Goodie Goodie!
I got a package in the mail saturday…
RED SNAPPERS!! only fellow quilters would be thrilled like me over red plastic tubing 🙂
I decided to follow the video and long arm the casing/ sleeve on the leaders.
But they are ON and work great 🙂
Before I put the snappers on, I finished Sonja’s carseat mini tumbler quilt, it looks great.
I just quilted a curve from corner to curner on all the blocks and copied that on the border as well
While I pieced the tumbler quilt I finished all the drunkard’s path blocks, but I don’t know if it’s flimsy fabric, the cutting or ironing, but the blocks are kind of wonky!
so I decided to trim them even more wonky, I layered 3 DP blocks randomly and used my 6 1/2″ ruler and trimmed down to that and randomly piled them all together too, so when I sew the blocks together, they are ALSO very random… maybe it’ll look great, maybe it will look like junk, we’ll see!
This is the next women of the bible BOW = Lot’s wife.
I knew the story about how they ran away and she turned to look back and then turned into a pillar of salt! I picked the closest white fabric in this CT collection that looked like specks of salt and found a pale one and one a little brighter, then I picked blues- I don’t know why, I just liked them
The floral and check I also just thought looked good with it 🙂
again my block is 8 1/2″ (8″ when done)
Today, after I installed the red snappers, I quilted a customer’s two baby “I spy” quilts, it was fun to figure out how to load a quilt this new way
and I decided on the blue one, that BASTING is the way to go, I had tried it a long time ago and didn’t like it, but tried it this time and it was easy and looked great, so I’m doing that from now on!
Did you miss seeing a picture of PEANUT? now that a certain little princess is stealing the limelight?
This little green princess, for once in GREEN 🙂 the little green hoodie was so cute, but no sleeves to I put a white onesie under it, then she looked like a little hip hop chick! LOL
recently she found the birds and bugs that spin around above her head and play music, fascinating!
Two cute princesses and lots of lovely quilts – such a great post.
Oh how fun. I love your posts. Salt'ish fabric? Super! A dog replaced by a baby? Awe. Sleeping away, which is what I'd be doing if I had to keep up with your pace! A car quilt for the babe to watch? Super! And the look on her face watching that mobile? OMG. Doesn't get any better! Blessing to you and yours.
Oh, I LOVE that last photo of the little princess–so cute!
So busy you are as always girl! I just don't know how you do it. The tumbler quilt is really cute, interesting in seeing your DP done (especially since I don't get along well with that one) and the I Spys are sweet. You'll have to explain the Basting difference for me some time.Have a great day!
Great post. I love the quilts and your two princesses. Your daughter is so beautiful.
I have some red snappers too, well mine are white since I bought the generic version not catered towards quilters (much cheaper for the same product)They are easy to use. I hat pinning, it takes me forever. Did you see that I finally got my longarm? well midarm, an HQ 16. I know I had asked you lots of questions about your voyager. I just happened to find a good deal (less than the voyager set up) nearby.
Beautiful quilts. Cute little one. What are red snappers? for?
Such cute minis!!! I have not worked with the red snappers but i hear they are amazing! I am only able to use time on a friend's machine, so unless she decides to start using them I will have to wait until I have my own to try them :*)
Sonja's little tumbler quilt is really cute! I like the wonky drunkard's path blocks too. I have no idea what the red tubes do……are you basting on your longarm? Cute little princess's!! Thanks for sharing.Freemotion at the River Linky Party Tuesday
