Surprise! It's me again, after a very long time. I started this blog mostly to post pictures of my customer's quilts and once I stopped doing much customer quilting it just sort of died. I have enough pictures from the last year to make a few posts, so I'll start from there.<br />
<br />
I recently quilted this Baltimore Bunnies quilt for Donna. She is making beautiful appliqué quilts for her lucky granddaughters and this is the third one I have quilted for her. <br />
<br />
<br />

She redesigned the border which I think improved the design and of course also made it harder and more complicated. The pattern is pretty darned cute to begin with!<br />

It won a ribbons at the Kansas City Regional Quilt Show and Best of Show at our Guild Show. I'm sure the bunnies will do well too.<br />

We just found out that it is a winner at Quilt Festival in Houston but we will have to wait until the award's ceremony to find out exactly what it has won.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">This is quilted mostly with 100 wt. silk thread but I did break down and use a small amount of metallic thread. I used Sparkle thread from YLI - it is a subtle twist of metallic and 100 wt. silk. There are two batts, Hobbs wool and Hobb's cotton/wool blend.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">This turned out to be a record-breaking week for us; in addition to finding out we had won something in Houston, <em>Cache of Carats</em> won Best of Show at the AQS show in Chattanooga and <em>Stars on Mars</em> won Best of Show at it's final show - Quilt Expo in Madison, WI. Wow!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've had a long vacation from quilting, an enforced vacation, because my machine was off being worked on. While I was having some new goodies installed on my machine , Brad the Innova guy discovered that one of my bearings was shot. He ended up taking the machine off with him for repair. Because of one thing and another, I ended up being without my machine for over a month. The first few weeks were fun but I began chomping at the bit to get back to work. It's now home and running better than ever. I love my new upgrades; the latest version of Lightning Stitch- my stitch regulator and the new micro handles and light. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been enjoying having my quilting time to myself although I haven't had a longarm to work on for the last few weeks. My machine is being worked on and I am looking forward to getting it back soon with some new goodies added to it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">My guild's last speaker was Lea McComas and she did a wonderful program and workshop. For her workshop, we sent her a photo of a person or pet and she prepared a pattern to work from. I'm a huge fan of Lea and after that class have an even greater respect for her quilts. Although I am happy with my finished project, making it just about finished me!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Just look at this pattern - all those itsy bitsy little pieces to cut out! </span><span style="font-family: "verdana";">Aaaack!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I went to an auction a week ago with a nice assortment of antiques including a collection of vintage toy sewing machines. I hadn't planned on bidding on any of them but they were going for a song so I bought this cute little red one for my studio.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">At the auction I was struck by the fact that the audience was 99% my age and older. No wonder prices seemed low; how many sets of china and pieces of nice old furniture does one person have room for?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";"> It was a doozy because it is BIG, has some very stiff fusible interfacing (which Cecelia apologized for) and lots of satin fabric. The interfacing was only a problem because if I had to pick stitches out, the needle holes were impossible to get rid of. So, I didn't make any mistakes! Yeah, right.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My quilt guild show, Common Threads Regional Quilt Show, just ended yesterday and as one of the co-chairs of the show I am happy to have today to relax and put my feet up. Our show is every other year, thank goodness, and requires lots of work by the show committee and by many guild members volunteering during the show. The show was a success, with about 550 quilts hanging and our vendor booths sold out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We have a big hall to fill.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">My fellow show chair Cheryl and I spend a lot of time running back and forth so were allocated scooters. This is one of the best parts of being show chair as far as I'm concerned!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was Cheryl's idea to include a lounge area in the center of the show. Good idea!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She also made the 13 foot long QUILTS sign that hung above the lounge with the help of several guild members. I quilted it but who can tell what I did when it is up so high! Here is Cheryl enjoying the lounge.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The combination of Judy's precise piecing and Siriporn Hollar's beautiful quilting were amazing. I'm surprised this didn't have a ribbon hanging on it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Donna does such a beautiful job on her appliqued quilts. She is making heirloom applique quilts for her grandchildren and I did another one for her several years ago. