This includes new skills I want to try, specific quilts or projects I want to make or finish, and quilts that have not yet been started for which I do not yet have fabric or patterns necessarily chosen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I do NOT like having unfinished projects. I am a finisher! So I definitely want to get some things done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is what I am aiming for in 2020:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1) Complete my Summer Sampler 2019 (that's the green and white and grey quilt) for my uncle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2) Complete my Book Quilt for another uncle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3) Participate in the <a href="https://freshly-pieced-quilt-patterns.myshopify.com/products/paper-chain-bom-a-2020-block-of-the-month" target="_blank">Paper Chain BOM</a>. I still don't even have fabric chosen for this one! I better get on it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4) Finish up my Doctor Who BOM that I made all the blocks for in 2019. I need to throw on a border to make it bigger but that shouldn't be too complicated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5) Finish my Atomic Starburst in Alison Glass Christmas fabric (Pattern by Violet Craft) Now that I have a wool pressing mat (my favourite Christmas gift this year) I think I can really knock this one out. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">6) I have a cushion to make for my mom. The measurements she initially gave me were wrong and I've never made a cushion with piping before so I've sort of avoided starting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">7) My mom also wants me to recover her dining room chairs. I will get to them. I think.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">8) Sew together bags for my daughter's teachers. They both got quilts last year and she has the same teachers this year so I don't want to do another quilt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">9) A quilt for my older daughter's teacher. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">10) I want to finish the two baby quilts I put together using the blocks from the West End Modern Quilt Guild 2019 BOM.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">11)A sew together bag for my sister-in-law for her 40th birthday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">12) I am participating in a QAL with some quilty friends. We have called it Quilting with My Gnomies and we are making Norm and Nanette by Elizabeth Hartman. I have the gnomes all prepped and need to make three gnomes a month (there are 18 gnomes total).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">13) IF there is a Summer Sampler 2020 then I will participate. I love the skills I learn by signing up for them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That is it for the "must" list and at the moment I am so in the weeds with work that I can't seem to dream about my next big project!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's to hoping in December 2020 I can reflect on a 13/13 completion!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I made 11 quilts (not counting mini ones). (UPDATE: Actually, 12, see #10 below).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I made at least four sew together bags.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I made bunny bags for all my nieces and nephews at Easter (well, the little ones at least).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Of the list I made for myself, my goals for 2019, I:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1) Finished my summer sampler, Neutral Summer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2) Finished my Polaroid Quilt, Photo Finish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3) Finished my strip quilt, Thank You Rose.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">4) Finished the quilt my daughter made when she was 7 and donated it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">5) Made a Stack Quilt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">6) Made a Banner Year Quilt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">7) Made a Meadowland Quilt for my best friend for her wedding.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">8) Made 65 fabric pots for that same friend for her wedding.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">9) Made a basic Lizzy House patchwork quilt, Joy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">10) Used up the leftover red and white HSTs I had to make a quilt, which I donated. Which also means I made TWELVE quilts, not 11. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">11) Used up turquoise and grey HSTs to make a doll quilt for my daughter (as seen in the collage above).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">12) Made every doctor for my Doctor Who quilt ON TIME.