So ... the main blog will be "private stuff" like family and travel. It will take a while but I want to share my lace and quilt patterns with you. .......... I want to encourage you to leave a comment.I like to know what you think. Was something helpful? Do you have a different opinion?Christahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03995654286596128358noreply@blogger.comBlogger149125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826187037555038335.post-18080081779694908392022-12-31T11:25:00.001-08:002022-12-31T11:25:47.745-08:00Lace in Italy<p>Yes, I had promised my lacemaking friends. My appologize for taking so long but it is not easy to whittle the many photos down to a smaller number. Which photos are most relevant? All those beautiful things we saw. </p><p>My husband James and I started our trip on September 14 by flying to Malta. If you want to read about all our adventures in Italy, feel free to <b><a href="https://christa-feelingblessed.blogspot.com/2022/09/yes-another-trip-day-1-2.html?m=0" target="_blank">CLICK HERE!</a></b></p><p>Of course being a bobbinlacer I have heard about Maltese lace. I was on the look-out for lace on this trip. And yes, one little shop in Valetta on Malta had bobbinlace (and other) for sale. They claimed it was handmade. One gentleman in our group tried to tease me "oh yes, made in China" but my answer was that if they had been able to teach the Chinese to bobbinlace than they had done well. The shop lady told me that the lace is being made these days in the next little island Gozo but there was no time to go there.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhakMJtGCD__Th_ydZ1_PP971vbPLRxBrbJWBVtEarmNc2oc_JUazppiHXqxrBagGNS8m9eQh10tS5YEVPIB-MRzu7DF_MLxOBtEg_YDHBj2lKAAelRwqGViGognSmnxmM3T1_OzDiWCcI24WhqpRbzwb2IUj3PO-FLOPR6RijQSVXZI7NdNYUNaYdE/s4032/D00E62EF-BC3D-4B12-8B78-A90A56B0674B_1_201_a.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhakMJtGCD__Th_ydZ1_PP971vbPLRxBrbJWBVtEarmNc2oc_JUazppiHXqxrBagGNS8m9eQh10tS5YEVPIB-MRzu7DF_MLxOBtEg_YDHBj2lKAAelRwqGViGognSmnxmM3T1_OzDiWCcI24WhqpRbzwb2IUj3PO-FLOPR6RijQSVXZI7NdNYUNaYdE/s320/D00E62EF-BC3D-4B12-8B78-A90A56B0674B_1_201_a.heic" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Every so often in the beautiful churches in the beautiful towns we were visiting had lace on the altar.

I upload all PDFs as "anybody with the link can see it" and that is how I add the link into the blogs. You click on it and the PDF opens.</p><p>For about 3 years now every so often somebody sends a share request to me because the file will not open. I am sure that is frustrating for those who want to have a look. Sometimes it takes a while for me to answer especially if I am out of the country and without internet. I am trying my best to make everybody happy.</p><p>Yesterday I spent some time googling to find a solution. I found one expert site where the question had been asked three years ago and the comments are still going strong. Nobody knows how to fix it. Everybody is of the unanimous opinion that it is a bug in the system and Microsoft doesn't care to fix it. </p><p>So, if you can't open one of my files but would like to do so, please write that share request and I will try my best.</p><p>* * *</p><p>Several years ago I also had a feature on the side of the blog that you could select to "subscribe". Blogger decided some time ago to not make that available any longer. I did find another way for that again recently because I don't often like to post a new blog on FaceBook. Unfortunately though I have seen that it only alerts you by sending you the link (which is fine) but not the whole blog. Well, one more click should be ok. There is advertising though in that email which you most likely want to ignore.