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">This is her most recent quilt, it's a pattern by Edita Sitar and it is certainly full of applique! The SID alone took many hours to finish.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">It's been so long since I posted - since before the AQS show in Paducah. I drove there with my crazy road trip friends, Michele and Lori. They are great fun to travel with and have been going to Paducah for years, so have the trip down pat. They know the best places to stop along the way, all the best restaurants and quilt shops.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I was looking forward to the trip and to seeing my quilting partner Gail Stepanek, who also planned to attend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">AQS used to call the winners of the big awards once the judging was finished on Sunday. Gail enters our quilts and did not get a call but did receive an email saying we had won something, so we attended the awards ceremony Tuesday night expecting to hear we had won 1st, 2nd, 3rd or Honorable Mention. Our category was announced at the end and we were biting our nails by that time. They announced third - not us, then second - not us. Yay, we thought, we have won first! Then they announced first - not us! Holy Bazoly - it turns out we won one of the big awards! We won the APQS Best Longarm Workmanship Award and our quilt, <em>My Brunette Whig</em> is now part of the collection of the National Quilt Museum joining <em>Mistaken Identity</em>, our quilt that won the same award in 2014. The only person that looked more shocked than us was Marilyn Badger when she won Best of Show - she hadn't received an email at all.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">I designed the border for her and love how this quilt turned out! Quilting it was fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> After receiving several questions about this quilt I decided I had better include a few more details about the quilting. I wanted to use trapunto on this quilt, the cut-away kind of trapunto, not just stacking two batts. Because it is extremely time-consuming it's not a technique I usually do on customer quilts. Tammy agreed to be the oneto do all the trimming away of excess batting - a process that takes many,many hours of careful snipping. To me, it is well worth the effort because you end up with well defined quilting and a quilt that is still soft and drapes well. I do use double batts for show quilts but you end up with a stiff, heavy quilt that works better on a wall than on a bed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I marked this quilt with a blue washable marker, tracing the stems, curvy things and dots so that they would be exact. To remove the marker and the soluble thread, this quilt had to be washed and blocked.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The members of my small quilting group were feeling uninspired and down in the winter doldrums so we decided to do a monthly color challenge. Each month we choose a color combo and have to finish a small quilt by the next month using those colors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Our first challenge was to use only neutrals with a small accent of color. We have to come up with our own design - no patterns allowed!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">This year, my second wholecloth won Best of Show at the Dallas Quilt Show. I worked on this quilt in the months following Peter's death and it kept me busy during that difficult time. I thought a lot about him as I worked on it which is why the quilt is called 'Remembrance'. I know he would have been proud of that big </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is Judy's scrappy Dresden plate quilt - she plans to use it on her bed and didn't want it heavily quilted. Usually I do SID on a custom quilt but because this is a large quilt it would have added a lot to the price. Judy decided to have me do custom without SID. I think it worked well, with the wool batt the quilt looks warm and puffy and will make a great bed quilt. Not every quilt needs to be quilted to death.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Speaking of quilted to death, I think I have never posted pictures of the latest show quilt Gail Stepanek and I finished. I wanted to wait until it had been in a show and then forgot about it. This is <em>Cache of Carats</em>, so named because Gail hand pieced the entire quilt from diamonds. When she first started sending pictures of it to me as she worked on it I was stumped on how to quilt it. For one thing it is hand pieced and all the seams are pressed open which rules out any SID. It is also asymmetrical and I'm so used to nice symmetrical traditional quilts that it hurt my brain coming up with a quilting design. