And I hope to get into the sewing room more often!I have so many projects in my mind and will hopefully get to some of them even while getting my house ready to sell in the Spring. The first room I packed up and downsized was the sewing room, so that will be a challenge. But I have enough to keep me busy for a while.<br />

I wanted to do a large piece of foiled fabric to possibly be made into a jacket. The piece is about 60x100. Click on pics to see larger.</div>

I LOVE FOIL!!! Thank you Jane Dunnewold for introducing me to this a number of years ago. She made a piece of fabric like this that I was lucky enough to purchase. Ever since, I've wanted to make one myself. The process is fascinating and sooooo exciting!</div>

I'm not positive what the fabric is...it may be a rayon blend. It drapes beautifully and doesn't wrinkle much. I really should start marking all my purchases.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The slight nap on this fabric also made for interesting results....can't wait to do more, and learn more.</div>

First things first though...The reality of retirement, downsizing and relocation is getting ever closer. I have to find new homes for some of my favorite things.<br />
<br />
So last night I put my fabulous Jane Dunnewold Quilt (1996) up on ebay.<br />

I have a funny need to make something....then change it a bit and make another....add another process and make another...and on and on until I find something uniquely mine. I learned so many new processes over the years from myriad teachers....I need to put them into my work. Time gets in the way and I lose interest fairly easily....but at least I'm making things that can be sold or gifted....so I endure.<br />
<br />
I'm enjoying the pillows....even finding time during my busiest work time of the year....so I started pillow #3 the other day. <br />
<br />

The fabric is a linen from Miss Matatabi on etsy...also wanted to get more but not available. It is a slightly heavier weight so worked nicely into a pillow.<br />

Just received fabric for #4 from Miss Matatabi....couldn't resist...three of my favorite things....turquoise, crosses and metallics. Yum!<br />

This piece of Japanese dobby fabric was from Miss Matatabi on etsy. I went back to get more and it was gone.<br />

I didn't put the binding around the edge...mostly because I just forgot and sewed right sides together! I like it though. Love the turquoise. The front is layered with batting and a muslin and quilted.<br />

I needed to embellish a bit so I sewed on some delica beads to resemble a few snow flakes falling on the trees. They catch the light without being so large that you would feel them when leaning back on the pillow.<br />

I saw this pattern in Quilting Arts Gifts Holiday 2013-14 and decided to give a try. I have many pillow forms, and need to use them. I'm really pleased with the outcome and will make many more with this pattern, maybe using different words, color combos or themes. Who knows....<br />

Anyway...I made this bag with a piece of cloth that was used as a dropcloth on my table during one of the classes I had taken in the last few years. I would do practice stamping and discharge and dyeing on it and usually loved these pieces more than the ones I was working on. So I made many of them.<br />
<br />

And decided it was time to cut one up and make a bag for myself for a trip. It has an iron-on fleece on each piece...outside and lining....and is then quilted. So it has nice weight and body.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I also decided to make a small companion piece, and added an iron-on crystal and stud transfer of a pair of sunglasses....inspired by my trip. <br />

I wasn't willing to cut into more special fabric for the inside, so I pulled out some old favorite polka dots in bright colors. <br />

As a side note....it's amazing (and wonderful) that I now feel an urge to sew more since getting a clean bill of health....been a tough year. Feeling grateful and blessed.<br />

The last of my finishes last week is this very colorful piece that hung on my design wall for a couple years, I think, in various degrees of done. I just enjoyed looking at the explosion of colors when I entered the room....so never hurried to complete.<br />

LOVE these colors.<br />

And since I loved the quilting pattern on the previous quilt so much I repeated it on this one. Eileen from Designing Quilts does a really nice job on the quilting.<br />

Last year I sent three pieces to be quilted by Designing Quilts....beautiful job as usual...and then they sat for the past year. I machine sew all my bindings so it's a fairly fast process....just didn't feel like doing any sewing.<br />
<br />

<br />
So last week I decided it was time...and I finished them all in a couple days. This is the first, made with fabric from Moda. Nothing fancy about the design...just love the fabrics and the quilting is so much fun.<br />

These days I am MUCH less hung-up on points and more into the fact that I have a finished piece, made with love, that someone can now wrap-up in and enjoy<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The first is a diaper bag for my niece's baby, due in June. She requested the colors and I used a favorite pattern but altered it a bit to add more pockets. I included a Disney Bear. My daughter illustrated the little book attached to the bear, and she designed the clothing. My son-in-law illustrated the larger book. Makes for a very special gift.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I can't seem to upload pics to this blog....something may have changed in the year since I've posted. I'll figure it out and post them next time. Does anyone know why this is happening?</span>Marciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08246955398323085977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674946583967499200.post-50243287331197292462013-05-07T12:26:00.000-07:002013-05-07T12:26:06.411-07:00My Latest Quilt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On one of the blogs I read I saw this stack of fat quarters....all dots...whole collection by Michael Miller fabrics...had to have it :) I made a baby quilt similar to this about 40 years ago....gave it to my cousin for her new baby...I still have the pattern cut out from McCalls Needlework and Crafts Magazine...my craft bible in those days.<br />
<br />
So when I saw all these dots, that's the first thing I thought, and immediately had to make one.

<br />This very girly quilt was made with the Girly Girl line of fabric. It will be donated to our silent auction at the beach. I'm so glad to have finished it in time.

<br />It's time again for the Family picnic and auction at our beach, which raises money for improvements to the playground and pavillion. I'm going to be donating this little girl's jacket and a couple tote bags and journals w/ quilted covers. And possibly a quilt. We'll see how much I get done.

<br />I put this together yesterday with some scrap squares I had....quilted the fabric and then cut out the jacket. It's a size 3/4 but looks larger. I need to try it on someone to get a better idea before I mark it.

<br />I have a few buttons I'm auditioning....I'll show the finished jacket later. I just love making little jackets....so satisfying in a short period of time.
