My name is Rahna Summerlin. I have been an artist my entire life and a quilter for almost half of it. I am passionate about all forms of creating and am constantly inspired by other artists, quilters, craftspeople and all things creative in general. I love anything related to home decor and my style blends cottage, vintage and shabby mixed with antiques that are well-loved and worn.Rahna Summerlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07158456321318208149noreply@blogger.comBlogger58125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185284933954501433.post-25420803190426180552017-07-10T13:15:00.003-04:002020-05-23T12:12:28.891-04:00SWEET LIZZIE PATTERN CORRECTION<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My latest quilt pattern, Sweet Lizzie, is currently available as a kit through <a href="http://www.keepsakequilting.com/sweet-lizzie-quilt-kit" target="_blank">Keepsake Quilting</a>. The pattern is also available from me through my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/521485373/sweet-lizzie-quilt-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_6" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop. The quilt uses RJR Fabrics Afternoon in the Attic, which is full of flowery, romantic pastel fabrics. The pattern also includes the master foundation patterns as a second option to foundation-piece the three- and four-inch variable star blocks and the three-inch snowball blocks.</div>

Unfortunately, it has just come to my attention that there is a typo error on page 8. Obviously, this is one of the biggest fears of a pattern designer! I do proofread everything at least a dozen times, and triple-check all of my measurements, but this one little fraction slipped passed me. I apologize to everyone who has purchased the pattern and am hoping that anyone who has started making the pattern will see this blog post or my post on Facebook. For the Etsy patterns I sell directly, I have made the change already.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And for those of you who think that I have given up my blog altogether, I haven't! This has been a crazy and unpredictable year so far and I have just not had the motivation to write about much of anything. A few months ago, we had to cope with the unexpected loss of my mother-in-law the night we got home from our 30th anniversary vacation. Thankfully, we were able to say our sad good-byes just in time, as though she were waiting for us to come home. It was a shock the way it all played out, but life won't be the same without her. She was truly one of the best "mother-in-laws" I could have asked for and I am grateful that she and I had such a wonderful relationship over the last 34 years. Even though she never took up sewing, she absolutely loved and adored quilts and everything handmade. She loved everything I ever made or gave her and I know she truly appreciated all of it. She would have been 90 this week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've also been trying to play "catch-up" on my own quilts and things that have been left unfinished for way too long. I've made a little progress, which I will show in another post. But the reality is, I don't think I will ever "catch up!" So it's been a matter of setting priorities and juggling my time between work and quilting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Our custom apparel business my husband and I own has also been extremely time-consuming this year as well. We are currently in the process of expanding and growing and while it is all very exciting, it has taken up much more of my quilting time. So when I do have a moment to spare, you better believe it is in front of my sewing machine and not in front of the computer! I do have a couple of things I plan to share in further detail on my blog that I have already posted pics of on both <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bloominginchintz/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bloominginchintz/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, it's just a matter of taking the time to write. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To those of you who are still following along with me, thank you for your loyalty and tremendous patience! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. And again, my apologies for the pattern error! Happy Quilting!</div>

<div align="center" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday I posted this picture on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bloominginchintz/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> showing how I fit a cable on a border and make it wrap around corners evenly. This has been a question I've been asked repeatedly ever since I posted about <a href="http://bloominginchintz.blogspot.com/2014/04/quilting-cables.html" target="_blank">machine quilting cables</a> on a home sewing machine. I thought I would share it with you while it's fresh in my mind, but keep in mind, there is math involved! It also requires software that allows you to resize an image. I use Adobe Photoshop. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, I measure my borders to get precise dimensions. You need to measure at the seam line where the border is sewn to the quilt, not along the outermost edge of the border. I never use a plastic tape measure, they are not accurate. I use the metal type you find in any hardware store. I place the one-inch measurement on the very corner of the seam line, measure across, then subtract one-inch from the final dimension. The quilt I am working on measured 42 7/8" by 59 7/16" and I converted these dimensions to decimals--42.875" by 59.4375".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqt1LaIpB0_vkqcfOsV7REZOv_5VAhPoEtDIkUseoPgm7DE7v7F2MAe03tr2GhRGlQC-3hCGIHfkPtgOG0w4-b3BoCZHgWWzrBSFr1UQImxKtOTZ_h4HMNSeCyk46pUvqYwoVgTt48Aw/s1600/diagram.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqt1LaIpB0_vkqcfOsV7REZOv_5VAhPoEtDIkUseoPgm7DE7v7F2MAe03tr2GhRGlQC-3hCGIHfkPtgOG0w4-b3BoCZHgWWzrBSFr1UQImxKtOTZ_h4HMNSeCyk46pUvqYwoVgTt48Aw/s400/diagram.jpg" title="Fitting a cable to a border www.bloominginchintz.blogspot.com" width="296" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a large variety of cable quilt stencils, but rarely do they ever fit the border of a quilt perfectly unless I design a quilt specifically to fit a stencil repeat. In addition, none were wide enough for this border, which is 7 inches. I also knew that I wanted the repeats to work out evenly on all four sides so that the cable would wrap each corner. This meant I had to find a common fraction for the repeat size that would work with both border measurements and would divide evenly. So rather than get into overly complicated math (from high school classes that I have no memory of!), I take each border dimension and divide it by 4, 5, 6 and 7 (or whatever numbers are appropriate for the size quilt I am working on) until I get a size that is as close possible for both border dimensions:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtQC6ofDgeMw2Lta5dcl1JwaN1EqcmVRESuo_rrOAn9s0jx-0kWI9JfgGbHsaOUWG0E6JlB8kQVBG57T1nJiPwTuJSpfRcd9fIUng9MHpDu5YCkjHeh-WnsQRtehEmuEMc5URcEn8FLw/s1600/CableMath.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="126" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtQC6ofDgeMw2Lta5dcl1JwaN1EqcmVRESuo_rrOAn9s0jx-0kWI9JfgGbHsaOUWG0E6JlB8kQVBG57T1nJiPwTuJSpfRcd9fIUng9MHpDu5YCkjHeh-WnsQRtehEmuEMc5URcEn8FLw/s320/CableMath.jpg" title="Fitting a cable to a border www.bloominginchintz.blogspot.com" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can see that approximately 8.5" is the closest measurement each side shares. To get a bit more precise, I subtract the difference between the two and then divide by 2: 8.575 - 8.491 = .084, then .084 ➗ 2 = .042. I subtract the .042 and add .042 as follows: 8.575 - .042 = 8.533 and 8.491 + .042 = 8.533. This gives me the final measurement of the cable repeat I will need--8.533", knowing that the shorter borders will have five total repeats and the long borders will have seven total repeats. I also know that I will have to fudge the cables a little to make the repeats meet the corners precisely, due to the slight differences in measurement for the cable repeat for each size border, but I do that as I am drawing them onto the quilt and once they are quilted, it looks seamless.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm917zRd31BquLWF1VETsRhk7SwRSJLAEhm6ZGtmVmblrrSiKfXasyJ90ENEdX2G_nX-c8IFdv5SrSdsmvIkc1egJyzajTsHuSEfOqFK0bhPtzuoQP0LeoY3jqHLLBCg3yrxuiSEYLUQ/s1600/2017-03-30+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm917zRd31BquLWF1VETsRhk7SwRSJLAEhm6ZGtmVmblrrSiKfXasyJ90ENEdX2G_nX-c8IFdv5SrSdsmvIkc1egJyzajTsHuSEfOqFK0bhPtzuoQP0LeoY3jqHLLBCg3yrxuiSEYLUQ/s640/2017-03-30+001.JPG" title="Fitting a cable to a border www.bloominginchintz.blogspot.com" width="308" /></a></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next I scan the cable stencil in my scanner with a black piece of cardboard on top of it so that the lines will scan black when I open the image file in Photoshop. It is critical to lay the stencil as straight as possible on the scanning bed. I am only concerned with scanning the repeat, not the corner part, at this point. I use the cropping tool in my scanning software to select the repeat as precisely as I can, scan, and then save the file as a .jpg image. I then open the file in Photoshop and make sure that the repeat is precisely selected with the Marquee tool, deleting any excess area outside of the cable lines, and crop if necessary. Then I change the dimensions of the image under the menu Image→Image Size, making sure the Constrain Proportions box is unchecked, and type in the size I want. In this case I wanted the Document Size to be 7" wide (cable width) and 8.533" (length of repeat) inches high. I set the Resolution Size to 300 pixels per inch. I also adjust the brightness and contrast of the image in Image→Adjustments→Brightness/Contrast by setting the brightness and contrast settings to the far right until the background of the image is bright white and the lines are dark black. After I save the new image, I can print as many repeats as I need, cutting and taping them together to fit the border. This is where I double-check my math and fudge repeats to fit as necessary if needed.</div>

