Welcome to New Mexico!!<br />
<br />
<b>How does my writing / creative process work: </b>Those who know me may be surprised to learn that the creative process for me is very introverted. I have never been one to collaborate, to put ideas up for input, or any of some of the methods some very talented people use to get their juices flowing. Rather, I generally internalize feelings or moods, or let ideas percolate for a very very long time in order to get a grip on what I want to do. OR I just react quickly and spontaneously and make a quilt very fast and very organically.<br />
<br />
For example, I have a quilt that I have been planning for several months, in my head, with a few sketches written down here and there. Often, I will just imagine the construction, play with the layout and try to get in touch with my purpose and story of the quilt -- all in my head. When I finally get around to making my project, it literally will feel like I have made it before.<br />
<br />
Here is one done with the percolate method:<br />

<b>Why do I write/create what I do: </b>I create to keep my sanity within manageable and socially-acceptable boundaries. I think it is genetic or at least so ingrained in my nurturing that I must create. My mother is an oil painter, extreme seamstress (wedding dresses and tuxes, for example), furniture reupholsterer, calligrapher, banner-maker for the church, costume designer for school plays, embroiderer, scrap-booker, knitter . . . . . the list is nearly endless. Likewise, my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/artbyanthonyjenny" target="_blank">oldest son</a> is an artist, working in oil painting, digital photo-shop, pastels, acrylics, pen and ink, and also writes screenplays and works in film production, and my <a href="https://soundcloud.com/yummymopey" target="_blank">youngest son</a> is a music producer. SO creativity is all around. I was raised with art supplies all around as were my sons, and now my stepkids.<br />
<br />
I have a very analytical <a href="http://www.gromanlaw.com/" target="_blank">"day job"</a> and need a respite, a place to have a distinct voice and personality from others, and a desire to be productive in a different kind of way. I think handmade whether it is arts or crafts is a way to express and connect with yourself and others.<br />
<br />
I have a longarm quilting machine that allows me to finish my quilts the way I want, and I also quilt for others - I like the process of trying to figure out how to complement the existing design with stitching.<br />
<br />
I have been a "serial crafter" trying lots of different media until finally landing on quilting in 2003 and I think this is where I will stay . . . although you never know!<br />
<br />
<b>What am I working on:</b> I have a variety of projects going on at any one time - I do make a lot of quilts from commercial patterns and standard quilt blocks or techniques that I put together in my own unique way. <br />

BUT my big background project is my EPIC ALICE quilt, which has been slumbering for a number of years, but is ready to get going again. This is a 100 percent out of my brain quilt that is organically progressing. It's a combination of pieced and applique, mostly applique, and looks like it will be approximately 80 by 90 inches or so when completed, depicting scenes from Alice in Wonderland. It will be loud and bold and messy with lots of embellishing.<br />
<br />
I am also in the process of designing a Native American / modern / quirky row quilt with feathers, arrows, teepees, fish, the phases of the moons. Shades of eggplant, vibrant orange, kelly green, brown and royal blue with lots of white. My friends think it's crazy, so I should have a winner.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am also making some cute tote bags and working on Christmas projects that I cannot reveal.<br />
<br />
On the longarm side, I am working on finishing a lot of Christmas projects for others.<br />
<br />
<b>How Does My Work Differ from Others in my Genre: </b>I don't think I take myself too seriously. I have a bit of recklessness in my design process, the production methods and my color choices. I also don't really stick to a theme or style. I know a lot of artists or quilters where their art is instantly recognizable, say, applique flowers in batiks, or stars in primitive fabrics, but I have too much I want to do in any one particular category.<br />

My longarm quilting is (I hope) unique in that every quilt gets something that fits that quilt's mood, design, intention (limited only by budget). I tend to freehand everything and love that liberation.<br />

I nominated a couple of bloggers, but they got back to me that they had already done it so I will find 2 others and update this post. <br />
Thanks, and happy creating!!<br />

I have no idea why some of these pictures are sideways and I do not know how to turn them, so here they are. This is the "neighborhood charm" quilt from <a href="http://www.modabakeshop.com/2012/08/neighborhood-charm-quilt.html" target="_blank">Moda Bake Shop</a>. I used the <a href="http://sweetwater.typepad.com/makelifesweet/2013/03/road-15.html" target="_blank">Sweetwater Road 15</a> charm pack, also from Moda. I could not resist going crazy with the detail quilting, that I did all freestyle, no marking, no planning, on my Nolting Longarm machine with Superior Threads. I really love the little teardrop triler and the lemonade stand and the laundry on the line. I had a great time thinking of all the fun stuff to put in my neighborhood.</div>

