I'm adding 2 inch strips to the top and bottom of all the letters, hoping that will make it easier to get them all relatively straight and readable. After that, I'll start sewing them together. If anyone has any tips for me on this, I'd love to hear them!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaxYEGWIJaSc_0ldOqAYYisEJVvfL2hqgJ8To78Pt0rFxoveQWlezxZi4T-Es4IyM4Kng-Rx_IkU5OhVQjIDQjgt632yu6DM-T78tQvCL0_dLVOcs0GRIR8omG5_W6uPIfJIufGAHAU6Wb/s1600-h/letters+done+2-13-09.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303576796113349298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 394px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaxYEGWIJaSc_0ldOqAYYisEJVvfL2hqgJ8To78Pt0rFxoveQWlezxZi4T-Es4IyM4Kng-Rx_IkU5OhVQjIDQjgt632yu6DM-T78tQvCL0_dLVOcs0GRIR8omG5_W6uPIfJIufGAHAU6Wb/s400/letters+done+2-13-09.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is the saying I'll be using on my project. Some of these letters I left purposely tall so that I could cut them down to the height I needed them. I think that sizing the letters is kinda hard. They came out bigger than I was expecting. But, I've learned a lot and next time I do this, it will probably be easier. It's been such a help to see how everyone else has put the letters together, and probably the most help for me was Brenda's (Scraps and Strings blog) <a href="http://scrapsandstrings.blogspot.com/2009/01/strip-pieced-letters.html">tutorial on strip-pieced letters</a>.

Bloom. I struggled with the quilting and have ripped it out twice, but that's ok. First I tried free motion flowers (really took away from the composition of the piece), then I tried echo quilting. Very honestly I got lost in the echoes and couldn't fill the white space in a way that added to the piece. I did this with a setting on my mom's machine. It required a bit of ripping too, but once I got the hang of it, it went pretty well. I love the texture that it provides without distracting from the nifty free piecing.<br /><br />The sign of a great class and a great teacher is when you actually learn something. I did. Thanks Tonya and thanks classmates!

I guess it was easier to put off something for ME.<br /><br />I've had the "plan" almost from the start, but yesterday was the first day I actually played with fabric. (I <i>know</i>! How sad is that??)<br /><br />I started by counting how many of what letters I needed:<br /><center><a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/fiberbabble/Quilting/BOM/wonkylist.jpg"><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/fiberbabble/Quilting/BOM/wonkylist.jpg" width="240" height="106"></a></center><br /><br />Then I drew out the approximate shape of the letters I wanted/needed so there would be some sort of map (however crude) when I began cutting and sewing. I dug through my stacks of scraps cut into strips. I have a piece of print fabric I'm using as the color palette, so from my scraps I found blacks and greens and a cranberry. There's room for a federal blue and coffee brown, too, but I didn't have those scraps.<br /><br />So, starting with "a", I began piecing. The first letter took some thought, but I referred to my map and <i>didn't think too much</i> (that's a biggie with me!). I used <b>scissors, not a rotary cutter</b> just so that I could stay away from the temptation to measure everything out to some sort of specifications. I did use the rotary cutter afterward to square up the block.<br /><a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/fiberbabble/Quilting/BOM/wonky1.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/fiberbabble/Quilting/BOM/wonky1.jpg" width="242" height="176" align="left" hspace="10"></a>After the first block, I was able to chain piece the remaining a's. Each block is a little different and definitely an individual learning experience. I'm off to make 6 "e" blocks this afternoon, but I'm sure I'll go even farther than that. These are FUN!<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div><br /><a href="http://www.fiberbabble.com"><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/fiberbabble/Buttons%20and%20Icons/signature1.jpg" align="right"></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767852649348104195.post-12988532775360939512009-01-15T07:30:00.001-08:002009-01-15T07:35:33.293-08:002nd block...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIg6xvevTVopfWhuHmOsFBkftkPjcw-zXQb6cc5A6_XA0Lz8DrTq1uPJhYPXv4lc5kp2Nok5qiTfm_HpitZtT0fTZ-K1M41lVnkmbw4EfyawoUpp0BeaZxDE0Gh_MyXfxZDskXvx8bpew/s1600-h/showing+2nd+block+made+hot+house.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIg6xvevTVopfWhuHmOsFBkftkPjcw-zXQb6cc5A6_XA0Lz8DrTq1uPJhYPXv4lc5kp2Nok5qiTfm_HpitZtT0fTZ-K1M41lVnkmbw4EfyawoUpp0BeaZxDE0Gh_MyXfxZDskXvx8bpew/s320/showing+2nd+block+made+hot+house.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291543579409930050" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);">I posted this on my blog but not here.

