Green Stepper Challenge

This is my Stepper Challenge.  I did mine in reverse as I had a lot of light colored 3.5 strips. 

IC challenge and finished quilt

Above is my reverse single Irish Chain for the challenge on Stashbusters.

 

Below is another IC challenge quilt. 

 

 

Below is my finish to relinquish my crown. 

Allietare Done

I am done!!!!  Well the top is done and the quilting room is too cold to finish it now, maybe in the spring I'll get the quilting done.  I did make some changes, it's smaller, only twin size.  No real gray or black in quantity enough to be scrappy.  BUT I did have a lot of blues about the value of the gray so used those.   Found a really dark shaded green for the black and used it for the constant.

allietare clue 4

This is my allietare clue 4.  I don't have a lot of blacks in my stash but did have this great dark shaded green.  check out the rest of the folks at Bonnie Hunter's site.

Allietare Quilt Link Up 12/14/15 - all three clues

I do not have a gray stash to really speak of but I do have lots of blues thus the change to blue and to the fact that I didn't not use just one constant.

My blacks are very limited so here is the dark green constant that I am using instead of a gray constant. 

Forgot to include the cream rectangles but those are also cut. 

I am doing 3/4 of the clues as I want a twin sized quilt. 

Check out Bonnie Hunter's blog for more pictures of the clues so far.

Beaver Camp Projects

This is Bonnie Hunter's Blue Ridge Beauty done in browns and creams.  It was only the blocks when I arrived at camp.  It's twin size now, think I will bind with a dark brown.

This is Bonnie Hunter's Carolina Crossroads mystery quilt.  The rows were sewn but I had to piece all the setting triangles at camp and then sew all together.  Will be twin size when the borders are added. 

 

A very OLD UFO that was just cut, only lap size. 

 

All in all lots of progress at camp. 

Singer 15 Clone

This machine was given to me for birthday/Christmas present I think in 1955, it was the year I was in 7th grade taking home economics.  It's badged Ambassador but the book that came with it was for a Modern machine.  All bits seemed the same and it worked very well for many years.  Was set aside for maybe twenty years.  Didn't realize it was so dirty!!!!

This is the front of the machine, didn't take a back picture.  Everything is original to the machine but I might have purchased a new motor and foot petal, not sure on that.
If you can give any info on the machine I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks!!!!

New Purchase

This is my new purchase, can you tell me what model she is???  Thought it was a 66 but the stitch length is not the same as my red eye. 

These are the decals on the bed of the machine, there is some red in there and in the flowers

Faceplate and the tensioner is in a different place from the red eye also.

I'm sorry but I forgot to turn these first and the blog won't let me delete them and get the correct ones.  But you can see the bobbin winder and the stitch length indicator.  There are no numbers by the stitch length screw. 
I want to buy some parts for this machine but until I know what it is I can't get them.  It was electric but I want to convert it to a hand crank.  Thanks for your help!!!!

Graduation Quilt Ideas

Please let me know if these fabric will work for your quilt.  The gray and cream would be the constant with the green and gold being scrappy.

Design Wall Monday December 2, 2013

I'm excited to start a new mystery with Bonnie Hunter called Celtic Solstice.  I've started the first clue, have 74 of the 188 units needed for this clue.  I'm making a few extra to be able to make the quilt a bit longer than the 75 by 75 size given.

Hope I have enough variety in colors.  My other two colors are pink and plum.  Just using one fabric for the plum as I don't have a lot of variety with that color.  I was in a pink swap so I'm hoping that those strips will come in handy for this quilt. 

Go to Bonnie Hunter's blog if you want to see more of the clues.

Design Wall January 22, 2013

Ok so I'm late on the design wall thing.  This is four blocks from Flower Garden by Kim McLean.  I have been working on setting up the next 12 blocks I need to do for my quilt.  Time will tell if I do all the border applique. 

Our guild had a jelly roll race this past weekend. I didn't have a jelly roll but lots of errant 2.5 inch strips so used those.  Got the borders on today for show and tell tomorrow if the snow lets up.

Pictures Problem

I used to be able to click on the picture and upload pictures from my computer.  Now I can't seem to do that.  Did the blog change and I missed that???  Or did I do something wrong.  Now you can only get them from another blog post, web cam, URL, or one of the photo sharing sites.  None of which work for me.  Thanks for any help you can give me.  Otherwise I will be shutting down this blog as I started to share pictures of my quilting. 

Missing part

I'm I missing a cover under the fly wheel??? 

And what is the large thumb screw above the metal decal on the large arm of the shown in the picture for??? 

Singer Treadle

 This is my treadle machine, had it several years now.  Decals are damaged right in front of the needle but the rest is fine.  It works and stitches.  Cabinet is damaged but I bought it mostly to actually use, not be a room decoration. 

This is the front, are mostly have this fancy a plate???

Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street Clue 3 is done!!!  Well except for the two squares to cut, those will come next week when I dig out those fabrics IF we need them then.  They are one bin back and about six down to my left and no time to do that now.  sigh...

 



These are my moth in the window blocks, all done.  Ready to sash, have to cut all the little purple and white patches to do that.  I have the longer pieces already cut.  Those were easy!!!

Design Wall - December 3, 2012

Clue 2 of Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street mystery is done!!!!!!!!! 

I've been working on the Moth in the Window blocks from Quiltmaker Dec 2011.  I have them almost done, just three more fabric sets to complete and one is partly done.  AND I think I've figured out how I'm going to set them too.  Not sure on the border yet, had one but I think it will be too dark now.  sigh.....  Story of my life. But I'm sure there is another perfect one upstairs in the vault!!!

Been using the August Quiltathon for a leader ender so that one is progressing very slowly.
