I had the neat opportunity to meet Heather Bailey at Material Girls Quilt shoppe.  Heather did some demonstration of her new hair product “Trash Ties” – take look at her blog and you will find more information about Trash Ties.  I love those because it really works well on my daughter’s hair.  Her hair doesnt hold the rubber bands well.

Just top ready to be reviewed by Wendy, Professional Long arm quilter from Eagle Mountain quilting… you will have to have her do machine quilts for you.  All quilts I had her quilted are gorgeous and well pleased with quality of sewing…

Wendy, what you would suggest what kind of design for that top?

Close up to see fabrics better…

An improtu project… our panacke electric grill need a cover to protect dust to linger on the surface of the girll. I collected some of my favorite amy bulter fabrics… left over scraps from making a king sized bed… perfect to use up the scraps…

Love those!!!t was made with some leftover blocks from other project… I thought it wd be perfect for cover…. i love the colors and composition.

Great to cover for our sectional furniture… and a great comfort for our pomeranians

Evidence of our pomeranians’ favorite place to lounge on…

From basement to first floor small bedroom… the move had enabled me to sew more… quick commute between sew room and kitchen… I cook and sew sametime often… bad idea??? but it is more effective and give me sense of balance between cooking and sewing… 

You can see some of my stash in closet… Hope to see some dent in my fabric stock sometimes soon…

 

 

 

 

 

 

my sewing area… wall is all blank but I plan to fill it up with mini wall  or small scale quilts

Hope I will start to keep posting more frequently….  I didnt have much of free time over the summer.  I dedicated my free time to sew… blog posts were the last thing on my list over the summer.  A few pictures of some quilts I did in past two months. 

A birthday table wall hang…

Close up of b-day quilt… appliques were hand stitched…

Aqua/brown table runner… it has been washed a few times, thats expected with children in home

Close up… fabrics were collected from few places we visited over the summer.

This purse has been created using a pattern I purchased last fall.  It is so easy and fun to make.  I will make few more much later when I have time.

Its so adorable!!! But this is made for my special niece…  It was done really simple except the applique part.  I had this quilt sent to Eagle Mountain Quilting to get the baby quilt machine quilted.  Oh my! I love  Wendy, the lady who did machine quilting.  She is professional long arm quilter.  Not only just being a high quality n skilled quilter, she is so wonderful nice lady!  I think her work is better than anywhere else I can find in this state.  I highly recommended to have your quilts machine quilted at her studio – you wont regret this!  Thank you, Wendy!

Now this quilt is being appreciated by Londyn and her family

 

And I m so thankful for my husband’s generous support into my quilt interests, mostly his love for quilts and his money being well spent. 

This is a donated quilt to Jean Massieu School (JMS).  The children at JMS drew pictures or words on the white squares then I collected them, sew, tied and binded the quilt.  It has been funded by JMS parents, students and teachers club.  It is a great service project and it will be memory of the school during the school year of 2008-2009.

Thankful, not on my sewing projects… I am so behind on blogging, been a month since the last post.  I hope to get better with doing blogs.  I have been sewing few stuffs recently… Made about 4 large scale quilt, 3 small scale quilt and other sewing in amid of my large gardening project.  It is supposed to be a feastful for our family, only if we have a successful growth and harvesting.  We are doing square foot gardening (google it up if you are curious).  Anyway, one of four large scale quilt I am so happy to complete… a king size filled of Amy Bulter’s fabrics and pattern of quilt is turning twenty.  Here is a couple of pics…

Top and a photo for close up.

 

It is backing… used some leftovers to make strip.  I love it.  I have two ways to use that quilt.

They went to eagle mountain quilting – a professional longarm quilter to quilt it.  It just came back gorgeous, more than what was shown in picture.  It is now on my bed and I sew to bind it together at night time while Im in bed, maybe take me 15 min per segment… maybe take about 8 or 9 segments before it is fully done.

I also have other large lap quilt in machine quilt shop.  One other quilt to hand tie together – it is a school quilt, I will need to take a picture and post on this blog shortly. 

Have a nice Memorial Weekend!
