All of my crochet and knitting goes to charities. There is such a great need out there for a lot of things. I do not consider myself a quilter, just someone who likes to dabble with easy patterns on occasion. I still visit blogs now and again and next time I do I'll be sure to say hi. I really admire what you do.<br /><br />Until next time...<br />BunnyBunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16558359217534466186noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247526152667108615.post-65805482443846108212009-05-22T19:10:00.003-04:002009-05-22T19:21:48.763-04:00Square Chase quilt<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlKZSo4JZKgiX9w-iMKVBW6VU1rzx-h6FYwml1yO8AajehHKpeAcHS_NDO8mAPaVgbaIN_giy44xZfrkjavY6RmntJD1w7F_C09kkCmOvmia6B_lB8Dy2NhsXZfjPPY5ZSHMBnnllRx6kp/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338789782076450690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 148px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlKZSo4JZKgiX9w-iMKVBW6VU1rzx-h6FYwml1yO8AajehHKpeAcHS_NDO8mAPaVgbaIN_giy44xZfrkjavY6RmntJD1w7F_C09kkCmOvmia6B_lB8Dy2NhsXZfjPPY5ZSHMBnnllRx6kp/s320/001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I have finally started on one of the quilt patterns from Judi over at <a href="http://www.greenfairyquilts.blogspot.com/">Green Fairy Quilts</a>.

It would work wonderful in pink for a girl also. The name of the pattern is Baby, Baby by Michele Crawford. The top was done this weekend and I called a lady on Monday to see if she would quilt it for me. She is picking it up tomorrow. I just have to iron the backing and it will be ready for her. I will post a pic of it when it is down Florida and Amanda and Roger have a chance to open it. Her due date is June 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span>. This is their 1st and everyone is so excited.<br />The baby shower was this past Sunday. I bought a bunch of things online from Babies-R-Us, had them gift wrap it and sent it <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">down</span> in time for the shower.

It runs from April 17 - 24th. I was not going to enter anything because I don't think my work compares to those that have been doing this for a long time. I then thought, if there is someone even remotely thinking about getting into quilting then, maybe mine will inspire someone. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The story behind this quilt is... One summer, in 2002, I crocheted afghans for my sons and their girlfriends. I think I made 4 or 5 that summer. By the time Christmas rolled around I didn't even want to look at another one, let alone make one. I was burnt out. I had enough. I thought, I just can't sit here doing nothing. What can I do that's different. I have always admired people that quilt. They are amazing. Never thinking I would be able to do something like that. I went to Joann Fabrics. My husband got me a sewing machine, I picked up a book called, Learning to Quilt. A beginners guide by Leisure Arts. (#1297). There are 25 lessons in the book. I went through the first couple and thought, gee, I can really do this! I came across a lesson called Card Trick. My daughter helped me pick out the fabric and off I went. There are mistakes in it trust me. For a first quilt though, I think it came out ok. I am proud of my accomplishment and it does get used. I don't think I would recommend something this big (it's fits our queen size bed) for a first quilt. Oh! I did quilt in the ditch myself on my little machine. Easy?? Not even! If I ever make one that size again, I will take to a professional to get done. </div><div></div><div>Thank you for visiting and looking at my quilt. </div><div></div><div>I will now go and enjoy looking at the many others that have been posted. </div><div> </div><div>Enjoy!</div><div> </div><div></div><div>Bunny</div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div>Edited:</div><div>Pat mentioned the hearts. I forgot about them. lol The corners looked like it needed something so I made a template of a heart and drew a pic in the corners and hand stitched them with a needle and thread. Some of them are a little iffy but, they look like hearts. </div></div>Bunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16558359217534466186noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247526152667108615.post-72913572120843184482009-04-18T18:23:00.003-04:002009-04-18T19:51:30.029-04:00Susan Boyle<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY</a><br /><br />I just wanted to share something my husband found while surfing the internet.

When I looked at it I knew it was the patterns I bought from <a href="http://www.greenfairyquilts.blogspot.com/">Green Fairy Quilts</a>. I am so excited to get them. I bought the <a href="http://greenfairyquilts.com/go/view.php?image=images/pattern2web.jpg"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Strippin</span> Time pattern </a>and got the <a href="http://greenfairyquilts.com/go/view.php?image=images/grandmatrellis.jpg">Grandma's Trellis quilt pattern </a>free.

