"Be Neat"

Image
Good morning my friends and family!  Its early and coffee time for me.  I hope you all had a good weekend and got to do something you love. I worked on a special quilt this weekend and while I was working on it I could hear Linda's voice that gave me some pointers.  I am a self taught quilter and with that I had some bad habits I'd developed.  A lady I'd met and fellow quilter offered to help me when I'd made the comment to her that my quilts do not ever look as nice hers.  She had me come to her house a few times to work with me.  She taught me the importance of making sure I am consistent with having a 1/4" seam allowance , matching seams, and pressing them open nice and flat.... really flat. I can hear her voice now telling me "to slow down and enjoy the process" and to always "BE NEAT."  So when I was pressing this seam nice and flat on the quilt I am working on I noticed this and right away heard Linda say "BE NEAT."

AND DONE!

Good morning!  I'm enjoying a cup of coffee and sitting by the fire place.  Its a electric one but it gives you warmth and feel of a real one and I love it.  I like to use it as a focal point while I do my morning meditation.  Clearing my mind and thinking about my day and what I hope to accomplish.

I'm very please with how this one turned out.  It took me almost two weeks to complete it, but remember in that two week time period we had two holidays.  So it was two weeks but not really.  I enjoyed some down time over the past two weeks.  But now its time ...

A quilt update:

Good morning!  I love mornings like this, sitting out in the 4 season room with the window open I listening to my new fountain flowing and the sound of the humming birds flying around fussing.  I'm enjoying a cup of coffee and I have a lavender incense burning.  I usually burn one a day and I like to burn my sage stick a lil as well to reduce negative energy before heading down to my studio for the day.  Its a great start to me. I recently had the pleasure to quilt a quilt top for a local quilt shop   The Stitching Nook .  This is a great shop and offers it all, sewing/embroidery machines, fabrics, battings, threads, patterns and some great classes for all phases of sewing.  The quilt I quilted for them is for a upcoming quilt class they are offering soon.  Better sign up fast if your interested.  If I had the time I'd love to take it my self the quilt is beautiful and would look great on my bed.  Time is the issue I am working hard tr...