Next I repeat the same process for the corner cable, selecting just the corner part of the stencil and following the same steps as I did for the repeat, above. The only difference is, since this is a corner, I want it perfectly square, not rectangular like the repeat above. Holding down the Shift key while selecting the image will keep the bounding box perfectly square. For this corner cable, I set the Document Size at 7" by 7" (which is the width of cable itself). </div>

I print and tape this to one end of the length of the cable. I now have a complete master of my cable which I trace onto the quilt using a light table and my blue soluble markers.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope this gives you a better idea on how to fit cables to your borders. It sounds complicated, but once you do it, you will be so happy that you can actually make a cable wrap around four corners of a quilt and have it look seamless! Happy Quilting!</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Yes, it's been awhile. . . I think I will just skip past the subject of how much time has gone by or where I've been! Yes, I've been busy and yes, I am way behind on blogging!

I've added a few more patterns to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BloomingInChintz?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">Etsy</a> store since I last wrote in November. Above is the most recent quilt, Paris Romance, made with Robyn Pandolph fabrics from her Mon Cheri line. RJR Fabrics will be offering this to stores as a kit and you can also buy just the pattern from me. Below is another color option from the same line of fabrics for inspiration only; however, this is not being offered as a kit. I love seeing how color and fabrics completely transform the same quilt!</div>

Recently the AQS Quilt Show was in Daytona Beach, so I am including some pics from the show. Many of these need to be seen in person to really get the full appreciation of the quilt. The amount of machine (and hand) quilting is beyond words, it is mind boggling to see the incredible workmanship in some of these quilts. To save time, I tried to photograph the maker's name for each instead of typing out the info. They are in no particular order.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Well, Thanksgiving is already here, can anyone believe it? I'm not sure where the last few months have gone. I know I feel like someone pushed me off a speeding train and I am still living back in July. I never seem to be ready for this time of year, but like it or not, I've had to get a grip and come to terms with the fact that the holidays are really here.</div>

I thought I was actually ahead of the game for once when I was inspired in early September to work on a fall-inspired quilt. Originally the plan was that it would be hanging in my house during the months of October and November. Oh well, maybe next year!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had wanted to capture a softer autumn feeling in this quilt and as I was also going through my fabric stash, I realized I rarely use orange fabrics, but I have way too many of them! I had started cutting and using scraps for the sashing, which I foundation-pieced. I auditioned several different options for the blocks and loved the look of scrappy Dresdens. It took a couple of months to get it all together and completed, but I am happy with the finished look, although it still needs to be quilted. I've titled it Tupelo Honey, partly after the Van Morrison song and partly because I started reading about Tupelo trees that grow in northwest Florida. The honey that is produced from the tree's flowers is the gold standard that all other honey is compared to. The trees also turn a beautiful orange color and since we don't really have traditional fall like the northern states, this is my version of fall!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So let's catch up. . . I had mentioned in my previous post that I had been notified that I had won an award at the International Quilt Festival in Houston in October. We flew out there for several days and attended the Awards Ceremony. I was completely taken by surprise when my quilt, Grandmother's Cabin, won first place in the Traditional Pieced category. What an honor! And for those of you that may not know this, they do not split up the categories in the Houston show with long arm quilted quilts and domestic machine quilted quilts, they are lumped together. So the competition is very high, to say the least. Some of the very best long arm quilters, whom I greatly admire, were in the same category. Having my quilt achieve such an award is quite an honor for me, since I quilt on my home machine and never felt I could really compete with the long arm quilters. Here are just a few of the quilts that were in the Traditional Pieced category:</div>

Houston is always so inspiring, the number of quilts on display as well as the immense variety is overwhelming. One of my favorite exhibits there was the Quilts de Légende Brouage 2015 exhibit by French quilters. These quilts are pieced, appliqued and quilted entirely by hand and they are breathtaking! All are copies of antique quilts and done in reproduction fabrics. They are exquisite. Of course, photos don't do them justice, but hope you enjoy some eye candy, just the same.</div>

I am fast forwarding over the last few months to the final end product of what has been a lot of work and tons of hours. As I mentioned in my last post back in July, I have been doing some designing for RJR Fabrics and also have learned a lot about pattern writing and publishing in the mean time.</div>

Up until now, I have never written quilt patterns before. Part of my resistance in doing so has always been due to the fact that I knew if I was going to do it at all, I would need to learn the software that would enable me to illustrate diagrams as well as write good patterns. Needless to say, this summer was like going back to school! It was not easy. There was definitely a huge learning curve as well as more work than I could have imagined. </div>