I added more to the opening as Tonya suggested to make it easier to piece in the stems.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXvbolaTIXOAPM6ASzNmSAbbsC2JuDFYkk2Gda1yCJjH6hLtbaigKJSz1n_Ujd7vDHYtXQAMJU36R3MWkxdl1QG3DV9jHGtHssmn7n_UppbOMzzBIdVtONFazSOJCtbMkKt2pRFjETMSbu/s1600-h/DSC06095.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXvbolaTIXOAPM6ASzNmSAbbsC2JuDFYkk2Gda1yCJjH6hLtbaigKJSz1n_Ujd7vDHYtXQAMJU36R3MWkxdl1QG3DV9jHGtHssmn7n_UppbOMzzBIdVtONFazSOJCtbMkKt2pRFjETMSbu/s400/DSC06095.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288231223440824802" border="0" /></a>Then came piecing in the flowers. Here's where I got stuck and and finally after reading Tonya's <a href="http://lazygalhousehomepantry.blogspot.com/search/label/Tonya">suggestion</a> and studying her diagram I was able to piece in the flowers and stems. I really wanted three flowers, but after hours of drawing and sewing and ripping I settled for two.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNhm8ai_gCKQY1sEQVJtxqZh_tUEETvyB53O0dvXDttjRUjzbwkHC45CzHhBMlLwlQpSkIZXvhK6bDtywdNpH8ldITD3jaxeXBiX4TOV7WIJXbe0xKeMrzKPtMYbAhOsIYEraAAP91dVJC/s1600-h/DSC06092.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNhm8ai_gCKQY1sEQVJtxqZh_tUEETvyB53O0dvXDttjRUjzbwkHC45CzHhBMlLwlQpSkIZXvhK6bDtywdNpH8ldITD3jaxeXBiX4TOV7WIJXbe0xKeMrzKPtMYbAhOsIYEraAAP91dVJC/s400/DSC06092.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288231214699153362" border="0" /></a>Then I tackled some letters. b l o o m. Can you read it? I didn't get them as "free" as I wanted. They are a bit straight for me. I think I was concentrating so hard on the piecing I forgot about making them wonkier.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb1bFJt2owyFTVQDBrSMMD_56Bc3evZxECr8bLOLSrGsy03FHyKF2B7Tw2j1tLJdCZE924Ntw6yX8oh4lsz6UYKmlv94xHVwjXAlbYgF4B31VBLbvHTwrm0hFEKrF6TAsyh5jm3v2C8mbz/s1600-h/DSC06093.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb1bFJt2owyFTVQDBrSMMD_56Bc3evZxECr8bLOLSrGsy03FHyKF2B7Tw2j1tLJdCZE924Ntw6yX8oh4lsz6UYKmlv94xHVwjXAlbYgF4B31VBLbvHTwrm0hFEKrF6TAsyh5jm3v2C8mbz/s400/DSC06093.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288231209858444738" border="0" /></a>So here it is. "bloom". It's 19" x 38". Definitely bigger than I was planning. Well, I didn't REALLY have a plan. I do think it's fun and whimsical and will make a nice wall hanging. My only disappointment is that the background fabric is just cheap, thin, muslin. I started this as an experiment, never thinking it would be a piece I would love. The backing will be Alexander Henry's beach stripe and I haven't chosen a binding yet. Maybe polka dots?<br /><br />The question I have for you is how would you quilt this? I really don't want to mess it up. Any ideas would be appreciated. It's been fun catching up on all your projects. Lots of very cool stuff! I'll look for your ideas and hopefully be back soon with a finish.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixnNcEIq9cMMT8G51yOsoZpheqhEy4WxBFMoskih-xk3hOs8Eha6rQMKWaxkgJGg13btrXaghOZq1iIMvmQCoOU_KpYDxgQL0OCo6kDo79n2o5vhn6bOGzATOw77R8Rce8Wk5BsTQpGsyX/s1600-h/DSC06091.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixnNcEIq9cMMT8G51yOsoZpheqhEy4WxBFMoskih-xk3hOs8Eha6rQMKWaxkgJGg13btrXaghOZq1iIMvmQCoOU_KpYDxgQL0OCo6kDo79n2o5vhn6bOGzATOw77R8Rce8Wk5BsTQpGsyX/s400/DSC06091.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288231202908895026" border="0" /></a>jacquiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07362229673390519468noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767852649348104195.post-6609570111489484032009-01-06T04:25:00.000-08:002009-01-06T08:09:11.464-08:00Proceeding at a snail's pace (Updated)I'm quilting about 3 quilts at the same time, depending on my mood, but I thought I'd let you see what I did on my houses quilt yesterday.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixo3uUXfKwhRGxiNsp-ttHtsEiXZg_NAEEnL3Ttq0Bqcr30DY-qCVjF25guW_oAbil8_9p1njTZP2mY7Bz1ZxoAgMbvErJanaNxANBJusHTBiQtPD1ASInoJr47CnTw1qEXFtnQDQKAl4/s1600-h/HPIM5579.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixo3uUXfKwhRGxiNsp-ttHtsEiXZg_NAEEnL3Ttq0Bqcr30DY-qCVjF25guW_oAbil8_9p1njTZP2mY7Bz1ZxoAgMbvErJanaNxANBJusHTBiQtPD1ASInoJr47CnTw1qEXFtnQDQKAl4/s320/HPIM5579.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288212674586043906" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwm3bagDqbZ5bXc5N7AU0_Oo7ucGWmIrQXmhziZE0y5ZAuP4AbulkyncvO3NzaFv7UqYgVOSIH886lPfZ698IDtualrtpBbAqlTCKBNhKUfEWhVZxvERizyE7UAn0xdCC2dPX_anHXEQ0/s1600-h/HPIM5578.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwm3bagDqbZ5bXc5N7AU0_Oo7ucGWmIrQXmhziZE0y5ZAuP4AbulkyncvO3NzaFv7UqYgVOSIH886lPfZ698IDtualrtpBbAqlTCKBNhKUfEWhVZxvERizyE7UAn0xdCC2dPX_anHXEQ0/s320/HPIM5578.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288212680492451362" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Wooo hooo - I think someone's quilting is getting better!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Is that better?