Their three boys were spending a weekend 3 1/2 hours away at the other grandparents. It was spring break. </p><p>On Tuesday April 5 they were to return but with both parents working that is a bit of a challenge. The transfer of the children is always done halfway and we have "retrieved" them once before. It is usually done around Waynesboro. I suggested to James that we should make an outing out of this for us.</p><p>The Virginia Quilt Museum just had 3 exhibitions showing which would be well worth seeing. It is located in Harrisonburg which is a bit far but combined with this reason a good idea. And combined with the prospect of lunch in a well-known German restaurant in the same town sounded even better. </p><p>It was a rainy day but that didn't matter. The first stop was the quilt museum and of course it's all indoors. Oh, the eye-candy!</p><p>We were told when entering that we were allowed to take photos but not to post them on social media. The quilters might not like it. I contemplated this for a long time (5 weeks?) and decided to show just a few. </p><p>A) I am not sure whether blogs are social media.</p><p>B) I really would like my quilting friends to know how well-worth a visit to this museum is.</p><p>C) One of the exhibitions is called "Inspired by Endangered Species" and I was quite sure that a German Quilter I sometimes exchange emails with would have something in the exhibition. It can be seen until July 15.</p><p>I think the first photo should definitely be allowed because it advertises this museum program. I searched through the website but could not find out more about it and just now wrote to them. Seems such a good idea (gifts shop fundraiser for the museum).</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdJ6FMtNzHKxfSV4zzEqqUdsw2MM8fJfao3StyEqGkJrF429y6OKTUHMiGxXWZ_rUyDjCpSMjcqmsGUQCURf5lk6fPsWDPfJCgwjvCKJ_n_tUo_otUcUOd_N-B4hy_0XFv_nMUfyCP2DdKaQSARK8uxo3TDo7An2LX6s1eWFFYxw5AMcO94G8CrVr/s4032/EB49FC7E-8692-4C98-9DE1-54CD8021C0BD.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdJ6FMtNzHKxfSV4zzEqqUdsw2MM8fJfao3StyEqGkJrF429y6OKTUHMiGxXWZ_rUyDjCpSMjcqmsGUQCURf5lk6fPsWDPfJCgwjvCKJ_n_tUo_otUcUOd_N-B4hy_0XFv_nMUfyCP2DdKaQSARK8uxo3TDo7An2LX6s1eWFFYxw5AMcO94G8CrVr/s320/EB49FC7E-8692-4C98-9DE1-54CD8021C0BD.heic" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipsV19DYUoy4Ey50uzjgLYeV-Dg-MumRWUAah4xg0_ctffDdPaQ7fEnUqxQ2j8Cy48D8RLbacSLXtqVRqBbfkCTROIY7QQxl-8IKJru8al0U9F8y11VbWpxHsXrM6A58apvtMvoK4ck5TczjMrLm-jJxiclRTG4rzEFCXu8Soup-Zou2eZwOiQckHA/s4032/3498A210-2BDF-48F5-8D8C-6806840D26E8.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipsV19DYUoy4Ey50uzjgLYeV-Dg-MumRWUAah4xg0_ctffDdPaQ7fEnUqxQ2j8Cy48D8RLbacSLXtqVRqBbfkCTROIY7QQxl-8IKJru8al0U9F8y11VbWpxHsXrM6A58apvtMvoK4ck5TczjMrLm-jJxiclRTG4rzEFCXu8Soup-Zou2eZwOiQckHA/s320/3498A210-2BDF-48F5-8D8C-6806840D26E8.heic" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This was the first quilt we saw (not in an exhibition I think) and it is stunning.

You see the 2 missing. I could now pick colors which would fit best into the places out of my stash. Hubby is holding up the two finished quilt tops. I might take them to the Stitchers Group (they are the recipients and will quilt/finish them) and add a border around them to pull everything together, probably with fabric of the back and binding. Will see.

I have been to the museum several times. Paducah is a small town (relative). It seems everybody knows everybody else and Meredith Schroeder is the grandma of one of the girl scouts in the troop I was a leader of. But I am happy to go to the museum again. It is always different. </p><p>Saturday July 31</p><p>Our airbnb was close and I walked over to the museum. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8NzlBPEOmKtZ64E-QIVWA85Mn0zjXqI_IEK2mZD_BlId4Y22_UmavWf8-M2y9v2KJIkH1BhBkbKgx6xm0nHaVuRPsBvMnlVeZAMGfC4oMDKGRymKAQfXyRtNQyK6tPDmkOAtNCWWV6q8/s2048/963FFE5F-2173-44D1-94F3-A63A84969239.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8NzlBPEOmKtZ64E-QIVWA85Mn0zjXqI_IEK2mZD_BlId4Y22_UmavWf8-M2y9v2KJIkH1BhBkbKgx6xm0nHaVuRPsBvMnlVeZAMGfC4oMDKGRymKAQfXyRtNQyK6tPDmkOAtNCWWV6q8/s320/963FFE5F-2173-44D1-94F3-A63A84969239.heic" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the lobby I was directed to this 'quilt'.

