Day Seven

*

It's my turn to talk to you about Kim Brackett's new bestselling book, Scrap Basket Sensations!

This means that leaving a comment on this post gives you an opportunity to win an autographed copy of Kim's book.

This book is also available from Martingale Publishing, Amazon or your local quilt store.

*

Do you remember this post about Scrappy vs The Safe Zone? Well, these are the quilts I had just completed. LOL

I had the honor of making two quilts for Kim's book. I was happily in The Safe Zone when I made Summer Daze using a Snippets Jelly Roll.

I was in the Scrappy Zone (way out of my comfort zone) to make Tool Shed. I kept telling Kim I couldn't use scraps to make this quilt. She laughed but gently encouraged me. Not bad for an amateur scrap quilter. LOL

Initially I opted not to interview Kim for this post because what could I ask her that others hadn't already asked.
I finally did ask her what size shoe she wears?
She wears an 8 1/2 so I wondered if she used her empty shoe boxes to store her carefully organized scraps. LOL
Actually sometime in 2010 she shared on her blog that she cut most of her stash into 2 1/2" strips and stores them in plastic shoe boxes (not her empty card board shoe boxes)


Instead I asked the talented ladies on this Blog Tour the following:
*
Are you comfortable working with true scraps (fabrics from many different lines) or do you prefer to use a coordinated set of fabrics?
*
Their answers:
*
Kim: "For the most part, I'm a scrap freak! For the Picnic quilt on the cover of the book, I used part of one Jelly Roll, part of another, and threw in some scraps just for the heck of it. "
*
Sherri: "I love working with true scraps...honestly, sometimes I just use pre-cuts because they save so much time!"
*
Mary: "For me I found I like to keep my civil war scraps separate from all the others...I guess same goes with Jo fabrics. I have a really hard time mixing batiks in with novelties! LOL I love working with the Moda pre-cuts for scrappy quilts even though they end up a coordinated scrappy look like Blessings from the Hollow quilt".
*
Stephanie: "The scrappier the better...mix them all up I say!"
*
Millie: "I do love scrappy quilts and these quilts all have their own personality."
*
Nicole: " I do sometimes work with true scraps, but I sure do spend a long time auditioning the ones that go best with each other!"
*
Sinta: "I prefer fabric groups myself. I have a whole lot of jelly rolls that I have collected, so it's an opportunity to use them."
*
Karen: "I say scraps. I'm trying to use a jelly roll for the tipsy baskets, and I'm having a hard time. I'd much rather use true scraps."
*
Sue: "For myself, I use either jelly-rolls or co-ordinated bundles. I really can't seem to make myself do truly scrappy!"
*
Carol: Carol was away on a quilting retreat when I asked my question but I know she loves working with scraps and coordinated fabric lines.
*
Me: We already know I prefer The Safe Zone - coordinated fabric lines. :-)
Some day I will organize all my scraps I have saved from every quilt I've made. Or not! LOL
The Safe Zone - Oasis and Breakfast at Tiffany's Jelly Rolls :-)
*
Leave a comment telling me whether you prefer The Scrappy Zone or The Safe Zone (coordinated fabric lines)
I plan to draw a winner on Friday, February 18th
*
then on to:
*
Karen at Nana Girl Quilts - February 17th
Sue at Quilt Times - February 18th
Carol at Brown Quilts - February 19th
*
Good Luck!!!
*
By the way Kim would love to be retired so she can spend her days quilting but for now she must use her
size 8 1/2 foot to put pedal to the medal on her red Honda CRV to drive to work every day.
*

I wish I could show you a work in progress from this fabulous new book but there's still no sewing going on here! Soon, I hope! Don't fret - this too shall pass. :-)

My Party Is Over!

*

My "Word Up Sewing Party" is over but I'm skipping out of my sewing room with a very happy heart. woohoo!!!
Using my Sweet Honey Bun (by Urban Chicks/Moda) I made "Counting by Fives" by Polly of Aunt Polly's Porch and can be found at the Moda Bake Shop. I really enjoyed being back at my machine and hope that this was 'the' project to jumpstart my sputtering mojo.
*
Thank you for cheering me on!!! Now I'm off to watch "The Social Network" with Mr Daze while enjoying some handwork. :-)
*
In Friendship!

