Where did I go? Not far

2011-11-20T00:14:00.000-06:00

I can not believe it has been so long since I even opened my blog. September! Where did the time go? To be quite honest, I am not sure. I know we have had the opportunity to spend time with the grandsons, we have worked on the house a bit (actually I just supervised, Mr Handsome has been the productive one), and I have tried to work on learning more about embroidery.

Have I done much sewing, not a bunch. I hope to finish a couple of patterns (pictures probably after Thanksgiving) and I have finished a small quilt, that is just about it, except for the embroidery thing.

The embroidery thing, I have named my machine the monster. It sits in the corner and growls, shows it teeth and just waits until I get close enough so it can strike. Right now I am trying very hard to learn to hoop shirts and other premade items so they don't look like the embroidery machine just did random stitches in odd spots. I am not having much luck but I will continue with my quest.

I have also been trying to list some things on Etsy and ArtFire. Not having much luck there. I promised myself that last Sunday was the absolute date of getting things listed. I did not make it. Soooo this Sunday is the new date!   The only picture I have right now is one of the 42 patch quilt-the little quilt that I have finished. There will be more, hopefully tomorrow. (I hope, I hope, I hope!!!)
Thanks for listening and there will be more coming. There has to be, I am not happy being this unproductive.
Talk to you soon,

Jan

Oh just to let you know that the web place for Etsy is
http://www.etsy.com/shop/djandcocreations The shelves are a bit empty but that won't last long.

Not stitching but fun, more later.

Not as planned

2011-08-27T23:00:00.002-05:00

Have you ever had a project that just did not go as planned. Sometime ago I drew what I thought was a cute quilt design. It looked like a ribbon was weaving through out the blocks, I would call it woven ribbons. After finishing the design, printing out the picture and listing the items needed to be cut I was off to find a fun fabric. There was a tropical line out that I liked, I thought "how fun, tropical ribbons", but it just did not happen.
I cut, pieced and behold, ? It did not translate from paper to fabric. So I thought, just finish it.

Well I put it away and forgot about it for a couple of years until I was cleaning out and there it was-the quilt that did not work out. It just needed borders, quilting and binding, then this sad little tale would end. Today I added boarders, hopefully soon I will quilt and bind it, then it will be time to move on.
Goodbye little Not So Woven Ribbon-Woven Ribbon Quilt.

On to other adventures!

Where does time go!

2011-08-10T18:00:00.000-05:00

O.K. I have heard that it has been a loooooong time since we visited! You ask where have I been? Well, I have been just sort of here. Kind of just hanging around.Well those days are over. It is time to move forward, no more just being.
There is news. I am again sewing and quilting etc. There are pictures, there are stories, there will be tutorials! So to start here are a couple of pictures from the "Lab". They are simple blankets, easy to make and no quilting required. I am finishing up the instructions so hopefully you will see how they are made soon.
Better get back at it. Hope to talk to you soon.

You Go Girl Post

2011-02-23T21:20:00.001-06:00

There are times when a blog post really makes me laugh. Today I read the You Go Girl Blog and it made me laugh, mostly because she actually admits that she is a wonderful mom who might have not always been akin to a saintly mum. Yes it made me laugh. This post also brought me back to days gone by. Melting crayons between wax paper. I loved to do that. Oh the colors!

Well Martha Stewart has a bit of a tutorial on how to create with crayons. I think maybe a quilt in batiks that looks like crayon art. Maybe a Happy Birthday table runner. Oh I will stop because I have a log cabin quilt to finish.
Have a good day.

Art Fire.

2011-02-19T23:28:00.000-06:00

I have started a studio on Art Fire. If any of you do the Etsy thing, or something similar you might also want to check out Art Fire. They have 2 levels, the first level has no fees, that's right none, zero, zip, big 0. If you want you can do the pro level and it is just $9.95 per month. Flat fee, no listing fees etc.