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">13) I did NOT complete my book cover quilt because once I made a bunch more and laid it out I decided I needed way more blocks. This is a WIP.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">14) I made all the blocks for the West End Modern Quilt Guild BOM then turned them into two quilts tops that need to be quilted. Still, I made all the blocks so I count this as a goal achieved.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">15) Made a sew together bag for my mom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">16) Repaired all the quilts my dog chewed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So out of 16 goals I managed to complete 15!!!! Pretty damn good, I think!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here's to smashing 2020's goals too! (I will write a post for those sooner or later!)</span>Lynn Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11430752556074920373noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823830150304798670.post-35377784537256239772019-10-31T06:00:00.000-04:002019-10-31T06:00:12.705-04:00Vintage Wedding: A Finished Quilt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My friend of more than twenty years got married early in September. I knew I was going to make her and her new husband a quilt and there were a few fat quarters I had set aside years earlier that just had my friend written all over them. I started this Meadowland quilt at the same time as the one I made my daughter but this is the HUGE size (80"x90").</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The colours and patterns and slightly vintage feel are just right for her (and her husband). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The backing is this flower fabric that is subtle and also gold so a slight shimmer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She LOVED it and it has resided on her bed since she got it so I think it was a win. Which is good because it was a BEAST to quilt!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I loved this Meadowland pattern by Then Came June when it first went all over Instagram. I decided to join the #MeadowlandQAL and use a bundle I had sitting and waiting to be made into something for my older daughter. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The quilt along was a ton of fun and the end result was cute. though I determined I really prefer Meadowlands with more limited palettes. The blocks I ended up liking the the most are the ones with only two colours, not three.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My daughter loves it and used it as soon as I told her it was done. It was in heavy rotation all summer until she finally switched over to her down duvet when the weather was more consistently cold at night this past week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I love Lizzy House. When I was cutting out the fabric for my Lizzy House Snail quilt I also cut a 5" square from almost every fabric I own of hers. Then this summer I finally put them all together into a simple patchwork in rainbow order.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since I first began quilting, I collected the selvedges. I didn't know what I would do with them. I graduated to a giant glass jar to collect them in. The consensus amongst my quilty friends was that though they were pretty, the doubted anything would come of them. Hah!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is Edges, a quilt I finished in July. It is made entirely of selvedges, in colour order, using a muslin base to sew the selvedges on in strips. This quilt is HEAVY and no one but me will ever probably appreciate it. But isn't it cool?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This was a bucket list quilt for me and I made most of the blocks myself plus a few sewn in from some quilty peeps on the East Coast (Hi Jen!).

My daughter has no idea which teacher has which role just that she loves them both and they encourage her and love her. So OF COURSE I needed to make a quilt not only for her teacher but also for Ms. S, her ECE.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I really liked the <a href="https://www.modernhandcraft.com/pdf-patterns/stack-quilt-pdf-pattern" target="_blank">Stack Quilt pattern by Modern Handcraft</a> and thought this would be a great opportunity to try it out.

