I’m starting the New Year by moving my blog to a different location. I have found a different platform which allows me to post from my Ipad. I think this will save time and hopefully encourage me to post a little more often. I hope you will find me at this new location <a href="http://pickinstitchin.wordpress.com/">pickinstitchin.wordpress.com</a><br />
and read my first entry about some scrap reduction in my sewing room. <br />

I love the colors, the temperatures and decorating my house with Halloween stuff. First, let me share some of the colors of Missouri. The trees have been spectacular this year, hitting their prime the last week of the month, a little later than usual. <br />

I have been doing some sewing. A neighbor asked me to make her granddaughter a quilt for her Christmas present. That is what 9 y/o Briley had requested. How can you say no to that? I really have never wanted to do commission quilts. I think it is very hard to communicate what you envision to someone who does not sew or make quilts. My mind thinks in block designs and most non-quilters think in color, I believe. I pulled several color collections from my stash and had Briley come over to the house. She chose this blue and yellow combination in a churn dash patterned quilt. The problem is the completed quilt she was looking at had a yellow background with floral churn dashes, Liberty of London florals. This quilt will look nothing like that quilt, so I hope Grandma and Briley will like it for its own sake. </div>

I tried it with both the straight set and the diagonal set, but chose the diagonal after all. I would have needed more churn dash blocks and fewer chain blocks, so in the end it seemed easier to go with the pattern directions. I did change the border treatment a little. I had this wonderful print (Sturbridge Village) that worked so well with the background and the black chain piecing, so skipped the patchwork border. </div>

I've been back in the sewing room this week. This comes from one of the classes I took at Quilt Camp in May. It was taught by Quilter Extraordinare, Klonda Lightfoot. She teaches at camp every year and always has an interesting quilt to tackle. This was my first year as a student after 5 years as the Mystery Quilt teacher, so was anxious to take one of her classes. This pattern was in a Quiltmaker magazine and named Churn Dash Checkers. I do love me a Churn Dash block, so knew I would enjoy making it. </div>

And then my new wool pressing pad makes pressing them go faster. My friend Julie brought me this piece of wool felt from a recent trip, from the country of Latvia. Apparently, embroidered felt decorations and clothing is one of their traditional crafts. She found a shop featuring felted wool, thinking she was bringing me something for my wool applique. She was probably surprised when I pounced on it as a pressing mat. I have been reading about them and wanted to try one, but they are pretty pricey. But, after pressing 120 of these little 4 patches, I can tell you that they are definitely worth it. </div>

Now back to the sewing room to begin putting this top together. The directions place the blocks in a diagonal set, but I want to try it with a straight set too. I like Churn Dash blocks better in a straight set and think I would like a diagonal chain effect better than the horizontal/vertical chain. Any opinions on this question? </div>

And a better picture of the table runner. I actually made this a couple of years ago as a bolster pillow, but didn't use it much. ( My husband doesn't like decorative pillows on the bed.) So, I took it apart, quilted it and I think I will use it as a table runner if it doesn't sell. I find that is the best plan with a selling site like Early Works, make things you like and would use in your house anyway. </div>

In another piece of news, my grandson brought me a treasure from the trash at his workplace. It is a bag stitcher from a seed processing plant. Isn't it cool? I had him carry it to the sewing room for me, but now will have to bribe him with a steak to have it moved to where I will eventually</div>

It’s been awhile since I've written a post. It’s not that I haven’t thought of it. I just didn’t think I had anything interesting to write. I had a knee replacement in March. No one wanted to hear me whine about that. Then April was spent going back and forth to physical therapy, a 20 mile trip both ways. It seemed I had no energy for anything else after that. See, I did get to whine. I can’t tell you where the other months have gone, but here I am in September, finally beginning to feel like sewing and talking about it.</div>

