Remember my first jelly roll

Its been a long time I got my first jelly roll and started this project, almost a year.

And then a lot of things got in between. I guess a few of you can relate to the same problem.

A lot of UFO boxes.

Well with this Quilt its one box less and xxx to go. Lol. 

I kind of made a promise to my self to start and finish a UFO after every new project, not counting the single blocks for different swaps and so on lol.

So I went ahead to finish this Quilt so I can work on a new Bag I have in mind.

I know, I know, don't I have enough?. NO. There is always room for more .lol.

I hope I be able to show you the new bag pretty soon. On paper its looking good already. lol. So watch this space.

You all have a great day.

Memory's of Emil

 I finished a Quilt for my cousin. My Uncle passed away in February and I asked
Ute ( my cousin ) for some of his Shirts.

The pattern is called Light and shadow and I saw it on someone's Blog.

So I Worked out the pieces to cut ( I did not have a pattern) and of I went.
I really like the out come and hope it will be a nice memory for her, from her
Dad.

and  now Im going to work on the quilt I started with my 1st Jelly Roll. Its been in its box for already to much time. 

I probably never will get all my UFO's done because there is so much adding to it all the time. So I thought after every new projekt I need to finish a UFO. We will see if that will help getting rid of all the boxes holding UFOs. lol.

Baby Quilt

I know, I know, I said I would not start a new project and finish first my UFO's and my Wip's. Belive me there are plenty and I will get to all of them. But this little Girl just needs a Quilt.

Keeley's Birds

She is soo cute and tiny. So this is what I came up with to brighten her Day and keep her warm. It went into the mail and I hope she will receive it soon.

Happy New Year - Yes I'm still around

Puhh, its been a long time again. I couldn't belive all the cobwebs and all the dust around this blog. Well I guess that's what I get for not coming around.

 

I have been working a lot. Lots of overtime but the money comes in handy to support my habit (fabric) lol.

And I did do a bit of sewing, but I was not able to show it  to you if I did not want to spoil the surprise.

But here are now some pictures.

this Quilt I did for my parents. They loved it very much!

and this is a memory Quilt I helped my DIL to make for her parents. Its done with T-shirts and Shirt from her Brother.He passed away 1/2 year ago.  

a Christmas Stocking

and a few other little Things I did not take a picture of. (Senior Moments) Sorry.

Then there are a few WIP 

a new Lap Quilt for my Nephew. He got a new Seat cover for his Wheel chair. So this Lap Quilt fits the new Seat Cover. But it still needs to be quilted.


Last Tuesday the Girls where at my house to sew and we started a new projekt. It will be a Wall Hanging and it's called"In the Land of the little Quilts". We bought the pattern about 5 years ago and finaly starting on it.

from a bunch of halfsquares and squares and other sqraps I got the bottom part of the wallhanging done

I really like this one. I hope to get it done soon. I already know just the spot to hang it up. I hope to keep you posted pretty soon about that.

And the last picture is about the snow. It was nice to have a white Christmas but enough is enough. I would love to have summer again. Im tired of driving in the snow. How about you ?.

Ok, the only thing left to say now is . I wish you all a Happy New Year.

Life of joy - Lebensfreude

That is what its called. I meet once a month with 4 other lady's to sew, eat, chat and have lots of fun.

Everyone has there turn in choosing what we are working on. (I mean its not a forced thing, if you don't like it you just do your own thing.) But so far we seem to have the same likes and dislikes. Its always fun in the end to see what fabric does to a pattern. They always look so much different.

When the last Pattern came up I thought "not my kind of thing" But still decided to work on it and to use just scraps for this Quilt and then give it up for Donation. I changed a few blocks in the pattern since I did not like them in the Quilt and left part of the border out because it would been to big for my taste. (that's the fun part about it. You can do whatever you like in quilting) Its finished now and I really kind of like it. The size of the Quilt is now 70" x 55". I will take it next week to show it off to my friends and than it will go to my Doc. So he can ruffle it of and use the money for his work with humedica You know, even that I used all scraps for this Quilt it made just a very small dent in my Scrap boxes. Lol. I guess I need to make another scrap Quilt.

Reste Quilt- Scrap Quilt for the Kellerquilter

I finished the Quilt for the Kellerquilter and it reached its destination already. They where very happy with the Quilt and they liked my quilting. So I be quilting a few Quilts for them when people just send in tops. This will give me a good chance to practice my quilting. So now Im awaiting the arrivel of the package with the quilttops.

Wheel chair jacket and Elvis Quilt- Rollstuhljacke und Elvis Quilt

ein Frohes neues Jahr wünsche ich euch !!!

die Feiertage waren wunderschön. Es war toll ein paar Tage daheim zu sein.
War damit beschäftigt meinem Neffen eine neue Jacke für den Rollstuhl zu nähen (seine andere wurde zu klein). Habe gedacht so ein Bunny vorne drauf sieht schon klasse aus. Habe es für hier mit einem Stern verdeckt. Möchte ja keine Schwierigkeiten mit dem Copyright bekommen.
Seine Schwester meinte er wäre auch langsam zu alt für seinen Spiderman Quilt also musste ein neuer her. Sie kaufte das Elvis Panel und meinte das würde Ihm gefallen. Aus dem Panel wurde dann dieser Quilt.

