After watching the movie "Driving Miss Daisy" one night, I decided that quilting is what really drives me. So hence the name of my blog.Staceyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03732650625722793875noreply@blogger.comBlogger278125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952644344633527414.post-373789458384604292015-08-08T15:01:00.000-04:002015-11-07T16:27:10.613-05:00Scrap Happy Saturday<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's all about the color indigo this month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not have a lot indigo in my scrap stash but I managed to come up with these few blocks. They are as close as I could get to indigo. I like the Roosevelt's Bow Tie block best. It went together super fast. I like it a lot. It's shown front and center. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to do some tweaking with the cutting instructions for the center Bullseye Block for it to finish at 6 1/2 inches. It's the one on the far right. I just switched my center block to a 2 1/2 inch square and adjusted my strips accordingly. Easy Peasy. No Problem. </div>

I'm using a new technique I found. No-Waste flying geese. I found it at Generations Quilt Patterns website. I like it for small units. My blocks are 6 1/2 inch. <br />

<br />
Today I am brave enough to share with you some of my Stars in a Time Warp blocks. I am trying to make three blocks for each color/fabric that Barbara Brackman selects with her quilt along. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For many years I collected Civil War fabrics. I got some bug up my you know what once and decided to sell them all. Lately, seeing of the talented bloggers showcasing their blocks, along with the Barbara Brackman's Stars in a Time Warp quilt-along, got me thinking that I really should make another Civil War quilt. I told my friend Vic, <a href="http://victoria-carroll-parkhill.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">who blogs here,</a> that I wanted my fabrics back. She knew I was just kidding. But you know what? She sent me a fantastic assortment of prints. The purple prints she sent me are amazing. She also made me a wonderful lavender sachet which makes everything smell delightful in my sewing room. </div>

I am learning so much about the history of fabric coloration techniques, locations and history of many quilt styles. How fashions dictated what would be used in quilts at a particular time, the history of the women who created some of these marvelous treasures. </div>

I am not having any problems digging into my stash for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colors. It seems I have bits and pieces of every color in the rainbow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are my two blocks for April. You can see what all the fuss is about over <a href="http://superscrappy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. Angela works up a great tutorial for each 6 inch center block twice a month. Then we finish it up with a Sawtooth star. Which when done right, should finish at 12 inches. I'm sure there will be a bit of tugging and fudging when I get to the point of putting them all together. </div>

I love it when I am super productive. Each month I'm making a Scrap Jar Star Quilt from the designated color. I need 12 blocks for a baby-sized quilt. </div>

Well it's started. The ACC Basketball Tournament March Madness is here! I heard a little news trivia this morning that businesses lose $2 billion in lost employee productivity during the playoffs. You can't get away from it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my March Madness version. My design wall. It's loaded with projects. I layered it as I completed each project this weekend. </div>

A few years back I made a bunch of small string quilts. They really were too small to be of any use. So, I made them bigger. They're now about 40 x 45.</div>

What happened to our glorious sunshine from this weekend?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to admit to you all that I am a bit weather obsessed. I'm always watching the Weather Channel and checking all my apps when there's a forecast for anything different. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Growing up in Los Angeles, 75 degrees and sunny was the norm. Well, it sure is different here in the Old Tar Heel State. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wait 10 minutes and something different will blow in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's not a bit of sun predicted for the entire week. </div>

So I got a little carried away this weekend with my yellows. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made stacks and stacks of yellow strips for my </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
16-Patch quilts. Each month I am making a 16-patch Quilt (color to be determined <a href="http://superscrappy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>) of the Scrappy Jar Stars to give away to my favorite organization which need baby quilts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also found an old set of blocks from the French Rose raggedy trend that was going on way back. </div>

The theme this week is "home"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We get our inspiration from <a href="http://porchswingquilts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jennie</a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being from the South and all, I thought I'd share my favorite time of year at my home. </div>

Fall is my favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Home is a place where I'm so glad my kids always feel comfortable coming back to. Home is having my husband home from a business trip. Home is the gathering that happens around our kitchen table. Home is roasting fall veggies. Making huge dinners. Making drinks and enjoying the fine weather out in our screened porch. Nothing could be finer in Carolina. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There used to be a lot of these old barns. Now, they're either a crumbled heap of great wood for DIY projects or new housing developments that took their place. </div>

I thoroughly enjoyed myself this week.</div>

The hubster was in Texas this week. I spent hardly any time in the kitchen. I used my bread machine to make some egg challah and brought out the new crockpot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a fabulous dish of Indian Chicken Korma.</div>

You know, I've been married for 32 years and never used a crockpot. What was I waiting for? It's terrific. I was always a stay-at-home mom and thought slow cookers were for moms that worked outside the house. My neighbor gave me a copy of the Cooking Light Slow Cooker to the Rescue book. Wow! Was I wrong. </div>

I cut the papers approximately 8 x 5. I sew out from the middle on each side, tear my paper off, press, starch, then square down to 4 1/2 x 8. </div>

