The last of the Three

So here is the last quilt that I did during my recent long arm session. It is called "Bacon and Eggs".  It is a pattern I got from my LQS in Lewisville, TX called, Quilt country.  It is primarily 2 1/2 inch strips or you can use a jelly roll. You then add the spot of color for the blocks and then you are done. I chose pink for mine.  I have so much black and white fabric that I may do another one, I would probably do yellow this time.

And yes, you can tell that I really could care less how my hair looked for this picture.

Just one more quilt

Yes, I am still trying to finish up quilts that I have started. I might actually give this one to my kid. Here is another quilt that I did entirely out of scraps. One of the local quilt shops I frequent has a sit and sew day. Occasionally I will go and there was one lady that had a little talk with me about "disposing of" scraps. Needless to say, she was right. This scrappy four patch is what came out of it.

My latest escapades

Yes
I have been horribly absent as of late but I wanted to let you know what I have been up to for the last few months. I have been extremely busy at work. But I managed to find a new hobby. I new, very expensive, hobby. Although, it takes me to my happy place so I am not going to complain too much.

So yes, I am QUILTING. It takes me to my happy place. I went to quilt a few that I had pieced together some months ago. Now, I just have to bind them. 

I plan on doing a long arm quilting session ever couple of months. I managed to get 3 quilts completed today. I would have taken be forever on my sewing machine. Although, I have never tried to do free motion quilting on my new machine.

In any case, I hope you like it.

Just one more new hobby

Yes,

It's me again. My life has gotten pretty busy again. I am happy about it though. I can't stand being bored. So, I get to be home for 2 weeks straight. Ya, gotta love sleeping in your own bed. So, I have taken up quilting. Yes, I know.  Me, quilting??? I can barely sew a button on but I am giving it a go. I bought a new sewing machine. One that is pretty simple but I really want to try doing rag quilts. Of course. I am not going to give up my other hobbies. In fact, I had a wonderful creative weekend that I still have a lot of stuff to share but I will get to that in a minute. 

So here is the share for today.

I am still in love with my Kenny K images.  I have pulled out the stops with the Copics again. I had to hold off on adding to the collection until next month. But I definitely will be doing that soon.  This page was done with a background of Tim Holtz Distress stains. They are always good for a quick background.  I have been trying to figure out how to get more depth in the background on this. But I think when I do my cruise this year this will definitely be in my supplies list. I have been trying to figure out something that is a little less messy to take but will still allow me to have some freedom for creation.  I actually chose to post this one on the Kenny K Crew's challenge blog. It's anything goes this time.  I also want to link this to Crafting from the heart. They also have a theme of anything goes this week.

One thing I want to try as well is journaling. I actually bought a book that has 642 things to write a about. Not sure why but I really wanted the items in here. I think it would be a really cool thing to do as a round robin type journal. Someday.. The first one i looked at it is " Write a witch's spell"

"round and round, spin today. Look to the North and start to say..  I am beautiful, I am great. Now cover your face so that you cannot see.. Because the person inside is what you really want to be."

Ok, Enough of being corny, until later.