This is the link to my blog on Art Fire. http://www.artfire.com/users/jannys/blog . I know there is still a lot of personal ground to cover, places like Etsy and Art Fire are not instant selling machines, but it is a place to list without setting up a complete web site-ecommerce thingy.
Well I am off to work on the never completed string thingy (Getting really tired of it) and on a log cabin quilt. I will have pictures tomorrow because I need to get done and move on to pillows.

Before I say happy stitching to you, I wanted to tell you about a fun project I found on Moda Bake Shop. It is dish towels with a bit of fabric and rick rack. That is it! The instructions do not tell you but they use a Jelly Roll strip, that is just a strip that is 2 1/2" by the width of the fabric.

Here is what it looks like and I will list a link for the instructions. http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/08/jelly-towels.html

Happy Stitching to you, until we meet again.

New Things are Happening

2011-02-13T22:10:00.000-06:00

There are new things happening around here. So much news, but it will have to wait. I will be back soon. Yes I am working on the string quilt pattern that I have promised so long ago. I am also working on some tutorials and fun ideas. Talk to you soon.

Just thinking

2011-01-13T11:04:00.004-06:00

Well it has been a loooong time again. I know we all have busy lives, but sometimes life seems to pull us out of whack a bit. That is where I am now. A bit out of whack, yet all is well.
We have been busy with our little super hero-1 year old grandson-and his new baby brothers. Our son and daughter in law's babies were born November 3rd and at that time were very premature, so here we go into the world of the NICU and premature babies. Now they are going great. They are still being cared for in the hospital but will head home soon and they are truly little miracles!
So now I must say it is time for a new year and I am really ready. My New Years resolutions are simple. (Background? I usually don't make New Years resolutions or eat black eyed peas, but this year I thought I would go for the resolutions, can't do black eyed peas.) There are 3 resolutions:
#3. Make bread (the baked kind)
#2 Become proficient in machine embroidery
#1 Play as hard as humanly possible.
That's it! I will keep you posted.

On to other stitchingly things.
There is a new contest:
It is called the "Jelly Roll 'Dream' Challenge", please note I am not in anyway pushing or even suggesting that anyone do this competition. I am thinking maybe Thready should start a Precut challenge, but there would not be an entry fee! If you decide to do the challenge please read the "Terms and Conditions" they are very-well enlightening. You can see them here: http://www.jellyrollquilters.com/page/6312875:Page:85 So I guess I am "just saying" it is out there if you are interested.

There is also a designer sharing thing called "Block-a-Palooza", lots of designers, good ideas (and no entry fee-o.k. that kind of bothered me a bit) I will post more about the palooza by the weekend.

It looks hard, but it is one of those step by step things!

Well I am off to work on one of my resolutions. Talk to you VERY soon

Jan

P.S. Do you remember the string quilt? Well I will get back to it today or tomorrow. I have not left you out in the cold, but when the world went "tilt" the string thing got pushed to the bottom of the stack.

It has been a loooong time since we talked

2010-10-27T20:40:00.001-05:00

Wow, it has been a long time since we visited. All is well now, but we have had some adventures. My daughter-in-law and son are expecting twin boys and the first week of October things got a bit bumpy. She was sent to Houston TX for an emergency procedure and is currently taking it very easy. As of Monday all is well.
The good news, I have had the opportunity to spend some very special time with my grandson, their 1 year old, Gavin, (Mr Gav as his G-pa and I call him). He is a wonderful, inquisitive 1 year old. I believe grand kids keep us young because they keep us busy!
Then there was a trip to the Georgia coast for Wedding, St Simon Island to be exact. It was gorgeous.

This is St Simon, on the beach at night.

Know that things have settled down it is back to the string quilt! Yes I have made a bit of progress. I have a picture of one of the blocks. Hopefully within the next week I can have it all together and hopefully there will be more pictures.