I am making two quilts this month with my pink stash. One 16-Patch that alternates with pink and white and the other 16-patch is just all pinks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm trying to decide if I want to make both quilts with sashing. When you leave out the sashing, you get a secondary square block which I do like. See it up there on the lower right of my collage? </div>

Here it is with the sashing. I decided to do one with and one without. </div>

When you do use sashing, you get the nine-patch secondary design.</div>

Making these blocks were like candy to me. Skittles or Sour Patch Kids. Those are my downfall, handfuls of them. Oh, Starbursts too. I just couldn't stop at just one. I had to double the batch of blocks. I like making these bow ties so much, I think I'll make a little quilt with my beloved Amy Butler or Flea Market Fancy scraps that I <strike>hording </strike>saving. </div>

Teeny tiny 1 1/2 inch unfinished HST's are a challenge. My feed dogs are eating the corners of my blocks when I am chain piceing. They also need a good pressing. You should also see the floor of my sewing room. Tiny clippings of the dog ears everywhere. On second thought no one is allowed in there. </div>

With the start of the new year, it's time to think about what I want to accomplish with my fabric stash. I want to be very busy this year. I've decided to use up my stash as much as I can. You know that saying "You can't take it with you when you die"? I once read somewhere on a blog that you've never seen a trailer full of fabric at a funeral being buried along with the deceased person. Whether it's quilts to give away or keep for myself, this year it's going to be about getting a <i>LOT </i>done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've decided to join as many quilt-alongs as I can possibly manage. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all the talk about modern quilting and that how orange is the new black, I couldn't resist and made a bunch of these adorable pincushions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.sewfarsewgoodquiltshop.com/item_1303/Modern-Quilters-Pincushion.htm" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.sewfarsewgoodquiltshop.com/item_1303/Modern-Quilters-Pincushion.htm" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWbUyAHrnzio08EFEPkMUp2CipMzOLr3_rs-h7BfMX36uMujcW6Vitz2cusZFYGDB8yuISVF7F6UQH1n0zxbpELiikAwBNh5RRMJhWfQoMD6bj77se78gafq3c8BftUIqQeL2WTWa72Q4/s1600/A+modern+girls+pincushion+w:matermark300.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am changing my fabric preferences in mid-life. I am just smitten with all the new bright florals, prints, geometric prints, quadfoils, and white background quilt patterns. I don't think I will never tire of Flea Market Fancy and some of my beloved shabby fabrics though, but dang it! I don't like my fabric stash anymore. </div>

There's not a lot of Disney happening around here. Those days have long passed. I do remember our Friday night specials from way back though. Our kids would each stake out their favorite place on the floor in front of the TV with their bowl of popcorn and watch The Lion King. Every night for years. Oh, of course, sometimes we switched it up and we'd watch Beauty and the Beast. <br />
<br />
Animation sure has changed. When I look at the images from back then, they seem so boring to me now. Since I didn't like the images I found, I thought I'd share the next best thing. <br />

<br />
Yes .... Summer is drawing to an end. To be honest, I've had enough of the heat and humidity. The constant buzz of the cicadas in the trees. I am ready for the cool crispness of fall, apples and pumpkins.<br />
<br />
The only thing that I am not ready for is to put away my white capris, sandals and summer purses. Wearing white is a no-no after Labor Day. It's a Southern thang!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of the last minute summer sips I am thinking of making this weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sangria is my favorite. </div>

Other than cranking up the grill and cooking an amazing Montreal marinated roast for when my kids come on over, I'm retreating and sewing all weekend. <br />

"It's a new, fun linky party where you get to play with color. Mondays can be so blah, so boring, so overwhelming, that I thought it might be fun to brighten them up with color".</div>

Try it. It's addictive.</div>

Thinking in purple today, one of my favorite colors actually, I dug out this quilt I made a few years back. I used lots of Amy Butler and Kaffee Fassett fabrics. It's super easy and really showcases large prints. It's called Simply Delightful by Quilting Belle.

We're having a bumper crop of eggplant here. Basil and Hot Peppers too!
In the spring, I saw this incredible planter at Whole Foods. I asked if
there was a way that I could get one. They had no clue. But it was
definitely not for sale. Someone from their home office just came,
built it and left. </div>

I knew I needed one. Our backyard is pretty shaded. Our deck gets the most sunshine. Deer are constantly munching on my plants in the ground and my back hurts when I garden too long. One of my friend's contractor son made this planter on wheels for me. </div>

A few kids are sledding down our hill. <br />
We have the best hill in the neighborhood.<br />
They seem to love it when its dark. There will be no plows around here for a while, if at all. That just doesn't happen here. <br />

The bread and milk aisles were almost empty at the grocery store when I got there around 3 o'clock this afternoon. The check-out lines were about 30-35 minutes long. Typical for a storm of this magnitude. We haven't had a storm of this strength since 2000. That was the "Blizzard of the Century." </div>

I stated working on my quilt right around the beginning of January. It's been a pretty neat winter here for me. I love the cold and I love the snow. When we get the white powdery stuff here in the South, life stops. I don't go out anywhere and make-do with what food and goodies we have here. </div>
