Alicia Paulson's blog "Posy Gets Cozy" was the very first blog I ever followed....and still do. Over the past few months, she has been preparing for a baby which they were adopting. Sadly, while they had the baby for a few days, the adoption fell through. I am as bereft as if this happened to a member of my own family. Alicia is a wonderful writer and her pain is evident in her post<a href="http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/"> http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/</a><br />
Please say a prayer for her and her husband and for the Birth Mother and that sweet baby girl.<br />
<br />
And the world spins madly on....<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4sa2HoXpsE&ob=av2e">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4sa2HoXpsE&ob=av2e</a> </div>angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07511013137054767540noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268905325861970741.post-57448110615212683982011-10-16T19:37:00.000-07:002011-10-17T21:46:05.093-07:00MUG RUG MANIA<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">It's all about the Mug Rugs around here...this is the one I received from the Scrappy Mug Rug Swap<br />

It has been a little crazy here with my "real" job. I have a big (it may have a 5 and an 0 in it) birthday on the horizon. To ease my pain, I commissioned a doll quilt to be made by Carol (mamacjt) <a href="http://mamacjt.blogspot.com/">http://mamacjt.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
I became familiar with her work in the doll swaps in which I have been a participant. She is soooo talented! Check out her work here <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35289170@N06/sets/72157627412420480/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/35289170@N06/sets/72157627412420480/</a><br />
<br />
She is also well-liked...a group of quilters recently finished a quilt for her...check it out here<br />

I am totally in awe of her talent....she makes everything look effortless!<br />
<br />
Here is the quilt she made me! <br />

On September 10, 2001, I along with many other parents and teachers headed to Oklahoma to chaperone my daughter's 5th grade class for a week of camp. There was so much anticipation for that day and that morning was full of laughter, smiles and excitement....CAMP.....FUN....OUTDOOR SCHOOL! Happiness is how I would describe it.<br />
<br />
The next day, of course, the terrible tragedy of 9-11. The decision was made to stay at camp but not tell the students about the horror the nation was witnessing.<br />
<br />
The last night we were there, we celebrated with a bonfire and smores. It was a beautiful night...the sky was full of stars and I remember wondering what was going to happen to all of us....what kind of world were we facing? I wanted to bottle the innocence I had around me.<br />
<br />
When we got back to Texas on Friday, September 14th, the parking lot was full of parents. Stricken is the only word I know to describe the way they looked. The smiles were gone....only anxiousness to reclaim their children. Our world had changed forever.<br />
<br />

During this long, hot summer, I have participated in a few swaps with fellow quilters. The first swap was the 80's Swap. Remember the 80's?? My partner surprised me with the best gift, a replica of my Sony Walkman...<br />

I am always amazed at what our members create. I had originally gotten a polka dot fat quarter as my "ugly" but a rumbling of discontent among the members took place....whispers of "that looks like it belongs in your stash" etc., etc. To stop the backlash and quell the angry mob (!), I picked another fat quarter courtesy of Sarah (Pink Pixie).<br />

What fun he was to watch ...diving and swimming...and the sweetest little quacks...precious! I was afraid that it would get too hot for him today (over 100 is the estimate) so I had to call animal control. The AC officer said that he would have probably drowned if I hadn't. Goodbye sweet little duck!<br />
<br />
In all of this....I was able to only finish two blocks for my FWQ (a third was a complete failure)....<br />

<br />
And then there was the fight with mustard algae in the pool<br />
<br />
And I had double ear infections....<br />
<br />
And my daughter is back for the summer which means laundry just got ugly.....<br />
<br />
Sooo...in all of that free, uninterrupted time, I decided to make a purse. <br />
<br />
I started <b>sewing a year ago</b> and thought it would be a good way to hone my skills....little did I know!<br />
<br />
<br />
I started with a vintage piece I had picked up...an old clothes pin bag.....<br />
<br />
I read many blogs to try and understand how to proceed...these bloggers were particularly helpful:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.noodle-head.com/">http://www.noodle-head.com/</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://ww.psiquilt.com/2009/08/friendship-bag-tutorial.html">ww.psiquilt.com/2009/08/friendship-bag-tutorial.html</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I used this pattern from Sew Mama Sew<br />
<a href="http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2011/01/free-pdf-pattern-from-the-bag-making-bible-bag-give">http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2011/01/free-pdf-pattern-from-the-bag-making-bible-bag-give</a><br />
<br />
but did not try to make it reversible...<br />
<br />
Also, the book Stitch by Stitch (by Deborah Moebes) was invaluable.....<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Stitch-Learning-Sew-Project-Time/dp/1440211612">http://www.amazon.com/Stitch-Learning-Sew-Project-Time/dp/1440211612</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I started with strip piecing Swell fabric (jelly rolls) together....then I cut out those pieced strips out using the pattern from Sew Mama Sew...<br />
<br />
I sewed the remaining pieces to my vintage piece and then cut it out using the pattern from Sew Mama Sew....<br />
<br />
I used yardage from the Sweet line to make the lining...<br />
<br />
Things were going good...The outside pieces went together beautifully...I then put batting on each and free motioned quilted each side...now to do my box pleats....<br />
<br />
I measured two inches from the side....drew my line and cut....Did I say cut before I sewed the line.....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO<br />

