I made a quilt for my oldest grandson, Wyatt, for Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The two fabrics on top, I bought separately from the fat quarters that I had gotten on clearance last spring... The dark blue, I bought for the backing and the green for the sides.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I did some cutting and some sewing...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By this time, my husband as gotten my sewing room put together for me. God bless a man who is tired of all things sewing being in the dining room! haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I was able to get it sandwiched in the sewing room and quilted as well.</div>

It sure has been a while. I am sorry I do not keep up more often but will definitely try to keep this blog updated more in the future! I have a few things to show, so I will spread it out over this week so I will have something new to post..haha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up, I made my granddaughter a dress! I have sewn an apron before with my mother's help, but this one, I did on my own for the most part with her watching and giving advice...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the fabric I chose, I purchased the pink at Joann's and the elephant print at Spoonflower, expensive but worth it when it is just the thing. An elephant theme has evolved around Gianna in this first year of her life, unintentional to begin with, all of a sudden, she was getting a lot of elephants from different people, even her binky holder was a soft plush elephant that she would feel against her face and fall asleep, she could not fall asleep without Ellie. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this is why the elephant fabric was perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JcoH51Ew14Y/XDyIMejmjwI/AAAAAAAASVk/9uY05mKc8EgiRp5QEAgmMn9cQpsVgkiGACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_6451.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JcoH51Ew14Y/XDyIMejmjwI/AAAAAAAASVk/9uY05mKc8EgiRp5QEAgmMn9cQpsVgkiGACLcBGAs/s400/IMG_6451.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is called the Puperita Blue Tit Dress. I purchased the pattern on Etsy, you can find it <a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1479561971" target="_blank">HERE</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1479561971" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="444" data-original-width="570" height="311" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wI4H-wsHv0g/XDyJLVeHEfI/AAAAAAAASVs/6nMu7Omt2vEUfETqHjN98m524J5Btz52wCLcBGAs/s400/il_570xN.1247961216_tr9w.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I printed out the pattern from a .pdf file, then taped it together. I found the size I was looking for and cut out each piece. It was well taped so I had no problems doing this. The pattern was PERFECT. Easy to read and well explained and I will definitely buy from this pattern maker again. </div>

The bodice, I used a soft muslin for the inner bodice.</div>

I found the sleeves suprisingly easy to attach to the bodice.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Attaching the skirt to the bodice was more of a challenge, I had to make sure the bunched up fabric was evenly.....bunched up..haha. I am not sure what this technique is called, but you baste the waist with thread, then pull and it gathers the fabric for you.</div>

Fir the back, it called for buttons, but I wasn't ready for buttons, and not on a child that hated being dressed in the first place. I did three squares of velcro, and attached three buttons to show in the outside so it looked buttoned, but was as easy as velcro. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the finished dress, I did not get a photo of the back. I did add a thin border to the bottom that was not called for. I love how that looked and turned out.</div>

So, this quilt is just too big for me, I have an autoimmune disorder and it leaves my muscles very weak, I cannot imagine trying to quilt on it, so I am going to have it long armed and I am okay with that! lol I will still be doing the binding myself. My son and his fiance cannot wait to start sleeping under this but it will be a few more months of waiting for them yet.<br />
<br />
I also finished my sister's disappearing 9-patch couch quilt!<br />

She loves it and it is the perfect size for her to cuddle up while watching a movie...<br />

Hello! I know, it has been a while...I will try to get better at keeping this updated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to use more of my trimmed scraps, in shades of blue, green, yellow and white/off-white to do this 9 Patch Variation block! This is pretty labor intensive, I have to say, but not hard to do at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one, I will be keeping for my husband and myself, for the couch. Something to use on a chilly evening that also looks pretty all day long. </div>

Also in the works...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a Folded Corners Block quilt in shades of blue and turquoise for my son and his fiance. This should be the last BIG quilt I have to make for a while. I have everyone covered, literally, that I have wanted to make quilts for, people that truly treasure the gift and have been waiting patiently for me to get to theirs..such a good feeling.</div>

