Life goes on, I have lost the ability to create, it has just disappeared, occasionally I get a little glimpse, especially when I am away from my stuff, but when I am back to the machine, it has disappeared again.<br />
I did manage to do a book for a new grandson, and a little quilt for another new grandson.<br />

It has been positively ages since I posted and I really have no idea what I have made in the last three months. So these photos are what I could find.<br />
I made the balloon dress for my oldest Granddaughter for her 6th Birthday, which was yesterday, so no photo of that yet,<br />
The Red and White Just take 2 centre is done, I am not sure whether it will get a border yet, it is already pretty big. <br />
And the little bag at the bottom was for my son who likes to throw all his change in a big plastic jug, He has gone travelling and I thought the little bag would work for the change.<br />

My mojo did appear a few days ago, I just had to make a bag, I am still working on getting it quite right, but here is the result. I had cane round handles that were where the whole idea stemmed from, but they just did not go with the black and white.<br />

I had a <strike>request</strike> order from my Mother in law to make a bag for her friend for Christmas, It is done, twice. The first time I made the handles the size the pattern said and that was too short according to the boss. So unpicked it all and redid them and made them heaps longer (6") I added pockets two on the outside and one inside, plus a tab to hang the car keys off (top of bag on the left).<br />
<br />
I discovered it hurts a lot when one sticks a brand new unpicker in their thumb.

While I was away at my Daughters house a big parcel arrived in the mail, and when I finally opened it this is what I found.<br />
<br />
It is beautiful, exquisite, and so much work has gone into it. All the lovely ladies on my Craft Forum "conspired" and made if for me. So far I have cried everytime I type about it. But I want to say thank you again.<br />
<br />
All in my favourite colour of blue too!!Margaritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11152469586491975527noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885736751843841678.post-16429140564612151272012-11-15T11:11:00.001+11:002012-11-15T11:11:05.272+11:00Where has my Mojo goneThere is nix,nothing, zilch happening here, I just dont want to. My MIL wants me to make a bag for her friend for Christmas, I have the fabric the pattern and all the other instructions for doing it her way, but I just can't be bothered.<br />
<br />
I have just spent a lovely week with my eldest daughter and her family, enjoyed shopping , looked at heaps of stuff, but absolutely nothing jumped out at me and became the start of something new.<br />
<br />
My sewing machine is buried under heaps of stuff, so all that needs tidying as well.<br />
<br />
It is not just the sewing that is gone, housework, is by the way, and I bought a new bit of furniture and it is just sitting where it go put after it came out of the car, no mojo there either.<br />
<br />
<br />
Before the MOJO left I did make a small lap quilt for <a href="http://www.arbeedesigns.com/" target="_blank">Arbee Designs</a>.<br />
I do the occasional pattern testing for them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here it is, It is called 'Star Struck Hearts', it is now in the huge pile of stuff that needs quilting. Again no Mojo.<br />

I have started, as you can see there is a drawer missing, I have gotten all the paint off that, it looks great.<br />
<br />
A few years ago I did a similar one.<br />

There it is behind all my mess on the sewing table. I do have a better photo somewhere (just not sure where I filed it)<br />
Anyhow the new one will look just as good. I am not sure what I will do with it once it is done, but I will worry about that then.<br />

This is now a rag, but I have it on an old lounge and the youngest poodle thinks it is a fine place to chew here bones so it need a wash (fell apart a bit more with that).<br />
Here is a photo of it slung across the clothes line, it was too heavy to hang properly, so I let it dry a bit first and then rearranged it.<br />
It was made out of used (second hand) fleecy fabric, I put the fleecy part on the outside. double sided and fitted our queen size bed. It kept us warm for many years. There was no quilting, just two sides sewn together, lol this was before I knew what quilting actually was though, this was to keep warm.Margaritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11152469586491975527noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885736751843841678.post-41369420769380921242012-09-19T09:17:00.001+10:002012-09-19T09:17:37.402+10:00Eeeek I just realized that I haven't been in here for ages, so much has happened in the last few months, my Mum passed away after a few years with dementia, a release for her, and my husband also passed away after being bedridden with Multiple Sclerosis for a lot of years, also a release for him, but a terrible shock for the rest of us.<br />
<br />
I am not writing this to get sympathy, just so that "I" know in future what was happening, I do this blog so I can keep track of what I am up to, and also to show my on line friends.<br />
<br />
So on that note I will just put up lots of photos of what I have been
doing, sewing was a reprieve in the middle of everything else. <br />