Of course, I never make things easy on myself. I honestly did not know how "over my head" I was when I started writing the pattern for this quilt. But I persevered and after a couple of weeks of working on it, I actually wound up with something I am really proud of. I owe a huge thank you and am eternally grateful to <a href="http://www.judymartin.com/" target="_blank">Judy Martin</a>, one of the quilt industry's biggest icons, whose design career spans more than 35 years. She was kind and generous enough to spend over 90 minutes with me on a long distance phone call. She guided me on a crash course in Adobe Illustrator to get me started drawing quilt diagrams as well as sharing invaluable inside info on pattern publishing. If it wasn't for her giving me that push, I probably would not have gotten through this.</div>

This medallion quilt was designed with Robyn Pandolph's new fabric line, Garden Gate, by RJR Fabrics. It is currently due out in stores everywhere as well as online. The quilt is being offered as a kit by RJR Fabrics to quilt shops around the country. I am also selling just the pattern in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BloomingInChintz?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">Etsy</a> store. If you purchase the pattern on Etsy, you will receive a 20 page 8 1/2" x 11" paper pattern in the mail. I have also added the option to purchase as a downloadable PDF file that you will print entirely on your own printer if you do not wish to pay shipping. However, either version is the same full-color pattern with detailed instructions and color illustrations and diagrams, 20 total pages plus a cover.</div>

The longarm quilting was done by Ramona Sorenson of <a href="http://www.cornwagonquilts.com/" target="_blank">Corn Wagon Quilts</a> in Springville, Utah. I was very happy to turn that task over to someone else on this quilt and could actually get used to the idea of having someone quilt my quilts for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I will also have two more patterns available very soon, both are table runners. One is a companion to this Garden Star Medallion quilt done in the same fabrics. The other one is done in RJR Fabrics' 30s line, Everything But the Kitchen Sink. Both will be sold as kits exclusively by Missouri Quilt Company. As soon as they have them showing on their web site, I will share photos of those as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For those of you who are patiently waiting for me to write patterns of my other quilts, I still have not done so yet. I apologize for taking so long, but my time is so limited, I have had more than I can keep up with just doing projects for RJR and getting through this first round.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And now for the most exciting news of all. . . I was notified a few weeks ago that my quilt, <a href="http://bloominginchintz.blogspot.com/2015/10/grandmothers-cabin.html" target="_blank">Grandmother's Cabin</a>, has won an award in the Traditional Pieced category at the International Quilt Festival in Houston this month! They don't tell you what exactly what prize you've won. But I am pretty blown away to have won anything in that show, just being recognized is a huge honor. So we are flying out to attend the awards ceremony at the end of the month and since we will be there, we will be attending Quilt Market and staying over to see Quilt Festival. I am super excited, this was not planned ahead at all. Everything just sort of magically came together in the last couple of weeks. I will take lots of pictures to share, that show is always so full of inspiration, I can't wait.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Until next time, Happy Quilting!</div>

I have been very busy since I last wrote, but will try to do a bit of catching up while I have a holiday to goof off. I showed you this little 9-patch table topper in my last post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the ways I like to display small quilts is to hang them from a hook or peg. However, I find using clips to hang them tends to distort the quilt and stretches the corners out of square over time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_4HiCA-2xnFx_BXZUhm3kuStx2tI7DE-Rkv7ETFCa7XwyAKq99p3j4yhNNp3IdehSbPBeOtz5qqK_F6_meYfQ3vUMiUM7ci3-SHT0CQQu2DFjXZ0sBD79yxSiWBAgbUj6Hevf0nEhyg/s1600/2016-07-02+099.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_4HiCA-2xnFx_BXZUhm3kuStx2tI7DE-Rkv7ETFCa7XwyAKq99p3j4yhNNp3IdehSbPBeOtz5qqK_F6_meYfQ3vUMiUM7ci3-SHT0CQQu2DFjXZ0sBD79yxSiWBAgbUj6Hevf0nEhyg/s640/2016-07-02+099.jpg" title="www.bloominginchintz.blogspot.com" width="612" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Instead, I added a little strip of fabric diagonally across one corner on the backside of the quilt. I top-stitched a 1 1/2"strip of fabric folded in half with raw edges to the inside. I basted it to the edges of the quilt before sewing on the binding. While hand sewing the binding down to the backside of the quilt, I also stitched through all layers of the strip to keep it in place and prevent it from pulling on the binding's edge. It is similar to the hanging loops you see on beach towels and bathrobes. You could also use a strip of ribbon. It works great!</div>

Finally, part of my excuse for neglecting my blog is that I have been busy designing quilts for RJR Fabrics for a couple of their upcoming fabric lines. It is very exciting to be involved and such an honor as well. This is a peek at a quilt I am doing from one of their new lines, Garden Gate, by Robyn Pandolph, due out this September. I will be writing the pattern for this quilt (and others) and the kits will be available in stores this fall. I will also have patterns for sale once the kits are released.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Which leads me to answer a question so many of you have asked me, when will I have patterns available for my own quilts? I am working on it! I will be writing and publishing the designs I create for RJR Fabrics, which I will also be able to sell myself to anyone interested in purchasing. As I have the time, I am going to start writing patterns for quilts I have previously made, many of those which I have shared on my blog. This is something I am doing in between my regular job at our business, designing and sewing for RJR, and creating my own show quilts. I am a bit slow, but it is finally happening! I will let it be known when patterns are available once they are published and will most likely sell them on Etsy until I get comfortable with the whole process. </div>

On that note, I would like to thank all of you who have commented and written me with your congratulations and words of support and encouragement. It means more to me than I can say and gives me that extra little push to keep moving ahead. I am a pretty solitary, homebody kind of person, so receiving your lovely emails is sort of like being part of a guild, except I don't have to leave the house! Thanks so much to all of you and I hope to be able to share more of what I have been designing in my next post. </div>

How is it that we are already over halfway through May? It doesn't seem possible that summer is around the corner. I feel like I've been doing nothing but playing catch up over the last several weeks since we were in Paducah, but then that always seems to be the case after being away!</div>

I have been trying to get several quilt tops quilted and so far, I am only on number two. And these are little quilts! Here is a glimpse of this little nine-patch quilt that I've marked with an allover orange peel quilt design. I've showed this quilting design before on another small quilt I did awhile back. Several of you asked how I get the lines to curve and line up, so I am showing you here.</div>

I used nothing more than a plastic circle template that I had laying around, part of a set of several different sizes. You can use pretty much anything that is round as long as the circle is large enough to intersect the corners of the block. This is a 4" circle over a 3" block. You can see how I line it up, above. You want the circle to intersect the block about 1/2" to 3/4" on each of the four sides. Then I just draw around the edge of the template with a blue water soluble pen four times on each block. It goes very quickly and it is an easy and effective way to quilt with a walking foot. Click <a href="http://bloominginchintz.blogspot.com/2014/07/orange-peel-quilting.html" target="_blank">HERE </a>if you would like to read more on how I do this type of quilting. <br />