Anne made this for her bed in beautiful blues and purples. A couple of the fabrics featured butterflies, so I stitched a few hundred more onto the quilt in a lovely lavender thread.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqbAVTepAnjwFmboL38X1-5pZSz2slZrdfoK9nhNdIblgkHbmTqiyj9Ui0ajM9MS-RPbOWezmEnLQbZGDiuF3eKTox8JhmSmrghIIXtoYeWgwtmATuxiGts6iXrF1ihs5xJDUMt4ofC5H3/s1600/IMG_0724%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqbAVTepAnjwFmboL38X1-5pZSz2slZrdfoK9nhNdIblgkHbmTqiyj9Ui0ajM9MS-RPbOWezmEnLQbZGDiuF3eKTox8JhmSmrghIIXtoYeWgwtmATuxiGts6iXrF1ihs5xJDUMt4ofC5H3/s320/IMG_0724%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

This next one was a blast! It's mine. I made it It is made from Moda charm pack and the pattern is Neighborhood Charm from the moda bake shop. I loved stitching all of the whimsical designs on this. Sorry for the sideways photos!! All of the stitching on this was done freehand, no marking, no templates, just off the top of my head as I was playing.<br />

FIRST, what's coming up at <a href="http://gatheringstitches.com/" target="_blank">Gathering Stitch</a>es: Starting in October, we are going to have "Stashaholics" group, the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 6ish to 9ish and we are going to work on projects, get inspiration and all kinds of tips and tricks. Go to the website or call Julie to sign up - there are a few spaces left!! We are encouraging attendance by having you purchase a passport (stashport?) for $20, then if you attend at least 9 sessions in 12 months, you get a $20 gift certificate to spend in the store. So, basically get your $ back for just coming to hang out and sew!! We will have projects and organized scrap exchanges, but also you are welcome to bring whatever you want to work on during that time. No machine? no problem. We have those too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

(I had the pleasure of meeting Nancy in Portland and she is super sweet! Her book has a great theme to it for those who love scrap quilting - each quilt is shown in 3 ways: planned, coordinated and make-do)</div>

Starting my law practice, attending my first Quilt Market, moving, the graduation of oldest son from UCLA and the not-so-fun road trip home, a baptism of the pumpkin and sadly, the passing of my mother-in-law have been the main focus of the past couple of months. Consequently, I have not been updating the blog. <br />
<br />
Consequently, I have so much to share . . . <br />
Here are some table runners I designed and made for <a href="http://gatheringstitches.com/" target="_blank">Gathering Stitches</a> as part of the flower of the month series:<br />

So the drama was getting our car towed from in front of the hotel at 3 am on Saturday morning, the day we were supposed to head back home, and being stuck until Monday when the DMV offices were open to sort it out. I suppose there are worse places to be stuck then in L.A. near the beach, but we were not planning on 2 extra days at the hotel, renting a car, and the headache of standing in line at DMV Monday morning. (I got to the DMV at 6:45 am for an 8:00 opening and was #30 in line!!) We were originally told it would be about $1100 to cure the registration snafu issue, but thankfully a call to the New Mexico MVD and $7.00 and one faxed temporary tag later, we were back on the road home.<br />

I quilted this cute little buckaroo quilt that Connie made: I did lassos and stars in gold.<br />