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a rare moment of brilliance I decided to cut them out of freezer paper. That meant that when finished, I could iron them to the front of the quilt top for marking, rather than having to trace through the top with a lightbox. I used about a dozen white Clover markers marking this quilt. It showed up well on the brown but the fabric in the starbursts is too dark for a blue marker to show up and almost too light for the white marker. I had to go over and over the lines to get them to show up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It took Barb five years to finish the applique on this beautiful quilt and she wanted it quilted with a traditional custom design. She wanted trapunto but didn't want to use two layers of batting, which makes for a stiff, heavy quilt. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We did cut-away trapunto which leaves the quilt with a wonderful soft drape so it still works as a bed quilt. I sewed the trapunto with soluble thread and then gave the quilt back to Barb to trim. She did a great job and managed to avoid snipping a hole in the top - that's the danger with this kind of machine trapunto. It was worth it in the end although it meant the quilt had to be washed and blocked to remove the soluble thread and blue marker. That caused some worry for Barb because despite prewashing her fabrics three times and going to great lengths to prepare them, she had some bleeding from the pink and red fabrics. Luckily, washing with Synthrapol took care of it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Barb has a collection of patterns which came to her through her family. This quilt was designed by a woman that lived in Kansas City in the 1930's at the same time that quilters like Rose Kretsinger and Charlotte Whitehill in Emporia, KS were famous for their applique designs. The patterns are hand drafted and hand colored - a real treasure for Barb, who does wonderful applique. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">I'm doing a countdown of quilts for customers - this leaves ten to go before I 'retire' from customer quilting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">My guild, Prairie Quilt Guild in Wichita had a wonderful program yesterday. I'm the program chair this year but traditionally the January program is planned by the workshop chair and has always been mini workshops. Tammy, the workshops chair and I both thought the mini workshop idea had gotten old and stale. It's awkward to present to our large guild of around 700 members and hard to find presenters from within the guild year after year. Tammy had the great idea of asking guild members to bring their own vintage and antique quilts that had a story - quilts that had been handed down in their family or made by friends and relatives. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">It turned out to be a wonderful program with beautiful quilts and heartwarming stories. I hope our guild repeats the program in the future. Here are a few of the quilts that especially appealed to me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";"> I twisted Cathy's arm so she would bring this quilt which I had seen in her home. This is a family heirloom from around 1850 and is in beautiful condition. She also brought several embroidered samplers from around 1840 made by the same family member. She is so lucky to have these treasures and I know she appreciates them.</span><br />

I started my blog so I could post my customer's quilts for them to see. I'm now trying to stop my customer quilting to have more time for my own quilts. Also, I am co-chair of Prairie Quilt Guild's huge biennial quilt show, <a href="http://wichitaquiltshow.com/">Common Threads Regional Quilt Show</a>, to be held next June 16 - 18 and I know that will suck up more and more of my time as the show gets closer. My plan is to finish the quilts I have committed to and will then stop doing customer quilting altogether. I read that many longarmers burn out after ten years of quilting so I am right on schedule. I'll miss working with all my wonderful customers but I'm really looking forward to having time for my own quilts!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I went to Houston for Quilt Festival planning to see my quilting partner Gail Stepanek but she had to cancel her plans at the last minute - darn! My sister Kathy made it to the show so I had company after all. Gail and I had two quilts there and we are happy that <em>My Brunette Whig</em> won a third place ribbon. Shopping is always fun there and I made a big purchase - a pair of <a href="http://www.craftoptics.com/">CraftOptics</a> glasses which are amazing! Since I love lots of close quilting and detail they are going to be very useful.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Every two years my guild, Prairie Quilt Guild holds a quilt room tour, featuring 5 or 6 quilt rooms or studios belonging to guild members.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gail Stepanek and I were asked to make a contribution to the IQA Celebrity Auction which will be held during Quilt Festival this fall. Gail made a block using her own pattern from our quilt <em>Stars on Mars</em> and I tried to quilt it in the same style. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I quilted another wallhanging for Margo, it's from Eleanor Burns' book <em>Quilts from El's Kitchen</em>. I have quilted the large version of this as well but I think the small version is my favorite - it's really cute!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">The current Prairie Quilt Guild board finished their term this month and traditionally, the board members make a quilt for the outgoing president. This is the quilt that was presented to Mayleen Vinson at our last meeting. It's a signature quilt and it uses many different Kaffe Fassett fabrics.