I am attending the AQS Paducah Quilt Show this week and was completely caught by surprise when I received an email the other night telling me that my quilt, Grandmother's Cabin, had won an award. They didn't let on as to what my quilt had won, specifically, so I've been on pins and needles until tonight. Sitting in the audience at this evening's awards ceremony was almost like attending the Oscars! When the Home Machine Quilted Bed Quilts were finally announced, my heart began to race as they started with third place, then second place, then. . . .FIRST place. . .and my name was called. It still seems surreal, as if it's all a dream. I am so honored and grateful and overwhelmed, I still cannot believe my quilt won.</div>

It seems like every year around this time I go through this whole scrap purging and reorganizing process at the bottom of my closet, digging through scrap bins as if I was searching for gold. It's not an intentional act that I plan for, it just seems to happen on its own, call it my version of spring cleaning. I can't even explain it. Before I know it, I have every bin, basket and bag organized, reorganized, analyzed and re-analyzed as to what to do with it all. The easiest thing would be to donate or throw it away, right? You would think I was organizing and hoarding cash!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I had seen a photo of a gorgeous pineapple quilt that inspired the thought, "I am going to make that!" So I set on the journey of pulling lots of narrow strips, cutting dozens more, and sewing scrappy five-inch pineapple blocks, with the intention of reaching at least 80 inches each way on my scrappy pineapple quilt. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It was fun. . . for awhile! My short attention span soon kicked in. Twenty blocks later, I had had my fill of pineapples! Then I realized I still had to tear all that foundation paper off the back of the blocks. I soon decided that a crib sized quilt was more realistic and called it a day when I finally managed to get it sewn together, along with borders.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I still love the scrappy look but am not sure if I could do a bed-sized quilt in just pineapples. It would probably have to be something that I picked up and worked on in between other quilts, I think. Sewing pineapples for weeks on end would turn my brain into a pineapple slushy, I'm afraid. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And what inspired all this digging through scraps? During two weeks in March I was down and out with a cold that I couldn't shake and just needed to do something that didn't require much thinking. I had seen this foundation-pieced rooster online and thought it would be fun to try, once again using ONLY scraps from the scrap bin. I purchased the pattern from <a href="http://www.sewwhatsherlock.com/shop/sew-what-sherlocks-paper-pieced-rooster/" target="_blank">Sew What Sherlock</a>, and had a blast choosing bits of old fabrics to "paint" my rooster. I veered from the pattern somewhat and did my own thing when it came to the background. Now, for the record, I am not a rooster collector nor do I decorate with roosters in my house, but this was just fun to do.</div>

I didn't really have a plan for it once I finished it, so I decided to make it into a pillow. I'm still not sure if I am keeping this for me, giving it as a gift, or I may eventually sell it! But I am glad I took a day off to play without having a plan or deadline for a change, and did something different.</div>

Believe it or not, this fabric is real vintage 1970s. And yes, I've had it since high school! I am pretty sure I made a wrap-around skirt out of it back in the day when I sewed clothes. I guess there was a reason I've held on to it all these years! Anyway, it worked out great for this pillow.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And my final scrap busting project "in progress" is this crocheted rag rug. I'm getting close to the finish line, probably only ten more rounds to go. This uses up so much fabric, it's a great way to dwindle down some of that old stuff I won't ever use in a quilt. I also love using old cotton floral decorator prints, once again, VINTAGE! Some of this I've had forever, it screamed 1980s, so now that it's in a rug, I don't feel so guilty about holding on to it. I'm not using a pattern, in case anyone is going to ask me, I am sort of figuring this out as I go. I cut my strips at 1 1/4" wide and use a size L or M hook, depending on the tension I want. This is the first time I've done a rug in a rectangular format like this, normally I make ovals like the one pictured below.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here is one I did a couple of years ago, now very much faded since it gets direct sun on it most of the day. But I love the patina they get after being used and washed. And these crocheted rugs wash extremely well, they hold up for years, much better than anything store-bought, and they are pet-friendly, which is very important in our house.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I know I had promised photos from the AQS Daytona Quilt Show to share, but I apologize, I still have not taken the time to go through and edit them just yet. With being sick and then playing catch up for the last several weeks, sitting in front of the computer on my time off hasn't been what I want to do after being in front of it all day at work. So hopefully I will eventually get around to it and share them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Hope this has inspired you to dig through your own scraps and make something fun! It's amazing to see how such a little bit of fabric goes a long way. </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Last month I finally added borders and completed the top. It's been sitting way too long and I had several ideas in mind for borders over the last year, but chose to do scrappy diamonds. I thought it worked well with the scrappy style of the rest of the quilt. It was challenging to get it all together, but I am really pleased with the end result. Now I just need to decide how to quilt it!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The floral border is a piece of some really old curtain fabric that I think was my mother's from an old house. It was just enough and the colors worked, so it's one less piece of fabric I am holding onto for "someday!"</div>

I have just now gotten around to loading my photos from the AQS Daytona Show. I will get them organized and post those as soon as I can. The show was really very good and it was so inspiring to see some of the amazingly beautiful quilts by the "Who's Who" in the show quilt world. There is so much talent and creativity by so many extremely talented women out there. </div>

Let's not even talk about the fact that January just blew right on by! You know how it is, you get so completely focused on something and it seems like everything else in your life just falls by the wayside. I lost two months, all of November and December, without one stitch at my sewing machine, so there was no way I was coming up for air until I had something to show for it this month!</div>

Originally I had great plans to make this quilt and have it completed for Christmas 2015. Needless to say, that did not happen and the most I had accomplished before the holidays was pulling fabrics for this quilt. </div>

I dipped into my stash of gorgeous florals (that I never seem to want to cut). I wanted something that could play a background role without adding a lot of competing color. This floral is an older Moda print, <a href="http://storefront.unitednotions.com/storefrontCommerce/itemDetail.do?item-id=382489&order-quantity=1&customer-item=1867.08756&order-uom=&warehouse-id=6&item-number=1867.08756">Seaside Rose</a>, and I love how it worked with the pinks and greens. Due to its popularity, it has been re-released and I've seen it available on several sites again (<a href="https://www.shabbyfabrics.com/3-Sisters-Favorites-3765-11-China-White-by-3-Sisters-for-Moda-Fabrics-P41488.aspx?categoryid=96">shabbyfabrics.com</a> currently has it in stock). </div>

