Yes, I want to try some new things in all of these areas.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I haven't posted in a while because I haven't been working on any sewing projects. I've just been busy enjoying all the holiday activities.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">My Farm Girl quilt group loves and only works on anything Lori Holt. We usually meet the second and fourth Monday of the month at Quilter's Oasis, a very nice quilt shop in Mesa, Arizona.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We are doing three blocks a month from Lori's books. Each month, we make a 12" and two 6" blocks of flowers that our "mother hen" chooses. When the year is over, we put the blocks together however we want and have a huge trunk show! It's always so much fun and includes lots of laughter and good food.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here are the blocks I've made so far, I'm using Ruby Star Society fabric and my background is a silvery Christmas print by Gingeber.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">As you can see, we have already been doing this for 5 months.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvF62H-yjs87fRCsF3fHAjm4DkIcGVcg7bTJMLtQDlk4WxbOhY258oK15-DEghZigdX6VOds4HChjRsVQ5OEDl5gLsbO2ti-C1Mmbya95Zlg5V7sIRZbqriUz44XAQKIDOWvzc0RdfxYjNLJntbeOr1G2cPRXfNzIrwUYqYBssbFfXXl0dsEl_fi-XIkOS/s2406/IMG_0405.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2256" data-original-width="2406" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvF62H-yjs87fRCsF3fHAjm4DkIcGVcg7bTJMLtQDlk4WxbOhY258oK15-DEghZigdX6VOds4HChjRsVQ5OEDl5gLsbO2ti-C1Mmbya95Zlg5V7sIRZbqriUz44XAQKIDOWvzc0RdfxYjNLJntbeOr1G2cPRXfNzIrwUYqYBssbFfXXl0dsEl_fi-XIkOS/w640-h600/IMG_0405.HEIC" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">For Christmas my son and his family gave me a nice tripod with a light ring which will brighten my photos when I use my iPhone to take quilt photos.

I'm making some English smocked dresses for some of my grand daughters. It's very slow going though, so I'm not sure if I'll have them done in time for Christmas 😬 </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I'm going to do the best that I can! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Setting the pleater up was a big deal, because I haven't done it in 8 or more years! I put my quilting thread in this container from Target that I use for storage. I threaded each thread through a hole and then threaded the pleater. The needles in the pleater have a bend in them so that they will go around the rod.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdizUuyCx4nVy-udOQweGfQzwqkCH9C90Z1cgtqy10LmDmq0FLnoUNd4EgTTBkVqgNE5Cj30yK6R4IX24hEdmstTQmR00lMbwY438upypG27mfH4z5d-L2XRyRDFFy3Y7ZgfKKr2wPmY1jMrr3Xc0bD_H9V_MxUuQTeDzBuAPnsENYiBz5Dz6cAadE9lMA/s1588/il_1588xN.4095327473_lsus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1550" data-original-width="1588" height="624" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdizUuyCx4nVy-udOQweGfQzwqkCH9C90Z1cgtqy10LmDmq0FLnoUNd4EgTTBkVqgNE5Cj30yK6R4IX24hEdmstTQmR00lMbwY438upypG27mfH4z5d-L2XRyRDFFy3Y7ZgfKKr2wPmY1jMrr3Xc0bD_H9V_MxUuQTeDzBuAPnsENYiBz5Dz6cAadE9lMA/w640-h624/il_1588xN.4095327473_lsus.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">It took me so long to thread all 16 needles.

The second time worked, thank goodness! It took me a whole afternoon though.

There's a fantastically wonderful quilt shop there called Copper Needle. Gina Perkes is the owner, and she's also a pattern designer and long armer extraordinaire ❤️</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once a month, on a Saturday morning, she has a demo day where she demonstrates how to make a quilt that she just designed. Our retreat happened to be during that weekend, so we all made our reservations to go. Gina is so nice and so funny and so pretty, she actually designed two versions of her "Frolic" quilt pattern. She has the demo in a movie theater room, just two doors down from her shop which is in a strip mall. Gina always has 3 or 4 color versions of her quilt that she is demonstrating. You can also follow Copper Needle on Facebook and see her demo there. The cool thing about attending in person, is that she gives everyone the quilt pattern. After that, it can be purchased at her shop. She has a whole wall full of quilt patterns that she's designed.

