Mixing Fabric mediums

I am in the process right now of making a jacket. Is it ok to mix satin on the cuffs, yoke, and one front piece with cotton? Doing bargello on back, thought to put yoke in satin and embroidery on…Continue

"Well ladies, I am guilty as ever. The good thing is that all the yardage I have purchased, I have used. It has been for baby quilts and backing for customer quilts. I am still at zero, but that is better than in hole."
"On the Quilting Bee Thread are our past year Stashbusting challenges, but here is what we went by:
As a group, our goal is to get the size of our stash UNDER CONTROL.
I know that I will purchase fabric this year. Being a Stash buster…"
"It works! Good job."
"I am guilty, I have not done anything yet. I will get on this."
"Pretty pretty"
"I have a lot of scraps and realatively little of bigger pieces, so scraps tend to go into nearly every quilt l make at some point. I can't remember the last time l made a quilt out of " yardage " fabric alone,lol. Here is my latest…"
"Nice job Riana. I still keep looking at my scraps. I have lots of patterns picked out, but just not getting to them."
"Yep, Gayle is right, you cant use it if you don't cut into it. Time to jump in with both feet and cut that fabric up."
"Never to late to jump on the quilting wagon. 10 yards it is. Welcome to the fun adventure of figuring out how to use the stash and not increase it."
"Thank you Melanie, You made me smile. It feels good to be someone's hero. If you don't cut it, can't sew it. :)"
"Gayle - you're my new hero! Usually it's Beth or Rianna because they are like machines! I'm still working on my stash cataloging and cutting. I have an idea for a quilt using rainbow batiks, but am having trouble…"
"Thank you Riana for sharing that. It is a very effective method."
"Ginny, l have a low tollerence for the " anything goes" scappies...too messy looking for my taste. I pick 3 main colours, and allow only tiny accents of other colours. That way, my eye responds to the pattern, not the chaos,lol. Here, l…"
"Your scrap quilts look so coordinated, Riana! Very cute with all the different animal fabrics! "
"Well done, Riana! I like it."

2015 Quilting Goals
Posted on December 31, 2014 at 7:30pm 13 Comments 2 Likes
I am so enjoying the New Year Challenge for 2014. I have been able to finish at least one project a month. The thought of next year has crept in. Seeing my piles of scraps, as some of you may have, and being influenced to join in the Scrappy Quilts Group, Leaders and Enders, my goal for 2015 will be to make 12 scrap quilts. That is one a month. I believe this is doable.
Along with that goal of scrap quilts, finishing 22 kits I have purchased will be a goal as well.
Going…

Since last years quest to finish up UFOs, it left me with around 30 or so at the beginning of this year. I have since then finished up quite a few more. I do have around 10 to 12 left, we have them hidden in corners still. With that said, my next adventure has been to do a whole cloth quilt. Now those are a challenge. I am to design it and quilt it using only rulers and stencils, no patterns or copying any other wholecloth quilt. As one would notice, drawing is not an easy task. Even…

To update everyone. I am glad to say that I finished all 120 UFOs for 2012. I finished on December 31, 2:00p.m. with the very last one, including the binding. i was so very thrilled. So worth the effort. Now to get busy on this years quest, finishing all my photos in their albums. The sad part is that I have not even started. Still working on getting quiltiing done. Yep, quilting is a stronger passion than the photos. I have a little one graduating this coming year so I need to have…

Well, here is the middle of November and I am at 99 for the year. I have three customer quilts to finish, three Peppermint Twist orders to fill, and 21 more UFOs to get done all by end of year. God is good and He has not let me down so far. I know that there is an end to this task and I must stay on track to get there. I have so appreciated the encouragement and wonderful comments on the quilts I have completed thus far. Now to move forward some more.

- I just saw a comment on the PHD site that said that some of the gals send quilts out to you to be quilted. I was wondering what you charge for an all over design and it you are taking on any more work.

I am scared to do my own quilting, but I am eager to learn free motion quilting. My daughter has a longarm quilting machine but I would love to learn to do my own as she has so many of her own to do.

Hi Beth,
I am in Texas. That is far to ship, but I may be willing. I am just thinking an all over design, what designs do you have or do you enjoy doing? What is the cost with and with out the batting...I do have some here...this quilt grew, but I always keep extra batting of all sizes on hand. I like cotton.
Thanks, Victoria ( Zoe)

Thank you for the friend invitation. Yes, I accept! I got your address from the contest to finish projects by a certain date. My Hubby took it over to the drug store which has a post office. He was going to buy some milk at the some time. I'm cutting out squares from my flannels for another child's quilt.
