Life has been crazy. My fur baby, Lil, a beautiful 4 year old Singapura is in the hospital. She has pneumonia and Haemolytic Anemia. They think she may have the fatal FIP, but we are praying hard that this isn't the case. She is holding steady right now, but come this weekend, we may have to make some really hard decisions. She has been in the hospital all week and already her vet bill in $2000! Oh my. But, she is my baby and I love her so much. I don't want her to suffer, but if she can get better, I don't want to give up, either!!!<br />

On a quilting note.... I never want to do a Hanui quilt again! LoL! My son's quilt is giving me fits. It is almost quilted, though. I am down to the free motion quilting and the last border now. <br />

I made numerous modifications and style changes, but really like the way the top finished up. Best of all, so does the recipient! Reece seems quite pleased and can't wait to get the finished product. <br />
<br />
An area of "surprise" was the final dimensions. As you will guess, it just kept growing as I added more border designs. Because of the size change, my backing fabric no longer fit. But, never fear, that worked out perfectly as I did a decorative pieced back! I was soooo pleased with the results! It looks really beautiful.<br />
<br />
I picked out two gorgeous variegated quilting threads this weekend to do the quilting with. I will try to completely finish the quilt within the next two weeks. I plan to do a diamond quilted border, stitch in the ditch and hand quilting in the center panel. <br />
<br />
The pics below are of the quilt top spread out on a king size bed!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJLlmn-3KSsL5UrJRnb00fntq11rMbSd0KeUpxrWFyYhp7M3cWj0JnGqO2y6hMvSLkqesukIUf_hADyyfbgrTZXd7k6-jZAvdIs65Lgms6sC5eRbgDmEY6EH-uOrx7_Bq4QVrvCESSKy4/s640/blogger-image-386266153.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJLlmn-3KSsL5UrJRnb00fntq11rMbSd0KeUpxrWFyYhp7M3cWj0JnGqO2y6hMvSLkqesukIUf_hADyyfbgrTZXd7k6-jZAvdIs65Lgms6sC5eRbgDmEY6EH-uOrx7_Bq4QVrvCESSKy4/s640/blogger-image-386266153.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2JgB1EwdujmoBrGeY0ugpkHeYQux72FmdN_hun5TPRY6lCVlMkSxHK-RQiIYyQiqweVsCtjb3z3UhqNrVKIsMIh_vEHm0cwArmz-9H7m8ldDSqU-y5iAtWO5yVyX4z54my2azgnOiccc/s640/blogger-image-370853895.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2JgB1EwdujmoBrGeY0ugpkHeYQux72FmdN_hun5TPRY6lCVlMkSxHK-RQiIYyQiqweVsCtjb3z3UhqNrVKIsMIh_vEHm0cwArmz-9H7m8ldDSqU-y5iAtWO5yVyX4z54my2azgnOiccc/s640/blogger-image-370853895.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC2mCSq179FwXDvV6dWAFMVvSoGySHZBHFu7NvEwx0il5wZKYZ0oZdoHdlIVW8whO0I7p0wxgb-vgqo24o53H9sdNEhS_gtARW5siAYiYb3C93EZr_FNN_JIvALejpnhGS_BjXkfGgEIs/s640/blogger-image-1956610421.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC2mCSq179FwXDvV6dWAFMVvSoGySHZBHFu7NvEwx0il5wZKYZ0oZdoHdlIVW8whO0I7p0wxgb-vgqo24o53H9sdNEhS_gtARW5siAYiYb3C93EZr_FNN_JIvALejpnhGS_BjXkfGgEIs/s640/blogger-image-1956610421.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4lbArPBYearCeDrXAbmyLFMPQWx8YRdss71WAcR3RhpvIcYOvYrj-AVeze2OtYI7Yr4JLkApbqQDKdxlR1OIt_TPE3hy779xFHZf-AZBwWVX-c85wae-_0InllOzj-sKTxUhwHpAGYAg/s640/blogger-image--1552449902.