I can't believe it's October.

 These two little handles pretty much sum up my quilting in September.  Clint told me not to plan on getting any quilting done in September and he was right.  

  We took a family trip and discovered that this little monkey is super talented...he's excellent at sucking on his big toe.

 These two are super strong...

Talkin' threads....

I don't profess to be an expert on thread, but since my last post I figured I better answer a few more questions. So, here's kind of a review of the thread that I have tried and liked. This first example is an example of quilting done with Kimono Silk thread by Superior Threads.

As you can see in this detailed quilting picture the Kimono Silk performed perfectly. The thread was a little more...

How I choose my thread for allover quilting....

1 

Just a heads up, the thread is a little hard to pick out in the pictures since the quilt is a little busy. Hopefully I can explain why I chose the thread I did for my latest quilting project that was a free motion allover pattern. You should see three pieces of thread spread out in the picture above. The top on is a light tan, the middle is pink, and the bottom thread is red.

I'm not dead yet.....

as in the movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," 1

Yep, it's me!! I am still alive. I didn't think anyone would notice that I had been absent from my blog until this morning I got an email asking if I was okay. So, yep, I'm okay and yes, I am wearing an Avenger's t-shirt bought at WalMart in the little boys clothing section. Call it crazy if you want, but I like it and I am sure you will see me...

All Grown Up!! A new pattern....

1 

When my daughter was a baby I made a quilt that I dedicated to her and named it after her, called Liliana's Heart. It is amazing that my baby is 7 now and that quilt I made all those years ago is a reflection on my love for her and also proof that I got better at quilting as the years have passed by....

She's so big now! Time flies too fast in my opinion!

Can you believe I quilted this? Yeah,...

Winner, and some other stuff!!

  How's that for a lame title? Anyway - it has been a busy week.  Fun, crazy, but most importantly - productive.  The toddler is such a help!  First off, thanks so much for all your sweet comments on my last post!  You make me feel so loved!  Congratulations to Jenny from Cut.Sew.Iron.Repeat- she has won a copy of Quiltmaker magazine.

Cover girl, and a giveaway!!!


I was so excited to receive my copy of Quiltmaker's Quilt from 100 Blocks and even more excited when I noticed that my quilt made the front page!  It is the quilt on the far right.  It was fun drawing up this design using my block from Quiltmaker's 100 blocks volume 5. So fun!


It seriously is so cool to have my design in this magazine. I still cannot believe it! I love the art of designing quilts...

I've been busy....

sneak peek1 

Sadly, this is all I can show you what I have been working on. It may not look pleasing as far as my regular quilting, but it totally makes sense if you see the whole quilt and I happen to love it! You will be able to see the whole quilt in a magazine around February - I will keep you updated on that. In the mean time, have a fabulous day!

My first magazine article!!

1 

 I have been lucky enough to have some of my projects in magazines, but this would be my first written article explaining one of my customer quilts and the process I took in quilting it. So, needless to say I was super excited when this magazine showed up on my door step: Machine Quilting Unlimited - September/October 2012 issue, you can get your copy here.  I talked about Jan's quilt - Star...

M.I.A - my past week via Instagram


I have to say that I have felt bad that I have been absent in the blog world. I had important family events to be to and I didn't bring my computer at all! It was a nice break from regular working. So, me and Jess and my little guy Jonah hit the road last week. Clint and I only have one car because we don't need two since we both work at home, but on the rare occasion that I need to be somewhere...
