It has been a while since I have blogged on here. Most days I've been posting to instagram, and my blog has suffered for it. Starting in January, I will be posting here again as well. Although I've not posted here, I have been busy and have had many life moments to happen.</i></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>We are now empty nesters, with both of my younger children going to college and graduating. They have both chosen to stay in TX, where they have jobs and apartments. My son is engaged and will be getting married this coming June, so a lot to look forward to. This January will mark the four year anniversary that my lovely dad left this earth to be with the Lord. My mom is hanging in there and we celebrated her 86th birthday this past August. My oldest daughter and her family are doing well. The boys, Riddick and Whizzer are doing good as well.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>As for quilting and stitching, I have been continuing both. With covid and the lockdowns, I have made quilts, fabric books, stitcheries and worked on the seemingly endless ufo pile. Which has been nice to see dwindling down over this past year. Yay for a smaller ufo basket to work from!</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>My sweetheart and I just celebrated 32 years of marriage! It's been a wonderful ride so far and we are looking forward to the next 32 years!</i></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i>That's pretty much an update on what has been happening in my world since my last post. I'll be back on January first to start the new year off with a post. So, if your still interested in my blog, I will see you then. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!</i></span></p>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04778881951560644932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368724921022357161.post-10579020878119240732019-04-09T13:14:00.000-05:002019-04-09T13:14:23.165-05:00New Project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I've started a new project with some previous pieces. These were originally going to be separate pieces. As they sat waiting for inspiration on how to stitch these to canvas, they decided that they would become one. The theme is hearts and circles. There will be organic free form stitching and added cloth patches to this. There is a private story told in this work and I'm ok with that. I've decided not to explain the reasons behind this what if project, just to let it evolve from the heart. I have no set design in mind or time to finish. As the cloth evolves and speaks to me I will listen to the gentleness of the cloths voice and wrap it up when complete.</span></i>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04778881951560644932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368724921022357161.post-42962790996158476062018-09-28T16:09:00.001-05:002018-09-28T16:09:23.533-05:00The Boys<p dir="ltr">Both my sweetboys are being super lazy today.</p>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>My sweet husband bought me a new Juki TL 2010Q at Christmas because my Bernina stopped working right before the holidays. I had this quilt block laying around in my ufo pile for a lonnnnnng time and decided to go ahead and break the new machine in by quilting it. I love how it turned out. And my new machine, wow, wow, wow! This machine will fly and is a workhorse. I absolutely love it. I have been wanting this machine forever and a day, so this is what I chose. It only does a straight stitch and that is fine with me. The Bernina will be going into the hospital to be fixed soon, now that I am able to drive and move around a bit. I am hoping it can be fixed as it will be great if I need to zig zag or want to use those fancy stitches on it. If not, I can always use the Pfaff that the hubster picked up at a yard sale a few years ago. Hope you are having a great day.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I noticed that I had not posted what I had made and sent out to my partner in the Secret Santa Sack swap this past year. My partner has a year round tree and she wanted some fall ornaments, so I made her these to go along with the bowl cozies, which are reversible and coasters that I made for her. I really enjoyed making all of these for her and she was happy to receive them.</i></span>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04778881951560644932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368724921022357161.post-91056274023069051112018-03-27T14:53:00.001-05:002018-03-27T14:53:51.196-05:00Finally A Post!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I hope all my readers are still here. I have been sick with two types of flu since December 27th of 2017 and am also dealing with four herniated discs in my back. The last flu has taken me five weeks to get over and I am still very tired. I had a block on my L4 and L5 the middle of January. Which has helped tremendously with my lower back. However, the upper back at T11 and T12 where there is involvement with my spinal cord, those two herniated discs along with the bone degeneration is knarly at times. I was prescribed a tense unit and have had massive amounts of physical therapy, which is helping, but it is slow go. The surgeon and I are trying to keep me from having to have surgery. I'm getting better, just wanted to finally post on the blog. Most of my posting since Christmas has been on insta gram as it is so easy with the phone. I am on the mend now and will try to post regularly again. My yard is in full spring bloom mode at the moment, even though it is still dropping into the 30's at night here. March has come in like a lion with high winds and cold breezes. I'm happy to be feeling much better. I do have a quilty post for tomorrow so hope to see you here. Have a blessed and wonderful day!