I finally gave in . . . No, I didn't break my diet (what diet?) and gobble up a pan of brownies. . . (mmmm, brownies) like Jessie in my favorite 1979 after school special with Rex Smith <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sooner-Later-Denise-Miller/dp/B000056T4G" target="_blank">"Sooner or Later"</a><br />
<br />
No, I added YARN to my list of crafty obsessions, picked up a crochet hook, asked my mom to teach me, and started a NEW HOBBY. I sorta made a pact with myself to not do this . . . but, in my defense, <strike>IT WAS ALL PINTEREST's FAULT</strike>. I mean, I wanted a hobby that I could easily do in the car, while watching t.v., that sort of thing, and it's hard to sew on a machine while passenger in a car, and hand sewing is not my thing. I have promised to limit myself to one basket of yarn at a time. NO building up a stash. Use what's in the basket before moving on. (STOP LAUGHING). . .<br />
<br />
Anyway, you have to check this out. <a href="http://marthastewart.lionbrand.com/patterns/L10635.html" target="_blank">Teacups and saucers</a>! In crochet! I know, so cute.<br />
<span id="goog_1508366124"></span><span id="goog_1508366125"></span><br />
<br />
Actually, just go check out my <a href="http://pinterest.com/quiltilicious/boards/" target="_blank">pinterest</a> - I have already a list of projects I want to make. Today, I am going to work on these <a href="http://marthastewart.lionbrand.com/patterns/L10193F.html" target="_blank">adorable cup holders</a>, to build my skills. If you know me, you will probably get one in your Christmas stocking this year, so act surprised. I will be working on this, you know, when I am sitting on the couch, or passengering or when I am supposed to be working . . . <br />
<br />
The craftalanche continues.<br />
<span id="goog_293382322"></span><span id="goog_293382323"></span><br />
<br />
Oh, and here is the April placemat / table runner I designed for <a href="http://gatheringstitches.com/" target="_blank">Gathering Stitches,</a> also I will be teaching some classes in May-July timeframe, so keep checking the Gathering Stitches website, and also click on the link and check out the block of the month. It is stunning. Go. Go now, check it out. Time is running out to join, you will want to do this one, I promise.<br />
<br />
[something is not working with blogger today or maybe it's my computer, but I cannot upload pictures. will try later]<br />

OK, so life / other events. I have decided to return to the practice of law, more or less full time, so I studied for (while working full time), took and PASSED the NM state Bar Exam!! hooray!! and I have opened my own law practice here in NM. www.gromanlaw.com. Hubs and I will still work together - he as a notary, process server and legal document courier. Very excited to have the flexibility to quilt on the side, too.</div>

<br />
First, a one day, quick n easy class on Thursday August 16 from 9 to 1. This is a technique, not an original pattern, but one that can be used in a wide variety of ways when you need to make a fast quilt. There are a couple of tricks and things to be aware of that I will show you, but mostly we will just get to creating!<br />

I love being able to edit photos, because this was the source photo for the close-up above. Why do I look like I am yelling? Maybe because my quilt has feet! It's trying to run away!! oh, no, that's just Jane hiding behind.<br />

Messenger Bag class on August 22. 5 to 8 pm. I have scoured the internet and all my patterns for bags and instead I have decided to make my own pattern! big surprise, I know. I will share my simple variation on the classic over-the-shoulder messenger style bag. An alternative to a backpack, diaper bag or purse. Pictures to follow as soon as I finish the sample.<br />

Fall In Stars is an original pattern comprised of 3 simple star blocks. Strip and chain piecing and the use of a special ruler, the "Tri-Recs" ruler will have you on your way to completing this quilt in no time. Super fun, high energy class. Music, food, and extra goodies await! Friday night, September 28, 7-late.<br />

And we also have the 54-40 or fight quilt that I named "Oregon Stars." Black and yellow stars; on point. The special trick here is that we will cut out our quilt using the Accu-quilt dies! Makes quick work of your cutting! September 8 from 9 to 1.<br />
<br />
<br />
Finally, remember our table runner of the month! September 7 from 3-5 pm, the September runner will be revealed. HINT: the flower is morning glory. HINT: the featured technique is paper piecing. HINT: it will be a lot simpler than August!<br />
<br />
Here is the August table runner I designed for our flower of the month table runner at Gathering Stitches (the flower of the month is poppies), please ignore the fact that the binding is not finished on the right side. Also, I intend to add some beads to the center of the open poppies:<br />

QUESO, it felt really cool to walk into the Bosque Farms Fair and see 3 quilts that I quilted for my friend and VVQ quilting buddy Valerie, hanging up with BLUE RIBBONS and A PURPLE BEST IN SHOW RIBBON!! I love her work, and was honored to have worked on her masterpieces! She has a great eye for design and color, and her inventive borders have inspired me in my piecing.<br />