The instructions for cutting and piecing will follow within the same time frame or sooner. (I need a lap top to take with me when I go to Mr. Gav's house so I can do a bit of posting their, but that will have to wait for now.)
Talk to you soon!

2010-09-13T21:42:00.000-05:00

I sure had hoped to have my string quilt finished. I must say that life has been taking me away and the sewing process has slowed down. What have I been up to? Went to see my sister for a few days (Awesome) got to baby sit my Grandson! Demolished the fireplace-doing remodel work on the house with my DH. Had other important stuff to take care of, now it is time to sew-Yahooie!

I have my strip sets sewn and will press them tonight. I will have PICTURES by Thursday and layout diagrams next week. Yes I will have pictures, we finally decided on a camera and it is here! Now how to turn it on? (Oh bother)

Sewing the Strips Together

2010-08-21T09:46:00.007-05:00

PI rating of 4
Well, still no camera, but I thought you might like to start sewing the strips together so I have a couple of line drawing to help.
I am making my quilt from small pieces so I needed to first make a strip of fabric and I did this by sewing the pieces into strips. I am working with 1 1/2" strips and so I wanted to have a my strips a minimum of 28" long but I would actually like them to be at least 35" long. If you are using 2" strips make the strips at least 33" but you can increase the length of the strips to 41" if you would prefer. These lengths allow for a bit of trimming. The example of the pieces sewn into strips is below.

If you have strips cut from the full width of the fabric skip the step above and go right to sewing the strip sets together-see next paragraph. If you want to put lace or trims in the quilt you can add them to the strips before they are sewn into the strip sets.

Sew the strips into strip sets. If using 1 1/2" strips sew 6 strips together to make a strip set, (see picture below). If using 2" strips to make the strip set follow the example below but use 5 strips instead of 6 strips.
(If needed click on the image to get a better view)

Hopfully soon there will be "real" pictures, but until then, it is time to have fun and sew some strips!

2010-08-09T20:22:00.002-05:00

Before we begin, I must tell you a sad but true story. As I began working on this project I had hoped to take pictures, add humor, make this soooo fun, well as Murphy would have it the Camera shot it's last. So for now I must rely on my scanner and I could not put Hershey Kisses or a dump truck on the scanner. There is a bit of hope though, Mr Handsome is on the case. If the camera can be fixed he can do it. If not-well does anyone have advice on what kind of camera to get?

Supplies for “Thready Quilt Along

Deciding which fabrics to use can be a bit daunting for a quilt like this, but using several fabrics only adds to the charm of this quilt. Trims, selvages, the good parts of warn clothing or other than quilting cottons can also be incorporated so feel free to mix it up a bit. It is helpful if the fabrics are all of similar weight and cleaning methods, if you want to use a special fabric that is light weight or stretchy think about fusing interfacing to the back of the fabric before cutting. I would not use a fabric that is extra heavy-save those for other projects.

Perspective Improvers: (referred to as PI within the directions)

What are PI’s? Anything that helps you get through the tough times and they also help qualify what might be difficult. (Chocolate Kisses and Hugs or Animal Crackers are great PI’s.) PI's are rated from 1-easy-no stress to 4-yikes could be tough So start now with a PI of 1 just to get the hang of it.

Block fabric: Got fabric you don't like, that is beyond its youth, ugly? Now is the time to use it!

Fabric amounts for the blocks are only estimates, there are many variables that can affect the amount of fabric needed, but additional fabric can be added as the strip sets are made.

5 to 5 ½ yards should be enough. This is about 2 grocery sacks full of cut strips (not packed down) the amount needed depends on the scraps and the width of the strips cut for the blocks.

Sashing strips and borders:
4 yards.
A note about sashing and borders for this project; Normally I collect all the fabric I need for each project but for this one I would wait to see what the blocks look like then pick out my sashing and boarders

Other supplies:
Cozy Quilt Strip tube ruler or other ruler to cut triangles. You won’t need this for a couple more weeks.
Normal rotary cutting and sewing supplies

Helpful supplies:
Spray starch
June Taylor Shape cut-this is helpful if you are cutting larger pieces of fabric such as ¼ yards or fat quarters but it is not a necessity. This cutting tool lets you cut fabric strips quickly, but a regular ruler also works just fine.