I JUST CUT A HOLE IN MY "soon to be" PURSE!!! Did I scream? Look at the clips below to get an idea of my despair!<br />

<br />
<br />
So, how do I fix it? Since I had already quilted these pieces, I just recut and quilted some pieces and added them as you would on the "quilt as you go" method. I added the pieces on with my zig-zag stitch.<br />
<br />
I made the handles with two different Swell fabric designs. I sewed one piece on interfacing and then the two together...<br />
<br />
This website was invaluable on an easy method on turning the pieces inside out and on sewing the lining to the outer fabric....<br />

</tbody></table>One of the fun features of this swap is that you don't know who is making your quilt. The other fun factor is the use of "in progress" photos to show your quilt and see if your partner comments. I nailed this one when I commented on one of her photos that "this has to be for me!" <br />

Linda....thank you sooooo much! I'm taking the quilt to my DMQG meeting on Thursday to show it off!! </div>angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07511013137054767540noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268905325861970741.post-46349650206103597412011-04-02T19:25:00.001-07:002011-04-02T20:29:33.883-07:00DQS 10 Partner Inspiration<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="padding: 3px; text-align: left;">I recently finished my doll quilt for DQS10. In January, this group was selected and we were given the information on our "secret partner." My partner listed her likes as "<b>color, innovation and creativity</b>." After perusing (stalking) her blog <a href="http://www.mae-dos-muitos.blogspot.com/">http://www.mae-dos-muitos.blogspot.com/</a> , I was able to find out many things about her. Her blog title "mother of many" is just an inkling of her devotion to her children. Her blog gave me insight into her family, their trips together and things she liked. Isabel (my partner) is located in Portugal and there were many photos of their family beach trips. Two things that really struck me were artwork drawn by her children.<br />

I knew I wanted to use embroidery in my doll quilt. Originally, I thought I would use the children's artwork as the centerpiece but, after much consideration, I thought it would seem too "folk-artish." I had found a pattern from Floresita's website and thought it seemed somewhat "Portuguese." Lucky for me, I had five snow days to really get a lot done on it....<br />

I had originally planned to use Kaffe Fassett fabrics but when I saw the new "Honey Child" line from Jennifer Paganelli, then I knew it was perfect fabric.<br />

And so..the package was mailed and has been received. My partner Isabel has left me the loveliest messages...one of which I include below:<br />
<br />
<i>"I received a real tresor yesterday! Angie (retromama61) send me a box of jewels on it. The doll quilt is amazing, and colorfoul, and creative and every thin I love on it.<br />
I'm specially happy with the pillow that she made for us, catching a picture from the children about our family. It was the most beautiful thing that I ever seen on my life from a person that don't really know us. Thank you, dear Angie. You are a very generous person! I'm so glad you are my secret swaper.<br />
The kids play all night with the toys she send with and I can't wait to make something beautifuil with the extra fabric.</i>"<br />
<i>Love you! </i><br />
<br />
I soooo enjoyed making this quilt and pillow and participating in this swap. What a fun experience it has been!!! Now...I am waiting (im)patiently for MY quilt to arrive from my secret partner...I'll keep you posted!! <br />

I found this quilt top at one of the vendors selling antique tops, fabric, feedsacks, etc. I loved this top but it was very yellowed and stained on the outer portions....I hesitated to buy it but, at $65.00, it was a bargain. A really sweet lady happened to be at the booth and told me the best way to get rid of the yellow stains was to soak it in Oxyclean, Cascade and Borax (equal parts of each)...she assured me that using this would work. She was right....<br />

This photo was taken last year in East Texas when I was visiting my parents. This tree is absolutely drop dead gorgeous at this time of year.....why didn't I plant one?!!!<br />
<br />
This week is Spring Break for my children...one is in Colorado skiing and one is on one endless trip to Six Flags, spending the night, going to play putt putt, etc...he only needs money and he is fine. I am celebrating the mundane in my life right now. After watching the news and seeing the devastation in Japan, I appreciate the mundane. Using the lemon oil to clean my furniture...cleaning out closets, mopping the floor...I appreciate it all. I rode to Waco with the Hubs on Sunday...he had some work to do and I was able to embroidery my quilt label for DQGS10... a perfectly mundane day. I loved it.<br />
<br />
Finally...I am looking forward to Saturday when all of us will be together...<br />

</tbody></table>I hope you enjoyed the virtual tour. It was a FUN DAY and many vendors there willing to sell you wonderful things!! I was willing to buy some wonderful things....two of my friends scored a jelly roll of Denyse Schmidt's Katie Jump Rope and one friend purchased a wonderful Lone Star Quilt done in 30s fabric....I found one of those also!! By 1:00 p.m., I was pooped....I may or may not have taken a nap this afternoon after I got home! :) <br />
<br />
Of course, once I got home, I saw all news on the tsunami and devastation in Japan....saying a prayer for them....I believe a donation to the Red Cross is in order.</div>angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07511013137054767540noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268905325861970741.post-63592817326489178862011-03-01T07:30:00.000-08:002011-03-02T14:54:26.469-08:00DOLL QUILT SWAP #2<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: left;">We recently participated in our Doll Quilt Swap for our friendship group through the Dallas Modern Quilt Guild.