This is my own design, inspired by an antique quilt. I added the chevron inner border (note all those Y-seams!) which repeats the small diamond shape in the stars and a large outer floral border for some feather quilting I am planning. The smaller dark pink stars in the floral squares are appliqued. At this time, there is no pattern available. I am still playing around with titles for this quilt. It reminds me of peppermint candy for some reason, so I keep coming back to the title "Peppermint & Roses."</div>

Earlier in January I attended the <a href="http://www.quiltfest.com/upcoming-shows-and-events/world-quilt-florida-2/">Florida World Quilt Show</a> in Orlando. This is the same show that has always been in West Palm Beach until being moved this year. I was very excited to see the show promoters moved it to Orlando, since that is almost in my backyard. I entered my quilt, "Grandmother's Cabin" and was honored to have received an award for Best Sewing Machine Workmanship. It was so nice to be recognized for all those long hours of free-motion quilting hundreds and hundreds of straight little grid lines! </div>

Hopefully that makes up for my absence! Sorry if this post has bogged down your computers and iPads! I wanted to cram everything in while I had the time to blog. I will be attending another large <a href="http://www.quiltweek.com/locations/daytona/">AQS</a> quilt show at the end of February which is being held right here in my backyard in <a href="http://www.quiltweek.com/locations/daytona/">Daytona Beach, FL</a>! This is a first for us and quite a big deal. I am looking forward to going and will have my Grandmother's Cabin entered in that show as well. Stay tuned, I hope to have lots of photos to share. Until next time. . . .Happy Quilting!</div>

There are so many beautiful homes on blog tours right now, I have enjoyed seeing how others decorate during the holidays. I love seeing the creativity, talent and originality these women express through their homes. Their inspiration is just what I needed to get in the holiday mood myself. Since I haven't done a bit quilting in several weeks (and have nothing new in the way of quilts to share), I thought I would share some photos of our home with you. Enjoy!</div>

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you are ready for the holiday weekend, it certainly snuck up quickly this year. Up until today, we have been having July-like weather which has made any holiday prep hard to get excited about. But we finally have more "fall like" weather for Florida, below 75 degrees, and it is a welcome change!</div>

I am actually ahead of schedule for a change. I have been cleaning my house over the last couple of weeks to get a jump on the to-do list before the holidays. What a great feeling to be done with all of it. The grocery shopping is completed, the dining table is set, and the kitchen prep will begin on Wednesday.</div>

Over the last month or so I have been tackling my endless list of DIY projects. We needed additional seating in our dining room for the holidays and my husband found four of these chairs at a Good Will store for only $5.00 each! You can see they were originally Harvest Gold circa 1968! The fabric on the seats was even uglier. But with several coats of white paint and a pretty blue stripe fabric, I transformed them into something that will work for us as well as blend in with our existing dining décor. </div>

I got so inspired to make this quilt after I received the book, <u>Red &White Quilts Infinite Variety</u>. If you haven't gotten your copy of this fabulous book yet, definitely put this at the TOP of your wish list, it is by far one of the best quilt books EVER! I take it to bed with me at night and drool over this fabulous quilt collection, (then dream about the quilts!). This isn't a "how-to" or instructional quilt book, but it is probably the best I have seen as far as photos, with over 653 pictures of the quilts. Incredible doesn't begin to describe it! It will inspire you beyond belief, every quilter needs this book! </div>

In the evenings I have been trying to work on projects to reduce my boxes of 1 1/4" fabric strips. The fabric hoarding is getting out of control! This locker-hooked rag rug was made from all the leftovers from the <a href="http://bloominginchintz.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html" target="_blank">log cabin quilt</a> I made my husband last year. Since his study is the only room in our house that has darker colors in it, I knew the likelihood of making other quilts with these was slim.</div>

It worked out perfectly since his study has an exterior door that opens onto our back porch, and the colors match his eclectic taste and things that he likes to collect. And the best part is, it used up over 10 yards of fabric!</div>

I also finished up a small hexagon flower quilt top I've been English paper-piecing for awhile now. This is made only from small bits of scraps from my scrap bins, I did not cut into yardage at all for this. It was a blast to make, I absolutely love doing the hand piecing. I took it with me everywhere, in the car, on the plane, in hotel rooms, in front of the television in the evenings. Before you know it, you have hundreds of these little flowers made. </div>

I finally finished my quilt last week, Grandmother's Cabin, and thought I would share some photos with you, since I know I am long overdue for an update. Some of these pictures are before I put the binding on, some are with a different camera so colors may vary, but you get the idea. </div>

I had hoped I'd finish it long before now, but a few of life's interruptions during the month of September pushed my finish date up a bit further than I originally planned. However, I was still able to meet a deadline I had set for entering it into several shows coming up, so on that note, I am quite pleased it is done and ready to send off into the quilt show world.</div>

I made the top back in 2012 and it has been sitting in a closet waiting to be quilted up until a couple of months ago. I knew I wanted a lot of quilting on it, but really wasn't certain as to how elaborate I wanted it to be.</div>

The log cabin blocks were foundation-pieced on paper. The hexagon flowers were made using the English paper-piecing method. The Dresden plates and the hexagon flower vine are all hand-appliqued. This is only the second quilt I have ever hand-appliqued.</div>

Since the quilt is so busy visually with so many pieces and such a wide variety of different fabrics, I decided to keep the quilting clean and simple with lots of grid quilting and straight lines. Although though there is still a ton of quilting, it tends to play a more supportive "background" role instead of obliterating the details of the quilt itself. This is also the first time I have used a wool batting, which is <a href="http://www.hobbsbatting.com/our-products/tuscany-collection/" target="_blank">Hobb's Tuscany Wool</a>. The top thread is <a href="http://www.wonderfil.net/Invisafil.htm" target="_blank">Wonderfil Invisafil</a> 100 weight and the bobbin thread is <a href="http://www.wonderfilonline.com/index.php?cPath=21_25" target="_blank">Wonderfil DecoBob</a> 80 weight. The quilt finishes at 91 inches square, the log cabin blocks are 9 inches and the border is approximately 9 1/2 inches wide.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I did mark every single line with a fine-tipped water-soluble blue pen. The grid lines are a half-inch apart and all of the lines were quilted with free-motion quilting. The only thing I used the walking foot on is the narrow cable in the border. The log cabin blocks are free-motion quilted in the ditch, spiraling out from the center by quilting in the seam line of each strip.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My inspiration for this quilt came from my infatuation with traditional quilts from the 1930s. After I finished the log cabin blocks and was deciding on a border, I got the idea to combine a couple of classic quilt motifs that are easily recognizable into a single quilt to pay tribute to the 30s era as well as to our grandmothers that made them. Since I also love scrap quilts as well as collecting fabrics that are reminiscent of the Depression Era, I challenged myself to use as many fabrics in the quilt as possible. I kept the overall values on the lighter side in order to evoke a sense of the pastel, candy colors associated with that time period. This is an original design and there is no pattern available.</div>