A sawtooth star. A typical block with 16 squares. Believe me, a few times I have made mistakes like putting a tot (tone-on-tone) white square with the wrong side towards the other piece and sewed them together. If you notice that when the whole block is done ... it is not a nice moment. </p><p>So, here is how I sew my blogs together. I always lay my block out on a mini "design wall" and place it next to my machine. It's nice when you can carry a block in parts like that from the cutting table or ironing table to the sewing machine.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSK0LQFAbCt_-L93GBy4Jdt9BXl8wnOJSZqrCFeSiei53c9eUztRzQ49RUAMCVPn-J-TIf9DOLcy9Sy1JxZ_VxlKXuSlPV66beSgF0026d42QO49esa3CdGFsbc42Do3VuCJ5l40knPCk/s2048/50F787A3-E91D-4E02-B705-9A5CC9A8D4E9_1_201_a.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1420" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSK0LQFAbCt_-L93GBy4Jdt9BXl8wnOJSZqrCFeSiei53c9eUztRzQ49RUAMCVPn-J-TIf9DOLcy9Sy1JxZ_VxlKXuSlPV66beSgF0026d42QO49esa3CdGFsbc42Do3VuCJ5l40knPCk/s320/50F787A3-E91D-4E02-B705-9A5CC9A8D4E9_1_201_a.heic" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I made a video so you can see what I mean what I will try to explain. I have never done a video like this and it is rather amateurish. I had to prop the camera up and hope it would not fall down when I got it going. I hope you see what I mean and will not laugh too much about me. Well, on the other hand, if I can give you a good laugh that probably would be good. We all need that once in a while. <div><br /></div><div>When you look at this block you have 4 rows from top to bottom and you have 4 columns from left to right. In the video you will see that I turned the second square in the first row over the first square and sewed them together. DO NOT CUT but immidiately do the same with those two from the second row, and third row, and fourth row. They will all hang together.</div><div><br /></div><div>I saw onto a little swatch then and cut what I have just done off. I think they call that swatch "thread bunny" these days. My mother used to do it when I was a little child in Germany but I don't think it had a name. </div><div>Ha-ha, I thought I had written about my mother doing that because I had never seen anybody do this her in the USA. All those videos from professionals and all those hanging threads (if you don't have one of those fancy machines). Just found it: <b><a href="https://laceandquilts.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-sewing-tip-mother-taught-me.html" target="_blank">Blog from December 9, 2014</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div>So you have the squares from all 4 rows from column 1 and 2 now hanging somewhat together. Take the top one from the third column, turn it over on top of the first one from column 2 and sew them together. If you are chainsewing more then one block at the time and leave that thread bunny attached you will always know which is the top.</div><div>Keep sewing the squares from column 3 to column 2. Sew unto another thread bunny and cut off. </div><div>Now do the same with column 4. You are done with all 16 squares ... somewhat attached to each other.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi91EHo3fMlBK3lxb2XW7kZyaIfgXfpJO8KLzeQY7nGhwIPgUOYT2AczgTodSIU30MvzG8K3skUCK2RWyzG32HC8cU3sGxG9zdFp_bqT5fpFInSr50wC_ieBhJUyESrpIzRGW6wkF4v2C0/s2048/7CD1E702-FA04-401D-8607-729D86ACCEB3.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi91EHo3fMlBK3lxb2XW7kZyaIfgXfpJO8KLzeQY7nGhwIPgUOYT2AczgTodSIU30MvzG8K3skUCK2RWyzG32HC8cU3sGxG9zdFp_bqT5fpFInSr50wC_ieBhJUyESrpIzRGW6wkF4v2C0/s320/7CD1E702-FA04-401D-8607-729D86ACCEB3.heic" /></a></div><div><br /></div>You still have to sew the other way.