Our Guild supports a local charity which is a facility for abused and neglected children. They have a need for twin sized quilts, especially extra long ones for teenage boys. I made this top last year, also pieced a backing and made a scrappy binding, but never got it quilted. Carrie, one of my team partners, is a long arm Quilter, so she quilted it and I bound it. Bingo, our charity quilt done, my TBQ (to be quilted) stack lowered, and a tall teenager will have a quilt to take with him when he goes to foster care or an improved home situation. So, that’s what I’ve been up to in the sewing room. </div>

The decorations are back in their plastic bins, the house is decorated in evergreens and blue and I am itching to be in my sewing room. It seems, though, that I keep getting distracted by organizing something. Yesterday, I thought I would get my quilting UFO list together. There were some tops to be quilted, a Bonnie Hunter (Smith Mountain Morning) left from the retreat with her 3-4 years ago, and some BOM's partially done. And then this.....<br />

Layer Cakes, Charm Packs, Jelly Rolls, Fat Quarters! Most with companion fabric to put them together. Some have notes with them. Most of them? I have no idea what I intended. This has to stop! I equalized my Fabric Used with Fabric Purchased this year, but these baskets didn't see any action. With you as my witnesses today, I vow this will change. </div>

On to more positive things, I did finish the Red Cross quilt and it is now in a place of honor on the back of the couch. Its really too big for napping, but I'm enjoying the color in the room since the Christmas decorating has gone into storage. Mr. Zeke had to check it out before I folded it and I think he approves. </div>

What's happening in the Wool Room? I bought some wool last week from the Cushing Etsy Shop, FQ bundles for a good price. I decided to start hooking a small sample with any new wool. It is helpful when choosing wool for a project. </div>

I am always amazed by how the hooking changes the appearance of the wool. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since they are only FQ's, I also noted when and where purchased. It might not be still available if I need it later, but it's possible. </div>

Other news from the wool room; my update for the Early Works Mercantile website is due on January 15, so busy with those things. I'm hooking some wool hearts, there will be a Cardinal flying into the wool room, and maybe another doll will be born. <br />

This was a free pattern in the November/December issue of Rug Hooking magazine by Sharon A. Smith. I love her designs and to have a free one to use was too good to pass up. A 15 cent enlargement and a little tracing and I was ready to go. The brown wool was from my walnut hull dyeing last month.</div>

This was really fun to hook and small enough to finish in a week. I love to work on seasonal things, no matter which season it is. I already have my big Christmas project for next year and I have a bunny design to hook in the spring. I recently joined the Pattern of the Month Club with Deanne Fitzpatrick and the first pattern was roses. I'm thinking that will be a good February project. </div>

Those of you who have followed my blog for quilting conversations are probably wondering if I have given it up. Do not despair, we will still be quilting in this house for some time to come. (You don't want to see my quilting stash). I am not a fan of television, so rug hooking and wool applique fill my evenings while my husband watches sports and news. One of us has to stay in the great room to let the cat in and out, so he watches TV in the den while I hook in the great room. It works for us. I sew most afternoons in my sewing room, so that's when the quilting activities take place. </div>

Family gatherings, good food, an unending Uno game with the grandsons, a beautiful candlelight Christmas Eve service and SNOW! Yes, we had a little snow on Christmas Eve. Just enough to cover the ground, but not enough to restrict travel to family activities and church services. <br />

In addition to all of the Christmas preparations, my Early Work Mercantile update was posted on December 15th. On Saturday, December 16th, we had lots of family here to attend our local theatre's production of A Christmas Carol and I was getting emails about purchasing the items from that post. My previous updates had pretty lukewarm sales, but this one sold out in the first day! So exciting! Here they are.</div>

Frosty. This was sewn from a white wool and came with a red scarf and a blue scarf. He has a little pocket on the back to tuck a personal note or a small gift. </div>

Here is his cute face. I actually sold two of these. The extra one added some stress to my week before Christmas, but went to a really sweet lady in Texas, so it was worth it. She also bought the doll quilt, would love to see how she is using them. </div>

This week, though, will be about finishing up the year with a flourish. I am within a few yards of equalizing my fabric stash-in and stash-out numbers. I would like to see it done, for once. I usually buy more than I use. Not a good situation for someone in my age group. My children will not thank me for that. I finished this quilt top a couple of weeks ago. </div>