And finally I would like to send out a big thank you to all of you who have been e-mailing me as to my whereabouts, your various questions, and the lovely comments I receive on my tutorials. I am so flattered and appreciative of all the e-mails, as well as being overwhelmed at the interest in my work. You never really know how many people you reach when you blog, but I will say that the response from all of you is very gratifying and I wish there was a way I could meet you all in person to say thanks from the bottom of my heart! Until next time. . . Happy Quilting!</div>

This next piece is a tribute to Ernest Hemingway. It was so unusual and so well done, the pictures don't do it justice. I was juggling two different cameras to capture the detail but the lighting wasn't the best for photography, so the camera didn't capture the three dimensional quality of the piece. </div>

This last piece was probably my favorite. To actually see a work by <a href="http://janeburchcochran.com/" target="_blank">Jane Burch Cochran</a> up close and in person made my week! She has been one of my favorite art quilters for over 20+ years but I had only seen her work in books up until now. Her quilts remind me of old crazy quilts but are personal stories about her life. I love her collection of found objects and they way she combines things, it appeals to the magpie in me! Her work is such an inspiration for all of that "stuff" we hoard! Sorry for so many photos, but I wanted you to appreciate all that is in this quilt.</div>

This past week a friend of mine and I were lucky enough to catch the quilt exhibit, <a href="http://textiles.fit.edu/current-exhibitions.php#.Vc9pc8vD99A" target="_blank">Southern Accents</a>, at the <a href="http://textiles.fit.edu/" target="_blank">Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts</a> in Melbourne, Florida. This exhibit has been open for the last several months and ends on August 22nd. I highly recommend it to anyone in the central Florida area if you have an interest in art quilts or quilts in general. The textile museum is a real treasure for Florida and we are so lucky to have something that supports artists and exhibits quilts, textiles and fiber art in our state! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The show was juried by <a href="http://www.sandrasider.com/" target="_blank">Sandra Sider</a> for <a href="http://www.saqa.com/" target="_blank">Studio Art Quilt Associates</a>. There were a total of 43 art quilts in this show, all by southern United States quilters. The show's theme was based on the question, "What makes the southern United States special?" Various aspects of fashion, food, family, crafts, décor, music, literature, architecture, nature, and social issues comprised the subject matter of these quilts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only requirement of the art quilt is that it consists of three layers, a top, batting of some sort and a backing. The artist is free to express their idea in any way they choose using any number and variety of materials. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am dividing this up between two blog posts of just some of the quilts that I found of interest.</div>

Well, I'm off porch cushions and back onto quilting for a bit! I'm sure most of you are relieved! Here are several pictures of a simple 25-patch quilt I finished up this week. I am gearing up to machine quilt a top that will require a substantial amount of time, so I needed something to do quickly to get back in the groove. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I had pieced the top back in April when I was on a mission to use up a bunch of leftover scraps laying around from another quilt. I am considering this to be a "fall" quilt for me since I really don't care for the color orange in our house (but yet I LOVE Halloween, go figure!) and this is probably as close as I will get to a fall-looking quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is the top prior to quilting. The small squares finish out at an odd size at 1 1/8". Since I was using up leftovers, it didn't matter to me since this is an easy pattern to adjust accordingly. Sorry if the lighting varies from photo to photo, they were all taken at different times and in different rooms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1qJzQuR6dvtU10OyxGcXFOA3jmjSXx05fJrliFdQFOIfuAIWShDR1rjFBAlweLgzod3p_5Dm6bjEYV6ayy2qCwOp20eKvuxzkdWs3U66JrPZ2y7tfajmkhkiauPJ64CaJdEHwB0phw/s1600/basting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1qJzQuR6dvtU10OyxGcXFOA3jmjSXx05fJrliFdQFOIfuAIWShDR1rjFBAlweLgzod3p_5Dm6bjEYV6ayy2qCwOp20eKvuxzkdWs3U66JrPZ2y7tfajmkhkiauPJ64CaJdEHwB0phw/s640/basting.jpg" title="Bittersweet by Rahna Summerlin www.bloominginchintz.blogspot.com" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This is after I have marked the entire top and am pin-basting the layers together. And yes, I do mark every single line. I want my quilting to be even and uniform and following the lines exactly is the only way I can get that look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD8ISJw9RRkJpju-C6pBgHoVMXMYaqtbZI1CSpuJiIgUvAbM37-AxqQlHOwcMWyhe81mdi3ZHQpJtfULaZnZhuW1KryoHE5zSo-bjqMVNbJOqB2f-9pu_uDJZ_Nq_mtpCCkFNwPJb_jw/s1600/angle+quilted+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD8ISJw9RRkJpju-C6pBgHoVMXMYaqtbZI1CSpuJiIgUvAbM37-AxqQlHOwcMWyhe81mdi3ZHQpJtfULaZnZhuW1KryoHE5zSo-bjqMVNbJOqB2f-9pu_uDJZ_Nq_mtpCCkFNwPJb_jw/s640/angle+quilted+2.jpg" title="Bittersweet by Rahna Summerlin www.bloominginchintz.blogspot.com" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And here I've completed all of the quilting. I approached this very simply, quilting vertical lines through the entire quilt at about 7/8" apart from one end to the next, all with my <a href="http://bloominginchintz.blogspot.com/2014/04/quilting-cables.html" target="_blank">walking foot</a>. The quilt is small, at approximately 50" by 60", so the quilting process went very quickly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Next I quilted a grid in the opposite direction, but only in the 25-patch blocks. I did this by free-motion quilting the lines. I started at the far left side of each block, traveling down the first line, then over to the next line by quilting in the ditch, then back up the second line, then over to the third line by quilting in the ditch, down the third line, etc. I could actually travel from block to block within each row with this method without having to stop and start. (In the photo above, the free-motion lines I am referring to are horizontal in the picture.) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I used <a href="http://www.wonderfil.net/Invisafil.htm" target="_blank">Wonderfil Invisafil</a> for the top thread and Mettler Metrosene in the bobbin, both of which are polyester and very, very fine at 100 weight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So now that I feel like I finished a project and got a sense of instant gratification, I am ready to tackle my next machine quilting project. I have been laboring over what to do on the quilt you see below for three years now. I am finally ready to get on with it! I have a couple of deadlines rapidly approaching so this is as good a time as any to tackle a couple of tops that have been in "waiting" mode. Here is a peek of what I will be working on, below. The half-inch grid stencil is from <a href="http://quiltingstencils.com/" target="_blank">The Stencil Company</a> and I am using fine-tipped blue water soluble marking pens to mark the quilt.</div>

