Resharing this post about Kathy Corby and her first quilt. She finally finished her top a couple weeks ago, sent it home with Rob Wheeler, and I got it quilted and bound in time for an unexpected trip back to ND.

Was the quilting and binding a simple job? Of course not, because that daughter of mine doesn't do simple or traditional. Yes, the quilting was easy. Yes, the binding was easy. But, when I asked what she wanted on her label, she found some crazy Pinterest idea for putting the quilt info on the binding! (Why, oh why, can't she do the normal beginner process and just do what her mother tells her?!? Oh, yeah, because she's obstinate just like her mother!)

So, of course, I felt the challenge and had to try giving her what she wanted, label in the binding. I "guess" it turned out OK...just don't tell Kathy that she successfully manipulated me right out of my comfort zone again! (OH, wait, y'all don't know about the Dresden Debackle...I'll have to let you know all about that in the next few days!)

Anyway, shout out to Kathy with her very first quilt! Pics in the comments.

I have been spending a lot of time lately working at The White Flower Quilt Shop, and I have been LOVING it!

A couple of weeks ago, a young lady came in and asked if I could make her late grandmother's sweatshirt into a pillow...oh, how sweet! What a lovely way to remember her grandmother.

Thanks, Emma, for letting me help you out with this project. 💜💜💜

Hi, everyone! I've been laid up after having rotator cuff surgery, so trying to live life one-handed (or is it one-armed?)...but, I have a new toy (AKA, embroidery machine) and just had to figure out how to play with it. 😆😆😆 Threading it one-handed is a challenge, but I can do it slooowwwly. And, my awesome hubby Rob Wheeler is getting experience in loading hoops for me.

Check out the CUTE mug rug we made last night!

I spent the afternoon with some motivated ladies at The White Flower Quilt Shop. We started working on the 2027 Opportunity Quilt for the Greater Golden Valley Quilters Guild. So far, we have 21 of the 32 star blocks sewn together. Progress!

Thanks, Hope, Karen, and Mary C!

I've been trying for years to convince my daughter to get into quilting, but she's obstinate like her mother and continued to refuse. So, imagine my delight when I get a phone call from her, and she says, "OK, Mom, don't freak out...but I have an idea for a quilt."

Needless to say, I was happy to pick up four coordinating Halloween fabrics for her idea while on my road trip to ND. (Thanks, Stacie at Painted Pony Quilt Shop for the Halloween selection to choose from!)

Once I got to Kathy Corby 's, she and I talked about patterns, and I gave her some ideas of quick and easy quilts. Kathy decided to try a disappearing 4-patch. It turned out great, but it was smaller than she wanted. Hmmm, what to do?

Kathy had played around with some fussy-cut squares, so she decided to use those as cornerstones along with a wide black border. I thought that would look great, but that just wasn't going to be enough for my creative daughter. She wanted to add a couple of ghost blocks to her borders. Easy ghost blocks out of squares and triangles? No. Simple applique ghosts? No. Instead, she wanted something she had seen on Pinterest, and there we went down the foundation paper piecing road. Of course, this whole ghost conversation was happening the night before I was due to head home, so no pressure or anything! 😆

Enter, the parchment paper. I drew put FPP sections for Kathy to piece together, but I also told her I was going to bed and she would have to figure it out later. Later ended up being the night after I got home. Kathy video called me to walk her through FPP. If you know FPP, you know you are working backwards and upside down at the same time, so try explaining that over the phone! A couple of video calls, Kathy had a good start to her ghost, and I told her, "Good luck!"

Kathy finally finished her first ghost at 11:23 Monday night. Be sure to read her texts, they are hilarious! And, Kathy is still refusing to make another ghost...she said instead she will make a skull. I'm not sure why she thinks a skull will be easier, but like I said at the beginning of this post, she is obstinate and you can't tell her a thing! 😆😆😆

I added a little fringe to plain t-shirts, turned out cute and made a granddaughter happy. It's hard to see on the shirt she's wearing, but the fringe runs down the sides of that one.

I made a stop at the Painted Pony Quilt Shop in Carroll, Iowa. Stacie just moved her quilt shop to the new location, and it is SO AWESOME!!! I think my favorite thing in the shop is the quilt rack that holds 10 QUILTS! Now I'm wondering if I can talk Rob Wheeler into making one for my quilts. 🤣🤣🤣

If you are near Carroll, Iowa, be sure to stop in and see Stacie's new shop! It's worth the trip (or detour)!

Here is the other quilt made by the new sew-er/sewist/quilter that I posted about yesterday. Let me tell you, from a long arm quilter's perspective, this girl did a GREAT job! All the measurements (3 in each direction) were within a quarter inch of each other. I haven't seen many quilt tops from experienced quilters that are so close to perfect. It sure made my job easier!

This quilt had African zoo animals, and I just happened to find African animal tracks in my digital quilting library. 💜
