I am going to try to keep track, and will post on Sunday. I have already bought fabric today though! I bought nylon to work on something for DH so I think I should get brownie points for that! I also bought a ton of interfacing on sale. Ironic that I use this on T-Shirt Quilts and that is what the challenge is this month so I am good to go on that.</span><br />

And then I could not find it and this post as just been sitting there mocking me! Well, no more I have found the blog where I originally saw the tute, <a href="http://shealynns-faerie-shoppe.blogspot.com/2011/08/book-clock-tutorial.html">http://shealynns-faerie-shoppe.blogspot.com/2011/08/book-clock-tutorial.html</a>.<br />
<br />
I wanted to make this for a friend, and of course I had a ton of those books that were in my Dad's attic. So here is my clock.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvdtW0dt_k6qWhKtbHGCheVFR2FLc8svGZQt-BHdwUmxIVTQIJ9a9KflzMzUUCZRTvJWdp0p_DdVTzLHQElQ87jVi3cbJkmDk9Md0Gc_S67HvYtxHCcK0swD9u3p1dwd_v2s_AT1LnyxLm/s1600/book.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvdtW0dt_k6qWhKtbHGCheVFR2FLc8svGZQt-BHdwUmxIVTQIJ9a9KflzMzUUCZRTvJWdp0p_DdVTzLHQElQ87jVi3cbJkmDk9Md0Gc_S67HvYtxHCcK0swD9u3p1dwd_v2s_AT1LnyxLm/s320/book.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It took a while to cut the pages but I think it turned out well and She liked it! </div>Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14637424832343304557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287135809887974197.post-11299688199057482822011-12-20T11:44:00.000-08:002011-12-20T11:44:27.502-08:00UFO's for 2012No, I haven't been out at night looking for spaceships! I read Judy at <a href="http://www.patchworktimes.com/">http://www.patchworktimes.com/</a>. She has a UFO Challenge each year and this year I am going to join in. Each month she picks a number between 1 and 12 and that is the project you work on that month. The hard thing is figuring which 12 projects to finish! <br />
<br />
So here is my list for 2012! And they are not all quilts, but stuff I really need to finish sewing to.<br />
<br />
1. Seat cushion covers for a friend. Ummm, I have had these on the list for like 4 years maybe? Wow should work on those soon!<br />
<br />
2. A embroidered quilt from blocks made by a friends Mother. The embroidery is already done, just need to put in a quilt.<br />
<br />
3. DD's Quilt - Top is made, back is almost done, just really needs quilted and bound.<br />
<br />
4. DD's T-shirt Quilt - Just need to add a couple of shirts and back and quilt. Lets see she is 19 and was supposed to get this on her 16th?<br />
<br />
5. DS's T-shirt Quilt - Have the shirts prepped so need to pick up from there. He is only 17 so only a year late on this!<br />
<br />
6. Christmas Tree Skirt - Not sure how long I have had this.<br />
<br />
7. Amish Country Quilt - I pick up fabric each time we go, so this may never be done!<br />
<br />
8. Blue & Yellow Quilt - Top is done and needs quilted<br />
<br />
9. Dad's Quilt - This is a quilt that the batting bunched up on and I took it apart to fix and did not get it back together before he died, at that time I put it away. Now I want to get it done for me.<br />
<br />
10. State Quilt - I have patches signed by most of the counties in my state and started this in 200something for our 200th year.<br />
<br />
11. Secret Sister Quilt - I was in a secret sister quilt block swap around 2000.<br />
<br />
12. Pillowcases - I have a ton of them that I sewed the cuffs on and just need to sew the seams.<br />
<br />
I am also in a block swap on Flikr and have a few quilts to make for a show this year! Lots to do and we will be moving too, Wow, can I just sleep through 2012?Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14637424832343304557noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287135809887974197.post-80228680445030137522011-10-29T17:04:00.000-07:002011-10-29T17:04:53.571-07:00I can't believe it!Yes, it has been a while since I posted, sometimes life just gets busy! Here is something that I have been busy with....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lghttp.10957.nexcesscdn.net/804DA9/Accuquilt.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/370x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/5/5/55300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="370" src="http://lghttp.10957.nexcesscdn.net/804DA9/Accuquilt.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/370x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/5/5/55300.jpg" width="370" /></a></div>Cool, huh? I won this beauty, even better! If you check out Accuquilt on FaceBook, they have a Friday Fun Question, you anser the question and see if you get an email saying you've won. Well I got the email, and then I deleted it without realizing I had won! I emailed Accuquilt and asked if maybe possiabley I won. They answered back pretty fast and got the Go! Baby right out to me.<br />
<br />
I have been saving for this or the larger cutter and now I could use this money to buy dies. This is such a hard decision! There are so many great dies to choose, finally I chose the 2 1/2" strip die. I cut my fabric into 2 1/2" strips for bindings, so this will save so much time. I can lay as many layers as I need and cut them all at once. The ends of the strip die does not have blades, so I don't have to worry about getting short pieces. This die is great and the Go! Baby is so neat and small. Now I will pick up dies every so often and save a lot of time cutting basic shapes and the shaped dies are so cute, maybe I will start doing applique!<br />
<br />
It seems as if this has turned into a review! Well it is fun to use and easy to store!<br />
<br />