Cutting Instructions for “Thready Quilt Along”
Cutting Decisions (2 PI):

Instructions for this quilt will be primarily based on 1 ½” by the width of the fabric strips, this will ultimately make a 12” finished square, but you don’t have to cut them 1 ½”, if you want to sew fewer strips and make larger blocks cut the strips 2”, you will end up with a block that is 15” finished square. ****Note the Cozy Quilt Strip tube ruler will work only for cutting pieces up to 13 1/2” length so we will have to explore other rulers for bigger blocks.

You can also have a “string” quilt and sew strip sets with strips that are of varying widths. The block can be any size you would like, but much more than 15” and it looks chunky, my favorite size for a string block is somewhere between 9” to 12” finished.

Cutting Strips: (1PI):
O.K. hopefully you have made the decision about what size you want to cut your strips. So start cutting and use up all those fabrics pieces that are just too good to throw away and those wonderful cotton shirts with spaghetti stains!

Cut your fabric strips the desired size by the width of your fabric and place them in a grocery bag. Don't cut them the size of your blocks we will do that later. If your strips are shorter than the desired block, two pieces can be sewn together to make a longer strip (We will explore this in the next set of instructions.)

When done cutting have 1PI and rest up for next week because the strips are going to fly!

Talk to you soon,
Thready

"Thready Quilt Along"

2010-08-05T08:22:00.003-05:00

Sometimes I need a bit of a push to get going with the next project. I always seem to be thinking about what I might do next but need help moving on.
Well I got my push so today we are announcing the "Thready Quilt Along". We will be making a stringy type quilt with alternate block settings etc. I will post the supply list by Monday 8/9/10, so gather up those bits and pieces, and don't forget to get a bag of your favorite chocolates. (Although our quilt is different, this picture from Pottery Barn has the feel we are going for.)

Quilts from the Past

2010-07-17T00:41:00.002-05:00

My niece is working on a denim quilt for a camping trip she will be taking with her family so that prompted me to get out a "special" quilt I made for Mr Handsome a loooooooong time a go. It is not fancy, but we have used it on many picnics and I find it makes me smile when we get it out. So here are pictures of my old friend, and of my cat Camie, she loves laying on my quilts.

Process Pledge

2010-06-20T13:51:00.000-05:00

Thready has taken the process pledge. I believe this is a good thing because I want to show what I am doing, but don't because I think the project needs to be finished. Well now I am giving myself permission to post about what I am doing as I do it! OH HAPPY DAY!

I, Thready, pledge to talk more about my processes, even when I can’t quite put them in the in words or be sure I’m being totally clear. I’m going to put my thinking and my gut feelings out there.

What Sign?

2010-06-11T10:28:00.004-05:00

We have a wonderful grandson, Gavin, I would love to put his name on everything and decorate his clothes with giraffes, airplanes, alligators etc. So this grandma got an embroidery machine.

We got the machine, set it up and threaded it, installed the software and read the instructions. Now comes the hard part, turning on the machine! It seemed the software did not want to talk to the machine so the machine would not turn on (actually the machine itself turned on but the brains did not). I tired and tried last night to get something to work. The DH was in the middle of OOGN and he even stopped for a while to try to get it to work, this morning before going to work DH tried again. Then the decision was made I needed to call tech support. Well after reading to Mr tech guy all about my computer, telling him how everything was plugged in and going over what we had done Mr tech guy suggested we start from the top. Then Mr tech guy suggested I make sure the big red button was not pressed down. It was so I turned the big red button, TADA the machine's brains are now on.