I am a procrastinator, I admit it, especially when it comes to daunting projects that I know are going to take me a very long time to complete. However, I know I am not alone, especially where quilters are concerned! We know we would much rather be cutting fabric up into little pieces and sewing them back together than doing just about anything else. </div>

But the time has come for me to snap out of it and take on some of these projects that are hanging over me (really more like NAGGING at me) and creating feelings of guilt and frustration for not getting them done! (I am kind of being my own therapist here!) And one of the biggest projects I've been putting off for a long while is making new cushions for ALL of our porch furniture. It is daunting, to say the least. . . .we have FOUR porches! And we hoard antique wicker furniture like we will never see it again, it's kind of scary! But who can resist a bargain, right?? So here is my progress report so far. . . </div>

Starting with a little sunroom off our kitchen. . .it's enclosed, fairly small, but probably one of my favorite spaces in our entire house (hence, I find myself wishing it was bigger at times. . .). I hang out here a lot, it's usually where I talk on the phone, play on my iPad, and where my husband and I sit and chit chat about work. It's also our pets' favorite hangout, they have a front row view to all that wildlife on the other side of the glass. </div>

The pink striped fabric is one I've had for years, but it's not an outdoor fabric, and I'm sure I will kick myself in a year or two because I know it's going to fade terribly. But that's fine, faded is good, right? It will just look antique! The floral center in the back cushions is cut from a vintage rayon bedspread I have had forever. I also have the same print with a blue background that I'm anxious to use somewhere else in the house. The sofa/glider is old, old, old and super comfy, I love that piece, it's great for naps! I made the cushions for it and did the ruffle around the bottom a few years back. The flower pillows I crocheted from a Mary Englebreit pattern I bought years ago. They've held up fairly well but I am still debating if I want to do something different there instead.</div>

Sorry, but I'm only showing cropped photos right now so you can get a glimpse. I am still working on several things out here, it's a work in progress. This porch is fairly good size and once again, lots of wicker! It is outdoors, although it is covered. But since it is exposed to all of the nasty elements we have here in Florida, all of this fabric is outdoor fabric to withstand the challenges of being outside. I definitely don't want to be redoing all of this work in a couple of years!</div>

Since I had both the floral and striped fabrics, I decided to keep this fairly monochromatic. Our house exterior is blue, the porch floor is blue, it's just easier to keep it in the blue family and I will accent with color later down the road. Fabric companies aren't really manufacturing anything in pretty florals right now when it comes to outdoor fabrics in particular. So I am trying to make the most of what I already have, although I know I am going to run out of the floral soon, and then it will be a challenge to get creative.</div>

More chairs. . . .you would think we had 20 people living in our house with all this seating! So far in the past month I've made 16 upholstered seat and back cushions and 7 pillows to date. I'm almost finished with the back porch and getting started on the front porch next. From there I will move on to another porch off our bedroom. . . Then I think we need to have a party to celebrate!</div>

Finally, I wanted to include a few pictures my brother sent me of his quilt that I made (see my <a href="http://bloominginchintz.blogspot.com/2015/05/brotherly-love.html" target="_blank">Brotherly Love</a> post). This is a second home he and his partner own in upstate New York. I have yet to visit there, so I had to kind of guess how this quilt was going to coordinate with their décor. </div>

I am so thrilled to see the quilt hanging in his living room. There is nothing better than seeing a quilt you have labored over and given as a gift being used and loved! And I am so happy it goes with their décor and furnishings.</div>

This is what I've been working on lately, nothing quilty this time around, but thought you'd still like to have a peek. I've been preoccupied with work, home and yard projects these last weeks, so quilting hasn't been in the forefront. But I still needed to be sewing something in my down time!</div>

I wanted to play and experiment with a couple of things without getting involved with a huge project like a quilt. I also have been trying to find the perfect tote bag for hauling stuff to and from work as well as for taking needlework projects along on road trips. Everything I've seen in the stores just didn't grab me and all were lacking in some way, especially in pockets. So what the heck, I thought I'd make my own!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The structure of the bag is based on a pattern by <a href="http://ellenmedlockstudio.com/quotthe-pocket-totequot-sewing-pattern.html" target="_blank">Ellen Medlock</a>, but I veered from her instructions and design in several areas and did my own thing. I was going for a vintagey floral look (what else!). All of the floral fabrics are old home décor fabrics I've had forever. The dot is an old Moda fabric. I wanted the tote to be fairly sturdy and able to stand upright on its own. I lined all of the outer pieces with two layers of Pellon Décor Bond fusible interfacing and lined the inner pieces (lining) with a layer of cotton batting.</div>

This side has three pockets. The photo of the ballerina is a picture of my grandmother as a young girl. I added the quote in Photoshop and printed it on fabric pre-treated with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jenkins-32-Ounce-2000-Bubble-Jet/dp/B00114TEGA/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1433356126&sr=1-1&keywords=bubble+jet+set+2000" target="_blank">Bubble Jet Set 2000</a> on an inkjet printer. You can also buy the already treated inkjet fabric sheets in most fabric stores in packets of 10, I just chose to do my own since it's more cost effective. All the buttons used on this tote are from my vintage stash. The Dream and Create charms were purchased in the jewelry section at Joann's.</div>

And here's the inside. I thought I would make it water-resistant since I carry water bottles with me everywhere. I experimented with fusible matte vinyl for the lining pieces. It worked well on this home décor fabric and it was pliable and easy to sew. You have to be really careful after you adhere it to the fabric, though, it can't be ironed during the construction process or it will melt. It doesn't like to be overly handled, either. Turning the bag inside out at the end caused it to rumple and crease quite a lot and if it was on the outside of the bag, it would be very noticeable. But since it's the lining, it doesn't show much and no one will see it but me!</div>

Hope you might be inspired to even make a bag of your own! I've been having a blast on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/bloomsinchintz/tote-this-bag/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> pinning tons of inspiration in case I decide to make more. I also stumbled on a couple of websites that have great information. . . <a href="http://u-handbag.typepad.com/uhandblog/freebie-.html" target="_blank">U*Handbag</a> and <a href="http://nicolemdesign.blogspot.com/2010/08/combining-interfacings-for-bag-making.html" target="_blank">You Sew Girl</a> have some good tutorials for anyone interested.