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

Sweetie and I are having a wonderful summer. Brian was home from college (UC Santa Barbara) for a nice long 3 week stay, (of course, never long enough for me). We relaxed, ate well, got trounced in scrabble by Sweetie, and went to a quilt show in Alamogordo where Brian learned how to use the longarm and schmooze the customers. Thanks Brian for all your help! He is now working at his uncle's restaurant in Northern California, and will be back for Labor Day week before the fall quarter begins. <br />
<br />
Next, our best friend Kim came for a way too short visit. One week was not enough time to sew all our our quilts, eat all the food we wanted and drink all of Sonic's Diet Cherry Limeade. ALAS! While she was here, she organized our Modern Quilt Guild charity sew-in, by getting all of our piles separated and aligned so that all the ladies had to do was sit n sew. Pattern is by the husband and wife team of <a href="http://www.funquilts.com/" target="_blank">Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr</a>, and was published in a recent quilt magazine, but I can't recall which one. Fabrics were selected by the group last month based on a magazine photo of a flower in partial bloom and this quilt was on its way.<br />

</tbody></table>
Then a few of the members of our Modern Guild got together and pieced the top, in one day! And we still had time to eat yummy enchiladas made by Sweetie, and his beanless bean dip. ha ha. This will be quilted by me, bound by someone other than me ;-) and then auctioned off for charity in November. Would you like a ticket? Let me know. . . <br />
We had originally thought the color pallete was a very nice fall into Christmas colorway, but after we had it pieced, Sweetie said it looked like a watermelon patch! I think he is right.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Next, we have an in-progress quilt that I am working on. I taught this class at Gathering Stitches and decided to make one along with the group. Sweetie named this one, too. He said, "it looks like a Koi Pond" so there you go, Koi Pond.<br />

Finally, We have our table runner of the month club coming up on Friday, August 3. At 3 pm, we will unveil the August Poppy tablerunner. Here is a hint: It is southwestern in feel. Includes an original paper-pieced center, some original traditionally pieced blocks, and some applique. Hooray for poppies!</div>

Who is this Dude? Why is he yelling? He is a drawing I am working on for a quilt guild challenge. The VVQ are having a quilt show soon and we decided to make little quilted signs to remind visitors not to touch the quilts. Well, I recalled a story when the kids and I were in a museum in France, and Anthony was pretending to "shoot" a machine gun that was on display. The guard got frantic and started screaming, "Ne pas toucher!" and running down the hall. Now that is what we tell Punkin when she is trying to reach out and touch something in a store. So, I decided to make a cartoon guard yelling at the folks. I will be transferring this guy to fabric and he will "yell" to not touch the quilts. I tried to print him on fabric last night with all the lettering done with cool wordart fonts and stuff, but I messed up and set the printer for t-shirt transfer and it printed out backwards! Our guild is doing this as a challenge and the winner gets a free lunch. Motivation to finish it!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<img src="http://www.ctpub.com/client/Products/ProdimageLg/10865.jpg" style="background-color: white;" />As a quilter with more books in my personal library than my
local quilt store (really, I have counted), it takes a very special book to get
my attention. <a href="http://www.ctpub.com/productdetails.cfm?PC=2568" target="_blank">Elizabeth Hartman’s “ModernPatchwork”</a> has done that and more. This
book has all of the prerequisites to gain a spot on my shelf: First, the quilts are artistic and
photographed very well – this could be a coffee table book, valued for its
artistic self. (Photos by Christina
Carty-Francis and Diane Pederson.) Elizabeth (check out her <a href="http://www.ohfransson.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>) has captured the modern quilting look, and yet, as she states, her patterns are
of a more challenging nature than other modern quilt patterns I have seen. Second, the quilts are calling me to make
them – each and every one of them.
Ordinarily, if there are 2 or 3 quilts per book that I would consider
making, the book is a winner. With this
book, I want to make all of them. Based
on the names alone, who wouldn’t want to make “Roller Rink,” “Looptastic,” or “Fire
Drill,” just to name 3 of the 12 quilts in this book. Third, there is a unique aspect to the
book. Elizabeth not only shows different
color options for making the quilt, and discusses her thought process for
selecting fabrics, she also offers an assist on what to do with the
backing. Backings are rarely addressed
in quilting books, and Elizabeth has done a fantastic job of creating beautiful
yet simple backings to complement the quilt tops. Finally, the directions are simple to read,
simple to follow, and in full color with a lot of illustrations, and the back
of the book contains tips on fabric, color, cutting, piecing and quilting from
which beginners and advanced quilters alike will benefit. Although I have granted a spot on my shelf
for this book, I don’t intend for it to sit on that shelf – I expect it will be
sitting right beside me on my worktable.</div>

