That sounds wonderfully dramatic doesn't it? But... change is a terrifying and difficult thing for me - I don't "do" change well... even when it's good change!<br />
<br />
So here I am on the verge of several BIG changes and for one of the first times in my life I recognize excitement outweighing the fears.<br />
This is really a God thing in me - and I know this for several reasons that I'd love to go on and on about because it just never gets old to really SEE how God is moving in your life - however as this is a quilting blog and I have a regular blog for life stuff - I'll leave it at God is bigger than any fear and He moves in ways that are beyond amazing and I'm continually humbled by His love and care for me and my family!<br />
<br />
This morning I spent some time going through photos of work I've done since moving to the 'sticks' of NH. This move was a heart thing and has been wonderful even when it's been hard at times. This place allowed me a sewing room and then a quilting machine, then a studio space and my long-arm machine... all because God has blessed me with an amazing husband who loves me and supports my passion for quilting.<br />
<br />
So in looking back:<br />

I think it's safe to say that I'm practicing my way into my new adventure! Applewood Quilts may be ready for the 'real' world of paying customers - Lord willing/blessing. <br />
<br />
I'm off to the studio to get busy this morning ...once I finish my cup of tea and some real life laundry. Have a joy-filled and quilty Monday everyone!<br />

Long time no post... like years!<br />
<br />
I'm still quilting, my studio is FULL and life is even more so. My beautiful Lenni long-arm is over a year old and I'm still feeling like I'm a newbie - though I know I've learned a lot and my quilting is leaps and bounds better than when I began machine work 4-5 years ago.<br />

It was a labor of love from my dear husband as he re-configured space above our detached garage for me. He added TONS of new LED lighting, built custom furniture for my needs and purchased me a beautiful new APQS long-arm quilting machine.<br />

I found this book quite a few months back and had it on my 'wishlist' at Amazon. Finally I decided to splurge and buy it.<br />
It's a pattern book of 12 blocks - all applique (meaning shapes cut out and layered onto a background, fused/stitched down) these also have some embellishment of buttons and embroidery on some of the designs. The entire pattern is for a quilt but I chose a few to create a wall-hanging as a house-warming gift for a friend.<br />
First I played with shapes and placement.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once I had fused the shapes down I decided that I needed to make a practice block to try out some machine applique stitches and even played with a bit of embroidery (which I've not tried before).</div>

After this little side-trip, I went back to my project and pulled it all together from my stash fabrics. I quilted it - some pattern, some freehand. I've never done a project like this before so I was really going with whatever seemed to work as I went along.</div>

I've only done a very small amount of applique before now and this was so much fun that I've decided I'm going to make the entire quilt for myself at some point. I think that there will most likely be more wall-hangings from this pattern as well. The individual blocks lend themselves to that sort of thing very well and there is lots of room to personalize and even re-word (as I did on the owl block) to suit individuals.<br /><br />All cotton fabrics, warm & natural batting, quilted by my on my Janome 1600P & New Joy Gold frame with various King Tut variegated threads from Superior Threads.<br /></div>

The jelly roll is called Kaleidoscope from Free Spirit and I had a charm pack of plain white so I figured I'd combine the two and see what I could create. This is one of the few times I've had a vision in my head but no actual pattern to follow. I was winging it and making it up as I went.<br />

I started by laying out the strips and just worked in order as they came off the roll. I sliced the charm pack in half creating 2 1/2" rectangles. Then I used angled piecing to create a triangle within each strip and mirrored it for the next strip. <br />

I kept stitching strips and rectangles/triangles, placing the white diamond shapes freely across the surface. I'd splice strips or leave full width as I went without a real plan. Once I'd gone through the stack with one of each color, I asked Jess how she'd prefer it to continue and she opted to have me do the entire set in reverse/mirror to the end. Still randomly inserting the triangles/diamonds.<br />