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4lbArPBYearCeDrXAbmyLFMPQWx8YRdss71WAcR3RhpvIcYOvYrj-AVeze2OtYI7Yr4JLkApbqQDKdxlR1OIt_TPE3hy779xFHZf-AZBwWVX-c85wae-_0InllOzj-sKTxUhwHpAGYAg/s640/blogger-image--1552449902.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2L4EgqS0JUjDI3zCBG7P1klXxE4H2jP3QKYyW_PyTfsWcBJ7XAAUDYoQ4oagjtK3noEUrq2xLTv-JTnrAES1ZGY6zAR7WIklPeqg7BsxS5JaNdOBwssjL-9lFoaGRvHvqvXPMQvMdJcs/s640/blogger-image-1006607346.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2L4EgqS0JUjDI3zCBG7P1klXxE4H2jP3QKYyW_PyTfsWcBJ7XAAUDYoQ4oagjtK3noEUrq2xLTv-JTnrAES1ZGY6zAR7WIklPeqg7BsxS5JaNdOBwssjL-9lFoaGRvHvqvXPMQvMdJcs/s640/blogger-image-1006607346.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipMTlrdWwMULYFelArD3u8gv7KRrV98njSAnYF0Q9eaDTQW8W8A_vWt6gzwttuzg1bhQ_-ZKL5n4h5eN9eWt6MoclmdQ64th8FXnm6bX1u-I1UuGqXHCqR-x1u3o2V3WEFRRFT3RXNVic/s640/blogger-image--1770033864.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipMTlrdWwMULYFelArD3u8gv7KRrV98njSAnYF0Q9eaDTQW8W8A_vWt6gzwttuzg1bhQ_-ZKL5n4h5eN9eWt6MoclmdQ64th8FXnm6bX1u-I1UuGqXHCqR-x1u3o2V3WEFRRFT3RXNVic/s640/blogger-image--1770033864.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17575441312505797542noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945633286648904974.post-30819215709686508062012-08-07T20:46:00.001-04:002012-08-07T20:46:48.258-04:00Finishing the EmbroideryWell, sitting in a hotel room finishing the detail work. This weekend I should finish up the quilting and get this bound. My son is getting antsy, he wants it now!<br />
I plan to do a variety of quilting by machine around the center panel. In the arms, I am going to do a 1/4" stitch-in-the-ditch. I am going to do a diamond pattern in the bottom, with stitch in the ditch along the decorative pieces of the kimono. <br />
I also plan to do a diamond pattern along the borders. <br />
In the center panel, the quilting will highlight key features. <br />
Stay tuned this weekend for more updates!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT4t05tO35_VctkIQva9qjvD1g470ZsP3Lvrop5n21a2Exm1ctaJYK465FkZsF1OVrW7ZDG_9cq3jTxbJhWdWJOrcMdPICVl-BbAZjO311oAPYCdVpoyVKIm_pEdrI9uqbzTbwvbaHFbI/s640/blogger-image--1530724963.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT4t05tO35_VctkIQva9qjvD1g470ZsP3Lvrop5n21a2Exm1ctaJYK465FkZsF1OVrW7ZDG_9cq3jTxbJhWdWJOrcMdPICVl-BbAZjO311oAPYCdVpoyVKIm_pEdrI9uqbzTbwvbaHFbI/s640/blogger-image--1530724963.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17575441312505797542noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945633286648904974.post-79160555731414309702012-07-18T20:31:00.002-04:002012-07-18T20:31:54.832-04:00Givawasy Coming Up!!!I have decided to give away a custom designed shopping tote when I reach 25 followers on my Blog!

So, I figured this was a great opportunity to work on finishing up the embroidery of the Dragons on my sons Hanui quilt. Helped pass the time! It was funny, though. A guy a seat behind me freaked out over me having scissors and a needle. Really? Really? The scissors are 2" big and my needle is like an inch! Grow up! The flight attendant laughed and told him it was perfectly fine. He watched me the entire flight like I was a terrorist! Lol - this is why I usually fly First Class! (Unfortunately there want 1st on this flight!).