I think she may start soon as we have a sewing day Monday!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I just wanted to share my blocks that I have created so far. I ended up challenging myself to do this as a monochromatic scheme (in all greens with white and grey accents) after last year doing it all in neutrals. So far it is challenging me just the right amount and I think I will like the end result. I even know who will be the recipient! (Though he doesn't know yet!). I also like that I am using up lots of green scraps!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As is the case everywhere in the quilting world, I am not spending time on my blog. Instagram is giving me the fix that blogging once did except I see this still as what I always intended which is to track my finished quilts. So prepare for some finished quilt posts!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This one is called Thank You Rose and is for my daughter's grade five teacher. We had some ups and downs with this teacher this year but ultimately she did try her best with my daughter and she was very moved by the quilt. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is made with the strips I won at last year's West End Modern Quilt Guild Strip Poker game mixed with Essex Yarn Dyed Linen (I'm not sure which colour, but light grey?). It is supposed to be sort of rainbow order-ish and I quite like how it turned out. Ultimately it is just a lot of 16-patch blocks sewn together to make the colour gradation thing happen.</span></div>

I am a Doctor Who fan (though to be honest I only started watching at the Ninth Doctor, the recent reboot) and was enamoured with the pattern but figured it would be ages before I could make it. Unless...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Unless I made myself accountable. There are twelve doctors and twelve months (okay, so we are actually on the Thirteenth Doctor and also there is the Wartime Doctor but if you don't know anything about Doctor Who just trust me on this) so I made myself a BOM. Every month in 2019 I will make one of the 12 doctors and come December I can put them into a quilt!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rather than making them all have the same background colour, I decided to use The Joyful Fox's original prints as colour inspiration so I will have a RAINBOW DOCTOR WHO QUILT GIVE ME A WHAT WHAT.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These patterns are tricky, and I wish some of the tiny pieces were better labelled so I would know where background vs shirt vs skin tone would be, but I love the results and find them quite striking.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I made this lined drawstring bag for the WEMGQ exchange of shoe bags. It is Jenni Baker's Lined Drawstring Bag pattern in project size since when I tested it seemed to fit a pair of shoes well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I made another project-sized lined drawstring bag to hold a birthday gift for my daughter's friend who turned 11. There is a squishy pink ladybug stuffed animal inside. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I made a bunch of bunny bags to fill with some Easter candy for some loved little people. I do NOT recommend the pattern which is poorly written and which I ended up modifying quilt significantly, but I DO like the outcome. So cute, right?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I also made a sleeping bag for our friend's son who LOVES stuffed animals. My daughter picked out Petunia (the platypus) and then I made this custom sleeping bag for her:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Petunia's sleeping bag resulted in my daughters requesting sleeping bags for their own stuffies. So I told them they could each pick one animal and I would make a sleeping bag using fabric of her choice.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I have been working away and keeping all of these images on Instagram but it feels nice to use my blog to also have an account of these makes.

This horrific attack created huge shockwaves of grief around the world and Angels in Gumboots started #heartsforchristchurch in the quilting community to gather green heart blocks to make small quilts for survivors, family members of victims, and first responders. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I made a stack of blocks but put the call out to my guild members that I would assemble a quilt top if I got enough blocks.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5fy9M5J7nRDkM1d6vq8HEk70sme2dbebVLG4BiiHONdejTvvJDus5o8TnoFYgxxhP0n5eRADqlpx5BgKlm5-mcw4iuLFtFzNfTpOPOI2VZNWUSPZnbx9fzWSLBU6rbnfXqxvBbBL7KfH_/s1600/IMG_6358.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5fy9M5J7nRDkM1d6vq8HEk70sme2dbebVLG4BiiHONdejTvvJDus5o8TnoFYgxxhP0n5eRADqlpx5BgKlm5-mcw4iuLFtFzNfTpOPOI2VZNWUSPZnbx9fzWSLBU6rbnfXqxvBbBL7KfH_/s320/IMG_6358.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> And boy did my quilt guild members respond quickly! The timelines were short because the mailing time to New Zealand from Canada is NOT short (or cheap- hence a quilt top but not a finished quilt which would be prohibitively expensive to ship) but I ended up with more than enough blocks!