Friday Scraps – Catch up

I think I should call these “Weekend” Scraps. As they aren’t always being written on Friday. But Friday Scraps sounds better…And I have to play catch up for the past 2 weeks. So it will be just the highlights. In the midst of my feathers and swirls and pebbles, a critical part of the stitchContinue reading “Friday Scraps – Catch up”

Friday Scraps – from a “not much was accomplished” week

Disclaimer – I wrote this, well not exactly this, but something close last night…and then the post was deleted, never to be found. So I am writing again this beautiful Saturday morning. Last week ended and this week began with a Revival meeting at church. Bro Josiah from Nigeria came to preach the Word ofContinue reading “Friday Scraps – from a “not much was accomplished” week”

For that person that has everything…

So Christmas is coming…and with it comes the struggle of what to get for that person that has everything. Don’t settle with just giving money or a generic gift card. Give the gift of memories. Secretly collect (or let them know and be involved with the process) their old cherished shirts from college, baseball tournaments,Continue reading “For that person that has everything…”

Quick Tip – Trouble Thread

Let me tell you a secret – It’s ok to throw the trouble thread out. I was working on the long arm Quilting Machine on Wednesday. I had a t-shirt quilt loaded and was hopping to get the quilting completed that night. I had a black King Tut spool loaded. King Tut normally works perfectly onContinue reading “Quick Tip – Trouble Thread”

Another Regular Quilting Customer

Since we are talking about my regulars, I didn’t want to mention one with out highlighting the other. I made a quilt for my Chiropractor for him to hang in his office. This brought about the desired effect of securing a new customer for me. She too has been faithful through the years to supply meContinue reading “Another Regular Quilting Customer”

One of the First and Regular Quilting Customers

In thinking about my beginnings, my thoughts go back to my first customers. Or one of my first. We started working together in March of 2011. She had a quilter back east where her sister lived that she would send her quilt tops to and was willing to try someone local. I can’t remember howContinue reading “One of the First and Regular Quilting Customers”

T-Shirt Quilt Challenge

I met with a new customer a couple months ago that provided me with a challenge. I was given 7 shirts and asked to make a t-shirt quilt for his wife. When asked what her style/colors were…I was given modern and neutral. Normally a queen size quilt takes 25-30 shirts, if arranged in a standardContinue reading “T-Shirt Quilt Challenge”

Bragging

I need to brag on God a minute. Let me tell you a story of what he did for me this weekend. It might me a little long…but it’s in the details that God’s grace shines through. Friday night I had a quilt on the machine that I needed off by Saturday morning for aContinue reading “Bragging”