Reece's 17th Birthday QuiltOk.... so, no break for the weary! LOL. As soon as I finished my grandma's quilt, my son decided he wanted one for his birthday. And do kids ever ask for anything easy? NO! He decided that he wanted an Asian Quilt (we are Asian, after all!) and picked a Hanui (Kimono) Quilt from Susan Briscoe's book "Japanese Quilt Inspirations". OUCH! so, we went to JoAnn Fabric and Hobby Lobby and picked out some beautiful Japanese fabric. I also ordered a few special pieces as well to showcase the sleeves. I did piece the sleeves together and cut the decorative center panel. Reece decided on a beautiful dragon fabric, but I was disappointed because it was rather flat. So, brilliant (or not!) me decided to hand embroider the fabric to make it beautiful and a showpiece of the quilt. I am almost done with that.... it has been worked on in Tennessee, Texas, New Mexico and Ohio... and in a plane above and between... But, if it turns out beautiful and my son loves it, that is all that I can ask for!<br />

This is the Center Panel - As you can see, it is pretty, but rather flat after the gorgeous fabric of the sleeves...<br />

So, my embroidery began! My next post will be an update on the Embroidery!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17575441312505797542noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945633286648904974.post-84944707102250198472012-07-06T22:12:00.004-04:002012-07-06T22:12:59.207-04:00Quilt #2 - My Grandma's Quilt!Ok, so shortly after I finished my grandpa's quilt, I had to start my grandma's! My grandma put in an order for a quilt in reds and green's, but not Christmas colors. So, the hunt for the perfect fabrics was on! I ended up mixing up a couple of delicious looking Moda charm packs and Jelly Rolls! Then the big question became, what kind of design??? I needed something easier (remember, only been sewing for a month!) but beautiful for my grandma. I really wanted this to be a quilt she would be proud of! Since I still wasn't great at finding quilt patterns that looked easy enough for me, I decided to make my own pattern. (Later, I realized that this pattern was nothing new... if I knew how to search, I could have saved myself a LOT of time! lol). I will admit, that I ended up making a BIG mistake - I figured that 2 1/2" jelly roll and 5" charm packs, perfect right? Uh, no, I ended up having to trim all my 5" squares! TONS of extra work, but worth it in the end!<br />

Here started the long process of the "random but organized" sorting and layout! In order to give it a bit of continuity, I used the jelly roll to create a a series of patterns.<br />

I am quite happy to announce that my grandma loved the quilt and pillow!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17575441312505797542noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945633286648904974.post-59079995363879837652012-07-06T21:23:00.000-04:002012-07-06T21:23:03.251-04:00My First Quilt... My Grandpa's 80th Birthday!I decided to start a blog to document the progress that I make as a beginning Quilter! I started quilting (and learned to sew!) in March 2012 in order to make a quilt for my grandpa's 80th birthday. Before that, I have never used a sewing machine! It was scary and exciting all at once. But, the look on his face when I gave it to him made it completely worth it! AND- I became ADDICTED to quilting and fabric! Be kind to my first attempts, I was completely new, but they were made with love!<br />

I made this using 10" squares, but learned how the best laid plans go askew when you flip flop the sides to sew together! :) It ended up looking good so I went with it. I appliqued several squares to personalize it more for my grandpa. To some, this may seem like an odd quilt, but my grandpa loves flannel shirts, golf, baseball and the USA! He is a proud veteran and I wanted to portray him in the quilt.<br />

Here was a close up of the simple quilting that I did, which took FOREVER! Wow, I never realized how long it would take and how stressful it was sewing this on a little sewing machine!<br />

Here was the arduous task of making a patchwork bias cut binding! Wow, for a first timer, it was a difficult process! But worth it in the end as it looked really nice!<br />

Here was my grandpa and grandma at the big birthday celebration! I was so proud when I gave him his quilt, not because it was perfect (it wasn't!) but because every stitch (and tiny blood drop!) was made with love and care.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17575441312505797542noreply@blogger.com1