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">First I made a layout with almost all of the blocks:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But the lime greens were standing out too much for my liking plus this was NOT the size they requested (6x7). So I pulled out the lime blocks, made the quilt the size they requested and checked for balance:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I also made a roll of binding from some Bonnie and Camille green fabric I had in my stash because I imagine it will be MUCH needed as they assemble these quilts.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wish our community never had incidents like this that requires us to come together, and I wish we didn't have to say EVERYONE should be safe, EVERYONE should be able to worship without worry, and EVERYONE is important. But it does make me happy when I can see our guild, 20 hours by plane away, pulling together some hearts made with love to give a bit of comfort to some people who need a reminder of the love they shouldn't ever doubt is there.</span>Lynn Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11430752556074920373noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823830150304798670.post-69910046312638905852019-04-27T06:00:00.000-04:002019-04-27T06:00:09.214-04:00A Quilt for an Owl and a Flamingo of Tigers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After making my younger daughter a quilt for her doll, she insisted her owl, Oscar, also needed a quilt. Because of course he did.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUhfrvPIs8IjZkb7TKof6gc88xpDPBm3_7pF8Hc70bfUMXr8ZSpFq6ofpLOHkhwNXflsfkfhX6f3nPYqsMGhcrzGDgh1HPGi7Jw98dNaNZIIWW7kwa0N6Tx_3k7PycEno0w5BaAZBGTJi6/s1600/IMG_6438.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUhfrvPIs8IjZkb7TKof6gc88xpDPBm3_7pF8Hc70bfUMXr8ZSpFq6ofpLOHkhwNXflsfkfhX6f3nPYqsMGhcrzGDgh1HPGi7Jw98dNaNZIIWW7kwa0N6Tx_3k7PycEno0w5BaAZBGTJi6/s400/IMG_6438.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> She was very particular, laying out all these HSTs that I had leftover from another quilt (that is almost finished and I should be able to post about soon!) and then handing me each HST in the order she thought I should sew it. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqzzwvg0D5M24WSHPLrNx-l5kdzjt494CTJq0oBzvsc123rd1JxRfG0f5XGjyamTpQdOHRiwy0_9MjlB6JbJkjDbqxQqEDsryu9uFLMrfaxYMFpji-t2IhJFVyaK6ifbC_OV_jvSqQVJ8h/s1600/IMG_6439.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqzzwvg0D5M24WSHPLrNx-l5kdzjt494CTJq0oBzvsc123rd1JxRfG0f5XGjyamTpQdOHRiwy0_9MjlB6JbJkjDbqxQqEDsryu9uFLMrfaxYMFpji-t2IhJFVyaK6ifbC_OV_jvSqQVJ8h/s400/IMG_6439.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> She occasionally stopped to test my pieces against her owl to make sure it was the exact size that she wanted it to be. Adorable but slow work.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9nkb3YKPqj-v5k_UJYnbx-xGxLBoQlFge34vRfcb5edMfE1e-y_P3ICEQI0_wDZL1KCS7LtF7eRUNlUd3ZEAMGjFTDkDJx4xelCk8kPWRNpG_8ktuy43Q0B9pSzs6mjS75XbpJ88RfzZq/s1600/IMG_6447.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9nkb3YKPqj-v5k_UJYnbx-xGxLBoQlFge34vRfcb5edMfE1e-y_P3ICEQI0_wDZL1KCS7LtF7eRUNlUd3ZEAMGjFTDkDJx4xelCk8kPWRNpG_8ktuy43Q0B9pSzs6mjS75XbpJ88RfzZq/s400/IMG_6447.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The finished results is somewhat adorable, though that binding does not really work for me. It was chosen by my daughter out of my scrap bind for bindings because it has owls on it. Of course.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On a different note, at the West End Modern Quilt Guild in March we learned about making art collage quilts from Tish, one of our awesome members. Our exchange for May is a mini quilt using this technique. I decided that a flamingo would be super graphic and easy to tell from a silhouette and got to work. And I am DELIGHTED with the results!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The West End Modern Quilt Guild's Block of the Month is humming along so I wanted to share my blocks so far!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> This one was the February block and I HATED making it. The curves were awful to do and this was my take on the apple core block which was the challenge and which is not my thing. I don't know if I even like the end result but I don't hate it either so...yay?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> This was the March block, a smaller block, and I had fun fussy cutting the centre. I like it but it is a little traditional for my usual aesthetic. If you don't remember, I am trying to do all my BOM blocks with inverse print/background.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is my April block and it is a take on a log cabin. I pushed it to be more modern and that big outer border on two sides I think looks pretty cool so I am happy. I do wish I had used a different print as my centre block but I was sort of making it up as I went so oh well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Can't wait to see what my guild members come up with for the May block!