Once I had the strips done, I felt it was too narrow for a bed quilt. Just about 43" wide. I decided to order a yard of the white and add some borders as well as a side panel. I used a few more of the charm squares and almost ever last scrap of the prints to create a free-form sort of extension down one side.</div>

As a final finish I added a narrow white border around the entire thing. Jess chose a cheery yellow mottled backing and a swirly quilting design. I had just received some new fun variegated colors of King Tut quilting thread and we found a great match to use for the top and a So Fine! yellow that matched the backing to use in the bobbin. I love Superior Threads!<br />
So onto the frame it went and I think I managed a record of getting it loaded, quilted, and bound in just 3 days!<br />

Generally they are all well-behaved and lovely fur-babies. However, Fender (our youngest cat) has a naughty streak and one of her most naughty habits is to chew wires. Her favorite are thin wires like those of earbuds.<br />
This has led to a number of destroyed pairs of earbuds in our family which has left more than one person upset with said cat at any given time.<br />
Enter <a href="http://www.erinerickson.com/2011/11/circle-zip-earbud-pouch-tutorial/" target="_blank">this </a>quick little project that is HIGHLY useful to deter naughty Fender. <br />

I'd seen it <a href="http://www.sewcanshe.com/techlove/" target="_blank">here </a>originally and decided to give it a go. Erin's <a href="http://www.erinerickson.com/2011/11/circle-zip-earbud-pouch-tutorial/" target="_blank">Tutorial </a>for this project is easy to follow - well written and I found I can whip one up in under an hour. I do use a walking foot to sew through the multi-layers and that prevents any puckering problems for me.<br />
I've made two so far - one for Steve and one for Jess.<br />

It's called a "twister" and allows you to transform standard squares into pinwheels fairly easily.<br />
You can read/purchase <a href="http://www.country-schoolhouse.com/twister_tool.htm" target="_blank">here</a>: I bought mine from <a href="http://cvquiltworks.com/" target="_blank">Canton Village Quilt Works</a>, but they are relocating currently and are sold out at the moment.<br />
This is the progression on a project I'm making for my Mom. I will update with fully finished once I get the quilting and binding done.<br />

At the moment this piece is loaded onto the quilting frame as I fight with my stitch length regulator and audition quilting designs. Update will come...<br />
<br />
UPDATE: Finished photos - quilting is done with my Janome 1600P, King Tut Variegated thread in blues and the pattern is called "Billowy". Binding is hand finished and of course - my quilt label.<br />

I had stumbled on this very cool looking pattern from <a href="http://sew-sweet-blog.blogspot.com/2012/03/ultimate-knitters-tote.html" target="_blank">SewSweetUK</a> and for the first time in ages actually <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/107891785/ultimate-knitters-crochet-tote-pdf?ref=shop_home_feat_3" target="_blank">BOUGHT </a>a pattern to use for something.<br />
<br />
These are the first three I made - two in sizes directly from the pattern and the last one I made up on my own for size.<br />

These were really fun to make but did take a considerable amount of time individually. They are fully lined, two of them have interior pockets in differing dimensions. They are made with 100% cotton quilting fabrics, interfaced for strength and have cotton batting for stability. They are also stitch reinforced on the pockets for added durability. <br />
I'm hopeful that they will sell and bless people. I have a few more ideas for different style bags that I want to try in the coming weeks but first I have a quilt to finish for Christmas.<br />

