It's Official

I now know how to make a irish chain quilt. I had so much fun in class and learnt alot of things. My next class will be the log cabin and then onto a jelly roll. Are we seeing a pattern here. Ive got the fever.

Today in serger class we learnt how to make a serger charging station. Boy i wish ive had this nifty thing so many times when i have traveled. Ive left behind cellphone chargers a time or two or had to go back into a hotel room to get my phone after ive checked out. It even has loops to hold a power strip. Now that is so cool. Im always running out of plugins while traveling.

3rd week of irish chain class

Today was my quilt class, I put batting in between fabric and beganembroidering celtic knot onto the big squares (17 squares) . I used variegatedcotton. I didnt think i would have to buy any thread today because i had my own"embroidery thread" but i learnt something with this quilting. You are notsupposed to use rayon or polyester emb because it will cut into the fabric. Ilove taking these classes, that is where i learn to correct the bad habits thati do on my own lol. I stayed over for a couple of hours and embroidered all but2 of the squares. It was alot of work. Im not used to embroidering on a pfaff soit was a challenge at first learning was buttons to press but i got the hang ofit after awhile.

If you ever get a chance to be apart of a Christopher Nejman event, you will be in for a wild time . He is the author of bags and pillows and teaches you how to use the 12 needle embellisher. What a blast that day was. I can not wait for him to come back to tulsa. That event is where i learnt the true meaning of Babylock, for the love

Digitized Red Roses

I love to digitize, it is so therapeutic for me. Takes my mind off of so many things and puts me into the moment. I did a stitch out and there is a couple of things i want to go back in and change but overall i was very pleased how it turned out.

This is my first quilt, I started in class last wednesday. The first week we had put together 3 1/2 inch blocks to make 9 1/2 inch squares. Then we sewed 9 patch to a 9 1/2 light block to make rows. Today we sewed the rows together and added the inner (2 Inch)and outer border(5 inch)

Quilting 101

Today was my first class in quilting. We are learning how to make an Irish Chain. It was much easier than i thought. The key is to have a fresh cut. That i mean by holding the fabric by the selvage edge. Press the fabric and make sure no wrinkles. Take the fabric over to the cutting table and cut off the first inch to get a straight cut. If you dont get a straight cut then chance are you are going to get a bow in the fabric and when you go to sew pieces together, they will not line up properly. There were only three of us taking the class, so i was able to get alot of 1 on 1 help.