Thought I'd show you what I've been working on now that the weekend is over. I made this quilt for my brother's birthday, which is next week, and gave it to him yesterday while we celebrated Mother's Day. He was surprised, which is how I had hoped it would play out, since I have been really good about refraining from posting pictures anywhere he would have seen them until after the fact.</div>

I challenged myself to use what I already had on hand, even the backing and batting, and the only thing I had to go out and purchase was thread. Once again, it is such a great feeling to use up fabric that I've had forever! Even the blue and white squares are actually leftover parts from a quilt I made several years ago.</div>

and straight diagonal lines in the setting triangles around the outer edge. In the outer border I did a cable, of course! I can't resist cables when I have the opportunity to add them.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And I didn't even bother trying to figure out the spacing in order for the cable to wrap around the corner, I just let each side dead end into the seam line or off the edge of the quilt. I think it looks fine doing it this way. So many antique quilts were quilted just like this.</div>

And for those of you that are curious, I used Quilter's Dream Request 100% cotton batting. The threads I quilted with were Wonderfil Invisafil 100 wt. 100% polyester for the in-the-ditch quilting, Wonderfil DecoBob 80wt. 100% polyester for the straight line quilting, and Mettler Metrosene 3-ply/100wt. 100% polyester for the cable quilting and in the bobbin. I've just started using Metrosene and so far am really happy with the way it works in my machine, a bit less finicky than Invisafil, and the final result is very similar with its matte finish and the way it sinks into the fabric.</div>

I thought I would write a quick post while I have a few minutes to show what I've been doing the last couple of weeks. I'm sure most of you have heard of the foundation, <a href="http://www.qovf.org/" target="_blank">Quilts of Valor</a>. If you haven't, this is a wonderful organization whose mission is to "cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
While deciding what to purge out of my fabric closet, I thought I would do something even better than just donating a box or two of fabric this year. Like most quilters, I tend to <strike><span style="font-size: x-small;">hoard</span></strike> collect fabric! I thought what better way to use fabric I no longer want than to actually MAKE a quilt to donate. By creating a quilt to make someone feel comforted and happy, I would also get the satisfaction of actually making something quickly and feel like I got in some quality sewing time. I did some searching to see which organizations are accepting quilts and was overwhelmed to find so many wonderful groups.</div>

Based on the style of fabrics I have on hand, I chose to make something for an adult. I had read articles about <a href="http://www.qovf.org/" target="_blank">Quilts of Valor</a> in the past but decided to do additional research. After reading the info on their website and seeing what a huge impact they have had, I chose to do a Quilt of Valor in the traditional red, white and blue colors. There is a set of guidelines that gives the basic requirements for donating a quilt. According to their website, they have donated 115,900 quilts to date! I think that is absolutely amazing!</div>

This is a double Irish chain and I did a simple border on two sides to get the quilt to the required dimensions. It went together very quickly and I got tremendous satisfaction from making it. I will eventually quilt it in the upcoming months. I hope to make more quilts to donate in down time when I need to "use up fabric!". </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And finally, I made a bed skirt to coordinate with the Ocean Waves quilt I made for our bed. I wound up using fabric I had on hand that I originally had bought for a quilt backing. It worked out perfectly and once again, I used something out of my closet! Yay!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know, I know, there are some of you wondering where all the vintage floral pillows went! And why haven't I made the new pillows out of the florals I showed you? Well. . . . after I put the new bed skirt and quilt on the bed and saw how well it all tied with the existing floral area rug, I thought I would try living with it like this for awhile. I am kind of liking this new de-pillowed, clean, calm and serene look! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE vintage florals and will always love vintage florals. But I was getting tired of the time it takes every morning to make the bed with a dozen decorative pillows! Not to mention where they all wind up every night when my husband unmakes the bed! So I'm trying this for now, I still may add two smaller pillows in front of the shams, it seems to still need a little something, but overall, I am pretty happy with the new look.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

Well, my Ocean Waves quilt is finally finished and I am really happy with how it turned out and ready to move on! </div>

I still have lots to do as far as decorating/re-decorating our bedroom goes, but this quilt was probably the most labor intensive part of the project, so now I feel like I can officially BEGIN with the rest of my to-do list now that this is done. I started this quilt in mid-December and have put off so many other things these last few months in order to stay focused on this quilt. But now I am really ready to play catch up, including a major spring cleaning of our house.</div>

I did get my Bernina 710 back in time to finish the quilt. I had probably done about 80% of the quilting with my old 440 and it worked great through the entire process. But having the 710 and the extra space under the arm made a world of difference! I could easily quilt the feathered wreaths in the center of the quilt without cramming the rest of the quilt under the machine. It was wonderful! And between free-motion quilting and straight line quilting with the walking foot, I had no issues with the <a href="http://www.wonderfil.net/Invisafil.htm" target="_blank">Invisafil</a> thread shredding this time around. Hooray! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those of you that are curious, the upper thread is Invisafil (100% polyester, 100 weight, very fine) and the bobbin thread is Mettler Metrosene (100% polyester, fine). The batting is <a href="http://www.hobbsbatting.com/our-products/heirloom-collection/" target="_blank">Hobb's Heirloom 80% cotton/20% polyester</a>. I use this batting predominately because I really like a flat, crinkled, vintage look. I did wash the quilt prior to binding it. I know many quilters have made the transition over to the wool battings but I have yet to do so. Something about wool in Florida just doesn't sound appealing to me! But I do think the quilts that are quilted with the wool battings are just spectacular and I will probably eventually try one just to see if I like it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
All the straight lines, the two cable borders, and the straight lines behind the large feathered border were done with a walking foot. The feathered wreaths in the white squares and feathered border were all free-motioned. I did use the Schmetz #75/11 quilting needle and I did slow down my quilting speed. I also lowered my tension even more than what my dealer suggested. Part of the reason for this is that I used a pale pink thread in the bobbin to match the backing and with the tension set at 3.0, I could see little pink dots of thread coming to the top of the quilt in the holes the needle left behind. So for free-motion quilting I set the tension down to 2.0 and for walking foot quilting, I set the tension at 2.25. The stitch quality looks fine on both the front and back and this eliminated any bobbin thread from showing on the top side. I did not have a single thread breakage! Back to being a happy quilter!</div>

And I just want to thank those of you that cheered me on for my perseverance! I appreciate the support! I'm sure you've all been in a situation at least once where you keep asking yourself, why the heck am I going to so much trouble and aggravation?? But the extra effort is generally worth it in the end and I will admit that I really am happy with the way this turned out.</div>

And one last thank you. . . .I LOVE all of the comments and e-mails you all are sending me and I am just so overwhelmed at the response I've gotten from all of you! I know I don't blog nearly as often as many popular bloggers do, but I really do appreciate your loyalty and sticking around in spite of that. You really have no idea how broad of an audience you have when you blog, there are stats you can check to see how many hits a post gets, but as far as readership, I am truly clueless as to how big of an audience I have. Sometimes I wish I could take a roll call! But it is just so reassuring to have real live feedback from you and it lets me know that I am not just writing to some void in outer space! So again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, commenting, and for your support! Hugs to all of you! </div>