I can see some Christmas gifts in the works with these patterns. The Square Chase and the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Strippin</span> Time would be great guy patterns with the right fabric. The Butterfly Mania is so cute and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">girly</span> and the Grandma Trellis one is so pretty.<br /><br />Thank you Judi for such <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">wonderful</span> patterns. I did take them to work with me today and opened the Butterfly Mania pattern. It is very easy to read and understand.

Well, I am excited to say I took advantage of it. I went ahead and ordered the Strippin Time quilt pattern and as my free pattern I ordered Grandma's Trellis Quilt Pattern. I know my chances are slim on winning the giveaway, that's why I went ahead and ordered it. The patterns seem simple enough. I certainly hope so. There were a couple of other patterns that I was looking at also that I may go back and get. Not sure yet. Just like crocheting or knitting, you can't have too many patterns. No such thing.<br /><br />It's raining here in Delaware this morning so, it will be a good day to get some sewing time in.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day!<br /><br />Until next time...<br />BunnyBunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16558359217534466186noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247526152667108615.post-26236980434030322342009-04-01T18:18:00.004-04:002009-04-01T18:42:47.708-04:00Exciting Giveaway at Green Fairy Quilts!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319852366736919506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 279px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIFiRcHyuFLRprE1QBa28DswfUjVqmTAq2QKDP0oBh6c5r9qLiGYi_R-_niVUCXhEE9mwY19BN8EIopHONeXYaMWAQz0CHdKR32WmBHUk8dwFVP6ryZG1JjY0lNMmffWOx6n0D2qq8_ErU/s320/cherryoh.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>There is a wonderful giveaway at <a href="http://www.greenfairyquilts.blogspot.com/">Green Fairy Quilts</a>.

I thought if I could get the quilt pinned that would be a very productive weekend. I found Quilters Fusible Batting by June Taylor. I thought this would be wonderful to use and save a lot of pinning. Everything was going well until I flipped it over while I was ironing and a part of it had wrinkled. Well, anyone that has used fusible anything knows it does not come apart that easy. To dissolve fusible it says to launder in cold water or rinse. I put it in the washer in cold water and then in the dryer. This is what I pulled out this morning. I have never had this happen to me before. The only thing I can think of that I changed on the machine was the stitch length. I went from 10 spi down to 6 spi. The only reason being is that I have had to rip them out before and it's not easy. So...I will go back to the drawing board and start over again. I will change my stitch back and see if it fixes anything. If that was the case though...why didn't all the seams come apart?? Oh well...</div><div> </div><div>Things work out this way for a reason. I'm so glad it happened now and not after I finished it and gave it away. That would be traumatic for me. </div><div> </div><div></div><div>I hope your Monday starts out better than mine did. </div><div> </div><div></div><div>Until next time...</div><div>Bunny<br /></div><div></div>Bunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16558359217534466186noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247526152667108615.post-74799468091341578012009-03-21T21:28:00.002-04:002009-03-21T21:44:00.258-04:00Progress for the day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZPOZbiVmzG0rskM1qmXrWiQA6IDEW_fTf_MdH-THpg99gcNTUujI-R-prGyvj2fQTJdb0OWP5zzgdHLwpVPWvYHjHaojTOiEWKIcmmedPzdxQRBVx_uPBEqazc6zXtnwmE8ESlrVv__Dg/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315818313018298386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZPOZbiVmzG0rskM1qmXrWiQA6IDEW_fTf_MdH-THpg99gcNTUujI-R-prGyvj2fQTJdb0OWP5zzgdHLwpVPWvYHjHaojTOiEWKIcmmedPzdxQRBVx_uPBEqazc6zXtnwmE8ESlrVv__Dg/s320/002.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCJxUPMncW8fuGbubdp9YKbNwN2_YeEKUnUQLlWJbF24BDautyR2dZjxcNbdNS0sdpjh2NGzOpJUp0L8McUIw6XjcIlOgwcgHYvABVuxKiD1QEfJP5X2srxbuN2ERJyAT6tzrhl0cZiake/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315818310311935778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 206px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCJxUPMncW8fuGbubdp9YKbNwN2_YeEKUnUQLlWJbF24BDautyR2dZjxcNbdNS0sdpjh2NGzOpJUp0L8McUIw6XjcIlOgwcgHYvABVuxKiD1QEfJP5X2srxbuN2ERJyAT6tzrhl0cZiake/s320/001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>All of the strips are done and sewn together.