A Happy New Year to you!!!
The holidays where great. It was good to be home for a few day's. I made my nephew a new wheel chair jacket (his other one got to small) I thought a bunny on the front will look cool. I covered it up with a star for here so I wont get trouble with the copyrights. His sister thought he outgrew his Spiderman Quilt also and bought this Elvis Panel. So that's what I came up with. I think he will like his new Quilt.

das quilten klappt wieder / the quilting works again

Fertig gequilted

Seit dem die Maschine zur Reperartur war läuft sie wie ein Lottchen. Ich bin totall begeistert. Das Resultat im Anhang. Ein Quilt für eine gute Freundin. Ich habe damals Ihre 10 Monate alte Hündin Nala übernommen weil Sie einfach nicht genug Zeit für sie aufbringen konnte. Ich weiß das es ihr ganz doll wehgetan hat Nala wegzugeben aber Sie wusste das Nala ein gutes Zuhause bekommt. Als Danke schön für diesen tollen Hund ist dieser Quilt gedacht. Jetzt hat sie wieder was zum kuscheln. Die Rückseite ist mit Minkee Stoff gemacht. Ich weiß das es nicht so toll ist wie mit Nala zu kuscheln aber ich hoffe das der Quilt trotzdem gut ankommt.

Since my machine is back from the shop she is running real smooth. I enjoy sewing an quilting again. The result is this quilt. The quilt is going to a good friend of mine. I took her 10 month old dog Nala over since she couldn't keep her. She couldn't bring up enough time for her. (good for me) I know it hurt her a lot to let Nala go but she knew Nala was going to a good home and would get very much love. As a Thank you for having Nala I mad this Quilt. Now she has something to cuddle again. The back from the quilt is made with Minkee Fabric. I know its not even close enough as to cuddle with Nala but I hope she still enjoy the quilt.

Der Quilt für meinen Bruder

Ja, der Quilt für meinen Bruder ist fertig geworden und auch sehr schön wenn ich das selbst mal so sagen darf.
Aber meine Maschine hat mir fast den letzten Nerv beim Quilten geraubt. Hatte mir doch so ein tolles Valdani Garn für diesen Quilt in Birmingham gekauft. Aber der Faden reißte ständig. Wechselte dann zu Madeira, das war zwar besser aber reißen tat’s auch. Also, Zähne knirschend fertig gequiltet ( hatte ja einen engen Zeitplan. Die Maschine habe ich jetzt erst mal zur Reparatur gebracht. Aufgefallen war mir das sich die Chromschicht von der Fadenführung ablöste vielleicht ist da ja schon der Fehler. Werde berichten was es ergibt. So jetzt noch das Bild vom fertigen Quilt und dann muss ich mich mal an die Hausarbeit machen

The Quilt for my Brother is finished and turned out very nice if I can say so myself.

Still my machine was driving me crazy quilting this Baby. I bought some nice Valdani Thread at the FoQ for this Quilt. But the thread was breaking constantly. So I switched to Madeira thinking my machine didn't like the Valdani thread. Wrong, the Madeira thread broke to not as much as the Valdani still enough to make me crawl up the wall. So I finished the Quilt having a bad time. ( but had to finish since there was that time limit) Took the machine to the shop and hope they can fix the problem. Looking at the machine a little close I could see that the chromium coating is peeling off from the thread guide. May be that could have caused the problem. Lets see what the technician can find out. I will keep you posted. Now real quick the picture from the Quilt and than I have to get some housework done.

Babydecke und ein Quilt fürs Kinderzuhause

So Heute will ich noch mal was zeigen. Die Freundin meines Sohnes ist Tante geworden. Also musste eine Babydecke her. Ist doch selbstverständlich das so ein kleiner Erdenbürger einen Quilt braucht. So das Foto ist nicht so gut aber er ist richtig kuschelig geworden mit Fleece als Rückseite.

So Today I want to show something again. My Sons Girlfriend became a Aunt. So a small BabyQuilt had to be made. I think every Baby should have a Quilt. The picture is not so good but the quilt came out good and real snugly because I used Fleece for the back.

Als ich so an diesen Babyquilt gearbeitet habe kam mir der Gedanke das dieses Muster auch gut für einen Quilt für das Kinderzuhause wär. In diesem Heim lebt mein Neffe. Jedes Jahr veranstaltet dieses Heim ein Sommerfest. Bei diesem Sommerfest gibt es eine Tombola wo immer Spenden gerne gesehen werden und für diese Tombola soll dieser Quilt enstehen. Also ran an den Schrank und ein paar passende Stoffe her. Schneiden, schneiden und nochmals schneiden. Na die, die dieses Hobby mit mir teilen wissen ja was ich meine. Ja und dann gehts an
die und los gehts. Hier ein paar Bilder.

As I was working on the baby quilt I thought this is a nice pattern for a Quilt at the Kinderzuhause. My Nephew lives there and every Year the have a Summer Fest. They have a open House and you can go a check it all out they also have games, cake and so on and they have a Raffle to raise Money. So they always happy to collect donations to be ruffled. For this Ruffle I will make this Quilt. So I pick Fabric and on to the Sewing machine. Here are some Pictures.

und dann hier das fertige Top. Mal schauen wann ich zum quilten komme und wie, da muss ich mir noch ein paar Kopfgedanken machen. Here is the finished Top. I have to think about wich Thread and how am I going to quilt it.