A bag which I found in bits in an op shop, all the pattern and pieces where there, just had to be put together.<br />

Another red and white block, this one was supposed to be a boat, but I don't want boats on my quilt so I made a patched heart instead.<br />

This will be a table runner, it may still get a little larger, still thinking on that, it is made from strips that are then cut to make the shapes, unfortunately I can't remember where I saw it being shown. I think it was a u-tube.<br />

<br />
This is not a block from the Just Takes 2 BOM, this is one that I made to replace one that I just did not like.<br />
The second quarter of the quilt is now put together, for those that are also making this, it is my style, any blocks that I don't like I am removing and replacing with something else.<br />
I also goofed badly with the big one bottom right of number two photo, I made it the wrong size, so it is now on point with a teeny border round it. The reason it got to be the wrong size, is totally my own fault, I am transferring (drawing) the patterns into EQ and using the rotary cutting instructions in there. I got the size wrong, but Hey it is my quilt, and it will be different to all the others.<br />

This is what the second quarter looks like, there are also a few blocks left over which I thought was sort of strange.<br />
<br />
I do not like the way everything is paper pieced, and the huge wastage of fabric.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This is the way it is supposed to look. Notice that the aeroplanes did not make it into mine either.<br />

I love to play with EQ, I found the top block on the Patchwork times blog, Where Judy Laquidara is making Nicole's Sofa quilt. I loved the symmetry of the block so had to have a play with it. I added the second block, I had to draw that one myself, and this is what I came up with. At the moment I am so in love with red and white.<br />

This quilt started out as an experiment, I liked the centre block, so then added to it, I might add here to that it was just fat quarters that I had and the light colour is calico. There are now three different colour grays in it.Margaritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11152469586491975527noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885736751843841678.post-18424985645154959122012-04-24T19:00:00.001+10:002012-04-24T19:00:47.215+10:00Is it going to work for me this time?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been following the Just Take 2 BOM, and working along trying really hard to keep up, Last week I dedicated a few days to finish the first quarter. This is what I have ended up with.<br />
Now if you are also making this you will see that there are a couple of blocks in here that should not be, that is because I became frustrated with what I had made and decided that it was just not good enough and so I made my own. It is the hand piecing that is not working for me.<br />
<br />
Anyway........ I am happy with what I have made, the feathered star especially and the applique one in the bottom right hand corner (which by the way I did with vliesofix and blanket stitch on the machine)<br />
<br />
This one is certainly testing my staying power, and since I have finished this quarter there has been new blocks put up, which I cant start because my printer is out of ink. This is a very good excuse and I am sticking to it.Margaritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11152469586491975527noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885736751843841678.post-35552887114980842352012-04-07T22:24:00.002+10:002012-04-07T22:24:59.984+10:00More Blocks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And this one is called "Star Medallion" .<br />
<br />The original pattern was made with Floral Fabric, but I was anxious to get started and I did not have enough floral to get the repeats so used the fishy one instead.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately neither of them is quilted yet<br />

This is my latest project, it is on going, all those little bits scattered everywhere are from my on going scrap box, normally I sort it all into colours when the box is full, bu this time I am going to do something else. I am not going to elaborate just yet, I will put up a new post when I get part one done. So far it is taking a lot longer than I expected.Margaritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11152469586491975527noreply@blogger.com4
