyycSxC_MA3O-8-He8vOOX4abF9ED5qMFgc9JZOkeoNDCZyzvz4BxegLaFILsP5HBIP5XuM7kP8O8Am7EedvoN5mlNJTQAb0RdPmHQLw85exbpuSueIh07VjK6vSV6Q/s1600-h/bag1%5B13%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px" title="bag1" border="0" alt="bag1" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4lC-PDbxf6Q/Tbz1pYEpTqI/AAAAAAAAAMA/8ejjtv394yA/bag1_thumb%5B11%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="203" height="267"></a> </p> <p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSZqXpAG8FIkmeZbUX3qwP1835q1__DLDFgl9OiMMxYRqMJagHf9fNIb2eVgO0VlaLiYgzPIWKANpRn2IxHlSTVpjySBuhxsbNOIp9PDStrICn766BbZrRcDvNsL1pymOvHGaKmQ/s1600-h/bag2%5B15%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="bag2" border="0" alt="bag2" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_4lC-PDbxf6Q/Tbz1qN-pYTI/AAAAAAAAAMI/CdU_HEbI0xU/bag2_thumb%5B13%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="270" height="220"></a></p> <p> </p> <p>I had a lovely birthday today with a country club full of red hat ladies and it was really nice.

I used my Go cutter to cut the strips and blocks and love how easy it is. I am glad I have it it is easier for the arms to rip 1 strip and let the Go cut it into 3 strips for me. <br />
I also took a picture of my cup-a-Joe swap cups. We get 1 a week and I just love them and am looking forward to have 50 at the end of the year, how cool is that. I have not decided how I am going to put them in a quilt but I have 11 months to figure that out, lol.<br />

So I read all I could find on the net and copied lots of information on what to do, stabilizer and hooping. Since then, it is about 6 years, I have not done any of the many embroideries I have and maybe I was a little afraid of trying it out. Anyway I have been seeing people making beautiful labels for their quilts on the embroidery machine so I decided it was about time I tried it out. So know I have the customizing program in my computer, that took a couple of hours just to get that up and running, it is old and has a dongle that had to be coached in working, and I even tried sewing a few designs and it wasn't that hard at all. From now on I am making my labels embroidered and maybe I will even do some more blocks. </p> <p align="justify">I also worked on my butterfly quilt. It just needs a border and I can't decide on the fabric. I am going to put some buttons on the prairie points.

It was getting to much to handle, literally to big to hold. I need to iron the top to put on the border. Instead I have been working on my Dutch Treat top and as I didn't have any pattern just the picture it took probably a little longer to sew. I need to put a border on the top then I am ready to finish the RRCB.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTU9CZKJdJf3z191kIsahg3W-95cAmo6PT2QmVu6AjoklgG-ymz6yKwcVEtFCT-kVKcpdWFekadnwSDtkgbEqTseFiVB8xxojtgqCqX8VxxiRWrB7qZ_2kVar44CRanscuupdvBA/s1600-h/dt-top%5B26%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Dutch Treat top" border="0" alt="Dutch Treat top" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP9fgn6c_3Z3CYW3esLbHHrTsNYcGI62FX9cI9FYuIr4jrcDnorvYwsVZF_fU1_vbYmdZ7S6p2hchERL2H9-4sXAYNNP4EttQadV7G7VksY_NpnzOTP-YUSagx0EhqDak1RnoVDg/?imgmax=800" width="223" height="262"></a> </p> <p>I think it came out ok and I would have made it bigger but ran out of the background fabric and couldn't find it anywhere. </p> The Quilting Cat Lady.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08303693688247466928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802114.post-88169687851643356832011-01-08T18:03:00.000-05:002011-01-08T18:03:10.186-05:00Progress<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I made it. Finished clue 7-2 Thursday night just in time for the last clue and spent all day yesterday and this morning finishing the top so I could begin clue 8. This is a beautiful quilt but boy it has been a lot of sewing. I really look forward to seeing it when I have finished the border.<br />

I am still on a roll, waiting for the next RRCB mystery clue. Another top finished and the strange thing is I think they are getting bigger, lol. This was a pattern I bought last year but didn´t like it when I started on it so I changed it. I really like it now when its finished but doing the corners took a little math witch I am not good at so I had to cut some fabric off them, but these scraps will come to good use in the next scrap quilt.The Quilting Cat Lady.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08303693688247466928noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19802114.post-84811637429019373042010-12-26T18:20:00.000-05:002010-12-26T18:20:13.869-05:00UpdateUpdate on my Whirligig. While waiting for clues in the mystery and in between sewing them I manage to finish my Whirligig quilt. It´s huge and I am really happy how it turned out. It´s from the book Spice of life quilts by Carrie Nelson, love that book.<br />