It had been languishing in the UFO pile for about three years, so it was time to bring it to the finishing stage. It is a pattern by Homestead Hearth called Red Cross, so has some significance for me as a retired RN also. I plan to start the quilting on it this week. I've been thinking about the quilting (this is always my biggest decision of the entire process). I grabbed this quilt for my Christmas Day nap and have decided I will use this design. </div>

I had done a little E-bay selling when I had a shop here in town, so wasn't entirely clueless (pretty close, though). I started with applying to a juried shop, Early Works Mercantile, just to see if my stitching came up to the standards of online sales. It is a primitive decorating shop and I love the things in all of the shops. I was accepted, so stewed and fretted until my first "update", which was October 15th. I immediately sold an item, so was definitely encouraged. Then I sold another from my November update. This emboldened me to set up an Etsy Shop for those things that don't fall into the primitive category. There is still a lot to learn, but I think it will be fun. My Etsy shop is PickingandStitching (that was easy) and my Early Works shop is Old Trail Primitives, <a href="http://earlywork-oldtrailprimitives.blogspot.com/">http://earlywork-oldtrailprimitives.blogspot.com</a><i>. </i>Here are some pictures from the current update on Early Works Mercantile. <br />

I was recently invited to a pumpkin patch party with some
guild friends. I had been admiring the Bonnie Hunter string pieced pumpkins in
Quiltmaker magazine, as well as the Jo's Country Junction version with a brown
background. We could choose any pattern we wanted so we were all working on
something different. See all of Christi's pumpkins at her blog http<a href="http://christiscreativecorner.blogspot.com/">://christiscreativecorner.blogspot.com</a>
Here is my version with the brown backgrounds.<o:p></o:p></div>

We still have rural elementary schools here in Mid-Missouri. Before you form a picture of a one room schoolhouse with a potbelly stove, let me set you straight. They are modern buildings with several classrooms, a library and a gymnasium and provide the area with a pre-school, kindergarten, and grades 1-8. The class size will be less than 10 usually and might serve two grades. Our local school has a very active parents organization with a traditional fall fundraiser, a dinner and some type of auction. I was invited to donate a quilt for the auction this year and gladly agreed. I invited one of the organizers into my sewing room to choose a quilt from the "pile", both quilted and unquilted. She chose two to consider, a traditionally pieced one in fall colors and a simply pieced Missouri Star Quilt Company pattern in yellow and pale gray. The rest of her committee was younger women with school age children and they overwhelmingly chose the more modern one. Here it is after quilting;<br />

A vintage quilt was gifted to me by a friend cleaning out her deceased mother's sewing supplies after her passing. It was a lovely top of Nosegay blocks, all made with feedsack prints. I was able to find that odd shade of green to make a border and binding, then quilted it. I know, if I was a purist I would have hand quilted it, but it had laid unquilted for 50-75 years, so I decided done was better than perfect. I am donating it to our historic preservation organization for their house tour and silent auction this fall. Here it is:</div>

I enjoy donating quilts to good causes and it seems I do more of that kind of quilting than I do for us. I think I've made just two or three this year that I intend to keep. That's probably enough!</div>

The project I am featuring is a quilt as you go table runner. It can be made any size or shape and works just as well in a square as it does a rectangle. It is a great way to use up batting and fabric scraps and strips. Also, if you have orphan blocks left from other projects, here is a great way to put them to use for holiday gifts. Here is the one I chose to make for our little tutorial.<br />

besides having some fat quarters and small yardages. And I had some frankenbatts that were about 18" x 30". So this is what I chose to do. If you choose to sew along with me, here is what you will need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Scraps or fat quarters of chosen fabric. If you are using fat quarters, you will need 7. I actually used 5 and some smaller scraps.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I love that little Christmas tree print on the left, but there was only about 6" of it. I decided it could become pinwheel blocks for the center. I made 6-1/2" unfinished blocks, starting with 3-1/2" strips, cutting the HST's with my Easy Angle ruler, my favorite method.</div>