</i></span>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04778881951560644932noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368724921022357161.post-41812453478319702092017-12-29T21:08:00.003-06:002017-12-29T21:08:52.329-06:00Secret Santa Swap 2017<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<i style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone, I do hope your Christmas was a wonderful time with family and friends. We had a wonderful Christmas dinner with our family, which for us was missing one important member this year my dad. This was our first Christmas without him and it was really hard on all of us, but we made it through sharing memories and stories of past Christmases. Then on Monday night I was hit by a nasty virus that has kept me in bed until today and my son came home from work on Wednesday night with the same thing. Not fun at all. Today I have been able to keep down a bit of yogurt and pedia lite for kids. That's it. Better days ahead. Now on to the good part of this post. This is my swap parcel from my partner for the SSCS 2017. We make one ornament and a gift for our partner then send it out and wait patiently for Christmas to arrive....</span></i></div>

<i style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone, I do hope your Christmas was a wonderful time with family and friends. We had a wonderful Christmas dinner with our family, which for us was missing one important member this year my dad. This was our first Christmas without him and it was really hard on all of us, but we made it through sharing memories and stories of past Christmases. Then on Monday night I was hit by a nasty virus that has kept me in bed until today and my son came home from work on Wednesday night with the same thing. Not fun at all. Today I have been able to keep down a bit of yogurt and pedia lite for kids. That's it. Better days ahead. I should have posted sooner, but just opened this on today. Look at my beautiful ornament and table runner that <a href="http://maria-lifeontheblock.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Maria</a> made for me! Absolutely stunning is all I can say about both. I joined SSCS 2017 this year. I have participated in all but one of these and I always enjoy swapping and making a new friend. One of my favorite swaps. I will post tomorrow what I sent ou</span></i><i style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">t to my partner. Thank you Chooky for another great swap.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>My tree for this year is up and decorated. Not my big tree this year in the living room, just a smaller tree. My sweet Bliss purchased this purple tree for me several years ago. I decided on white and silver theme for this tree, which is actually the tree for my bedroom. This year with my back issues I am minimally decorating for Christmas this year. I love how this tree looks with all the ornaments placed about. One of my favorite items is the lace poinsettias that I found for this tree. They remind me of the lace I have learned to make from my classes with Karen Ruane. You can find her <a href="http://karenannruane.typepad.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. I hope each of you have a wonderful and Merry Christmas this year! May your home be filled with love, happiness and much joy during this happy season!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Jazmine and Auntie Bliss playing in the snow before coming in and eating some snowcream that I made for them. They had so much fun making snow angles, a snowman and rolling around the yard in all that snow. They were soaking wet and cold when they finally came in after dark. Both of them had such a wonderful time playing in the snow. I laughed while making these short pics and a video of them rolling around in the snow. Today was such a wonderful and relaxing day for all of us.</i></span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">I hope you enjoyed all of my winter wonderland pics on today. I know there were a whole lot of them, but we hardly ever get snow like this in the deep south. I love it when it does happen and make as many pics of it as I can. We ended up getting eight inches in my area and it will take a few days of temps above the 30's to see it all melt, but for right now it is so beautiful and I love it! Hope you have some unexpected beauty in your life on today.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Fall is arriving in small amounts here in the south. Leaves are falling, fungi is flourishing and the grass is beginning to go dormant for the winter ahead. My azaleas and other blooming plants however are still producing blooms like crazy! I now have six more bushes that are full of buds and starting to flower. They did not bloom in spring because we had three consecutive days of heavy frost/ice that killed all the buds even on the fruit trees. Now that fall is here, my plants are blooming quite crazily! I am hoping this is not a trend starting with these plants. I really prefer the blooms to be in the spring. But, I will take them however they decide to bloom. With hurricane Nate it brought in very muggy, humid air to add to the heat. Now I am hoping the temps will lower and bring in cooler non humid days for us. We have the leaf color change and they are falling, just need the cooler air now. Hope your world is filled with what you love!