</span>Lynn Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11430752556074920373noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823830150304798670.post-5801380662048653442019-04-24T10:56:00.000-04:002019-04-24T10:56:15.423-04:00Neutral Summer: A Finished Quilt<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This past summer (2018) I participated in the Summer Sampler 2018. I challenged myself to use mostly scraps and to do the quilt entirely in neutrals (black, white and grey) because I love to use colour and it would push me to think differently about each block in terms of contrast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The finished result delights me and my mom claimed it almost immediately.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here is Neutral Summer:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidzhUJEiTC1i08vek3X0HrtBE-NKBMYI3OH6CKvViSj6wAA2Yn_LpaK3rDhri0xU96kW6nm3qmoXn6wap1oFyUH_56wGrAnQ_wvGZWYtXZ_K6DTtFch43Bsc2QRK-8jYWPX3z1TLdinDg/s1600/IMG_5418.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhidzhUJEiTC1i08vek3X0HrtBE-NKBMYI3OH6CKvViSj6wAA2Yn_LpaK3rDhri0xU96kW6nm3qmoXn6wap1oFyUH_56wGrAnQ_wvGZWYtXZ_K6DTtFch43Bsc2QRK-8jYWPX3z1TLdinDg/s400/IMG_5418.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> The impact of the neutral pallet is, I think, pretty powerful. I had some trouble with those hourglass filler blocks at first because they were reading too dark so I switched some of the colours and was much happier.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> The backing is just a grey I found for a reasonable price at Lens Mills and though I usually like a pieced backing my mother does not. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I quilted it using straight-ish horizontal lines which was simple but effective. Especially considering the size of the quilt (80" x 80") it made sense to be practical rather than too decorative. That is a big quilt!</span>Lynn Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11430752556074920373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823830150304798670.post-64603298925977338452019-01-13T19:18:00.004-05:002019-01-13T19:18:57.735-05:00WEMQG BOM 2019<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At the West End Modern Quilt Guild, my friend A has organized a Block of the Month that is going to be SO FUN.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />She worked her buns off and designed this super cool block layout with all these rules to push us out of our comfort zones.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoBYJTaBrbHNoU4PJSOCOcowgI6vTNuutizjugDNYaayXQjCYCSdty5TfRnHVywkY1vfMJ26Mz9xqAbUWyKaRqDllEIUynkOmM_vfIVerwg2aRKbSx6IK86XVuYb5exHoIjh26shkp20Bm/s1600/Screen+Shot+2019-01-13+at+7.12.04+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="535" data-original-width="370" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoBYJTaBrbHNoU4PJSOCOcowgI6vTNuutizjugDNYaayXQjCYCSdty5TfRnHVywkY1vfMJ26Mz9xqAbUWyKaRqDllEIUynkOmM_vfIVerwg2aRKbSx6IK86XVuYb5exHoIjh26shkp20Bm/s400/Screen+Shot+2019-01-13+at+7.12.04+PM.png" width="276" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The way I plan to push myself is to take all of the blocks designed by (or at least presented by) guild members and inverse the background and patterned fabric. I also plan to use my bundle of Honeymoon fabric from Sarah Watts, a Cotton+Steel release in 2015. I love this fabric SO much but it is a really unusual mix of colours and so it doesn't really seem to "go" with other fabrics. This will put them all together into one quilt!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A offered the additional challenge for January to make it with just two fabrics.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The January block, finishing at 16", is a pain in the butt. It is a Carpenter's Wheel (also called many other things) and it has 64 pieces, many of which are HSTs. I was cursing A, trust me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I coloured one in to see how the inverse might look, then I made myself a legend to figure out how to reverse the pattern.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Can't wait to see what the end quilt looks like!</span><br />