Party-On!!!

*

I'm in my sewing room continuing to party! I'll be back later to show my progress!

Singing Heart!!!

My heart was singing today - lalalalalalala! Did you hear it? :-)


Sweet blocks!!!!
I sewed and sewed and sewed some more!
I was working with an older Honey Bun (Sweet by Urban Chicks/Moda).
A stash busting project - woohoo!!!
*
I started assembling the quilt top and hope to finish it tomorrow.

Kelly & Kris you two really know how to throw a party - thank you!

A fun day indeed.................
*

Heart!

*

Oh no I'm late for the "Word Up Sewing Party" - actually I was almost a no-show. :-) Thank you Kelly and Kris for sponsoring this Charming Girls Sewing Party - everyone is having tons fun (I've peeked - teehee).

*

My word for 2011 is "Heart" - enjoying what I do thereby making my heart sing. My heart has not been singing much because I've no desire to sew. Sigh!

*

I've decided to work on a very simple project with some fun fabrics - surely my heart will sing?!?!?!?!?

Ready, Set, Sew!

Mr Daze put this one together and it's ready to go to a lucky winner! Could it be YOU?

Now What????

*

My crazed life is finally starting to get back to normal and I'm wondering "Now What"? This is like the calm after a storm.
*
Mr Daze is recovering nicely and walking with a cane. woohoo! However, I will be very happy when he can drive again.
*
Our daughter has delivered Shaye and they're settling into a nice routine. Life is good for her sweet family. Makes this momma very happy. :-)
*
So....Now what?????
*
Yesterday I decided it was definitely time to clean up the mega mess in my sewing room. During the cleaning and tidying up process I got super disgusted with myself. I was chastising myself for all the quilting stuffus I have; the huge pile of flimsies, the even bigger pile of quilts, etc. I threw my hands in the air and walked out in utter disgust.
*
I have a handful of Christmas and birthday gifts that I'm super behind on but ......
*
I start to get excited about a project and then ask myself why? This is ridiculous - I've become my own worst enemy. Sigh!!!
*

This is not a slump just frustration with me, myself and I.

:-(

*
Thanks for 'listening'.

My Bliss(ful) Nursery

*

You already know my first name is Shaye,

do you know that my middle name is Ilyana (e-lee-ana).

My very talented Mommy painted these letters to hang on the wall above my crib.
I'm going to take a little nappy - please take a few minutes to look at the pix of the things my Nana made for my nursery. My Nana made this pillow to hang on my nursery door.
Maybe my big brothers Seth & Eli will be quiet so I can take lots of nappies.
This is my diaper stacker!

And, Nana made my bumper pads, too.

What do you think of my crib skirt?
My Nana has been busy!

This is my Bliss(ful) spot in my nursery!
:-)
My Nana came to play with me today (yes, again) and she made a list of more things she's going to make for me.
*
Thank you for spending a little time with me and visiting my
Bliss(ful) nursery.

Shaye Ilyana & Nana Darlene

There's a new Bitty Girl in town!!!!!

This bundle of joy, Shaye, arrived this morning (1/13/11) at 8:04 AM, weighing 6 lbs 10 oz and 20 inches long. She's welcomed by our daughter, Kristie (Mommy), son-in-law Gino (Daddy), big brothers Seth & Eli, and, of course her Nana & Papa :-)

"Scrap-Basket Sensations"

(my sweet secret - teehee)

*

I'm sure you're familiar with Kim Brackett (Magnolia Bay Quilts) and author of the Martingale Best Seller "Scrap Basket Surprises". It's a fabulous book chock full of delightful projects made with 2.5" strips.
*
Well, get your 2.5" strips ready because Kim's new book "Scrap-Basket Sensations" is due to be released on Tuesday, January 11. Yes, 18 delightful new projects made with 2.5" strips. YUM!!!!