I am halfway through my 3 x 6 bee swap blocks. This quarter I decided to do something different than the regular blocks I have been making. <br />
<br />
I stepped it up with quarter square triangles. I like how they form the pinwheels. They take a little more time, but they are fun to make. I hope my swap buddies like them.<br />

Craigslist to the rescue! I found this tall skinny cabinet for hardly nothing. In the picture it looked cream colored, but in real life it was mustard. That was not the color I wanted, so I got out the paint, hmm, red or white? White, of course!<br />
<br />

I repainted it and could not wait to get it in the kitchen! And load it down with vintage stuff! I love the vintage feel to it. See the glasses? I bought those at a yard sale on a whim, like $.50. They are the green glass that is bubbly. The kids love them! They generally roll their eyes when Mom comes home with stuff, but they use these every day, I am always washing and putting them back! Who'd a thunk it?<br />

Whoa, what was that and is it for sale? Yes, it was! It was a wonderful vintage patio set with the glass top and all 4 chairs! How much? $10! Yes, $10! Yes, Please, and Thank You! There was a few minutes that I thought maybe I would have to leave my car stuff at the sale to get the set home, but I got it all in the back of the Jeep. <br />
<br />
So later after I picked up paint, a really pretty yellow. I sanded the rusty spots and sprayed it with the paint. It was already yellow just faded. That made it easy to paint. Now for the cushions. I did not know what I wanted but narrowed it down to red, black or aqua. Off to Joann's I went and got piping and fabric, all of their outdoor was 50% off so I saved some bucks there. I chose a Aqua fabric, just because that is what they had that I liked. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh29yrLsgVkLq6jg5hzz-M0qSqhVZIk5ypV2ZGqgdr6g0nbUeKMhgHGCrp5E8mSwazBFBm1s85KmCjjRLXqTnO5fqXXGlgJ3eN3svPV5WKdROV7kr66utz6xb9liUG2IuljNTutL4HA2e8x/s1600/seat.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh29yrLsgVkLq6jg5hzz-M0qSqhVZIk5ypV2ZGqgdr6g0nbUeKMhgHGCrp5E8mSwazBFBm1s85KmCjjRLXqTnO5fqXXGlgJ3eN3svPV5WKdROV7kr66utz6xb9liUG2IuljNTutL4HA2e8x/s320/seat.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
So now fast forward 2 weeks, and this it what I have now! Isn't it great! I love it and so does the family, it will look really good on the sun porch, bring a little summer to the winter!<br />

Now what am I going to do with them? I didn't want to just throw them in a drawer and see them every once in a while when I opened that drawer! So I made this neat display for them. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTVq6QiOa7DPsVVNG2pYBAYPb-x-Xet8DVgOd50ovCulXsrSnhg4AaqDC-SaFhFxNL3t1NzZzP_cxinPOU7XylP8Si2H-z1k0Pcv0d2rx85RoTBWaQx0N2dGmYZpQ34dgyVsOFGW0iPKey/s1600/5901653660_c4846e7d63%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTVq6QiOa7DPsVVNG2pYBAYPb-x-Xet8DVgOd50ovCulXsrSnhg4AaqDC-SaFhFxNL3t1NzZzP_cxinPOU7XylP8Si2H-z1k0Pcv0d2rx85RoTBWaQx0N2dGmYZpQ34dgyVsOFGW0iPKey/s320/5901653660_c4846e7d63%255B1%255D.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>I just figured out the size I wanted it to be this is 15 x 24, and cut a triangle with the mountains that reminded me of the ones out west. Sew on the grey, then another triangle and more grey, etc..... I just winged it on the sizes. I quilted it with bright yellow for the "road". Then bound it and hung it in the hallway! I love the way it turned out! I get to see it everyday and remember a great vacation! Maybe I should sew on a sleeve and hang it right? LOL Now I need one for the Quilt Shop Pins I have in my drawer!<br />

I have always used the plastic kind you find at the dollar stores and such. Well I decided to give Craigslist a whirl. Low and behold I found a vintage metal hamper! WOW and only $15. Deal! DH was kind enough to get it for me and I claimed it to be my Mothers Day Gift, which made them all happy! It even came with a small trash can, the can is streaked for some reason, but who will notice?<br />

I took the plunge and have started this blog. I love to read them and now will write one. I would like to use this for posting of my numerous quilt projects and things I want to redo at home, also to show my vintage finds. I hope I post things worth reading!
