Please take the time to watch this video, my dh came across it and I was truly mesmorized with the quality and the time Gayle Thomas put into this Quilt Film (give it time to download) it’s nice to watch on full screen to get the full affect. Also, turn up your sound 🙂 Enjoy!!
22 years old bye ol’ friend (224)
I know I know this isn’t quilting related per se but without this necessary item daily I wouldn’t be able to attend quilt shows or do quilting gigs or attend my quilt guild meetings…well you get the drift.
This was my first hair dryer and it kicked the bucket the other day much to my surprise because my hair was still sopping and we were headed out the door…so I turned up the heat and dried my hair (who said I wasn’t resourceful lol)
But here’s a big cheers to you ol’ girl for 22 years of great blow drying LOL I couldn’t resist posting this!!
p.s. hopefully my new blow dryer will give me another 22 years of good hair styles 🙂
Journey of a Quilter getting Finished (223)
My Friend Kathy and I made a pact that we would have our Journey of a Quilter tops finished by the Heritage Park Show (end of May) that being said, we had a quilt guild meeting in between and our Quilt Show in Chestermere (please stop by and say hi) is May 7 so our dates of completion have been cut by 3 weeks YIKES!! Well I thought I would get a move on this finishing thing..since I have to finish A Kittens Tale also…
cut the batting – check!
the back was pieced last year and just waiting patiently to be used – check!
crawling around on the carpet adding a million basting pins, sore knees – check! Thanks to Jen who stopped by for some stitching that day – good motivation to get pinning!
Practicing my free motion quilting from Ana’s class (which I learnt so much). I only used my free motion quilting foot on this project what a learning curve but I think I’m getting it finally.
I’m thinking this pebbling filler stitch is my new favourite!! I’m not kidding it’s super easy to get into a groove with this stitch, I’m in LOVE! What do you think? Liking it aren’t you?
I have more pics to take and show you, I’ve done quite a bit more since these were taken so I’ll get more pics here to show y’all.
Until next time, stay happy and creative, get your quilt tops pinned and layered and it won’t seem like such a daunting task to start the quilting process:)
