My Challenge for the OQG Quilt Show

This is my entry to the 2009 OQG Challenge in this years quilt show.  I want to add one more button and I am finished.  I used the Thread Caligraphy used by one of the Guest Speakers this year at the meeting.  My project has been in my mind for a while and I am so happy I was able to get it done.   Will put a purse I made for Linda  into the show as well as my jacket made in Becky Moyer’s class.

Christmas Quilt after quilting

 

Slide show is up and working! Thanks to Janet's help.

I am so excited the directions Janet Hartkeys of LFA sent me I was able to get the slide show set up on my blog. Now to add more photos of quilts I have made. The learning process for the blog has been challenging and I continue to explore and learn more each time I work on it. I now even have two followers, happy to see they are both quilt lovers.

Happy Easter to all. I was able to call and talk to my family today. Bill and I had a quiet Easter, went to Church and had a quiet dinner just the two of us. Our traditional Easter meal of ham, scalloped potatoes, green bean caserole, and fruit salad.

Did not even go down to my sewing room today, looked at a couple of quilting magazines. Even sent an e-mail to Quiltmaker editor a photo of a bed quilt I made using a pattern from their magazine, who knows maybe they will show it. It was a variation of the South Shore Road quilt, I needed it to be bedsize so I ad to change the pattern a bit. It is fairly like the original, I made the pelican but ended up not using it on the quilt, but did use it on another project -- cannot even remember what it was used on. I will try to post the photo here that I sent to Quiltmaker.

Went and quilted on the long arm, there is a lady here who rents time on her machine. I think that is the only way I will ever get things quilted is on a long arm, using my home sewing machine is very difficult and really puts a strain on my neck and arms. Hopefully the more I do it the better I will get at it, she lives only 10 minutes from my house. She allows me to quilt at no charge for charity quilts, I just bring her a tax write off form from the charity. This way it gives me some practice time and gets a charity quilt completed. I worked on my Christmas Quilt yesterday and I still have some things to do on it, some I missed, one block I had to rip out part of it as I became a little carried away.

Hopefully I will get some help on how to set up a Picasa Album on line, I really would like to have a slide show of my various quilts. I continue to go to the help section but have not really figured out how to get the photos downloaded. I am on dial up and it is so slow I think it times out before I get it done. I will continue to e-mail the photo to my blogspot.

I am going to my sewing room to finish up the quilting on my Christmas quilt, get the binding made and hopefully sewn on before it is time to get dinner going. All for now.

Have not posted much, really do want to start writting something everyday. My neighbor and I will be going to quilt tomorrow with another friend in IA. We participate in the block of the Month, work on our own projects and then go get the block and get it completed for the next month. Since our friends husband has been very ill we have missed the last month at her house, she said she really would like to have the day to sew with us. We are ready to go and quilt with Gail!

Hope to get to go to the long arm quilter tomorrow evening and get several baby quilts done. I am new at it and need lots of practice. It is something really very enjoyable, feel very lucky to have met someone who rents out time on her machine. She lives very close to me and it is so nice to have the opportunity to spend time on the machine.

New to blogging, but willing to give it a try.

I am new at this and hope you will leave your comments again. I have not seen the one from a friend, but I did go into the settings and changed something in the comment section. Hopefully this will work. Have a great day of quilting or what ever you are doing.

If you would like to make a comment please place text in this box.

By husband and I went to the Blooms and Quilt Show at St Cecelia Cathedral this afternoon. It was such a beautiful show. The flowers were paired with quilts and both were just wonderful, the florists did have an advantage by seeing the quilts and actually had a good dose of creative juice.