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I am serving as our guild quilt show co-chair along with fellow guild member Cheryl Nordstedt. We have had several planning meetings together and I always request that we meet at her house, for two reasons. Her house is always clean and I get to see her cat Toby. I have written about him before in my blog but just have to include this picture of Cheryl holding him. It's hard to describe how huge and wonderful he is and this picture shows it so well. He is so big he looks like this picture has been photoshopped!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">It's hard to find a thread color for these Japanese taupe/browns. Brown thread looks too brown, grey thread looks too grey. I finally found the perfect mucky greyish brown from Superior Masterpiece - #181 called Nightscape. Masterpiece is 50w cotton, not a thread I would use on a bed quilt but for a wall hanging it works fine.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">This is Judy's Christmas quilt. The center tree applique is from a pattern and the smaller appliques she found at copyright free sites online but the setting is hers. All that piecing! She was very ambitious and also had me quilt two matching pillow shams and two matching window treatments. She will have a very Christmassy bedroom this year!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I will be the speaker for my guild, Prairie Quilt Guild this September and will be doing a workshop on machine trapunto. I had to come up with a project for the class and this is what I ended up with. It's really a technique class, not a class to produce a finished masterpiece but I had to make the sample look presentable.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">A few weeks ago I drove down to Oklahoma City for the Central Oklahoma Quilters Guild Show. It was a good show with lots of quilts and vendors. They have a great location; a huge building at the OK State Fairgrounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I took pictures of some of the quilts that caught my eye. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This is <em>Night Blooms</em> by Linda Rinehard and it won Best of Show. It's made from a Pearl Pereira pattern and she quilted it herself on a longarm. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">This is <em>Bertie's Whole Year</em> by Jeri-Alynn McGee with no information about the pattern. That is one criticism I have about the show, I do think it is important to identify the pattern designers on the hang tags. </span><br />

What a great show! We were lucky to get there early enough to find a parking spot, by the time the show opened at 10 am the lot was full.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The convention hall was packed with vendors and quilts. I liked that the supporting guilds from the KC area all had booths and were selling their own opportunity quilt tickets and handmade items. This was my favorite opportunity quilt, designed by a member of the Blue Valley Quilters Guild and made by guild members. I bought tickets and hope I win!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I didn't get pictures at the show - it was so crowded with happy quilters and I was too intent on my shopping.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I visited Material Girls Quilt Shop in Wichita yesterday. Shop owners Jan and Jo always have beautiful shop samples displayed and have several local longarm quilters do the quilting for them. Not just basic quilting - but really gorgeous custom quilting like this one quilted by my friend Siriporn Hollar. Isn't this amazing creative freehand quilting?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's amazing to me that most customers hand over their tops and tell me, 'Do whatever you think looks best'. Very few give me any kind of specific instructions. When Merilyn gave me her cute embroidered top she knew what she wanted and what she didn't want. I know it is a compliment that my customers trust me but I like a customer that knows what she wants!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Trudy has made a series of these fused applique flowers, these are the second duo I have quilted for her. She designed them herself, inspired by the work of Susan Carlson.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Since she wanted all four quilts to be quilted in the same way, I made a template for the border frame and marked each one with chalk. I quilted the borders first so the chalk wouldn't rub off before I got to them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used wool batting and all the applique is nice and puffy - like little stuffed animals.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is Kelly's quilt; she chose the fabrics and all the blocks were made by different people. That means that some of the blocks are really well pieced and some of them... are not well pieced. That's what always </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">happens in a group quilt!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do love the fabrics Kelly chose - anything with polka dots and I'm on board. When I think back on all my own quilts, I think they all have a polka dot fabric in them somewhere, except for the wholecloth quilts.</span><br />