I am starting to work on "Glam Garlands" now that I have some goody goody scraps left over from my last project, a quilt for our bed! what? crazy talk!! That one will be seen on this very blog once it is quilted. Stay tuned. .. . </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

I also am going to talk to my LQS and see about teaching a project or two from this book. LOVE THESE QUILTS!!<br />

p.s. AFTER I posted this, I went over to see what Monica was up to. Yes, <a href="http://thehappyzombie.com/blog/?p=563" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">Monica</a><span style="background-color: white;"> at The Happy Zombie always has the best blog posts! (And the best patterns, best stories, best fabrics.) You must go see her</span><a href="http://thehappyzombie.com/blog/?p=563" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank"> adorable quilt and the post that goes with it.</a><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;"> She started with alphabet letter pattern by Elizabeth Hartman (yes, the very same whose book I just reviewed - small world, huh?) and then spelled out "Treat Yo Self" from an episode of Parks and Recreation which I had to then place over here as a clip so I can watch it a lot. I love Aziz Ansari. I love his rant about thread counts and Cold Stone. hilarious. I think we all need a "treat yo self" day and mini quilt.</span></div>

We have been kinda busy here at Sunshine Quilting. Just returned from a great 2 day show in Pueblo, Colorado where we met some very nice people and ate some very <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/place?rlz=1C1SNNT_enUS405US405&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=do+drop+inn+pueblo&fb=1&gl=us&hq=do+drop+inn+pueblo&cid=14460277959574082752&ei=eUiMT5XACObciAKRl5y1Cw&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=photo-link&cd=3&resnum=5&ved=0CAwQnwIoAjAE" target="_blank">delicious pizza</a> and tasty beer. We had such a great time demonstrating the fabulous<a href="http://www.nolting.com/" target="_blank"> Nolting longarm machines</a>, and now I cannot wait to return to quilting some more customer quilts.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Speaking of customer quilts and deliciousness, here are some photos of a couple of quilts made by Lisa which I had the honor of quilting last week. First up is this really unique mystery quilt. The pattern is from the book by<a href="http://www.ctpub.com/contributorinfo.cfm?ContribID=228" target="_blank"> M'Liss Rae Hawley, Fat Quarter Quilts</a> And the fabrics used by Lisa screamed for a metallic gold thread. Yes, screamed. Loud. I used a panto on this quilt called<a href="http://lorienquilting.com/store/index.php/paper/pantographs/by-designer/lorien-quilting/fantasia.html" target="_blank"> "Fantasia"</a> which I just love. It is a nice feathery design that contrasts with the sharp geometry of the piecing, yet has that sort of Asian peacock feather feel that I thought would complement the Asian theme fabrics of the quilt.<br />

Lisa's other quilt was a tasty modern quilt made with Cherrywood fabrics. I did not think to get a snap of the overall quilt, but here is the detail. Lisa and I chose a "watery meander" that I did freehand to enhance but not detract from the solid bars of color. I used a mulberry colored thin 50 weight thread on this one. <a href="http://www.superiorthreads.com/product/search/?keywords=438" target="_blank">Superior Threads, so fine #438</a>.</div>

Went to Road 2 California quilt show last week as a helper-vendor for Nolting, and it was Crazee! Bummer part of it was that John was sick, so I had to go it alone. BUT I learned a lot of stuff from Julie, Tom, Lance and Dan, about how to present the product, set up and take down the booth, and all kinds of good quilty information.<br />
<br />
I was humbled by the amazing talent, inspired by the colors, products and patterns, and awed by the number of people that went past our little corner.<br />

Booker has some strong opinions on my quilting and crafting. Here, he is looking down at the quilt top I sorta almost finished for Jessica, and he is thinking that I really really should have finished this by Christmas like I said I would. </div>

Back to quilts, here is a quilt I made for a customer, start to finish. This is based on the tube quilting method found here at <a href="http://www.patchworkbabyquilt.com/make-a-summer-in-the-park-quilt-using-jelly-rolls.html" target="_blank">Missouri Quilt Co</a>. Instead of 2 strip sets of 3 fabric, I used a strip of 3 fabrics, and then a solid for the other half to give a half square triangle effect.</div>

