No, you are not lost, merely dormant. Who has such time to devote to blogging when there are children, chores, lesson plans, substitute hours to attend to.

My birthday is December 24, my s-i-l on January 22, our three friends in February. We get together to quilt when we can, though I have been on hiatus at times while working on grad school.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These batik pinwheels came from a UFO tablerunner I got at a quilt store "garage sale" for $2. I unsewed, then resewed into these:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Asian print has some shiny gold in it. I love it. The red and gold on the bottom of this pic is the one I wanted, and the one that was left for me. The two blocks came from a local church garage sale.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one is made from batiks. The baby's name is River, which inspired the color scheme. The edges are a bit wavy, but all in all a decent quilt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been sewn into a quilt top, which is languishing in storage. I may have to send it out to be quilted, because I don't have the time, and my machine is not quite right for the job.</span><br />

Here is the owl purse I just had to make. I believe it was from Quilts and More Magazine, from 2011, maybe? I gave it to our neighbor girl. It seemed like an easy pattern but I was not overly pleased with how the binding didn't seem to match up nicely on the back. All right for a five-year-old girl, though--I've seen her carrying it around.</span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The yarn came from the thrift store, brand new, but at a cheap price. The boucle yarn is perfect for the hat, as it has a good texture, much like feathers.</span><br />

Of course, I'll put up pictures of those as well. I made two quilted totes, one for me, one for DD. Both are made from batiks, and have to be seen to be appreciated. Thanks to Quilts and More Summer 2010 for the pattern.<br />
<br />
I had found a pattern for a needle holder on someone's blog, but then failed to locate the said blog again (after numerous attempts). I finally decided that I am smart enough to figure one out for myself, so also completed a quilted needle holder (almost like a book or folder) with wool felt "pages" for the needles, and some pockets. I use it all the time, and love having a place to put a needle (not just some random piece of fabric, not the magnet, not the tomato pincushion where they get pushed in, not the package needle came from), and knowing where the needles are. Such joy from such a small thing.<br />
<br />
These first two pics are Grace's bag, back and front.<br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was the first time that I used fabrics all from one line. Red Rooster's Paisley Party caught my eye when s-i-l and I went to the Minnesota Quilt Show in Duluth. I first found fat quarters at a shop on the way up (potty stop), and then found more at the show. I love the colors so much; they remind me of yummy colorful candies. It's good that I didn't see the other fabrics in the line, because the Paisley part of the Party is just as fun!</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used fabric markers to color in this label. It's from "Make Your Own Quilt Labels!" Volume 4, by Kim Churbuck, whom I got to meet at the quilt show. She has a bunch of these little books of inspiration for quilt labels--I soooo wished that I had thought of the concept first. I also wish I'd have seen her booth in the first few hours, not the last 10 min., as I was pretty low on $$ by then, but had enough to buy one of her books. Thank you Kim, for sharing your talent with all of us! I will buy more next time I get to a quilt show...</span></div>

She has a lot of ideas for repurposing items that you likely have around the house. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our rubber-backed bath mat is falling apart, mostly because I have to wash it a few times a week as the family dachshund uses it for potty when nobody notices she needs outside. Or when it's raining and she doesn't even try to tell anyone. I am not loving the rubber backed type rugs anyway, because they smell bad when wet, and take a long time to dry!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Amanda has this project in her book to use a towel that is no longer being used, and some fabric--perhaps sheets that aren't used anymore either. I took advantage of the possibility that I'd find something at our church thrift sale, and I found a towel bath mat (the size of a bath mat, but made out of the loopy towel material), and a really cool print on cotton, but thicker than quilting fabric.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some more shots of the quilt. I sewed the label in the "wrong" place, meaning that I didn't intend to sew it on the top of the back, nor "upside down". I put these descriptions in quotes because it's not like you can really mess this up, as you really never look at both sides at the same time, do you?</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made this quilt for a friend from church and Girl Scouts. It is a scrappy quilt--I did not buy anything new for it, including the batting, which was pieced together from fairly large scraps.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The label is an experiment, as I have never done any embroidery before but would like to start! The embroidery is free form, my first attempt at some stitches. Bird was appliqued first and embroidery worked after. The bird is done broderie perse, I believe it is called, where you cut out an image printed on fabric, and applique it. It's from a fat quarter a friend bought for me a long time ago, probably 10+ years. I have never figured out what to do with it, but here's a start.</span><br />