Of course July BOM is any star with patriotic fabric. I decided to play with the Sawtooth Star block.</p><p>There are many Sawtooth Star block versions on the internet. Lots of free patterns. Some use 4 'flying geese' and some 8 HSTs. I choose the latter this time.</p><p>But they are very simple to do. Since we are making 12" finished blocks and the star is in 4 sections: 12 : 4 = 3 Each section should be finished 3" which means each square neads to be 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 </p><p>First I made the HSTs. Since I need 2 blocks for the BOM I used the <b>'<a href="http://www.blossomheartquilts.com/2015/05/hst-tutorial-eight-at-a-time/" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px; text-decoration: none;">HST - 8 at a time</a>'</b> method. You can also find that link on this blog if you click on the 'Quilt Tutorial/Pattern' tab on the top. </p><p>To make 8 at a time I used:</p><p>1 white 9" square and 1 red 9" square</p><p>1 white 9" square and 1 blue 9" square</p><p>1 red 9" square and 1 blue 9" square</p><p>Make sure you <b>trim each neatly</b> to 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Perfect squares and perfect 1/4 inch sewing foot make for a perfect block.</p><p>Of course you also need the white corner squares ... 8 for the 2 blocks. Easy peasy. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWaJ0Fvqfve2lvs1v27V5t3h-8cTozefU2qmUGq6jt949YNjZqDqThJRtIhH53T7j_YuaOYBYjMAXp1J6Z3kvqDAnUBv8ey7Amd0B8sScgyKRlOYr_0dQgDYS5EAbmux0RiTeZ87edEaU/s2048/813D09B1-D505-4E58-BA4E-36CC434E4A03_1_201_a.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWaJ0Fvqfve2lvs1v27V5t3h-8cTozefU2qmUGq6jt949YNjZqDqThJRtIhH53T7j_YuaOYBYjMAXp1J6Z3kvqDAnUBv8ey7Amd0B8sScgyKRlOYr_0dQgDYS5EAbmux0RiTeZ87edEaU/s320/813D09B1-D505-4E58-BA4E-36CC434E4A03_1_201_a.heic" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Play with the lay-out!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikTjYOVbC5w_kNE5-mAOItUQqr1TzabdXAHq7MzqSVPk-YE1wELIXm3CSd_GPxOTuMvYjJ0TfMkuLavwIVk4Xg2dM1YqQyWXp0ykfwN0ntgQsade7cg_XzWtHe3wCXh53JCJezEEn3f50/s2048/7B061DAA-C99D-4A4C-8D87-580E2B60E362.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikTjYOVbC5w_kNE5-mAOItUQqr1TzabdXAHq7MzqSVPk-YE1wELIXm3CSd_GPxOTuMvYjJ0TfMkuLavwIVk4Xg2dM1YqQyWXp0ykfwN0ntgQsade7cg_XzWtHe3wCXh53JCJezEEn3f50/s320/7B061DAA-C99D-4A4C-8D87-580E2B60E362.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGRi6kLg_yFlHuRye7a3YRkHNvyecIxvBt_vGsfPUJEtzxTqn_OjZQh9K4gYDwQxj0v0ut0LhV-BZt1QFL-841VBluxGJyhCAotGeDD6eycYjEOfa1FQ2j5KVoIa9OQ8z2_VzbN7H1Ut8/s2048/B80BF39C-E784-401D-98F9-12F0273FBFE0.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGRi6kLg_yFlHuRye7a3YRkHNvyecIxvBt_vGsfPUJEtzxTqn_OjZQh9K4gYDwQxj0v0ut0LhV-BZt1QFL-841VBluxGJyhCAotGeDD6eycYjEOfa1FQ2j5KVoIa9OQ8z2_VzbN7H1Ut8/s320/B80BF39C-E784-401D-98F9-12F0273FBFE0.heic" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Or give each of the 4 in the middle a half turn.