They have created a free project, <a href="http://www.nqaquilts.org/NQDay/2009/2009NatlQuiltingDay.pdf">Welcome Home</a>, to honour National Quilting Day.<br /><br />I went to JoAnn Fabric this morning and found some wonderful fabric to make my new grandson a quilt. I know I already have fabric for that purpose but, I have found a neat pattern and hope to be working on that this afternoon. I will make the other quilt after this one but, since it's been a while, I thought I would do something easy to get into my comfort zone again. I get all the things I need to do a project and get all excited about doing it and then, it takes me so long to get started. I have no idea why. Once I get going I'm fine.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day!<br /><br />Until next time...<br />BunnyBunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16558359217534466186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247526152667108615.post-69166802811888509222009-03-14T15:22:00.003-04:002009-03-14T15:29:21.356-04:00New puppy<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTBmSqyu5QLI0mWiExZQhIYcsI1Dh_xQ2EU7ENAQCjKb_iG63melUpP7_W8bcp_oBTLu7b1e8A4grGYJP9Bxoeyfl7Uhe71ije0rLX0C6duioN2oT3bFQXGEMBwls4YFyUUP6sgtT4O6AK/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313126677505951698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTBmSqyu5QLI0mWiExZQhIYcsI1Dh_xQ2EU7ENAQCjKb_iG63melUpP7_W8bcp_oBTLu7b1e8A4grGYJP9Bxoeyfl7Uhe71ije0rLX0C6duioN2oT3bFQXGEMBwls4YFyUUP6sgtT4O6AK/s320/003.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I didn't think it had been that long since updating this blog. Time sure flies. We got a new puppy last week and she is only 11 weeks old. Her name is Roxie. Needless to say, see needs a lot of attention. The best way to describe it is, she is going through the terrible twos. lol She is a wonderful puppy and I am totally in love with her. I have her outside quite a bit playing with her with her tennis ball which she brings back very well. I went to Pet Smart today and bought more toys so that she does not get board with the same things. </div><div> </div><div>I am hoping to get on track with my projects really soon. I hope your weekend is going well.</div><div> </div><div>Until next time...</div><div>Bunny</div>Bunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16558359217534466186noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247526152667108615.post-27906885878888020172009-03-06T09:03:00.003-05:002009-03-06T09:17:07.521-05:00The Dory AwardAs I was looking for quilting blogs, I came across <a href="http://bejeweledquilts.blogspot.com/">http://bejeweledquilts.blogspot.com/</a> . I saw this award and just had to have it. It is not to be given away it is to be taken. So... if you think you deserve this award, please feel free to take it.<br /><br />This quote was taken from <a href="http://bejeweledquilts.blogspot.com/">http://bejeweledquilts.blogspot.com/</a> who in turn got it from another blog:<br /><br />"Because I can't remember squat, Tar created the Dory Award. (Do you remember Dory from Finding Nemo?) Unlike most awards passed around in Blogland, this one is not to be passed along TO others (after all, that wouldn't be very nice, would it?)...it is to be TAKEN. If you consider yourself eligible to receive the DORY AWARD, then by all means please take it and display it proudly on your blog! You know best if you deserve it! And if you do, WELCOME to the DORY CLUB! If you're not qualified to join, be thankful!"<br /><br /><br />If you have ever gone to the fridge and opened the door and forgot what you went in there for...<br />you deserve this award.<br /><br />If you ever got up and went to a different room to get something and once you got there forgot what it was that you went there for...<br />you deserve this award.<br /><br />If you ever went to the grocery store with a list and still forgot things on the list even though you crossed everything off as you went along...<br />you deserve this award.<br /><br />If you let your son take your car to work at midnight and knowing full well he has to work until 8:30am but call him at 7:45am and ask him if he is working over time...<br />you deserve this award. (I did this this morning. We work for the same company and I start work at 8am so I know he can't leave before I get there. I am off today and was confused. lol)<br /><br />I have done all of these things and some I can't remember. lol<br /><br />Until next time...<br />BunnyBunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16558359217534466186noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247526152667108615.post-78567658541061324022009-03-05T06:13:00.003-05:002009-03-05T07:00:57.559-05:00I was not getting emailI figured out why I was not getting the comments in my email. It was disabled. lol I also found out I can't use the same email as my other blog to get them. It said it was already taken so I had to use my verizon email. We'll see how that works out. Hopefully I fixed the problem.<br /><br /><br />This post showed up in my gmail account. Now I really don't get it! LOL As long as I get it I don't care.<br /><br />I am hoping to get started on my quilting projects tomorrow. It seems as though if I don't get an early start on something, it doesn't get started. It's difficult to try and start something at night after working all day. My brain doesn't want to get organized enough. When I come home, I eat my dinner, watch the news while doing my computer thing, by 7pm, you can usually find me asleep in the chair or on the couch or wherever I happen to be sitting at the time. So, seeing as I have a 3 day weekend starting tomorrow, hopefully I can get started. If I remember correctly, the Rail Fence quilt didn't take all that long to do. I had it done in a couple of weeks but, that was not working on it full time.<br /><br />Enjoy your day! The sun is shining here and is suppose to be a nice weekend. I hope so. I am so tired of being cold.<br /><br /><br />Until next time...<br />BunnyBunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16558359217534466186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247526152667108615.post-78171719158163991342009-03-03T19:30:00.006-05:002009-03-06T10:50:07.447-05:00Sewing machine cover<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKh6uhnTKZxiTw90zhPouM6_xCtNpwx2O2Z5s7aiY2UohuIyRQ_LS6-5CdtmVA3Bu-Nq7XI0WICzllxK0VbK3Nqwixec1uBKujjF51WHMvoU_lgdAdyQPZ2725002jSccOeM1M6S-cCj6E/s1600-h/004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309123756261686722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 210px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKh6uhnTKZxiTw90zhPouM6_xCtNpwx2O2Z5s7aiY2UohuIyRQ_LS6-5CdtmVA3Bu-Nq7XI0WICzllxK0VbK3Nqwixec1uBKujjF51WHMvoU_lgdAdyQPZ2725002jSccOeM1M6S-cCj6E/s320/004.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>When I received my 1st sewing machine, it did not have a cover.