I managed to have all the Santa heads going horizontally, and the other prints weren't directional. I had the poinsettia fabric left over from another quilt, and I was thrilled that it all worked out. I really love it! I want to back it in some soft minky fabric, maybe a frosted blue or vintage pink, or even a cream. It's not too big, so I can machine quilt it myself. I don't know if I can get it done by Christmas though, because I have a lot of secret sewing to do.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw3DjQ9Apaep67vVzlc7O-sUifj4A9M-n2VocFDJgflxeDsYo1EeFRlB1y7r4JvQ4UmRxSAsi7UXFSA_BdUzWexUEQa1IAdU4qN6c22643aU3J0Xynlvu9s9lVMlPSZMNiGZonKoJ1ZypaR7jro9ph0b2eDMFsf3jTry6SmkzrI0TqJ_zebEhl9JkAIUqP/s4032/IMG_9706.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw3DjQ9Apaep67vVzlc7O-sUifj4A9M-n2VocFDJgflxeDsYo1EeFRlB1y7r4JvQ4UmRxSAsi7UXFSA_BdUzWexUEQa1IAdU4qN6c22643aU3J0Xynlvu9s9lVMlPSZMNiGZonKoJ1ZypaR7jro9ph0b2eDMFsf3jTry6SmkzrI0TqJ_zebEhl9JkAIUqP/w480-h640/IMG_9706.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for following, see you next week :)</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>dream quilt createhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13659318605290158236noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304454059592380252.post-14759882561015672992023-11-05T23:00:00.086-08:002023-11-05T23:00:00.131-08:00Dinosaurs quilt<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I posted about this quilt a while back, but I finally gifted it, so wanted to tell you more about it. I've made a few Elizabeth Hartman quilts before and have always loved the process! Making one of her quilts is like putting a puzzle together, there are so many little pieces! It's the joy in the journey, and it's always so much more fun when I know who I'm making the quilt for. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I chose blue fat quarters from my stash, some light blues and some darker blues. It almost gives an hombre effect. I had to buy the background fabric. I chose a mottled slate which I wouldn't have liked it on its own but knew it would be cute with the dinosaurs. I made the baby size, which is a quarter of the regular size. In the past, I have made two regular size Elizabeth Hartman quilts, <a href="http://dreamquiltcreate.blogspot.com/awesomeocean">Awesome Ocean </a>and <a href="http://dreamquiltcreate.blogspot.com/penguinparty">Penguin Party</a>, and I machine quilted them both myself. I've also made Fancy Forest in baby size, in both <a href="http://dreamquiltcreate.blogspot.com/fancyforestisquilted!">blues</a> and <a href="http://dreamquiltcreate.blogspot.com/fancyforestquilt">pinks/oranges</a>.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs5c4x7RUcqo9kibZEqlt_Rtubna1oMumSwKMs-PPVgQWTpVRjzYDUiDHGCU8OG1yMMM4FNzUMExOXRryvnadCDG9gGAz2jhsthHqIeazhb2HRFjsztzlWjxy7X6sGp-2KAM_czeAkp2DRYg_gWvBg2HrDHc2wyWtBOmB89Q8NZioY6-OUA5Ww4N5CxlRt/s3223/FullSizeRender.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3223" data-original-width="2725" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs5c4x7RUcqo9kibZEqlt_Rtubna1oMumSwKMs-PPVgQWTpVRjzYDUiDHGCU8OG1yMMM4FNzUMExOXRryvnadCDG9gGAz2jhsthHqIeazhb2HRFjsztzlWjxy7X6sGp-2KAM_czeAkp2DRYg_gWvBg2HrDHc2wyWtBOmB89Q8NZioY6-OUA5Ww4N5CxlRt/w542-h640/FullSizeRender.jpeg" width="542" /></a></p><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can see the wavy stitch I used to machine quilt, on my Bernini QE 750.

You will receive the FREE patterns in your email.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This first block is called the Skull Quilt. I had so much fun choosing the fabric, one of my favorite parts!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another thing I really love about this quilt along is that each block uses a different method. They aren't necessarily difficult, but you have to read carefully. I'm going to say it's not for beginners. I've used my seam ripper quite a bit. Something that's really hard for me is that I don't have a color printer and the patterns are more difficult to figure out in black and white. Just saying....</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNxlwgWQ1Ovv7lGa-9ycL3zvQgauLGyax0qUzIlPI8TR5lWcDzyu4uDy7zwJLoweu-s4eQ48gZGxZDGTdn88XhcgbNujGFZybjan0t6w1bH2ymwg0iQIjEOD__OaFuEw6sw6DNIup4yovCiPo6Nsc3FwheFQPaLp8BDyldn6Vwy3lS6hkT6rfnh1jtZt8w/s1800/52501EF8-1A10-40FC-A228-8940E8C1C099.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNxlwgWQ1Ovv7lGa-9ycL3zvQgauLGyax0qUzIlPI8TR5lWcDzyu4uDy7zwJLoweu-s4eQ48gZGxZDGTdn88XhcgbNujGFZybjan0t6w1bH2ymwg0iQIjEOD__OaFuEw6sw6DNIup4yovCiPo6Nsc3FwheFQPaLp8BDyldn6Vwy3lS6hkT6rfnh1jtZt8w/w512-h640/52501EF8-1A10-40FC-A228-8940E8C1C099.jpeg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Block 2 is the Hallowpop block.

I made him some gifts that I thought would be helpful. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is a Crosley pouch by Centerstreet quilts. I chose this pattern because it is flat. I handwrite almost 363 uplifting quotes, thoughts and scriptures and cut them into strips. I slipped them into the pouch. The idea is that he can read one every two days and it will inspire him. He can share it with his companion, share it with his district or zone, decorate his wall with them, give it to someone or just throw them away. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBzlWLb0kPfZ1iNjhTnvGXZOjwclM2m_jx7kYbl2KsNU5OAutK9Fn87tQLf_0h8d4VA0bVYg5ir01Pd_osPFPBeFM06_Qtt5K_LJws4qzSKmNoB50o5FhTE1w6VTUI1Ibfmkqjvcz0NsQ90i6_YWE8iNs-_Qo85qbKw_RMzMLhayP4R7biOFNAZ-Ikc_rY/s4032/IMG_9261.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBzlWLb0kPfZ1iNjhTnvGXZOjwclM2m_jx7kYbl2KsNU5OAutK9Fn87tQLf_0h8d4VA0bVYg5ir01Pd_osPFPBeFM06_Qtt5K_LJws4qzSKmNoB50o5FhTE1w6VTUI1Ibfmkqjvcz0NsQ90i6_YWE8iNs-_Qo85qbKw_RMzMLhayP4R7biOFNAZ-Ikc_rY/w480-h640/IMG_9261.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I also made him a sewing kit.

I was a little disappointed that I wasn't able to sew the sashing and the borders, I was hoping to complete the quilt top at the retreat. I made a mistake in the final block and thought I had more fabric at home.