Life is good, even when it whirls around you. It was so windy today I had a hard time thinking!<br />
<br />
Queso, what's new? I have been busy doing customer quilts, my own projects, and starting another aspect of our business - distributors and representatives of Nolting Longarm machines in AZ, NM, West Texas and Southern Colorado! <br />
<br />
We traveled to Iowa to meet with the company president and all of the employees, and got to see how these amazing machines are manufactured - all right here in the USA, starting with a block of aluminum and ending with a precision longarm machine. Iowa was beautiful, as was our trip from St. Louis and through Mark Twain land, Amish country and the Amana Colonies.<br />

We are looking forward to an install in Colorado in the next week or so - should be an adventure traversing the mountain passes - yikes!<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, on with the quilt photos - first is an adorable sunflower quilt made by Julie in sections on her embroidery machine. SO COOL. I did little "seeds" in the center, left the light petals unquilted and did a very light quilting in the darker yellow petals, the leaves, and then did a radiating pattern outward in the "sky". Awesome quilt.<br />

Next is a quilt made by Carol P and quilted by me with a sunburst type meander that I did in freehand over the quilt top - the sunlight photo shows off the quilting nicely. I used a lovely shade of So Fine thread that virtually disappeared on the top. The batting is Quilter's Dream 80/20 poly blend that I dearly love - just a wee bit of loft to show the quilting, but lays nice and flat.<br />

Below is another customer quilt - a fairy godmother job - the customer gave me the fabrics and pattern that her daughter wanted her to make into a quilt. She passed it on to me, and I pieced, quilted and bound the adorable 52x76 quilt. The pattern is a "tube quilting" pattern that you can peep at <a href="http://tutorials.missouriquiltco.com/" target="_blank">Missouri Quilts</a>. umm, and yes, I am wearing gloves while quilting this one. It is COLD here in the studio in the mornings now!!<br />

I took a workshop day at my local guild, the Valencia Valley Quilters, and learned how to make this cute block: it is a combination of prairie point type folds and cathedral window style turns. It's going to be a nice pillow.<br />

Queso, shopping anyone? I did the VAST majority online and in my studio.. So glad that I stayed in and continued to digest my turkey dinner instead of battling over the latest electronic gadget. I heard stories of hair pulling and pushing and shoving - nice, ladies, well done.<br />

So, we live in the land of "Breaking Bad" and we have become unofficial location scouts. Every time we see a cool building or landscape, we think, "this would be a good scene for the t.v. show. Case in point:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqOTckvii1vzuUpjNUnqNHWjbOxQHhVlWntisWuDoZCs6t3c1G853p6K2KarwJn-jn1VQXJAc3U4q4cOZ4ZuDTs5URd8r4QDwo7LGh_JxuEKGwJ5nGNfmvT4emQ4c_DWFe7dgNyFa9X4AX/s1600/2011-10-08_14-40-25_251.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqOTckvii1vzuUpjNUnqNHWjbOxQHhVlWntisWuDoZCs6t3c1G853p6K2KarwJn-jn1VQXJAc3U4q4cOZ4ZuDTs5URd8r4QDwo7LGh_JxuEKGwJ5nGNfmvT4emQ4c_DWFe7dgNyFa9X4AX/s320/2011-10-08_14-40-25_251.jpg" width="320" /></a>We were out driving around and came upon this building. I set the camera to "sepia" and took this picture. Is this not the coolest abandoned bar? I think Gus will be pulling up any minute. Uh-oh, this isn't looking good. Well, good-bye Bar. (See! You totally believed that they blew up this bar!! I told you i was perfect!)</div>

The other great event in October is of course, Halloween! and yay, I found this wall hanging that Kim and I made in a class taught by<a href="http://www.redthreadstudios.blogspot.com/"> Pati.</a> I had lost it for awhile, but found it hiding in the Halloween decorations. Now I just need to add some binding and finish it off.</div>

On a Quilty note, here are the potholders I made for a swap with the Atlanta Modern Quilt Guild. My swap buddy likes aqua (the color of the vintage mason jars) and white with splashes of red, so here is what I came up with. I have been drawing a lot of birds lately . . . weird. I can't wait to receive my pot holders.</div>

We had a great time in Santa Barbara,GO GAUCHOS!!<img height="131" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/UCSB.gif" width="200" /><br />
<br />
met Kim down there and got the younger one all set for school. We got him the coolest orange beach cruiser and checked out some great restaurants and stuff. We took a side trip to Ventura and ventured into "<a href="http://www.superbuzzy.com/">Superbuzzy</a>" headquarters!! Kelly was soooo nice, and let us wander the warehouse of her online store that specializes in Japanese fabric and other Japan-abilia like HELLO KITTY. We shopped, shopped, left for lunch, came back and shopped more. Sweetie was very patient. We got some luscious loot.<br />