We got 27 charity blocks and of course the winner got about the same. My friend Janet had volunteered to be the "June block assembler" and she did that at the Thursday Stitchers (another charity sewing group we belong too). These are most of the blocks on the design walls for two quilts with sashing. The photos are a bit two yellow as you can see from the above blocks. But isn't this cool? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh, I probably should have said that these quilt go to the Stitchers who quilt the quilt tops which are made/donated and pass them on to many different worthy causes. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdEnDLsQAdyN1jX7WLyE4-Nt3Q5Rf6Syf3J26eNDDShxdzMxarUt0w1wYY68G1ddruKGr6IKfj60Y6BjFN4CnIbdaVPwxcxIL1LK4CqRrb-FXL5EXyBsI0PFWkTVJ9Mja2dHCxbiiSsxE/s2048/991A8B33-93A0-4493-8684-91DB25010C27_1_201_a.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdEnDLsQAdyN1jX7WLyE4-Nt3Q5Rf6Syf3J26eNDDShxdzMxarUt0w1wYY68G1ddruKGr6IKfj60Y6BjFN4CnIbdaVPwxcxIL1LK4CqRrb-FXL5EXyBsI0PFWkTVJ9Mja2dHCxbiiSsxE/s320/991A8B33-93A0-4493-8684-91DB25010C27_1_201_a.heic" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLGdQTMWSwJ3ltKglqDLU4YoAXuuP-GuqHqbTQW_3E_fVila-W0BeXMMr20_tYOZ0WS1Xvb0KLCaW4jXwj9BLgjfDnhfrb11-edGiV3lcq-UMmiCnZT3sEENsdYauUWQPIHX5fFJ8RyHQ/s2048/AA93430D-20EB-444A-A4AD-2ED10FF9F1AC.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLGdQTMWSwJ3ltKglqDLU4YoAXuuP-GuqHqbTQW_3E_fVila-W0BeXMMr20_tYOZ0WS1Xvb0KLCaW4jXwj9BLgjfDnhfrb11-edGiV3lcq-UMmiCnZT3sEENsdYauUWQPIHX5fFJ8RyHQ/s320/AA93430D-20EB-444A-A4AD-2ED10FF9F1AC.heic" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The WE Quilt Group was on Tuesday this week in the morning and the <b><u><a href="http://countryschoolquilters.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Country School Quilters</a></u></b> met in the evening (postponed from a week earlier because of the voting date).

And I don't even know why. The pandemic? Not motivated because of lack of quilters' meetings? Too much else to do? </p><p>All of the above! Ha, and I mended Caleb's favorite fleece jacket. It needed a new zipper. Finding the zipper to buy was the most difficult part of it. </p><p>My biggest problem is that in the middle of December I did something to my back and were in a lot of pain. I have to be very careful about movements and where I sit and how long.</p><p>But last week I decided that I needed a treat. The treat was just to forget about everything else and do some cutting and sewing. It went quite well.</p><p>I am a member of the FaceBook group "Quilt Block Lottery". Each month has a different block.<b> </b>You can make 1 or more of the block and each counts for a lottery entry. Whoever wins gets them all. Of course depending on participation there could be 2 or more winners.</p><p><b>March</b> was <u>Courthouse Steps</u>. Before I start I have to make myself clear notes of the requirements. I don't know whether I am allowed to include a link here to a file because of copyrights. So I better not. But I had fun writing myself clear directions and it only takes a few minutes. It avoids mistakes making the blocks.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9bypo8bOJlEGYkHh4el4FBEsYSnPCmXndji-zpaYHCNsFIcf6QcaOCdYua_jjbI38d5zkVMP-b5DOOYgRU1LmlPauApupGSakdfYSLnLO1JdqTmUGh4f3MRdaYCoCLUOkIdgohhuF6zQ/s594/Screen+Shot+2021-03-18+at+5.02.39+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="594" data-original-width="458" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9bypo8bOJlEGYkHh4el4FBEsYSnPCmXndji-zpaYHCNsFIcf6QcaOCdYua_jjbI38d5zkVMP-b5DOOYgRU1LmlPauApupGSakdfYSLnLO1JdqTmUGh4f3MRdaYCoCLUOkIdgohhuF6zQ/s320/Screen+Shot+2021-03-18+at+5.02.39+PM.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The color indicated was gray instead of the orange and teal instead of the blue.

Couple of weeks ago we attempted the "bar".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Way back in Paducah, Kentucky, we had bought what was then a huge TV. At that time it was still as deep as it was wide or high. We needed a piece of furniture for it but nothing was available. So we took paper and pencil and drew what we would like with measurements so it would fit that living room wall. It was built for us with mahogany wood. It was very practical and I always liked it very much ... hence it moved with us to Virginia. It can be unscrewed into three parts. The TV did not make that move. It weight a ton.</div>

I actually found an old photo from Paducah with the TV in it. The TV looks so small here. It was impressive way back then.</div>

Well, TVs have changed. Now they are flat and can even be mounted on walls. What to do with that deep hole in that wall unit? Btw it found its place on a perfect wall in the dining room. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the "hole" was turned into the bar. I had made a temporary curtain with strips of fabric even incorporating see-through pockets for photos. Quite smart ... for a while. After several years we decided it just wasn't that practical. James liked my suggestion.</div>

