Day 18

Today is the 18th day in a row for posting to my blog.  At day 21 I will be letting you know about a giveaway.

For today though, I am just going to show you some things I purchased on my trip to Menards yesterday.  And I also want to show you what I have been doing with the quilting machine and PC Quilter.

Here is one of the things I purchased at Menards yesterday. This kind of reminds me of the plumbing snake you use when you have to clean out your pipes but this one is for your sink.  No, I don't have stopped up sinks but at 99 cents I thought it would be handy to have around.  You never know but it could come in handy for other uses.

Of course, I picked up a couple of the suction cup shower grips.  Don't need them in the shower but rather on the acrylic rulers I like to use.  I did pick up a couple for some patients of mine also.  They aren't something they would purchase but I think they could really, really use for their showers.

Today I got busy and loaded some practice fabric on the quilting frame.  The PC Quilter came with a book that contains a lesson along with a lesson CD with the necessary patterns.  It really shows you more what this PC Quilter can do.  So here are some photos of my lesson that I worked on today.

This is the beginning learning how to flip, rotate, etc.

This is the same design but creating 8.

This is the same design element but used 20 times.  I don't have to stitch each one out separately.  I just add a number to the command and it does the rest.

I was afraid that there would be a thread nest at the middle of this but there sure wasn't.  Looking forward to tomorrow when I might be able to play a little more.  Or is this practice!  It is just fun!

See you tomorrow!

Rhonda

Today!

I made it to Menards today but have been really busy all day so I haven't gotten a lot of photos taken of my purchases.  While in the big city, I did go to Hobby Lobby also.  When I say big city, any place is bigger than Deputy.  My DH actually gave me $$ and told me to buy something I wanted.  After walking around Hobby Lobby for about an hour, I did purchase a quilting book with my 40% off coupon.  Didn't really need anything else so I saved my $$ for another day.

Free-Motion Quilting Made Easy by Eva Larkin.  I know you are probably asking why would I need this book since I have the PC Quilter.  Because it has a lot of amazing block designs in it that only use 8 basic shapes. 

Are any of you having trouble with blogger?  It really has been a pain tonight.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Rhonda

Are you ready?

For the weekend!

I sure am!!!

I am heading out in the morning for one of my favorite places.  Menards!!!  They always have some good deals going on.  This is what I will be on the lookout for!

I know it says it is a Safety Grip Handle but you all know what I will be using it for.  Going to pick up a couple for some gifts for my quilting family this year.

So I hope you have some great plans for the weekend!  See you tomorrow!

Rhonda

Do you love to paper piece?

I absolutely LOVE to paper piece!!!

And lately I have been working on some paper pieced blocks.  But it wasn't until the last couple of weeks I started using something I had purchased months ago.  Can you guess what it is? 

It is one of these--the Hobbico Sealing Iron!

I have it sitting on a snack tray table beside my machine.  No more getting up to use the iron that sits on my ironing board.  Of course I use with one of those reversible cutting/ironing mats that you get at Walmart.  But I have to tell you, this iron is handy.  Gets super hot!  Is so much lighter than my regular iron!  Takes up very little space!  And best of all saves me so many steps!  I heard it is also great for applique.

So if you are a paper piecer like me you might want to check into it.  I know Kelly over at I Have a Notion carries them as well as the Accuquilt GO that have become all the rage.  I haven't been purchasing fabric lately but I do enjoy going over to IHAN and checking out all the great gadgets.  Great prices and great service.  Let her and her co-workers know I sent ya!

And no I am not affiliated!  Just found her website great to order from!

Hope you are having a great day!

Dawn's quilt

Before my sister Dawn passed away back in July, we tried to finish up her quilting projects.  Dawn and I with some help from her friends, finished up a quilt for her friend Anne.  We had discussed another quilt project she had started at the time also.  That second project didn't get finished until a couple of weeks ago.  With the help of my great friends Penny, Olivia, Paula and Shauna, we were able to get the quilt finished.  I am posting a photo of the quilt, but please don't tell my sister's son Raymond.  It may be a while before he receives it even though it will be heading south in the next few days. 