If you make your HST's from squares, you will need 4" squares, then trim your HST's to 3-1/2". Press well. (Don't you just love the little triangles it makes on the back when you spin your seams?)</div>

I made three pinwheels and put them together with 2-1/2" strips of another fabric. You can do this center anyway you please according to the piece of batting you have and any blocks you have on hand or decide to make. </div>

Choose your backing and cut 1" larger than your batting on all 4 sides. Mark the centers on your backing, batting and center design and layer with centers matched. Spray or pin baste layers together. (I do both).</div>

Secure the three layers together by adding your first strips to the ends of your center design. Place another 2-1/2" strip on each end, RST, sewing through all layers, using a 1/4"seam and your walking foot. Trim your strip even with your center blocks.</div>

I used a curved line through the center on the green HST's. </div>

You can add as much or as little quilting as you wish. Remember, you were quilting the layers as you were adding your strips! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used 2" binding strips in a different coordinating print, pressing them WST to make a 1" binding, sewing to the right side by machine, turning over the edge and hand stitching to the back. This makes a very snug binding. If you prefer, use 2-1/2" strips for a wider binding.</div>

The center fabric was something I fell in love with last year. It is a Holly Taylor fabric, called Town Square. (Good luck finding it if you love it too.) I used it for a center panel, fussy cutting the design to fit my size. Using the same quilt as you go technique, I added 2" strips in coordinating fabrics, only this time I added them in a courthouse steps style to all four sides.</div>

The possibilities are endless with this technique. If you try it and like it, send a photo to me and I will include it in a future blog post. Or if you use Bloglovin, just add it to a comment on this post. </div>

Here is her announcement. <br />
<b>12 Days of Christmas in July Blog Hop</b><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "unkempt"; font-size: medium;">"And as if great holiday ideas and a tutorial weren't enough, this year we've got something extra special! The lovely folks over at Free Spirit Fabrics have donated not just one item for a giveaway, but THIRTEEN! And it's pretty drool-worthy stuff, too - it's Tula Pink's new holiday line, Holiday Homies!!!"</span><br />

<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">She has six design rolls, six layer cakes, and one fat quarter bundle to give away - and here's how we're going to do it! Visit each stop on the hop, including Sarah's blog, and leave a comment on each post for the day. If you comment on all the blogs involved that day, you'll have that many entries in that day's drawing! At the end of the </span><span style="font-size: medium;">hop, she will do a giveaway for each day by putting everyone's name in the hat who commented that day and drawing a winner for that day. That will be twelve winners - the design rolls and layer cakes. <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "unkempt";">Then she will put all the names from all the days in a hat and draw out a grand prize winner for the fat quarter bundle! Only one prize per person, though. So carve out a bit of time to visit all the blogs and comment.</span></span></span></div>

I do have a few things to show you from the past couple of weeks. I decided to join the Bonnie Hunter Leader and Ender Challenge this year, so did some cutting from my overflowing 2-1/2" strip bin. Bonnie's little blocks are so much cuter, but this is the bin that needs some work at my house. <br />

I'm using dark brown and cream for my 4-patches because my rails all seem to be those warm darker colors rather than brights. I did a bunch of cutting in preparation for a sew day on one of my vintage machines. My go to machine for piecing at home is my Viking Megaquilter and it has a thread cutter, so no need for leader/enders. These blocks are 12-1/2' unfinished, so I can make a big quilt over a year's time. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The other finished project is something from a class with Shelly Pagliai (Prairie Moon Quilts) about a year ago. I had it pieced, but not quilted. I knew I wanted to practice some more elaborate FMQ on it and just kept procrastinating out of insecurity. I finally have it done and if you don't get too close, it isn't too bad. </div>

It seems like every time I had something to write about, I didn't have pictures, or I had pictures, but nothing I've wanted to say. No excuses, just haven't taken the time to write a post on the blog. But, here goes. <br>
It has been a great summer so far in our little town in Missouri. No intense heat, lots of rain, green grass and summer flowers. I made a trip to Hot Springs Village AR to attend a rug hooking workshop with Aileen Anderson. I learned so much and had a great time with my hooking friends. <br>