This year we witnessed the marriage of our eldest child - quite a milestone by anyone's reckoning I think. Given that quilts are a traditional means of marking such milestones, it was only fitting that I should make one as a wedding gift.<br />
I struggled for months trying to figure out what to make, what colors to use, what pattern, what about backing and a quilting design? I wanted a timeless sort of quilt that would be useful and lovely for years to come and classic colors that would not go out of style.<br />
Finally I settled on a black/white/red combination of fabrics from the Black, White & Currant series from Color Principle for <a href="http://www.henryglassfabrics.com/" target="_blank">Henry Glass Fabrics</a>. I chose fabrics from series 4, 5 and 6 - a total of 14 different fabrics for the top. I purchased fabrics mostly from <a href="http://fabric.com/">Fabric.com</a> which is one of my favorite sources, but also from <a href="http://www.rivercityquilts.com/" target="_blank">River City Quilts</a> and <a href="http://www.beverlys.com/quilt-fabric.html" target="_blank">Beverly's Quilts </a>as well. <br />
Then I moved onto deciding about a pattern. This was much harder as the tendonitis issue in my hand is not 100% resolved so I needed to be sure I was not going to cripple myself in the attempt and wind up not being able to complete the quilt in time for the wedding. I finally chose a disappearing 9-patch that worked up nicely and was fairly easy in cutting so that I didn't re-aggravate the injured hand too much. <br />
On to construction:<br />

The block is fairly straight-forward to make, starting with a simple 9 patch (top), then cutting through the center in both directions (middle), finally - rotate two opposite corners and re-sew to create the sort of figure-8 design (bottom). There are several wonderful tutorials available on the web if you are interested in more step-by-step instructions.</div>

I made LOTS of blocks - working my way through, trying to evenly distribute all the various fabrics. Every 9-patch had a red center (using 1 of 3 fabrics). The blacks (5 different ones) and the white/grays (6 different ones), made up the outside patches. When cut and resewn, the blacks were all narrow bands and the white/grays were all the larges blocks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then everything went up on my design wall and my ever-helpful daughter Jessica provided invaluable assistance to rotate, re-arrange, and critique until we settles on a layout that pleased us both.</div>

Finished it covers the entire top of a queen sized bed though I didn't write down what the actual measurements were when I was done. One of these days I'll remember to take better notes of all the vital details and probably should start taking photos of all the fabrics before I start cutting.</div>

We had a dozen ladies from high school through retirement age that all drove down to the coast to enjoy a day of strolling, eating and chatting. It was a lovely day!<br />
While we were there one of the ladies (a new friend) asked me if I ever sew bags - which I promptly acknowledged - bags are fun to do generally and they tend to be quick projects that bring immediate satisfaction. Which is sometimes a welcome relief and distraction from larger projects that seem to go on and on and on! She showed me a small bag she'd purchased in Maine and asked if I might be able to make something similar (with a few tweaks) for her to give to her sister as a birthday gift. I was thrilled to have the opportunity. I found the exact match fabric to her bag on <a href="http://fabric.com/">Fabric.com</a> and ordered it right away.<br />
But, I had a BIG project that had a hard deadline - so that had to be done first before I could work on the bag. <br />
Last week I made a mock up pf a bag to work on the rusty skill of inserting zipper pockets.<br />

But it didn't seem to be quite right, so I found something else to work from and this one looks to be perfect (prayerfully!).<br />
I love the website <a href="http://so-sew-easy.com/" target="_blank">So Sew Easy</a> - her tutorials are awesome and I just love her accent! I found a pattern for a <a href="http://so-sew-easy.com/easy-cosmetics-bag-pattern/" target="_blank">Cosmetic Bag</a> that was just the ticket once I'd added some zipper pockets inside and out.<br />

I will deliver this little cutie on Friday and hope it will be just what she wanted. It was great fun to make and hopefully will bless her sister.</div>

I'm taking a step back from some big dreams to more familiar ground for now.<br />
<br />
I have decided that in spite of what 'everyone' says, I don't really care for the WordPress format and it's sometimes simply too much work for an old dog to learn a new trick - so I'm bringing my sewing blog stuff back to Blogger which I know and love and can use easily.<br />
<br />
After some time I will figure out how to add my custom domain/hosting stuff to here if I feel it's worthwhile, it may be or may not be.... it remains to be seen.<br />
<br />
For now - Applewood Quilts Etc. will be here at home in familiar territory linked with my other blog about my 'real' non-quilty life.<br />
<br />
Blessings on the journey all!<br />
<br />