And, here is what I have been working on, on the design wall - a memory quilt made from calendar year tea towels, a commissioned quilt from my Aunt for her mother. It will be two sided when done. A great way to preserve the towels and see them all out at the same time.<br />

OH, and we went to the New Mexico State Fair, yes to check out the fried foods, but also to check out my quilts that I entered. I entered 6 items and won 4 ribbons - a first, a second and two thirds. My table-runner and a wall-hanging did not place. Here is Spiked Melon proudly wearing its third place ribbon:<br />

Well that about does it to catch up. Chat at ya soon, and until then, I will be going to a quilt show and vendor fair on Saturday, watching football on Sunday, and quilting every chance I get. Oh, and in case I don't get back here before then, Happy Birthday to me on the 13th. Cheers.<br /><br />

Before I get to all that, I really need to be marketing my fledgling business and the website is ALMOST READY. www.sunshinequilting.com is the site. Check it regularly and one day it will magically appear. Thanks to Lucy at Pearcenet designs.<br />

SO, What's on the Quilting Frame? The Nolting 24 pro in the Sunshine Quilting studio is getting a workout!<br />
Here are the baby quilts I did this week:<br />
<br />
First up is this adorable cars quilt made by my friend Jeannie. I quilted each car differently. The blue one has flames, the orange one has a surfboard on top, the yellow one a banana,the purple one has a star, and the red one (that has the country boy in it) has rope like a rodeo cowboy.<br />

And, what's cooking? As the title of this post implies, it is green chile season here in New Mexico. If you don't know how this works, it is pretty cool. Folks line up to buy a box or two or three of chile (15 lbs or so each), then take it outside the store and have it roasted on an open flame. Then it is placed in bags and it "sweats" for a few hours so you can peel the skin off. Wearing rubber gloves of course. Then when you are done, you put the roasted, peeled chile in zippered bags and freeze. When needed, you take a bag out, defrost, add garlic, salt, and add to recipes, to eggs, to pizza, burgers, mashed potatoes, as desired. Here is Sweetie laboring over the chile.</div>

And the finished product. I know this looks like an episode of "Breaking Bad" (which is filmed here in the Albuquerque area) but it is really legit. ALTHOUGH now that I say that, this stuff is treated like a valuable 'commodity' that people will ration, bargain for, trade and hoard. It goes something like, oh crap, I only have three bags of chile left and it's only June -- the harvest is two months away. Maybe I will call Dad and see if he has any left - I can trade him for some when we get our new supply." SERIOUSLY. <br />

This is Lindsay's wild and colorful version. I keep calling it "fruit punch". Believe it or not, Lindsay originally planned to use mostly solids, and mostly deep dark plums and magentas. The quilt had other ideas. Go, Quilt, Go!

We bought a long arm machine!!! Yes, yes, yes, I am about to enter the world of long arm quilting. I have been test driving and borrowing and renting, and I have decided to "just do it" So we drove up to the dealer's place in Anderson in the shadows of snow-capped Mt. Shasta - beautiful drive -- and did the deed. I got a Nolting 24" with a 12 foot frame. WOW. It's so exciting!! Taking delivery this summer. I cannot wait to start quilting like a madwoman. . .Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06219012195697842766noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4584209133869027797.post-71805871215243124772011-02-18T10:48:00.000-08:002011-02-23T11:36:29.888-08:00next stop: total quilt domination<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg68KrAeVNHhOqgWiRs6NgiMyy5Nk1MegT0WoUl1wla5zWL_5qKxQbr8bGe8zzbXOgluhogtb2XmqIlXRcHe5Muh3SmMWciBet4YIxR-IsJmWbAOPwpqLVaZvjXk4e4hRl7ZKJPGco3kRl1/s1600/singer+185K.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 181px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576962495432178066" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg68KrAeVNHhOqgWiRs6NgiMyy5Nk1MegT0WoUl1wla5zWL_5qKxQbr8bGe8zzbXOgluhogtb2XmqIlXRcHe5Muh3SmMWciBet4YIxR-IsJmWbAOPwpqLVaZvjXk4e4hRl7ZKJPGco3kRl1/s320/singer+185K.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Sweetie has started a sewing machine repair and resale business to add to our efforts to dominate quilt making from all sides.