First we ordered online (because of social distancing) two wooden lazy susan and then built a shelf. James also found the perfect batterie light online which could be mounted (3M velcro) later on the ceiling of the "hole". </div>

But what to do about the closure of the opening? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I bought the cheapest window roller shades. For $9 I didn't have much to loose to try my idea? They come in different sizes and it fitted perfectly inside the opening. I should have taken a photo of the stark white cheap vinyl. Ugh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since I could not go shopping (because of the virus situation) I found the best suited material in my stash thinking that I could replace it later if things worked. I laminated that fabric and something suitable for the back (lining) with double-sided iron-on. It was something I had bought last year at the Hampton Quilt Show. It was for appliqué work and the seller had promised that you could cut the edge and it would never fray (hotfixadhesive.com). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cut the fabric to size and sewed a pocket at the bottom to slide in the stick from the vinyl shade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I unrolled the shades all the way, applied some repositioning glue (Craft Smart Off 'n On) to the top of the fabric according to directions. Then I attached it using the top line of the vinyl on the roll. I also held it up to make sure that the left and right edges of the vinyl were parallel to the fabric. When I was pleased with that I cut the vinyl off leaving about 1 inch in case I needed that straight line again as a guide. All was left to do was roll it up and put it into the mountings. </div>

The oldest of her three boys is 6 years and then there are 3 year old twins.<br />
<br />
Of course I agreed. Here is my first effort:<br />

I had to do a lot of research on the internet to find a pattern for children. <b><u><a href="https://www.craftpassion.com/face-mask-sewing-pattern/" target="_blank">THIS SITE</a></u></b> has a lot of useful information. The blog is very long and you have to scroll down far to find the links to download the PDF pattern. But it is well worth to read and learn. This is only a screenshot because I do not want to infringe on copyright.<br />

I printed all the different sizes on regular paper and then again on cardstock to cut out (for tracing).<br />
<br />
I had a lot of fun finding fabric in my stash with children's motives and fuzzy cutting. This size is for 3 to 6 year olds. Perfect.</div>

You cut the piece "Main Fabric" twice in opposite direction. (The stabilizing backing doesn't go all the way)</div>

Also cut the piece "Lining Fabric" twice in opposite direction. You need 4 pieces of iron-on backing. I cut the backing a little larger on 3 sides but flash on the straight side so I can match it with the line on the "Main Fabric" pattern. After ironing-on I trace and cut it out.</div>

As you can see in the above photo I decided to change the pattern a little though. When I tried my first "prototype" on one of my grandsons, I noticed that tying behind the head might be a problem. I found a bag in my stuff which had just the thing but I wasn't sure what it was called. I took it off the bag and used it on the "prototype". My daughter was excited about it.</div>

More research on the internet. With my husbands help we found the things called a <u>cord locks</u> which arrived soon. As with the elastic for the ear loops it was very difficult to find the right cord. Harbor Freight had very inexpensive 1/8 inch paracord but only in the second store I went to. </div>

I am still experimenting but found that the mask is more comfortable with a piece of wire sewed in. The link has a video with lots of options what to use. I found that a twist tie cut to 4 1/4 inches with the ends bend over to "un-sharpen" is very good.</div>

I made a mistake at one point and decided to correct it with a new tool I had bought at the Hampton Quilt Show earlier in the year. OMG, this ripper did an unbelievable job. In seconds it was done.</div>

I forgot to mention this about the paracord:<br />
<br />
You need to push back the outside so you can cut off a little of the inside.<br />

Pull the outside past the middle and hold the end for just a very brief moment into a flame. Then push it together. Otherwise the ends are fraying mercilessly. </div>

<br />
I have many sewing and quilting friends and some had started making masks. I found many patterns, uTubes and hints online but they were quite different from each other.<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Alegreya Sans"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">My younger daughter is a clinical pharmacist. The Director of the Pharmacy in the hospital where she works was sewing masks “just in case” and gave Sarah the pattern to forward to me.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Alegreya Sans"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The pharmacy had special requests. The outside of the masks had to be made of polyester material and the inside was cotton. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Alegreya Sans"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Alegreya Sans"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Most of the patterns online use only cotton, one piece folded over. Nurses voiced though that this might make it difficult to quickly identify (for sanitary reasons) which is the outside of a mask already in use.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Alegreya Sans"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">