It's been my first attempt at free piecing and wonky letters and was great fun to do. I've hand quilted it using big embroidery stitches and perle cotton and although it looks a bit wonky in the photograph I'm convincing myself that it's just because it's been folded up for a while! I've got a few other things to get on with now, but will certainly make another quilt in this style in due course - there's still lots of blank wall space to be filled!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767852649348104195.post-64953437127930431022008-12-24T03:05:00.000-08:002008-12-24T03:10:14.818-08:00i am such a poop<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBdUcxsm6LstGEeW9jkJZXOfNn6eZhSJI6i7wrUkfdILcqv9WEtkqbAru_sK8Km6GkLITLMMT8-5Ge3081KdTxCW_RVZFYkMqOw2wyaLYsouxqKGFV_e2A_NBuahsXoggIHPazWVGJlzE/s1600-h/dancing+houses.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 281px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBdUcxsm6LstGEeW9jkJZXOfNn6eZhSJI6i7wrUkfdILcqv9WEtkqbAru_sK8Km6GkLITLMMT8-5Ge3081KdTxCW_RVZFYkMqOw2wyaLYsouxqKGFV_e2A_NBuahsXoggIHPazWVGJlzE/s400/dancing+houses.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283311886984994210" border="0" /></a><br />sorry for the long gap. first my machine broke and then i got so busy i let this project go. but i have a sketch and some time off so i will be back after the holidays with something to show.<br />peace.judehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08093892425910458016noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767852649348104195.post-3876957673772032802008-12-14T17:36:00.001-08:002008-12-14T17:40:10.769-08:00kick off to word houses<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQzGB9uSxRGzyR1PMy85RQM2mfgf-ITLnSCvflnjJyq3Y2ZOIAAGO_aThxnvHJvrOD0sIZF7Qz5G45FfPRSsYJ7HVeP8dqZViXSmgoDn2Oq6GHBXIDouuSgl6WnibUXKXmB88HArMQQU4/s1600-h/fun+house+block+dec+08.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQzGB9uSxRGzyR1PMy85RQM2mfgf-ITLnSCvflnjJyq3Y2ZOIAAGO_aThxnvHJvrOD0sIZF7Qz5G45FfPRSsYJ7HVeP8dqZViXSmgoDn2Oq6GHBXIDouuSgl6WnibUXKXmB88HArMQQU4/s320/fun+house+block+dec+08.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279824805638937170" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);">here is my start for this class...at long last!

I fell in love with the houses last <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nite</span> when I saw them for the first time and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">tonite</span> I just played around with some fabric (can you tell I like black and white?) and made these little houses but I can see where these may not be good right now but the making of the houses could become very <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">addictive</span>!! Could be worse things to be addicted to. Again, thanks for the invite and I can't wait to read your posts and see all of the creative things.