Dawn chose to do strip pieced blocks for the entire quilt.  She wanted decorative stitching on each seam in the blocks.  Plus she wanted a summer quilt containing no batting.  This is what she got. 

A huge Thanks to all the ladies that were so helpful in helping me finish it!

Hope you are having a great day!

Rhonda

Giveaway Alert!

Debi over at Quilting with Debi is having a great giveaway!  Head over there and get your entries in!

Was I surprised!

To start off today's post I just want you to know that this is Day 12 or 21.  Won't be long before we have a giveaway!  Don't know what yet, but I am sure I will find something.

I got off work early today since I didn't have very many patients to see.  So I was home about noon when my doorbell started ringing.  We only have a doorbell on the front door and no one we know ever comes to the front door.  I went to the door and I couldn't believe it but there stood our Rural Mail Carrier with a box in his hands.  I knew I hadn't ordered anything so why was Jimmy delivering a box to this house.  Maybe one of the kids had ordered something.

So after I thank him nicely for bringing it to the door, I look at the address label and find it is for me.  The return address was from my dear friend Joanne over at Splitting Stitches.  (Make sure you run over to her blog and see what she has to giveaway to some special person!)  Joanne used to live just a couple of hours from me until her and her family moved to New Hampshire last year.  Usually I know when to expect something from Joanne.  It wasn't my birthday!  It isn't Christmas!  So what could this be! 

It is Mama and Daddy Mucinex that had come to visit their babies! 

  (The babies had arrived quite a while ago in another package!)  So Mama and Daddy will be joining the 5 mucinex babies living in my sewing room.  That is until I get a chance to mail something that needs some packing materials!

But that was just the start of what was in that box!

It is Christmas afterall and I am totally behind on my shopping!  

Not really and I am so glad!

So I ripped into that Christmas wrapping paper and what should appear--not any reindeer for sure!  So what can be better! 

A Moda Bakeshop Sampler!

Aren't all these little 2 1/2" squares just yummy!

 So Christmas came early to my house today! Thanks Santa Joanne!

I am even going to keep the box!  You always need a box for shipping out prizes in a giveaway!

Hope you are having a great day!

My First PC Quilter Quilt!

I finished quilting my first quilt on the PC Quilter a few days ago.  For the first one I don't think it turned out too badly.  The quilt design is a BOM from Block Central.  I like my quilts very densely quilted.  This one is definitely that.


Here are a couple photos of portions of blocks.  You can see the dragonflies in the black really well.

Here is a photo of the quilt, minus the binding.  Binding is the least favorite part of quilting to me. 

This photo is a portion of the back where you can see the design better.  The backing is actually black so I don't know why it looks gray.

So that is my first.  Now I need to practice some more!  Found that out really fast but too late!   lol

See ya tomorrow!

Rhonda

Big or Small & Log Cabin Blocks

I am one that doesn't make a lot of small quilts.  I have made maybe 3 or 4 wall quilts in the 30 years I have been quilting.  When I finish a quilt it is quite an accomplishment.  So you probably won't see a  lot of finishes here but rather a lot of in the process.  Right now I would have to say I have 3 major quilts in the process of piecing.  The one I worked on today is a quilt using log cabin blocks.  I LOVE Log Cabin quilts!  The log cabin block has to be one of my favorites.  There are so many different patterns that can be achieved using a simple log cabin block.  So what do you prefer to make?  Large or Small?

I did finish quilting the quilt I have had on the frame this last week.  I would show you a picture of it but what would I post tomorrow?  It still needs the binding on it.  The quilting turned out great!  You can't even see all the mistakes I made!!!  Now that is good quilting!  lol

Please remember those who died just 9 short years ago!  Bless those families who lost loved ones, I can only imagine their grief even now after 9 years.

Hope you are having a great weekend!  See you tomorrow on Day 11! 

Rhonda

Day 9! I better be thinking of something to giveaway!

I had hoped to post a photo of my quilt that I have been quilting.  I ripped out 2 rows yesterday evening and once I resew those I will be able to post a photo.