Today, I am quilting on my very first 9-patch, my very first quilting project for my sister, for her birthday, she has no idea I am finishing it up and will be surprised when I give it to her. This is the one I am talking about...of course, it is bigger than this.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because I am having a hard time getting to my fabric (nephew is storing his whole life in that room) I grabbed a few boxes that I could, looked through my fabric for large enough yardage and came up with the best I could. But you know what? I like turning a corner of a quilt down and seeing a huge contrast in color..it might be the scrappy in me. I found some blue fabric and it is looking great...I swear! haha. I will post pics of the finished project when complete.</div>

Unfortunately, I have a muscle issue (high enzymes) that causes fatigue within a few minutes while I do anything. I am on medication for it, but it only helps so much. So, I do what I can when I am feeling up to it.<br />
<br />
I have a grand-daughter due on New Years Eve!! I did manage to finish a quilt for her and it is so girly and pink!<br />
<br />
I will start with working photos and then the one where she is holding it up.<br />
<br />
I decided to do quick and easy, random placement of half square triangles.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a Disappearing 9-Patch. It is the very first quilt I attempted at the end of 2014. Because I was starting to quilt, I received a bunch of gift certificates for Christmas and went shopping and this fell to the wayside. I never leave a project unfinished even if it takes me years to get back to it. *cough*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I am finishing this up and will be gifting it to my younger sister once I have it all quilted...but it IS in line. I still have to finish <a href="http://icansewastraightline.blogspot.com/2017/02/some-quilting-updates.html" target="_blank">Zack's black, red, gray and white quilt</a> first. I am ordering the batting for that next week! This is all fabric my Mom had given me, and the red fabric was left over from kitchen curtains I had made.</div>

I am so loving this one. I saw one kind of like it on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/jodiii/quilts/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. Without the <a href="http://www.jampatch.com/shop/Publications-Patterns-Books-Magazines/Patterns--Pieced/p/Pancakes-by-Tula-Pink-x710677.htm" target="_blank">pattern</a> (Pancakes by Tula Pink), I said.."I can do this!" And so I am...all the fabric was already in my stash :) My blocks are 3.5x5 inches. I am not sure if I used the correct measurements..but close enough!</div>

At this point, the light green blocks were starting to have an optical illusion effect which was really cool. They are light enough that with the white corners, they appear to be going in the opposite direction sometimes. They look as if they are tumbling around. Everyone who sees it has been saying it messes with their eyes a bit. Didn't expect it..but so glad it is happening..how fun is that?!</div>

This will be another gift for my cousin who helped me out so much when I tore my meniscus in my knee and had surgery. </div>

She always appreciates what I am working on so I know she will value it as I value her.</div>

Working away at this...at my own pace..which is a Sunday Driving kind of pace..lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This block is the Sashed 4-Patch</div>

I now have all 10 of each block done, 20 blocks in all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have started piecing them together with the black sashing...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wRWj3LBacBI/V9vQRbxKI_I/AAAAAAAAPXk/zO0-ENBJVFw3xUy0HXF036zu_VEkmhL2wCLcB/s1600/20160913-IMG_2787.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wRWj3LBacBI/V9vQRbxKI_I/AAAAAAAAPXk/zO0-ENBJVFw3xUy0HXF036zu_VEkmhL2wCLcB/s400/20160913-IMG_2787.jpg" width="283" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
here is a pic with the sashing going down the length...I have since taken it off, not all the posts are matching up. This makes me want to scream and throw a tantrum...but I don't do tantrums. I just set it down for a few days...forgive it and move on again....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so today, I will try to figure out where I went wrong.. ugh.</div>

My Mom and I went on a little shopping spree yesterday! Joanne's!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first two fabrics, I am thinking about putting into a quilt for my younger sister. The middle three fall fabrics, I will be making into place mats. My mother also got the orange fabric with different coordinating fabrics and we will be making them together here at my house next Thursday..fun! The last two are fleece. I am going to make a tied blanket for my 3 yr old grandson, Wyatt. He loves dinosaurs! I also got a new ruler, pins, thread and ribbon. All in all...I did great! Total: $137.81. I had a $30.00 gift card from Christmas and coupons which saved me 35.78. I ended up paying $72.00 for everything. The real treasure was spending the day with my Mom. </div>