I'm here to share pictures of two quilts I made for Kim's new book. In the fall of '09 during my huge quilting slump Kim sent me an e-mail offering to help me with my slump - would I be interested in making a quilt or two for her second book. Would I????? Yes, yes and yes! :-) Kim and I became friends through blogging and I'm in constant awe of her designing talent.
*
The first quilt I made was easy peasy for me because I used a Snippets Jelly Roll by American Jane/Moda for this sweet quilt. I can imagine this quilt on the back of a white rocking chair or swaying porch swing.


Then I HAD to step out of my comfort zone and work with scraps to make this next quilt. I couldn't use another Jelly Roll or coordinated strips because this book is about scrappy quilts not quilts made with Jelly Rolls. Oh, this was one was super tough for me - LOL! I used lots of different scraps - Civil War prints, Moda prints (French General, Blackbird Designs, Robin Pandolph...), Thimbleberries, etc. I must admit that I had lots of fun making this quilt and felt quite proud of myself when I was finished. :-)

Please visit Kim's blog to read more about her new book. The book also has beautiful quilts made by incredibly talented quilt makers and good friends - Karen from Nanagirl Quilts and Mary from Quilt Hollow.
*
It was an honor for me to make two quilts for Kim's new book - "Scrap-Basket Sensations" - thank you, Kim.
*
And, thank YOU for stopping by to visit; I hope you'll run to your favorite quilt book source this week to purchase Kim's new book.

My Quilting Journey

For awhile now I've been thinking about the path I've been following while on my quilting journey. Somewhere along the way I either came to a fork in the road or made a hard left because I feel that I've veered off MY path! :-)
*
Quilting, stitching, etc in 2010 was tons of fun but I feel like I spent the year jumping on bandwagons and doing what every one else was doing. I've realized that I didn't spend time doing a handful of things that really make my heart sing. It's truly time to get back on MY path. This is not to say that I won't jump on any bandwagons but I must follow my heart.
*
I've enjoyed reading about everyone's resolutions, goals, etc. I've been thinking long and hard about whether or not I wanted to make some quilting related resolutions. Possibily overthinking the whole thing LOL. I decided that resolutions would only add stress to MY journey. This is suppose to be FUN so how much fun would I be having if I was stressing about my projects. :-)
*

Here I go jumping on my first bandwagon LOL!

Kelly from Charming Girl's Club has asked us to come up with a word for 2011 and mine is .....

"HEART"

I need to follow my heart in everything I do - if my heart's not in it then I'm not going to do it - 'nuf said. :-)
*

I've been fumbling with this post for a few days and can't seem to completely explain myself so I'll leave you for now but do remain......

*

In Friendship

Welcome 2011

*

May all your dreams, wishes, goals and creative endeavors come true in 2011.

Thank you for your friendship, inspiration and creativity through the world of blogging. I'm looking forward to more of the same in 2011. I hope that I've provided that for you, as well.

3. House is a mega mess.

*

4. Sewing room is a mega mess.

*

5. No sewing going on here - sigh!

Thanks for all your sweet comments and get well wishes for Ron (aka Mr Daze). He's read every comment and you've really touched his heart.

Surgery Update!

*

Ron's hip replacement surgery went very well today! The doctor is very optimistic of a full recovery and improved quality of life. He'll be in the hospital until Thursday 12/23.

Life Interrupted!

*

With the leg bone connected to the knee bone,

and the knee bone connected to the thigh bone,

and the thigh bone connected to the hip bone.................

wait a minute there is no hip bone!!!!!!

*

This past week life has been like a runaway train but I won't bore you with all the details leading up to "Life Interrupted".

*

The runaway train is taking my hubby, Mr Daze (aka Ron) to the hospital on Monday, 12/20 to have his right hip replaced. All the pre-op stuff was done yesterday along with clearance from his cardiologist.

*

"Life Interrupted" means that many things are having to take a backseat for now. It's time to focus on taking care of the most important person in my life.

*

Happy Holidays

An Idea That Worked!