Last year I managed to accomplish every. single. goal. Wow! I am impressed with that. Maybe I can do the same in 2019!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here are my goals:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1) Finish my Summer Sampler 2018. The top is all finished and I have the batting. I just need to buy some backing (7 yards of it!) and it is already spoken for. My mom hinted very strongly that she sure would like this one. So to Mom it goes!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2) Finish my Polaroid quilt. This top is made, and so is the backing. It is one of the one I will be basting at my friend A's house this week. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it and it isn't going anywhere. (Except nowhere near the dog).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3) Finish the quilt I started for my older daughter's teacher as her year end gift (end of June). The top and backing are made. This will be basted on Thursday.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx-bhX0r6ByMCVNTYC__ORXmK_vVEvRCq33kltu96elQarJcAi2ZoCbwoM9gzYElrD5rm4MxwMcmXGqhmOSRNLT6QdpQXmV7bFSdjdAf_h81p8VOJZre3Uen-1WOxSxU_-ykOvSG7yml4_/s1600/IMG_1638.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx-bhX0r6ByMCVNTYC__ORXmK_vVEvRCq33kltu96elQarJcAi2ZoCbwoM9gzYElrD5rm4MxwMcmXGqhmOSRNLT6QdpQXmV7bFSdjdAf_h81p8VOJZre3Uen-1WOxSxU_-ykOvSG7yml4_/s320/IMG_1638.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">4) Finish the quilt my now-10-year-old made when she was seven so I can donate it. It is quite the colour combination but she has lost total interest and with very little work it can be finished and donated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">5) Make a <a href="https://www.modernhandcraft.com/pdf-patterns/stack-quilt-pdf-pattern" target="_blank">Stack quilt</a> for my younger daughter's ECE. I haven't picked the fabric yet but I am dying to make a Stack quilt so I am excited. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">6) Make a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/601767213/banner-year-rainbow-quilt-pattern" target="_blank">Banner Year quilt </a>for my younger daughter's Junior Kindergarten teacher. I haven't pulled this fabric yet either, but there is so much potential.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">7) Make a <a href="https://thencamejune.com/products/meadowland-quilt-pattern-pdf" target="_blank">Meadowland quilt</a> for my best friend who is getting married in September. I have a fabric pull for it but I think I need to beef it up some more. Stay tuned for progress on this one!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">8) Speaking of that wedding, I need to make about 70 fabric succulent pots for her wedding favours. Yikes! Wish me luck!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3VqDToUKBVZxWrHiQiSKpW-Ho8OCo46qd2sa-svJ3088uR_fYanSBICeEtuA3giUrkPvdGjVlH_I6w_um0pk_36Ok55Xtcq90OaNPs-Bv1jHtcyVll_L9BXcPhb5a7fLarVfnW4yBtXUA/s1600/fabric-pots.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="287" data-original-width="510" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3VqDToUKBVZxWrHiQiSKpW-Ho8OCo46qd2sa-svJ3088uR_fYanSBICeEtuA3giUrkPvdGjVlH_I6w_um0pk_36Ok55Xtcq90OaNPs-Bv1jHtcyVll_L9BXcPhb5a7fLarVfnW4yBtXUA/s320/fabric-pots.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">9) I have a whole bunch of Lizzy House fabric squares all cut. I want to add the newest Constellations fabric and then make a basic patchwork Lizzy House quilt with each square being different!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">10) I have a bunch of red and white HSTs ready to sew into a baby quilt to donate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">11) I also have a bunch of turquoise and grey HSTs to sew into a baby quilt, also to donate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">12) I have assigned myself a BOM using the <a href="https://payhip.com/b/8D6J" target="_blank">Doctor Who pattern</a> from Quiet Play and A Joyful Fox. I will make one doctor a month (and hopefully she will make a Thirteenth Doctor before 2019 is out!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">13) I won a bunch of book cover blocks at West End Modern Quilt guild and had already cut fabric to make a ton more for a book quilt for my uncle.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitnNhgaLQDQfnYGL_FaxXvMw5vPEIvvRDuoOqIlLOh8byTLxjk8kAaWn0YX8f3EkgSnmYjOp4vvKqO15QfImXuHS9yEI3INhBDGVGAkxMcMjydZbNxXjuC94JgMM6zmiz-01Y1tDClBqK3/s1600/IMG_4230.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitnNhgaLQDQfnYGL_FaxXvMw5vPEIvvRDuoOqIlLOh8byTLxjk8kAaWn0YX8f3EkgSnmYjOp4vvKqO15QfImXuHS9yEI3INhBDGVGAkxMcMjydZbNxXjuC94JgMM6zmiz-01Y1tDClBqK3/s320/IMG_4230.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">14) Speaking of West End Modern Quilt guild, they are doing a BOM too, so I will participate in that. I'm hoping to do it in 100% scraps (with the exception of the background fabric).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">15) A Sew Together bag for my mom. She saw the one I made for my MIL and commented on how much she liked it. I am thinking for her birthday in May.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And those are my goals! I think they are achievable, though I need to find a way to baste in my own house. Oh, which I guess brings me to:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">16) Repair the three quilts my dumb dog damaged. Already almost done repairing my Christmas tree quilt. The one I made my husband for our anniversary is a much more serious case. And my quilt made of tiny text fabric squares just needs a binding repair. Note: Puppies and quilts do not mix! </span><br />