I started quilting in January 2015. I have made one quilt for myself. One for my father, one for my grandson, one for my sister, I have one I am working on for my cousin who helps me out all the time...and today, I have started one for my oldest son, Zack. Before I can get back to doing for myself..I have to make one for my younger sister, my younger son and my other grandson. And that's it! After that, it is going to be all about me for a while! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
here is the pattern I created for Zack's Quilt:</div>

Those stars glow in the dark by the way and this gives me the giggles, I can picture him bringing a girl into his room (he has an apartment), turning out the lights and his bed starts to glow...haha...</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My sister was about to have major surgery so I had to kick it into high gear to complete her lap quilt before she went into the hospital. I stalled on the project as I decided to tie the quilt down and sew along the border for a very country feel (like quilts don't look country enough). Little did I know how sore the process would make my fingers! I mean..I quit working on it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So about three days before her surgery, I kicked myself in the butt, called my mother, asked her to come over and help me pull the floss tight..and she did, and we did and it is done! I wanted to keep it!</div>

She loved it..she is the one with the dark hair, my Mom on the other side. She brought it to the hospital with her, she was there for 2 nights, came home the other day. I went to see her yesterday and she was in a living room recliner, covered in her quilt. Nothing makes me happier than knowing she is on the mend and that I could giver her something she will always cherish.</div>

I started this quilt, my first in January 2015 when I actually began this new to me craft of quilting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had picked up 2 jelly rolls from Joanne's that were on sale, I think for $5.00 a roll. A steal, I know!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I decided on something simple...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I did not know it at the time, this is called the Rail Fence block. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So I cut....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l45dArsHsmM/V20UXzD3e_I/AAAAAAAAPBk/2fdHooNe-SMpN1fvXmP3-2Y-vUMBUmNEwCLcB/s1600/01-20-15.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="457" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l45dArsHsmM/V20UXzD3e_I/AAAAAAAAPBk/2fdHooNe-SMpN1fvXmP3-2Y-vUMBUmNEwCLcB/s640/01-20-15.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I sewed and laid it all out...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8UgOjaVKrtA/V20UYGjfVwI/AAAAAAAAPBs/SMDiZJs5DbkkVzHNpqpMcuikCsUgXna9wCLcB/s1600/01-25-15.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8UgOjaVKrtA/V20UYGjfVwI/AAAAAAAAPBs/SMDiZJs5DbkkVzHNpqpMcuikCsUgXna9wCLcB/s640/01-25-15.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I sewed again until my top panel was together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zPKllH8zYUM/V20UX2Ri-XI/AAAAAAAAPBw/xlqu3E6aamkkjXh0gZ14gCg6LERICsJiwCLcB/s1600/01-26-15.2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="440" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zPKllH8zYUM/V20UX2Ri-XI/AAAAAAAAPBw/xlqu3E6aamkkjXh0gZ14gCg6LERICsJiwCLcB/s640/01-26-15.2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I even let the dogs check it out, they think anything on the floor is for them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G2qtf3ZOEmc/V20UZKblJPI/AAAAAAAAPB4/pFuvSR3AME4rJGD6aw-hd-vHbqSEhRkRACLcB/s1600/01-26-15.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G2qtf3ZOEmc/V20UZKblJPI/AAAAAAAAPB4/pFuvSR3AME4rJGD6aw-hd-vHbqSEhRkRACLcB/s640/01-26-15.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I folded it up and started working on other quilts until I pulled it out a few days ago and decided to finish it and gift it to my sister when it is done. I added 2 borders. yes, I know I could have gone all the way around with the white first then all the way around with the green and that is how I have been completing my borders, but this time, I went with doing it this way. I like how the white just stands out and goes to the end like that on all 4 corners.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SvWglAG80n0/V20Ua5XZ6oI/AAAAAAAAPCA/XbtKN7V870kXMB2jCuRA5XRSUYo-6oNngCLcB/s1600/20160618-IMG_2306.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SvWglAG80n0/V20Ua5XZ6oI/AAAAAAAAPCA/XbtKN7V870kXMB2jCuRA5XRSUYo-6oNngCLcB/s640/20160618-IMG_2306.jpg" width="532" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do have it sandwiched, with batting and backing on now...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I doubled up on the batting as I wanted him to be able to use it for the floor. It also makes the machine quilting look more dimensional.</div>