It fits my newer machine as well and really keeps it clean when not in use. </div><div> </div><div>I found the original pic and this was done in 2005. </div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I think that's all for updating for now.

My local quilt store. This was my first applique project and once I got the hang of it, it went well. I took 2 pics so that you could see the details. Plus it is long. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lol</span> I enjoyed doing this also. I like learning new things like this in a small class. I had brought my sewing machine and everything with me to class and found I was the only one there to work on it with the teacher. I so enjoyed the one on one. She was so nice. She had her own projects she was working on but, was right there if I had a question about anything. </div><div>The classes at the store start in January but, so far I have not seen one I would be interested in taking.

There are 25 lessons in the book. I did not do all 25. Just a couple. <br /> I made this in 2003 from the Card Trick lesson in the book. This is the 1st ( and only lol) queen size quilt I have made. I like how it turned out for a first quilt anyway. I have shown this quilt on my other blog but, wanted to put it here on my quilting blog. This was an easy quilt to make but, not so was the quilting part. I did it on a regular sewing machine.<br /><br />Until next time...<br />BunnyBunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16558359217534466186noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247526152667108615.post-48030548562888072292009-03-03T18:23:00.003-05:002009-03-03T18:31:24.558-05:00Garden Sampler<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhpSN5CD5ZMt2_CJjlTuA2aDj3shLzVGCl431RJp6xWk7g8qMC4VG149h3gwuvJZu4L9G1jLob-uSppZFqsjanTpBn-XUOH_X41Pbhh3cjS74B6rhwqeBuh618kPQuaTQf6ZO21cKN3NPK/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309106998478790498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 252px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhpSN5CD5ZMt2_CJjlTuA2aDj3shLzVGCl431RJp6xWk7g8qMC4VG149h3gwuvJZu4L9G1jLob-uSppZFqsjanTpBn-XUOH_X41Pbhh3cjS74B6rhwqeBuh618kPQuaTQf6ZO21cKN3NPK/s320/001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>When I received my April 2007 Quilter's World magazine, and I saw this on the cover, I just had to make it.