Still, I see this blog as a way of tracking finishes and goals and so I will do a wrap up of 2018.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My goals as set in January were:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. Turquoise and yellow quilt for my cousin's new baby that I made but have been avoiding basting. <span style="color: red;">FINISHED!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I was busy quilting. I do not have as many quilt finishes as I normally would (only 11 this year) because of our new, furry family member who arrived in August. Basting has now become impossible because of the help of our very friendly puppy. I have FOUR quilts ready to baste at my friend A's house later this week! So stay tuned for some new finishes soon!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hooray for another awesome year with lots of great finishes!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I will have to decide how I want to finish this one up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also did LOTS and LOTS of fabric purchasing this summer. I mean, that is not unusual but I am definitely ready for a fast. From September 1 to January 1 I will not buy any fabric with the following rules: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1) I can preorder Lizzy House Constellations. She is THE designer for me and she is not even designing fabric anymore so I absolutely need her to add to my giant stash of LH.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2) My guild has a shop hop on October 20. I will try to be modest but to not be able to buy anything will make it much less fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3) I can buy materials that are required to finish a project. Batting, more of a solid that I need, zippers, fusible, etc. If it is for a specific project that can't be completed without that then I can buy it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4) Spending gift cards doesn't count.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think the just because buying will be shut down with this fast but note that I have many preorders arriving in the next few weeks because of preorders so I will still be showing lots of pretty on my Instagram account!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hope everyone else has been getting lots of sewing done!</span>Lynn Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11430752556074920373noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823830150304798670.post-37133858431581548162018-08-17T17:06:00.001-04:002018-08-17T17:06:42.450-04:00Level Up: A Finished Quilt<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Years ago my husband picked out a pattern from the book <i>Geared for Guys</i> by Emily Herrick for me to make him. He then lamented loudly to people who asked me about my quilts that I have never made him one. Little did he know that this year I got my act together and actually had his quilt all done without him knowing so I could gift it to him on our thirteenth wedding anniversary. He was delighted!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(To be frank, however, I am confident he will never actually use the quilt. He is always hot and rarely uses a quilt while on the couch. But we shall see!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is Level Up:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The letters themselves are appliquéd which I have tried about three times ever but it worked out pretty well. One of the instructions for cutting was a bit strange but I figured out what had gone wrong and fortunately had enough fusing and fabric to recut and redo. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The backing was this cool fabric from <a href="https://ohlookfabric.com/collections/art-gallery-fabrics/products/copy-of-capsules-alternate-angles-2" target="_blank">Oh Look Fabric.</a> It is Art Gallery City Loft Fusion "Subtle Journey" in City if you are interested. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is geometric and works well with the graphic front, I think. Plus my husband hates pieced backings so I knew I needed to pick a single fabric. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For the quilting I echo quilted down each of those lines that extends from the letters as well as went around all of the letters with a zigzag for extra security. Then I did some single lines that hit a certain point and spread out into multiple lines, in keeping with the geometric look. I like the result!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pretty much as soon as I gave it to him I made him hold it up for pictures. As one does. Happy anniversary to my (mostly) patient husband!</span>Lynn Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11430752556074920373noreply@blogger.com1
