What can I say about this quilt... this quilt was my Megan's Law Quilt. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I broke needles, my thread kept snapping, my backing fabric was short by 1/2 an inch, ext., ext.. It took me 11 months to finish this quilt, because I would get so frustrated from everything that went wrong. I felt like every time I would start working on it I would run into a new issue. So today when I put the last stitch on the binding I just about did a happy dance!</div>

Over all I am very happy with the way it came out. Yes, there are a few flaws (Megan's flaws) but I think they give the quilt more character. Over the 11 months I that i work on this quilt I grew quite attached to it and I Hope the woman I made this for will love it as much as I do.</div>

<p>It's been a few months since my last blog and I have had a few finishes. I want to start with a quilt I did for my friends daughter, Lucia. It is the blue & pink half square diamond quilt. With this quilt instead of using batting I used a fleece backing, also instead of quilting it I tied it. I did close to three hundred ties. It was worth the time I put into it when I saw the Lucia's face, when she saw it.</p>
<p>Tie Dye</p>
<p>Last month, for Dragon Day at the kids school, was Hippie Day. So my friend Shelley and myself made tie dye shirts for the kids. I really like how they came out.</p>
<p>Wall Hanging</p>
<p>I made a Halloween wall hanging for my house last week. I made the backing big enough to make a self binding quilt. Everything you see around the panel is the backing folded over to the front. </p>
<p>The kids really enjoy looking at it and coming up with stories about it.</p>
<p>Trinitie</p>
<p>And last but not least is a picture of my daughter sleeping with one of her quilts. It makes me happy to see my children using and enjoying the quilts I make, with love, for them.</p>
<p>Till next time, have fun sewing!</p>

I made these candy jars for the kids teacher's as a welcome back to school and a thank you for teaching my children. On the bottom of the jar are pictures of my kids and a piece of felt to protect the jar from being broken against a table.<br />

This year I am participating in a six month long swap ( <a href="http://santasackswap.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Santa Sack Swap</a> ) and I was partnered with Vicki over at <a href="http://www.a-creativenotion.com/" target="_blank">A Creative Notion</a> . This is the first package I was sent and I can't even open it! I will have to <strike>be tempted</strike> wait untill December to open these gifts. It is going to be very hard not to sneak a peak at the packages I will be getting.<br />

I used to store this stuff in totes and stack it in a corner on my sewing table. My space was getting so cramped and I was having a hard time keeping my table clean. Also, everytime I went looking for some fabric I would find myself digging to the bottom of the totes and making a mess of my fabric. So I decided to move my things. This pantry/closet was being used more as a catch all space so I cleaned it out and made it my art storage room. I'm so happy to have more space at my sewing table!Marissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16689294590517866093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624246513666004347.post-90595154071724241072012-06-28T16:40:00.001-07:002012-06-28T16:48:15.434-07:00My Temporary Sewing Space!<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-pLVSyfb6JDY/T-zrahjdxfI/AAAAAAAAAPM/wPK-mGX3jhI/s0/IMAG2066.jpg"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-pLVSyfb6JDY/T-zrahjdxfI/AAAAAAAAAPM/wPK-mGX3jhI/s400/IMAG2066.jpg" /></a><br />

Next week my kids will be going away for a month for summer vacation. My daughter is going with my parents to washington and my son is going with my in-laws in L.A.. It will be a long several weeks without them here to keep me company. They were both worrying about being away, so i decided to make them snuggly blankets to keep them cozy & comfortable. I hope they will also feel like they have a bit of home with them while they are away from home.</div>

So, I found this really cool fabric at the flea market this weekend & I really love it. My only problem is I don't know what to do with it. I think it could look good as a rag quilt, but the thought of choping it up is killing me. So, then I thought maybe I'll use it as backing, but again I think it has more potential than to just bee used as backing. <br />
<br />
So, I ask, how would you use it? <br />
<br />
Till next time, have fun sewing!<br />

Irene was assigned me a her partner & worked hard to make me a mini quilt. When she was done she sent Me the quilt she made, somewhere during it's journey, from the United Kingdom, my package was lost. Irene was so upset by this and decided to make and send me another mini quilt. When she told me this I didn't think it was fair that she was making two quilts and only receiving one, so I decided I wanted to make her one too. So, the first picture is a seak peak picture of the one I am making for Irene. The second picture is if the mini quilt Irene made, who just today found its way home. <br/> <br/> Irene, thank you so much for the beaitiful mini quilt that you made me. <br/> <br/> Till next time, have fun sewing!<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4</div>Marissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16689294590517866093noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624246513666004347.post-1448977296712336732012-04-12T17:49:00.000-07:002012-04-12T17:49:13.079-07:00Quilting Mumma's Mug Rug Swap<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhst_9Kd83v0LDAmmiLXdUb_bucNWUV221yi7JHJQB2a8lzafBKD2xTKQZhj9rMeOJBDIdpTP4WC0N1dP0d0b1POTqegctUYyrA7bXxocaVh38ENV1VfWcTkzgch-_rWqnOLULGrS8NRkc/s1600/MugRug.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_9enbde="5" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhst_9Kd83v0LDAmmiLXdUb_bucNWUV221yi7JHJQB2a8lzafBKD2xTKQZhj9rMeOJBDIdpTP4WC0N1dP0d0b1POTqegctUYyrA7bXxocaVh38ENV1VfWcTkzgch-_rWqnOLULGrS8NRkc/s320/MugRug.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

If you remember I bought several yards of fabric on black friday and I made my daughter her quilt right away. I ment to do my son's as soon as I had finished my daughters but then I got distracted by Christmas and I never got around to it. So here we are, almost 4 months later and I just finished getting out done. Well, at least it's done... and my son loves it! <br/> <br/> Till next time, have fun sewing!<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4</div>Marissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16689294590517866093noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624246513666004347.post-7322373818908047432012-03-05T11:02:00.001-08:002012-03-05T11:02:41.551-08:00Quilting Frame<p><a href='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ivbcIAGpqlE/T1UNzmyS6AI/AAAAAAAAAKo/obqeBcsTDW4/IMAG1765.jpg'><img src='http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ivbcIAGpqlE/T1UNzmyS6AI/AAAAAAAAAKo/obqeBcsTDW4/s400/IMAG1765.jpg' /></a></p>I'm so excited and I just can't hide it! I got a quilt frame!!! I have been shopping around for one for a few months now & I found a woman who was selling hers on craigslist, so I jumped on the opportunity. I did buy it used but it is in "like new" condition. I got it put together yesterday and set it up to start quilting today. I can't wait to get started! So here I go, my first hand quilted quilt. Wish me luck! <br/> <br/> Till next time, have fun sewing!<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4</div>Marissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16689294590517866093noreply@blogger.com0