The guild held a two day retreat the Friday and Saturday of Father's Day weekend. There were four of us who had bought the Metro Rings pattern and the Quick Curve Ruler to make a double wedding ring quilt. None of us had so much as broken the seal on the ruler, so decided to make it together while at retreat. It certainly was less intimidating that way. </div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">Just a note to my blog readers: I am moving my blog to Bloglovin, which is an app which combines all of your blogs in one place.(</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: small;">https://www.bloglovin.com/@judyquilts/quilt-camp) This app is </span>much more user friendly to post from the I-Pad, which is sometimes more convenient than the laptop. Also, the Blogger app does not appear to be supported anymore, or maybe just for PC devices. I've had more and more trouble with it lately so just decided to move the blog to something easier. I can still send the posts by email, so if you are getting it that way, let me know in the comments and I will keep a list. You can also follow me on Pinterest, my page is "Judy Smith" and the board is "Picking and Stitching". I will see how it goes and may adjust as time goes along. I do appreciate all of you and look forward to hearing how this change works for you. </div>

I finished the Churn Dash earlier this month. This is the one using the Regent Street fabrics, the American version of Liberty Lawns. I enjoyed quilting it, but it seemed to get bigger and bigger as I worked on it. </div>

I finished it in time to leave for my week-end in New York with the local theatre group. This was my first trip ever to the Big Apple, so really enjoyed it. Not much sightseeing, but saw 3 Broadway shows in 2 days. This was on my bucket list and I enjoyed it as much as I thought I would.</div>

My next big project involves Rug Hooking. My friend Sharon and I are organizing a two day retreat here in Arrow Rock on April 7-8. Neither of us has done this before, so we are a little nervous. My goal this week was to make some zipper bags to give for door prizes. Sharon had some adorable sheep fabric (rug hookers love sheep anything). I added some companion fabric from the stash, bought some zippers and sewed like the wind. </div>

Red is the Color of the Month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and was also the color for our guild Scrap Basket Challenge in February. One of my 2017 goals is to utilize my Go cutter more, so used my Kite die to make a Baby Grace donation quilt. I'm calling it Bandana. </div>

I finally decided to try my hand at English Paper Piecing. Friend Janie had given me some precut shapes several years ago, so I started with them not really expecting to like it. Surprise, Surprise! I love it! It is now my favorite take-along project. These rosettes are now a table mat, blanket stitched to a piece of flannel and decorating an antique table.</div>

In like a Lamb The winter months have just flown, partly because we have had so little winter weather here in Missouri and partly because I have been on the go. I covered the Florida trip in a post last month. That was January. In February, my older daughter and I joined my younger daughter and family in Puerto Rico for a few days. I can't say enough good things about that place. The weather was perfect, the people are so nice, the food is good and if you like beach, there is a lot of it. Here are a few of my favorite pictures.<br />

Here is my other flimsy from January. This is a UFO from 2010. It was featured in McCalls Quilting, a design by the Homestead Hearth girls, Sarah Maxwell and Delores Smith, using Jo Morton fabrics. When it came out, I immediately ordered the printed star fabric, collected some fat quarters and then it languished in the stash until last year. It was on my 2016 UFO list, but didn't get finished. Most of the blocks were done, but not assembled. I pulled it out again in December and worked on it between mystery clues. I'm sending it out to be quilted because it is so big, about 90" X 95". </div>

Its all about possibilities; making the UFO list, listing the year's goals, making the bucket list of new quilts to make, deciding between all of the challenges or blocks of the month to join. Top of the list was the Bonnie Hunter Mystery. The big reveal was New Years Eve and I put one block together on New Years Day to see how it was going to look with my color scheme. I substituted blues for the purple and lavender, then at the last minute substituted the only purple in my stash for the green. Here's my block....<br />