Other than that all I did today was work.  Not real exciting huh?  It has been a dreary rainy day today.  I stopped into the office this morning for the first time in two weeks.  That is more frequent than usual.  I stopped to see Ronda in Medical Records and visit with her for a few minutes.  Actually I had to grab a snack size candy bar out of her desk drawer.  You see I have been trying to lose weight.  I have actually dropped 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks so I thought I would reward myself with a little chocolate.  I got one bite off that candy bar as I was heading out the door.  Then I dropped my planner onto the wet pavement.  When I bent over to pick it up, I dropped my candy bar!  That sucked!!!  No using the 5 second rule this time!  I was so looking forward to that second bite!  I guess I didn't really need it after all!

Hope you are on your way to the start of a great weekend!

Rhonda

Day 8! Yeah!

http://qscexpos.com/cincinnati.htm

 

All I can say about that is, I hope I can go!!!

Rhonda

One week!

Can you believe it!  I have made it a whole week of posting everyday.  Nothing today about the quilting machine.  Sorry!  Still working on that first quilt, and working, and laundry and pool closing! 

I did pick up a quilting magazine the other day while grocery shopping.  I haven't purchased a quilting magazine in quite some time.  I already have so many and didn't really see a point in buying another.  But!!!  The quilt on the cover just screamed at me!  I just have to make it!  The colors are fantastic!!!  So which magazine am I talking about?  This one!

I just love the color in this quilt!  This one is definitely on my list to make next.  That is after I finish 3 or 4 of the ones I have started already!

See ya tomorrow!

Rhonda

Day 6!

I have gotten some of my quilt done on the frame but not even close to being done.   Maybe I should have practiced more before starting out.  Yesterday I had to start a row 3 times before I finally got it right.  So I have been doing some ripping!  I plan to do a few more rows this evening but not sure I will get time.  We are in the middle of closing the pool for the summer.  You know that is a job!  The water was 70 degrees this afternoon and way to cold for swimming.  I don't think it will warm up enough to swim so it is time to cover it up and leave it until next summer.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I hope it wasn't too hard for you to get up this morning and head out to work!

Rhonda

Day 5

Can you believe it?  I have now posted 5 days in a row!

Not much to say today because I have been diligently working on a quilt I loaded to the frame yesterday.  Got loads to do today before I go back to work tomorrow.  

Hope everyone in the states is having a 

Great Labor Day Holiday!!!!!

Rhonda

Day 4

I am on a roll!  Day 4 of my 21 day leading to a habit! 

Not much today though.  I spent yesterday afternoon playing around with the quilting machine again.  I did another practice piece.  This is the front side.  You can't really see the quilting, but there is a feather design in there somewhere.

This is the back side.  You can tell the design I used better on this side.  I think I did pretty good on my spacing, if I do say so myself!

I had a comment yesterday that I wanted to reply to here on the blog.  It was a comment asking about skipped stitches with my quilting system.  I have only had a time or two that I had an issue with skipped stitches and then a needle change took care of that quickly.  Hope that helps!

Until tomorrow!

Rhonda

Day 3

So this is Day 3 of my goal of 21 days!  In my last post I said I would do a giveaway when I posted for 21 days in a row.  Keep me on track!

I had a couple of comments asking what exactly was the carriage that I posted about yesterday.  So I thought I would explain in better today.

I few years ago I purchased the GMQ Pro Grace frame and Janome 1600 machine.  The Grace frame came with a carriage like this.

When I purchased the PC Quilter, the carriage had to be changed to this.

 I didn't have to change the machine or the frame, only the carriage.  After I got my machine on this carriage, I plugged the PC Quilter carriage into my Janome 1600 machine.  This is what that looks like.

 Then I have all these wires going from the machine to the computer.  I will tidy those up after the excitement wears off.  Looks like a jumbled up mess doesn't it!

Only one of those wires goes to the computer.  Others are power supplies and such.  That one wire goes to a USB port on the computer.  Don't look at the mess!