<div style="font-family: "Alegreya Sans"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Here is my version of the clinical pharmacy pattern (PDF to print at the bottom).</span></div>

We call it the Hampton Quilt Show. It is a four day event (Thursday to Sunday) but we went on Friday February 28. I drove and my friends Janet, Becky and Marsha (all quilters) went with me. We started at 8:30 am because it's a drive of 1 hour and a half. It opens at 10 am and we were right there. We all had purchased tickets at a local store and passed a long line and walked right in.<br />
<br />
So much eye candy! There were lots of different "challenges" displayed. Here just some (a few) photos which I took to remind me and give me ideas. Or I just thought they are awesome.<br />

This exhibition really excited me. There were wall hangings about different National Parks. This exhibit was also on display last year. Afterwards I had heard from a German quilter (I read her blog) that she had had a quilt in this exhibition. I had been very sorry not to know that at the time.</div>

Janet, Becky, Marsha and I felt we should get home quickly and start sewing. </div>

<span style="font-family: AGaramond; font-size: 12pt;">All you scrap savers and scrappy quilt lovers, come see the Cabin in the Woods trunk show, "All Scrapped Out." These are sure to be inspiring. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: AGaramond; font-size: 12pt;">Designer Penni Domikis will show how to step away from the cutting table and ironing board and Just use the ones you already have. No need to cut into your stash of yardage... Just use your scraps and turn them into something spectacular. Learning from experience, Penni will show how to make “free” quilts with all those leftovers others throw away.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: AGaramond; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: AGaramond; font-size: 12pt;">The above paragraph is from the newsletter. The program was surely inspiring. Penni was funny and here are the samples I liked best. </span></div>

On February 7 I took a serger class at the All Brands shop. The lesson was about how to make a quilt from flannel fabric with a serger. The teacher had also samples about other work with a serger. Very interesting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I tried to work with my serger as soon as I was home. I did not have a satisfying result though. More trying needed. Don't give up.</div>

James' sister Jane in England came through for us again and cross-stitched the 24 Chrismons (again). With them I made another Chrismon Advent calendar. I think it turned out even nicer then <a href="https://laceandquilts.blogspot.com/2017/08/church-raffle-2017-done.html" target="_blank">THIS ONE.</a><br />
<br />
I started with printing the 24 stars with numbers and the 24 explanations of the symbols on fabric sheets. I processed the sheets according to the instructions for them. Then I added double sided iron-on to the back side of these sheets.<br />
The symbol explanations are used to close the backs of the ornaments.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The ornaments were constructed like I explained <a href="https://laceandquilts.blogspot.com/2019/11/i-promised.html" target="_blank">HERE!</a> except these are square instead of round. I laid all ornaments out and paired the explanations to make sure each was on the right one before I started the ironing-on. </div>

It is Christmas! Of course it would look different every year because you choose the symbol each day. It gives an opportunity for discussion ... especially since the meaning of the symbol is written on the back of each. Two over the door hooks and a rod is all what is needed. But you could also use 3M hooks on the wall you can easily take off after the season. </div>

I have been asked several times whether the cross-stitch patterns can be purchased. 9 of them are my designs ... because I needed 24 ... but 15 of them were from a very old booklet. I decided now to share all because the old patterns can't be bought anywhere. The original designer is not cheated out of any money. I don't want the patterns to get lost. </div>

And I had committed myself too. Once you have the free tickets and parking permit there is no returning. To be honest, I do like demonstrating. I felt rewarded because I taught a young women (teenager?) to tat in 5 minutes. I always tell them: you can either learn in 5 minutes or never. It's all about the tension on the right thread. She was so happy ... which of course made me happy.<br />

Our bed needed a big quilt. We did not have one this big. There was one fabric, the flowery one, which I really wanted to use. I had bought it in Singapore and liked it very much. Most of the fabric is from my stash except for the light green one. It didn't look so "loud" in the shop. Once I started with it, I felt I needed to continue. I still like the pattern but not sure about my color choices.<br />
<br />
The pattern was free as part of the FaceBook group NQC Quilt Block Challenge. Wow, I just looked it up. The group has 64,644 members. The design is "Medallion Mystery" by Toby Lischko of www.gatewayquiltsnstuff.com<br />
To be honest, I like her color choices better. How knows, I might make it again.<br />