I just have to find the camera again. :) Amid clearing out the house for a garage sale (read: beware of pregnant woman nesting), I have sorted through lots of craft things and found a long-lost cross-stitch baby blanket that needed completion. It is now ready for baby-on-the-way--it only took the pending arrival of the fourth child to get it done. But done it is, and in the washing machine with two other baby quilts. One is for a friend of my s-i-l. The other is for a friend from church and Girl Scouts. Will post pics when they are done washing.Angie Lepschhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370634429634560067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103975961050259198.post-53601392887938785602010-06-14T14:24:00.007-05:002012-12-08T17:08:11.993-06:00Baby quilts<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2im77bLfIWJ7NCBMbONUGM7XYnOc-NL8S0-7T-Cli9F-G66-UJS8wWYq24JW4efAQrKIEK7x4HKeqpap98bgNyb9b83tY2MQz7hmAvsP6oC41lSOap3bvQw8pWSP-PrIS4bXjtkDQd_4/s1600/little+blessings+quilt+for+Egan.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482714065119535122" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2im77bLfIWJ7NCBMbONUGM7XYnOc-NL8S0-7T-Cli9F-G66-UJS8wWYq24JW4efAQrKIEK7x4HKeqpap98bgNyb9b83tY2MQz7hmAvsP6oC41lSOap3bvQw8pWSP-PrIS4bXjtkDQd_4/s320/little+blessings+quilt+for+Egan.jpg" style="float: right; height: 88px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 122px;" /></a><br />

<span style="color: #6633ff; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are two baby quilts. The star quilt has Little Blessings fabric in the centers--cannot get this fabric anymore and that's too bad! I always seem to find a fabric line after it's retired. That quilt was for my cousin's baby, born 2007; I was able to give it to them in March 2008, not too bad. The pinwheel quilt was made from the triangle scraps of the star quilt--even though they were small, I couldn't bear to throw them! I believe the half-square triangles were 2.25 inches finished. That quilt went to it's tiny owner in November 2008.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #6633ff; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The backing is scrappy, which is the first time I've ever done that. Usually I use one big piece or two pieces of fabric.</span><br />

The undersea item, Porthole to Paradise, was actually something that my DH started a long time ago, before children. He did about the first top half, and then over the years I would pick it up now and again and work on the rest of it. This last November, I got it back from someone I had asked to finish it--she herself has a busy family, so was not able to get to it, which I understand completely! Anyway, having been home with sick children, it seems they are taking turns, I had some time to work on it, and finally completed the backstitch outlining. Voila! Now I have to get it blocked, matted, and framed.<br /><br />The other is the "Every Herb" project, which I lost the original stamped cross-stitch fabric, but have the pattern and floss (go figure). Again, something from before children. Can you tell I am in a cleaning out, purging mode?? If it isn't going to be finished and enjoyed, it must go.Angie Lepschhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370634429634560067noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103975961050259198.post-85117188510502860612009-12-21T12:47:00.006-06:002012-12-08T17:07:18.125-06:00Quilted Advent Calendar<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI0l5uVcwX1ijto5kmpOtEZyB43LxpmCgomM0UwxdYYQcYed3IYK9dsd4V4CyJ4Ra5OArUCRSRg1LR-Z_BiH7IfxZgxnXCRf6aR5zOeMEgyYM89qhryfxYWCviYekSGWyC24ihORlUwh4/s1600-h/100_1361.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417767370315857602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI0l5uVcwX1ijto5kmpOtEZyB43LxpmCgomM0UwxdYYQcYed3IYK9dsd4V4CyJ4Ra5OArUCRSRg1LR-Z_BiH7IfxZgxnXCRf6aR5zOeMEgyYM89qhryfxYWCviYekSGWyC24ihORlUwh4/s320/100_1361.jpg" style="display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 240px;" /></a><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is our family's Advent Calendar. I made another last year for the family of one of our Goddaughters, Anika. The pattern, which I changed a bit, is from Quiltmaker #58, November/December 1997. The inverted triangles under the buttons are little fabric pockets, where the buttons hide until it's time each night to pull one out--the kids have been faithful and attentive to that part!</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hardest part about making this is collecting the buttons! I am a little picky about having to have a star at the top, so not just any buttons will do. Plastic buttons are easier to come by, and less expensive, but you have to pick out the nice ones, like some from Mary Englebreit. Ceramic buttons are nicer, but are harder to come by; good ones are expensive! In the photo you can see the very first ceramic gingerbread boy who started my collection in '97; I found him at The Country Peddler, a fine quilt store that sadly, is no longer around. I just checked my button collection recently, and have enough to make another, but I would have to choose for whom I would make it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial;">Here is a quilt that I made for my Grandma Gwenny, who just turned 87. She has been living in a nursing home/assisted care facility since June. She's not too happy about it, so I had the big idea to make her a quilt, something that might help her know that I think about her every day. It was meant to be more scrappy, but it turned out all right. It had to be an appropriate size, about a lap/throw size, for a few reasons: first, Grandma's not very big in stature; second, it needed to be a quilt that wasn't too big for the bed; third, it needs to be machine-wash size, so that her caregivers can easily clean it, just in case of spills and other senior moments.</span><br />