There is a Stashbuster challenge called BookIt that I signed up for. The premise for it is to choose a book setting on the shelf and make something from it. I chose Pattern Play by Lynn Roddy Brown, which contains many CW patterns. From that, I chose Shattered Dishes. I have always loved the block Broken Dishes and this block just expands it a little. The pattern as pictured takes 32 blocks, so I will make 3/month. Love those violet setting triangles, so might have to look for something similar. <br />

My other new project is an adaption of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. We decided to do something similar within our quilt guild, called Scrap Basket Challenge. We decided on 12 different colors or styles of fabrics and draw one a month. The category drawn for January was solids. On Pinterest, I saw a spool quilt made with black backgrounds and thought it very striking, so decided on that. I am making 6" finished spools, using the stitch and flip method, but you could make them any size. I will make 10 blocks per month. I have a very small stash of solids, mostly Kona's, only the blue came from scraps. The others were cut from FQ's (so much for the scrap busting plan). </div>

Do you like to keep numbers on quilting and sewing projects? Until the last few years, I didn't do it either. About three years ago, I started keeping a little notebook and by 2015, had graduated to a three ring binder and computer generated charts and forms. I know, a little crazy, but I love it. First, it was a UFO list, then it was stash accounting. Now it is weekly to do lists, block counts, etc. You get the idea. I've created a monster and it is me. Your eyes are probably glazing over by now, but here goes.<br />
<br />
MY STATS! 2016<br />
<br />
20 total quilt related projects completed. Most were at least lap size. <br />
8 UFO's completed out of 14 declared.<br />
17 New starts, 12 completed<br />
162.5 yards of fabric purchased<br />
107.8 yards sewn (making the 100 yard dash)<br />
>350 blocks sewn (the exact figure is on Shelly's Prairie Moon blog)<br />

If you have any interest in seeing any of my worksheets, leave a comment and I will email to you.<br />
Now, onto 2017 Goals. You do that, don't you?<br />
<br />
GOALS! 2017<br />
<br />
UFO'S - 12 ( hope to finish at least 9)<br />
Use more scraps in my quilts, think of them first.<br />
Reduce purchases, equalize purchases with usage<br />
Reduce Civil War stash (it is totally out of control)<br />
Utilize my Accuquilt GO more, revise my planning to fit the dies I have.<br />
<br />
Planned New Starts:<br />
Yellow and grey Sew-In challenge ( I purchased fabric last May, must be done by May 2017)<br />
Scrap Basket Challenge ( a guild activity which I will talk about in a later post)<br />
BookIt Challenge (a Stashbuster Yahoo Group challenge)<br />
6 Charity Quilts, 4 crib size and 2 twin size.<br />
<br />
A very modest plan for new starts, I know, but I am constantly getting distracted by the next new thing. I know myself well. That list will grow before the year is out. <br />
Enough writing, I need to sew.<br />

Then, step 6 went live this morning. I read thru the instructions and thought "no problem". I didn't buy the Essential Triangle tool because I have the Easy Angle and Companion Angle and have used it before. I really didn't want to learn another method when I was familiar with this one (she said so confidently). So here was the first one I made. Notice anything? Check out the ruler at the top. Have you ever seen a 6-1/2" unit in a Bonnie quilt? Neither have I.</div>

Apparently I don't have the memory of a 20 year-old any longer. I remembered the 3-1/2" measurement and cut my strips that size and used that size on the CA ruler. Wrong!! The unfinished hourglass is 3-1/2". Luckily, I had only cut four blocks, but had cut enough strips to make all of them. By the way, the purple is my green. You thought I'd goofed again, didn't you? Here are the correct units.</div>

This is my Civil War stash. I cleaned all of the fabric out of my Dear Jane project box (no idea when I will get back to that) and now it won't fit in the bin. I've been working on folding and sorting, but it will require another bin. That is one of my goals for 2017, to use some of those CW fabrics. There must be six or seven quilts in that stack. The open box on the shelf below holds all French General fabrics. That needs to become a quilt also. </div>