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>A bit of knitting going on here, but otherwise no stitching or quilting at the moment. That will change this week hopefully as my back is so much better. I never realized how long it takes to knit something big :) I am using up yarn that my daughter and I bought to crochet with, but it is smaller than we like to use. I hate to just toss it out, so am knitting a scrappy blanket with it instead. I started out changing colors every few rows, but this left loads of ends to weave in. I am now using the whole cake of yarn and then changing the color. Much better in my humble opinion. The earlier rows will be the top edge of the blanket so that will be helpful. The brand of yarn is style craft and it is soft, just not what we expected when we ordered it. It is just not what we like to crochet with. My boys are lazing around today as it is overcast and rain is in the forecast. Hope your day is blessed and your needle filled with thread.:)</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I have made more blocks for the 2020 Crazy Quilt Challenge that Sharon Boggon has put out to all crazy quilters, she can be found here: <a href="http://pintangle.com/2020-crazy-quilt-guidelines/">http://pintangle.com/2020-crazy-quilt-guidelines/</a>. I am currently working on the last of the hexagons for the center flower medallion for my quilt. I am trying to decide if I want to back them with the black for a pop or put them together like I normally would. Any suggestions would be appreciated at this point. I love how the black pops against the colors and makes the flower petal stand out. I think the black lifts it a bit compared to the ones with no black at this point. The other issue I am contemplating is whether or not to use have hexies as fillers or allow the fabric for the next layer be the filler. And with that comes the question of do I crazy them up or just use solid fabric as a filler. So many decisions to contemplate and then decide on. Normally I would wait a bit, but this will also have a part in determining how I go forward with the other sections of this medallion quilt. I have been looking at vintage and antique crazies on the web, but have not found anything to compare with what is in my mind. I guess I will need to draw it out on paper and then go from there.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Block 2 of my 2020 Challenge is now completely embellished and is waiting on backing. I have decided to embellish several before putting the individual backing on each block. I am undecided at this point if I will make the whole quilt hexagons or maybe make it like a medallion quilt and use it as the center piece of the quilt. Still mulling it over. If I do decide to use these as a center medallion it will make it much easier to unpick just the one with backing instead of having to unpick seven or more. I love how this block has turned out. I did have trouble getting started after putting the little lizard siggy on here, but I finally had a spurt of creative juice and went with it. I love how this block came together. The pics really do not give the block justice for the bold and saturated colors. It has been rain filled days here and taking pics is not easy in the gray light.</i></span><br />

<i>This shows five generations of girls in our brood. The eldest and first generation is Mom of course with me being the second generation standing behind her in the blue tunic. Next is my daughter Frostie which is my oldest sitting next to mom and then Bliss is standing next to me which makes the third generation. Next is Kristian who is standing next to Bliss who is holding Jazmine who are the fourth generation. Last but not least is Kayle and McKenzie which are the fifth generation! We were waiting on William Bruce to make his appearance into the world (which he did this week :) ) We seem to have an abundance of girls in our family and low volume of boys. My son was the first born in 36 yrs when he came along. My sister has one son, her daughter has one son, and my oldest daughter has one son and her daughter just had a son. The rest are all girls.</i></div>

<i>This is my brood minus the hubster who is working out of state at the moment. My son who is directly behind me is my youngest and has the honor of being the first boy in 36yrs. (let me add he was the first on both my side and my husbands side 32yrs) He is named after both his grandpas and they were so happy to have a boy in the brood after so long. My brother has all girls and one grandson with three granddaughters. So the trend is continuing for having girls. Bliss my middle daughter is standing next to me. The rest of these belong to Frostie and her husband who is behind her. Of course Payton died at birth and would have been the second son to be born into the family for Frostie. Jazmine is the youngest of course of Frosties. Her son is the tall one in the back being 6'3" at only 17. Then Kristian and her husband and two littles.</i></div>