You load your quilt on the frame just as you normally would.  My frame was altered slightly.  I had an issue with the poles bowing inward when a quilt was loaded.  So my dear husband was so nice to slide a piece of electrical conduit over my poles and then screw the conduit to the poles.  No, we didn't think of this on our own.  The woman I purchased the PC Quilter had already done this to her poles.  So here is my frame all set up with the PC Quilter.  If you are wondering how the carriage is moved, there is a timing belt that runs from one end of the frame to the other.  It can best be seen in the second photo or the photo below.  The timing belt goes right through the carriage.

Yesterday evening I loaded up some fabric that I had found at one time really cheap and this is what I did with my machine and the PC Quilter.  This is just a practice piece but I hope you can see the design.  I still need practice too but you will be able to tell that! 

Pretty neat, huh!

Hope that explains it all better!  I am off to load another piece to practice on.  Already got the groceries this morning, did some laundry, and did the floors!  I think I deserve to go play now!

See you tomorrow!

Rhonda

2 Days in a Row

I once had to attend a training session on organization for the job I was in at the time.  We were taught if you were to do something for 21 days in a row it would become a habit.  So I am on day 2 and we will see if I can make it to 21 days.  If I do, I think a giveaway would be in order, don't you?  So if you see I am slipping give me a nudge in the right direction!  lol

So I ended yesterday's post leaving you hanging.  I don't want to leave you hanging any longer.

I purchased a new to me quilting toy about a week and a half ago.  I had two quilts to tack before I could even think about my new toy.  Wednesday night after that second quilt was tacked and finished I couldn't help myself but to start putting it together.  It wasn't until last night that I actually had it together and working correctly, I think.  No, it wasn't one of the Accuquilt GO Cutters that everyone but me is winning.  No, it wasn't a new quilting frame and machine.  Well, here it is!

You are probably saying, so what is that?  It looks like a new machine and frame to me.  My new toy is actually the carriage.  You see that carriage also links in to the computer sitting out of view.  Do you get it now?  I have computerized my Grace frame and Janome 1600 with the PC Quilter.  Last night I actually stitched out a little something.  I would show you what I stitched, but the photos are still on my camera.  I know, why don't I just download them on my computer.  Why?  Because I can't find the silly cord that will allow me to do it!  How great is that!  I have been taking photos with my cell phone so I might just have to keep doing that.  lol

Anyway, so that is the new toy and I am now off to turn that baby on and start playing!

Hope you have some great plans for the Labor Day weekend!  See you tomorrow!

Rhonda

OK Joanne! lol

Joanne from over at Splitting Stitches has been on me lately about updating my blog.  Yes, it was April the last time I made a post, but I have to tell you, I have been really busy.

Where do I start!  Let's see.  The first part of May, Jill and I took a quick trip to North Carolina.  Fayetteville to be exact.  Went to see my sister Dawn and her family for a few days.  There was a very important reason for me to go too.  We needed to finish a quilt Dawn had started for her BFF Anne.  She actually had a couple of quilts that needed finished but that trip we mainly worked on that one.  We got it all done except for the border.  I brought it home, put the border on it and quilted it.  It then made a trip back to NC with my Mom.  Anne received and loved it.  Dawn was the designer on this one so put on your sunglasses before viewing more than 2 seconds!  lol

Of course by the time all of this was done it was June.  Time to open the pool.  Pools are a great way to enjoy the summer and stress you in ways that you have never been stressed before.  Dealing with chlorine levels, ph levels, acidity levels, etc.  And then sometimes the just plain extremely hot weather does a whole new number on the water.  In June the pool looked great as you can tell by the next photo.  Don't you just love the turtle!  It is a good thing I got this picture because pond scum led us into the month of July.  But all is well now and water is clear and cool!

