Kreativ Quilter Award!

What a nice surprise to open my email this morning and find a message that I have been awarded the "Kreativ Quilter Award" by Susan at Desert Sky Quilts for my blog! Sooo exciting and such an honor! Please check out Susan's Desert Sky Quilts blog here.

The rules of the award are:

1. The winner may put the logo on her blog.

2. Put a link to the person you got the award from in your blog.

3. Nominate 5 blogs.

4. Put links to the blogs.

5. Leave a message for your nominees.

I read so many blogs and they are all creative so it was a tough choice for me to narrow it down to only 5. I finally narrowed it down to 5 blogs from artists who inspire me in some way and who haven't received this award before.

1. The Quilt Rambler - Karen Overton from Texas is a longarm quilter and teacher who has been displaced by Hurricane Ike. She inspires me with her creative quilting, love of purple, and her love of God. And not to mention her cute puppy, Pixie :D

2. Exuberant Color - Wanda S. Hanson from Northern Illinois. Her blog name says it all! Just looking at her colorful quilts makes me smile.

3. One of a Kind Fiberarts - Shirley Paterson from Calgary, Alberta is an artist in many different media. The realism in her landscape quilts and her generosity of teaching her art to others is an inspiration.

4. Quilts and Machine Quilting by Millie - Millie Kriel of Lake Jackson, TX is another longarm quilter who has been displaced by Ike. Her quilting is beautiful.

5. All Things Quilty - Jeanne Turner McBrayer from North Carolina is another longarm quilter and talented fiber artist whose work I admire.

Please visit these ladies' blogs and enjoy their art!

Shirley,
It is wonderful that so many people are showing their work on-line. It is very inspiring to see what other quilt artists are doing.
I too feel like we have become friends - something that would never have been possible without the internet!

Hi Susan,
what a treat to finally be able to connect to the internet today and upload my continuing saga of Ike and what a nice surprise to see that you nominated me for some sort of award - not sure I understand it all at this point, will have to review at another time since my time is limited on a borrowed computer (grin) but want to thank you for following my ramblings - which I soon hope to get off Ike and back on quilting!! hugs from soggy texas karen O

Log Cabin

I don't know the title of this quilt, but it is a Log Cabin Variation that I just completed for a customer. I love the soft blues and browns in this quilt.  It just begged for feathers. See what I mean? I did add a few leaves in the small border, though.

Zipper Leader Tutorial - Part 1

Image
I removed my old zippers yesterday and completed attaching my new zippers. Along the way I made 2 additional sets of zipper leaders so I have the ability to have 3 quilts ready to zip on if I need to. As promised, I took photos of the steps and will post them in stages. These directions are my own and you may be able to find other instructions out the internet. This is something I came up with on trial and error. The first set of zipper leaders I made were with garment zipper that you buy by the yard at a fabric store. They didn't work out the way I wanted. They kept separating on their own. So now I have 8 yards of zipper to use in other projects. First off you'll need some materials and supplies. 1. Canvas Duck - I purchased 4 yards of 60" wide canvas so I wouldn't have to seam the leaders. This is enough to make 5 sets of 2 leaders. Buy the length to match the length of your zippers. 2. Separating Zippers in the size of your choice - I purchased 144" long zippe

First Things First

Here is the first step in remodeling my quilting studio. We bought a folding table and a student chair on wheels so I now have a place for my sewing machine! I'm so excited. No more running up and down the stairs to sew, press, quilt, etc. Everything can now be done in the studio. My youngest can also play with her playdough on the table instead of on the cloth cover of my ironing board :o Of course I still don't have finished walls, but I can work in comfort all in one room until we get to that point. My DH and I priced drywall and other options for the walls this afternoon. Drywall is still our number 1 choice at this moment, but I wanted to see if we could find something that I could handle by myself and yet still be cost effective. Drywall sheets are too heavy for me to lift on my own and hang on the walls. Hubby's job is too hectic these days for him to take any time off to hang drywall and I'm getting anxious to complete the studio, so I thought we should try to f