I am currently working on a 2.5 inch block scrap quilt. Just going from light to dark..making 9 patches first, then sewing them into rows of 7. This one will be for my living room, somthing to cover up with while watching TV. The variation of colors looks much nicer in person, I couldn't quite capture it with my camera.I now have two full rows of 9 patches sewn together...I am just making the nine patches now, until I have enough to just sew them all together. I plan on doing a 3-4 inch border all around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of these scraps are from previous sewing projects, but I also have a friend that sews and she has been bringing me bags of scraps...I am thrilled that she does and I plan on using them always!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Feel free to leave me a link to your scrap projects or baby quilts, I would love to visit and see what you are working on!</div>

I had a very busy summer...took me a while to recover, then I had a problem with trigger finger and couldn't sew well as that required me to pin things together which my finger did not want to do! I had surgery to fix the problem in October and am now back at it with photos to share!!<br />
<br />
First up, I<span id="goog_1398823351"></span><span id="goog_1398823352"></span> am in the home stretch at finishing up a quilt I am making for my Dad and step-mom....I designed the pattern myself and struggled through. I didn't realize there were flying geese in there until I had already had all my fabric cut..needless to say..if you have experience with triangles..which I didn't...the going was hard and there was a lot of seam ripping going on! I almost quit several times!<br />
<br />
It is now sandwhiched and I have begun stitching in the ditch. This is my second quilt...<br />

This was taken with my flash but it doesn't look as bad as it looked through my eyes without the camera. Anyway..glad he finally made it home. :)<br />
<br />
I worked more on my Layer Cake Sampler quilt :) I only have one column left to add and a border around for the top of the quilt. What do you think?<br />

<br />
So..I have the 4 columns sewn. The column on the left looks a little longer as it is the only one ironed when I took this picture. I have to add the sashing and posts now in between the columns and I am scared...so afraid it won't match up....I have been putting it off for several days actually.<br />

Hello!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I ran out of yellow fabric for my Layer Cake Sampler and decided to work with the two jelly rolls I had purchased while I waited to go to the fabric store again to get my yellow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not sure of the brand name of these rolls, the front of the tag says Batik Jelly, while the back says Batik Jelly Roll Coral Red. They were on sale, I grabbed them as I had been seeing quilts made with jelly rolls on Pinterest and knew I wanted to try!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just did my own thing with these which I am sure is a common layout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This pic is before I squared them to 6x6 inches</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tCNvDRJ_9Dc/VMeDArxyalI/AAAAAAAAOJI/NzSEuhF0lig/s1600/01-20-15.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tCNvDRJ_9Dc/VMeDArxyalI/AAAAAAAAOJI/NzSEuhF0lig/s1600/01-20-15.JPG" height="286" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is after squaring them all and sewing the strips together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8cjllbzUlq4/VMeDCCZh3KI/AAAAAAAAOJU/JqM64yBQG5w/s1600/01-25-15.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8cjllbzUlq4/VMeDCCZh3KI/AAAAAAAAOJU/JqM64yBQG5w/s1600/01-25-15.JPG" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then that evening, after shopping for my yellow fabric and picking up a few more yards to start my stash..I sewed the strips together. This is what I have so far! It is a lap/couch size...I am going to make it a little bigger with some borders. Still coming up with a plan for that!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took this pic before the one above and could not get these "helpers" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to help by staying off..they had to check it out!</div>

The Title of this blog says it all! I CAN sew a straight line.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have sewn in the past, pillow cases, decorative pillows..and this past November/December, I sewed an apron for my daughter-in -law...turned out pretty good!</span><br />