 

 Then came the month of July!  What a hectic month that was!  Since I had a long weekend that month, I decided we needed to start on a home decorating project.  Cody and I painted all that weekend. The hallway, the family room, the dining room and kitchen.   You know once you start you can't stop so new flooring was added to all those rooms plus the laundry room.  Love the new laminate flooring and I am so glad the carpet is now gone!  We waited on the living room so we would have something to do this winter.  lol  Actually it isn't a living room anymore but where I keep my Grace frame and quilting machine.  So once the flooring was down there were new curtains to hang and furniture shopping to do.  We went from plain white walls, tan carpet, hunter green and burgundy curtains and green furniture to walls painted Faded Denim, Roasted Garlic and Pumpkin Bread, laminate flooring, blue stripes and orange and red curtains and leather furniture.  Big difference!  Here are a few photos to see how it ended up.  Don't look at the couch potato or recliner radish!  We still have some things to do yet but hope to get those little things done in the next couple of weeks.

 While we were in the middle of all these renovations, my sister Dawn took a turn for the worse.  Dawn was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer in October of 2007.  She passed away on July 29th, 2010 very quietly with me and Mom by her side.  She was an amazing woman and is missed greatly.  So another trip to North Carolina for the visitation and memorial service then back home for another visitation, funeral and burial.  There are still times when something funny happens and I reach for the phone to call her and tell her.  We always enjoyed a good laugh!  Sometimes too many!  But I know she is in a better place free of the awful pain she had to endure on this earth.  Miss you little sister!!

So now we come to August!  August was a month for finishing!  Finishing the some of the work on the house we had started.  Finishing quilts!  I have managed to finish 2 quilts in August.  The first finish I can't show you right now.  It was one of Dawn's and will be going to her son.  After he receives it I will post a photo but not now.  The second one was actually a repair.  My dear SIL, Lisa, asked me to repair a quilt for her quite some time ago.  She said it was her sick quilt and it sure is ugly and I have to agree with her there.  She used it when she was sick to curl up on the couch with.  Anyway, the backing was almost gone as well as most of the batting.  The top was in good condition but you know the double knit fabric lasts a zillion years.  Yes, it was pieced out of double knit fabrics.  So I left what was left of the batting and backing and added a new layer of batting and a new backing.  Tacked it at the seams and put a binding on it. 
If you have a weak stomach don't scroll down any farther!  Here is that masterpiece!

 So do you know what else happened in August?  Stay tuned tomorrow when I update you on the rest of the month of August!

Bye for now!

Quilting Queen and other things!

 I have been busy lately!  Unfortunately not getting much in the way of sewing accomplished.  Nancy, the winner of the April giveaway, I finally got to the post office today.  Your package should arrive in the next few days.

I did get block #4 done for the Moose On The Porch Jelly Roll Sampler quilt.  I think it turned out really well.  Now the block #5 has been posted so I need to get it done.  I am trying really hard to stay on top of this project.

 A few saturdays ago, some friends joined me in a day of quilty fun!  Ellen H. (sometimes referred to as Classic or Apple) and Ellen S.  (sometimes referred to as Zero or Lime), joined my Mom and I here in Deputy.  We managed to make a trip over to a little quilt shop a few miles from here.  New Frankfort Merchantile has some nice fabrics at a great price.  I didn't spend too much $$$ but i did get quite a bit to add to my stash. 

 Ellen Classic was wonderful as usual and brought a nice little giftie for us.  Isn't the bag just soooo pretty!  Love her choice of colors!  Thanks Ellen Classic for everything!  Your a special friend!  Hope to see you soon!

 Ellen (Classic) also brought a gift to me from her sister Shannon.  Shannon lives down south in the land of cotton where old times there are not forgotten!  lol  Shannon lives in the wonderful state of Georgia.  Shannon sure is a sweetie and was so sweet to send me these by way of a classic ride!  lol

Don't you just love this little sign she sent!  Ellen (Zero) added the little decoration to it.  Looks nice with the Boyd's bears and dust bunnies!  lol

Don't you just love these kleenex holders!

Now, what is this!!!  It is a miniature bale of cotton!  There is really cotton in that little bail!  How cool is that?

While the Ellen's were visiting we decorated up some pins!  Special pins to use for a special project!   I know we do wierd things!  lol
 

I also managed to grab a photo of my daughter coming in one night!  I hadn't seen her for several days so it was a shock that she got home before I went to bed.  I grabbed the camera and took a quick photo so I would remember what she looked like the next time she didn't come home for days!  Notice the cell phone attached to her hand.  I don't think she is capable of elbow movement any longer.  It seems like no matter when you catch her she  is in the same position!

