More Postcards and a Scripture Quilt

Here is a set of landscape postcards I have just finished for an exchange on Valerie Hearders yahoo groups. The postcard with the white mountain range is for my youngest DD. She wanted me to make her a postcard that looks like one of my landscape quilts that is hanging in my studio. I don't have any detail on the postcard yet, but will add the rock outcroppings with a fabric marker later. The beach scenes will also get some detail added with fabric markers before being mailed out.


This scripture quilt was made for a church friend who is dealing with cancer. The white patches have a scripture verse written with fabric marker, then I had other church members sign their names and write messages on the quilt. I designed a simple block to give lots of room for writing but still allowing lots of color. My goal was to make a cheerful, encouraging quilt.

Your landscape postcards look very pretty.

The quilt is gorgeous. Sometimes the simple ones turn out the best :) Lovely thought to have everyone contribute.

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