<i>Mom and Bliss being silly together! Mom is such a good sport. Bliss wanted a funny face pic with her and she was happy to do so. Those two had a great time making funny faces.</i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>We celebrated my moms 83rd birthday on Saturday August 26th. We had such a fun time with her during the party. It was nice to get together with her and the family to celebrate the matriarch of our family. A good time was had by all. There was cake, cupcakes, food and fun. We missed dad a great deal as this is another first without him, but we shared memories and felt him near as we gathered as a family. Mom was so surprised that we pulled it off without her finding out. Especially since the littles in the family cannot keep a secret (and one or two of the adults as well :) ) Yet, she did not find out and was truly surprised! My mom is the strongest woman that I know and it was awesome being able to do this for her. My sister and I planned and plotted and it all came together in the end with one surprised mom and two happy siblings. Hope your day was as fun and filled with love as mine was! Until next time!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Block two is ready to be stitched and embellished to the ninth degree...I am looking forward to embellishing this block with stitch and beading this go round. Below is the finished block #1 after the backing fabric was added. There will be more stitched to this as the blocks are put together at a later date. I have ten more blocks cut out and ready to start stitching on. Each block will be completely hand stitched from start to finish. No machine work at all for these blocks. That is my personal challenge for this project. Now, lets get a cuppa and start stitching on block two!</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I love how this block turned out...I do want to address something here though...I posted this block on a site and a comment was made that really irked me and it takes a lot to irritate me, but this comment did. Here is what the person wrote in the comments section "I love that you are doing all by hand. I wonder if the white piece might look better tea dyed to off set the starkness...just sayen" Those are her exact words...first if you cannot say something nice, don't leave a comment. Don't start out nice and then be critical. Secondly its not your block and you have no idea why the little doily was left white. Thirdly negative comments no matter how nicely couched are hurtful, so don't write them. I did comment back that the little doily was my grans, therefore I did not want to change the look of it. I know how stark it stands out against all the color. This is not my first experience with crazy quilting. I have been crazy quilting since the early 90's and have a great understanding of color and blending as I also come from a long line of artists. At the same time, this block holds special meaning with my nod to my gran. I don't need to tone down the starkness of the doily to fit in with the block. It fits perfectly on the block. Why would I want to change something that holds special meaning to me? I wouldn't. I did not ask for constructive criticism on this block. I did not ask for someone else's idea of perfect for my block. Yes, I could have put this on a white on white block or toned it down to blend better with the glorious color on the block, but then it would have changed the meaning of the doily. My gran was a prolific sane quilter and I am sure she would love this little nod to her. I inherited this doily when I was in my early 20's. I have kept it as pristine as the day it was given to me. No way was I going to change a precious item that was my grans. The white speaks of the starkness of loss that is inherent in all the colorful ways life interacts with us on a daily basis. My gran was a most lovely lady and loved us all with a very big heart. When she passed, she left a starkness in our lives that can never be filled by anyone else. As I said before, the white doily has meaning to me and I am fine with the starkness of the white on all the color. The only opinion that matters at the end of the day is mine anyhow. I just had to get this off my chest and as this has been a very hard day as today is my dads birthday and the first one since his death. And I am sure that the little nods that I put into this crazy quilt for those who have gone on will puzzle some people to no end. But, at the end of the day as long as I know why it is there and what the reasoning is behind it is all that matters. Oh, there will be more of these precious stark white doilies in this quilt, just so you know! :)</i></span>Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04778881951560644932noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368724921022357161.post-15395663180403175712017-08-17T14:21:00.000-05:002017-08-17T14:22:36.413-05:00New Crazy Quilt Challenge for 2020<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<i><span style="font-size: large;">This is the start of a new crazy quilt for a challenge that Sharon Boggin of <a href="http://pintangle.com/">http://pintangle.com/</a> has put out for all those who love to crazy quilt. This is a long term project ending on Dec. 31, 2020. You can find all the details and guidelines about the challenge here: <a href="http://pintangle.com/2">http://pintangle.com/2</a><a href="http://pintangle.com/2020-crazy-quilt-guidelines/" target="_blank">020-crazy-quilt-guidelines/</a> I have chosen to make hexagons for my project and will join them at a later date. I think this is very doable given the timeline involved. I will be keeping a stitching journal as well to document my progress as I work on each block. The challenge is to use 2020 different items on your crazy quilt. This can be fabrics, stitches, beads, buttons, laces, trims, motifs, silk ribbon embroidery etc. The goal is to have 2020 different items on your crazy quilt when completed. No duplicates of what you count. You can read more about the challenge on the above link.</span></i><br />