Last but not least, I need to thank Bonnie over at Nanbon's Corner for the prize I recently won over on her blog giveaway.  Thanks Bonnie!

 Well that is it for today!  Hope you are having a great day!

Rhonda

We have a winner!

There were a total of 55 entries for the fabric giveaway!  WOW!  Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! 

Now for the winning comment!

Nancy has left a new comment on your post "Birthday Giveaway!":

Best wishes to your mom on her birthday, whenever she might have been born. The fabrics are beautiful and the giveaway a nice tribute to your mother.

So Nancy check your email!  I have sent you a request for your address!

Thank you to everyone who entered!

Rhonda

I'm here!

I am still here and the drawing for the giveaway will be tomorrow evening.  Things have been sort of chaotic around here lately.  To top it all off, I was invaded  by Spam today on my blog.  I received about 20 comments on different posts about Gucci shoes and bags.  Spent about an hour deleting them.  I just recently started letting the comments be posted without approval.  I guess it is back to approval. 

I got so many things to show you and I had hoped to have posted them by now.  That job just keeps getting in the way!  Tomorrow I have an all day class so it won't be tomorrow either!  Hopefully by saturday I will get a chance to post some photos.

Hope you are having a great week so far!

Birthday Giveaway!

It is a beautiful spring day out and a perfect day for a birthday!  Not mine!!!  My Mom is having a birthday today but I won't tell her age.  Lets just say she isn't quite a spring chicken anymore.  Love ya Mom!

So in honor of my Mom's birthday, I thought a giveaway was in order.  I think these 30's fabrics would be perfect for a giveaway honoring a woman that might, I said might, have been born during that time.  So here is what you will win if you name is randomly drawn from all those that entered and followed the rules.

Aren't these cute!  The randomly drawn winner will win these 2-1/2 yard cuts of 30's reproduction
fabrics.  But you have to follow the rules.










So here are the rules:

1.  Leave a comment wishing Mom a Happy Birthday.  Hopefully you will leave more of a comment than that.  Make sure you also leave an email address or some way for me to contact you if you win.

2.  You must leave your comment by April 20th @ 4 pm my time.  I can't tell you whether that is Eastern or Central time.  We started changing our time twice a year a few years ago.  Before that we didn't have to bother with it. 

3.  Anyone can enter!  Would love to  hear from someone in China!  So if you are in China leave me a comment telling me you are.  I don't think I have ever gotten a comment from China.

If you would like to become a follower, I would love to have you.  But there are no extra entries for following!

I guess that is about it!  Hope to hear from you soon!

Rhonda

Happy Easter! 

Rhonda

Got a couple of things done!

First of all, Sara, I got your Jelly Roll in the mail to you yesterday!  Enjoy!

I hope everyone had a great time doing the Hoppin' Good Eggs giveaway.  Congratulations to all the winners!

I was able to get my third block done for the Jelly Roll Sampler quilt along finished yesterday.  I managed to follow the directions right up until the end.  What is bad is that I actually read the directions and made a mental note to myself about the end construction.  And I still didn't read my mental note!  Caught it 2 seams before completion.  By then I decided to just leave it the way it was.  I should have turned 2 of the 4 patches a different way.  The end result is close to being the same.  You and I will be the only ones that know I did it wrong!  If you haven't started the quilt along, it isn't too late!  Just head right over to Moose on the Porch Quilts!  Here is my third block!

I also completed my Red, White & Black Log Cabin quilt.  I finished it a couple of weeks ago but just now got the photos taken.  It ended up being 108" x 108" and I think very pretty!  Here are a couple of photos of the finished quilt.

I offset the Log Cabin design to add some interest to it.  I really like the way this one turned out and it will probably be going to a new home tomorrow.  I think it will be very loved in its new home!

That is it for today!  Hope everything is going good in your world!

Rhonda