:-)

*

I have many, many ideas constantly floating around in my head - sometimes they work and sometimes well, not so much. LOL This particular idea worked and it made me so happy!
*
My dear friend Carol of Brown Quilt 4 Me had a birthday in November and I wanted to send something DIFFERENT, because you know I'm normally a big old copy cat. I saw this adorable quilt on Karen's blog (aka Farmhouse Woolens) and promptly ordered the whole kit from her. It just said "CAROL" to me - yes, quilts speak to me. :-) The kit arrived and I promptly got busy - the letters are wool - I'm quite proud of myself. BTW, rather than drawing the letters individually I copied them onto Transfer-Eze (you know I love that stuff), adhered it to the wool and cut out my letters - easy peasy!
*
I love this little quilt so now I want to make one for me. teehee!

Now my big idea that worked! LOL I've been wanting to make a quilt holder like the one in the picture for ME but decided it would be fun to make a small one for Carol's little quilt first. So I enlisted the help of Mr Daze and he got busy. A piece of wood, three large clothes pins, spray paint, etc and it was DONE! Easy peasy with fabulous results - if I do say so myself. LOL
*
I've got Mr Daze (aka Ron) busy making quite a few of these because some very special friends will be receiving one, as well. Seriously, wouldn't you want one? And, if you think you do then stay tuned because I'll be giving one away right here on my blog very, very soon!

My 2nd Annual Christmas Ornament Exchange party was a smashing success! I'll post a picture or two soon.

I appreciate your visit - come again soon!

2nd Annual Christmas Ornament

Exchange Party!

*

It's been a whirlwind of activity in my home this week.

Tonight is my 2nd Annual Christmas Ornament Exchange Party. I'm in the throes of planning and prepping - name tags, silly party games (teehee) w/prizes, favor bags and food. Wish YOU could be here!

*

My 30+ guests have told me that they're excited and looking forward to it - that makes me very happy!

*

I'll try come to back tomorrow to tell you ALL about it and you can read about last year's party here.

Ho-Hum!!!!!

(still lazy)

I've visited so many blogs in recent days where the hubbub of Christmas sewing is happening. So many are making holiday mug rugs, hot pads, tablerunners, placemats, quilts, wreaths, etc. No holiday sewing going on here - the laziness continues! :-(
*
Oh I had BIG (really BIG) plans and they look wonderful in my mind's eye but alas they remain in my mind's eye. LOL Oh, I was going to make something sweet for you, something cute for you, something adorable for you and something special for you. I guess it still could happen but.........
HMMM - how tacky would it be to assign my friends a month in 2011 and send them a little something for Christmas then? I mean, seriously, can you imagine receiving a Christmas gift in June? That would definitely be tacky. Well, it was a thought - LOL
Wait, may be you would enjoy it - pick a month. LOL

*
Every January I tell myself that I'm going to make lots of somethings for Christmas so when it's time to decorate I have all kinds of wonderful things. So, it's almost December and there's NOTHING!
*
If you're doing some holiday sewing I bow down to you and if you're in my camp - welcome! LOL *

Happy Holiday Sewing

One & All :-)

Giving Thanks!

A Thanksgiving Greeting to you and yours from me and mine!

Today is a big day for a very special friend. We "met" via our blogs over 4 years ago and became good friends. Sadly we've never met face-to-face! :-) Please take a minute out of your busy day to stop by to wish her a happy birthday. Who is she? It's Carol at Brown Quilts 4 Me.

Happy Birthday, Carol, I hope you have a wonderful day.

And, then take a few minutes to visit Accuquilt - they're having a huge "Black Friday" sale. WooHoo!!!



Enjoy your day!

BOM Craziness

*
I spent Sunday with my sewing machine :-)
*
First I made the October and November blocks for the Designer Mystery Block of the Month. All six blocks are assembled with cornerstones and sashing. woohoo! :-)

I stitched the latest Annie blocks (Aug & Sept) by Cleo & Me and spent Sunday sewing the 30's strips around the stitcheries. woohoo!

And I finished stitching the Snowbound blocks by Bunny Hill Designs for Kelly(red) and Terry (blue). They should have been in the mail on Monday but I've been a bit lazy. They WILL go out tomorrow. :-)

So, I'm feeling a bit smug with myself because I'm caught up. BIG Woohoo!!!!!
*
I hope you're having a good week. I still find it hard to believe that we're only one week away from Thanksgiving Day - sigh!
*
Thank you bunches & bunches for stopping by to visit. Come again soon.