Mr Tech Guy just had to point out that the machine had a red sign hanging on the big red button. I must say nowhere in the instructions, help menu or trouble shooting guide does it tell you about the big red button. I told him he had to love newbies!
Lesson learned? Sometimes the answer is right in front of you.
Now I am on to new adventures.
Have a great day!

Blogging

2010-06-09T18:56:00.002-05:00

Well I did my first every guest blog. I had the opportunity to share machine applique with the quilt community by doing a tutorial on freezer paper applique. It was interesting and fun. I did find the camera so I was able to take pictures. Here are the pictures from the blog. I think I will do a tutorial here using starch, and maybe even post an experiment or two so you can see what I have been playing with.
You can view the blog at:

Book Give Away

2010-05-14T14:22:00.002-05:00

Thready said it was time to have a give away. If you subscribe to be a follower and leave a comment to this post you will be entered. O.K. what book is Thready all excited about, it is Country Comforts by Cheryl Wall for That Patchwork Place.

About the Book:

Warm and welcoming, each quilt in this book invites quilters to let go of the “rules” and find joy in the journey. The 12 projects feature traditional blocks such as Log Cabin, Bear’s Paw, and Churn Dash, with a twist that makes them fresh and new. Choose from quilts and wall hangings, many featuring folksy appliqué for added flair. Quilters of all levels will enjoy the relaxed nature of these scrappy projects—imperfections only add to their personality and charm!

The give away will happen 5/31/10. Good luck!
Thready

What has been happening

2010-05-07T16:21:00.000-05:00

O.K. it has been quite sometime since I posted here. I must say I have not been sitting idle, well sort of not idle. I have been working on projects and trying to draw new ones. Hopefully you will see them soon.

The biggest news is cancer treatments are over!!! Yes, it is done, finished, stuck it with a fork, all of those things that signify the finish line. Now it is on to new adventures and back to being me! I am looking forward to doing 40 things at once again. I am also looking forward to getting back to normal life.

I will have pictures of the pillowcase and other things I have been working on as soon as I find the camera. We will get there.

Take care
Jan.

Crochet edging is posted

2010-03-24T21:56:00.002-05:00

The crochet edging for the pillowcases at yougogirl is posted. I know I will be making all sorts of pillowcases even thinking about adding some crochet trim to 18" square pillow covers. But first I have to replace my iron and so I can finish my pillowcase with the the ruffle. It is looking mighty cute!

We have begun

2010-03-23T12:47:00.001-05:00

I have begun to blog, an new experience for sure, but I really don't want to blog alone! I would like to have you sign up as a follower (would rather call this the friend list) and I will see how it goes.

I am putting a give-away together and will have that pictures in the new few days. The give way will happen on April 15th.

There will also be pictures and instructions for the pillowcase with a ruffle, but first I must replace my iron, it just quit, so that has delayed the finishing of my project

Looking forward to meeting you all

Fun Projects for the little ones

2010-03-21T22:17:00.000-05:00

Sweet Nursery Chic by Susan Cousineau for Krause Publications is a great book if you need ideas or projects for the little ones in your life. The book offers such cute designs and they are easy and fast!
One tip, use fusible web to fuse the appliques before stitching.

And so it begins

2010-03-16T08:19:00.000-05:00

This blog was created oh so long ago, and then-nothing. Well I am hear now and I can say let the blogging begin.

What can you expect? Pictures of projects, pictures of my Grandson, pictures of inspiration. There will also be tutorials, links, and ideas. What you won't see here? Criticism of your latest project, doom and gloom or ugly hair day pictures.

O.K. that is out of the way now down to fun stuff. I have been enjoying the Crochet along project that is featured at yougogirl
It is so much fun making these simple pillowcases. I even have a quilt made from the same fabric!

The Quilt is made from the pattern "Magic Nine Patch" by Beverly Ingram.
Hopefully today I might try something a bit different for the pillowcase. I'm thinking about doing a different edge treatment. I'll let you know how it all comes out.
Talk to you soon,