A few additions of bug fabric were necessary, but then I got to use some more "cutesy" bug fabrics, which didn't make the cut when the quilt was originally destined for number one son.</div><div> </div><div>The best part of this project, aside from finally calling it done, is that I got my Janome machine out of the deal. I was working on the machine quilting on my old Kenmore from Sears, a gift from DH in 1994, and the timing or something went bad, so it was not catching the bobbin thread and it was not pretty! Not a good thing to happen when you are 3/4 done with the quilting!! So I brought it to the nearby sewing machine shop, and they didn't know what was wrong without sending it away. And I needed to finish it now!! It's a Christmas present! I have two weeks!! DH said that I should think about a new machine, so I looked, and for the $$ the Janome does what I need.</div>Angie Lepschhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16370634429634560067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103975961050259198.post-27898566867514466292009-11-18T16:03:00.004-06:002012-12-09T23:33:42.560-06:00Bug Jar quilt for my cousin's baby<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgh9z0rPkKNT56AQdaq4WXZ3gynAbvXNVN3EL20-H-IlcxbKjkrMuF72jhn6rVDW2Xs9uySA5PPLO-AAh6d88BUl8Jxu-KkkcWRA9vZMzMXrkNwNKKt2f1ehPOg_Ok_NpQIk3qMB3ZxY/s1600/DCP_3703.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405570985891170658" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgh9z0rPkKNT56AQdaq4WXZ3gynAbvXNVN3EL20-H-IlcxbKjkrMuF72jhn6rVDW2Xs9uySA5PPLO-AAh6d88BUl8Jxu-KkkcWRA9vZMzMXrkNwNKKt2f1ehPOg_Ok_NpQIk3qMB3ZxY/s320/DCP_3703.jpg" style="float: right; height: 214px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 320px;" /></a><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been doing a lot of quilting projects lately, not enough blogging. Here's a little something to celebrate.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few years ago, 4+, I started collecting fabrics for a bug jar quilt, hoping to also learn foundation piecing for the frog, bug, lizard, and other critter in the critter quilt. Alas, the foundation piecing was a bust for me, perhaps to be taken up again in the future. Then, number one son, who was the intended recipient, decided he was too old for the bug jar concept. He wanted Star Wars. And maybe the bug/frog/lizard quilt could be for the new baby coming in our family. Sigh.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So there it sat, for a few years, a completed top, but no more energy on my part. Then, a few months ago, my cousin and his wife found they were expecting, and nicknamed the little one "Baby Bugg". Aha!</span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With some unsewing, and a bit of restructuring, the quilt was definitely getting somewhere, and soon! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The label is from "Make Your Own Quilt Labels!" from Kim Churbuck. I used fabric markers to color it in, after I traced it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks to my Auntie, who helped deliver the quilt to the new baby. I was hoping to not have to mail the quilt. The young ones, Grandma, and I drove out to SD to visit said Auntie, then she drove out to CO to visit the new grandbaby. Nice when things work out!</span></div>

A follower on my humble blog? I should reward such loyalty with a token. What would said follower appreciate and enjoy, I wonder? Perhaps coasters, or a table runner.
