The adventure: trucking across the United States. The goal: visit every quilt shop I can (at least one from every state) and bring home souvenirs. I wasn't able to make that goal in the 8 months we were out, but now I'm happily home and sewing more than ever :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07882380438204437297noreply@blogger.comBlogger19125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-611992550121059268.post-36530498154485434252015-10-09T13:06:00.001-07:002015-10-09T13:06:16.891-07:00Flower Power!Since we got off the road and I got a full-time job, my potential sewing time has been reduced dramatically. I do not like this. There's still 2 more quilts I want to finish by Christmas, and at this rate, that's never going to happen. I'm confident I'll get the tops done, but getting them quilted is a totally different story. I need to get them in NOW, otherwise there's no way they'll get done by Christmas :( But I'll keep truckin' along, hopefully the odds will be in my favor! On a positive note, I FINALLY got the Flower Power block from my Mario quilt done.<br />

What I think is crazy is how big the individual squares start out (they're only 1 1/2 inch squares, but it looks big compared to the finished product), and how little they end up. Here's a picture during my progress, before it was done:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That big square in the corner? Pre-sewn. After I sewed it, it fit into that TINY corner perfectly. Sorcery!<br />
<br />
As another example, I started my next block, the coin. When I took this pic, I had actually sewn the bottom half together (horizontally), but the top half hadn't been touched yet. You can kind of see the difference:<br />

Pretty hard to tell...but it's a lot more obvious when you see the real thing. This pattern is from the <a href="http://www.corasquilts.com/quilt-alongs/mario/" target="_blank">Cora's Quilts Mario quilt along</a>, in case anyone wants to check it out =P<br />

I've got plenty of shenanigans planned this weekend: my sister-in-law has her baby shower, where I'll get to gift the owl quilt and stuffie! Woohoo! Looking forward to that :) After the shower, I'm heading to St. Helens, where they have a traditional pumpkin lighting every year in honor of Halloweentown, which was a pretty awesome made-for-TV Disney Channel movie that was filmed in St. Helens! And THIS year, the pumpkin lighting is being done by the star of Halloweentown (Marnie)! WHAAAT!?! Seeing the movie now that I'm older, it's pretty corny, but it's my childhood and I'm SO excited to see it!!<br />
<br />
Sunday is Funday! No official plans, but I'm going to get some sewing done, as well as a few other DIY crafts I found on Pinterest that I want to test out before I start making them as presents (and I want to play with them...but...it's mostly the testing thing).<br />
<br />
So anywho, this weekend should be fun, and hopefully I'll get stuff done! More progress updates coming early next week, I hope :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07882380438204437297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-611992550121059268.post-78493757414824710582015-09-29T19:14:00.001-07:002015-09-29T19:14:53.125-07:00I'm Dreaming Of A......DIY Christmas! I discovered Pinterest a few weeks ago, and I have been having WAY too much fun with it! I've decided I want all my presents to be DIY this year, because it's usually so much cheaper and also a lot of fun :)<br />
<br />
Before I start, I have a couple apologies:<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<ol>
<li>I know this is primarily a quilting blog, but I really don't want to start an entire new blog for all the other crafts I do. At least, not right now. If you'd rather I only posted quilty stuff on here, then let me know :)</li>
<li>I am not a creative person. Although I quilt, most patterns and designs I use are either really easy, or I purchased them from someone else. Same goes for all the crafts I'm going to post, I found them all on Pinterest. So apologies for all the external links, but I'm going to give credit where credit is due and link back to the site that I got each recipe. I will also put the very general recipes here in case you don't want to click a bunch of links.</li>
<li>The crafts I'm going to post are finished, but they don't look it. I haven't spruced up any of their containers yet, so I wanted to apologize for the lack of...professionalism?...that they infer. </li>
</ol>
<br />
Off we go!<br />
<br />
On Friday, my hubby squished his hand really bad between a hand pallet jack and one of his two trailers (he's trucking with doubles right now, which lets him stay in this general area rather than trucking cross country). He had to get 16 (17?) stitches, and now he has to stay home for 2 weeks to let it heal before he can go back to work. One of the wonderful managers of the store he delivered to took him all the way to the hospital to get it fixed up, and then refused to leave until he was done! She had to wait AT LEAST 3 hours while Chris was seeing the doctor, and even though he asked her to leave and told her he'd be fine getting a cab, she still stayed (Chris and I both think this is partially because it allowed her to play/talk on her phone rather than work, but that's between you and me ;P she was still a lot more helpful than most would be in that situation). I'm forever grateful to her, and to show it, I'm going to use her as my <strike>guinea pig</strike> test driver for all the DIYs I'd like to make this year! So far, I've made her vanilla body butter, peppermint sugar scrub, and lavender bath bombs. I also tried to make shower bombs, but the first recipe didn't work out so well, so I'm going to make those later (probably today). Additionally, I might make her bath salts and bubble bath, but I'm not sure yet. I'm also planning on making her an actual quilt-related thing (like a pot holder or mug rug), seeing as that's more of my forte than bath products =P<br />
<br />
The vanilla body butter was literally just whipped coconut oil and vanilla extract. I put the coconut oil in the Mix Master for a few minutes, and it felt quite lovely. Very airy! Which is good, because my main problem with coconut oil is that it solidifies when it gets too cold, which makes it a pain for scrubs and rubs and such. Here's the very plain jar I have so far:<br />

Next is the peppermint sugar scrub. As expected, it didn't turn out as well as the original did, but hey, it was my first try! I mixed 2 cups of plain white sugar with about 1/2 cup of coconut oil and a couple drops of peppermint essential oil (which I surprisingly found at Fred Meyer's!), then used red food coloring for half of it to make it look like a candy cane:<br />

Next is the lavender bath bombs, which I actually made a while ago for myself and ended up loving :) This one has a few more ingredients, so I'm actually going to put them in list form:<br />
<ol>
<li>1 cup baking soda</li>
<li>1/2 cup <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OZFECU/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=intimateweddi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000OZFECU">Citric Acid</a></li>
<li>1/2 cup corn starch</li>
<li>1/2 cup Epsom salts</li>
<li>3/4 tsp water</li>
<li>quite a few drops of lavender essential oil</li>
<li>2 1/2 tsp coconut oil</li>
<li>food coloring (I used red and blue separately rather than purple, and the bombs don't really look the way I want them to, but when they dissolve in the bath they kind of have this multi-color purple effect which is cool)</li>
</ol>
I mixed the dry ingredients together, then added the wet ones, then stirred it really well with a whisk. Then I packed the mixture into super adorable silicone heart molds, let each bomb sit overnight in the molds, and this is what I got:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

And I also made myself (and my sister) some pumpkin spice sugar scrub, which smells like Halloween! Here's the ingredients: <br />
<ol>
<li>2 cups brown sugar (I used dark because I needed to get rid of it, but I think light would work too)</li>
<li>1/2 cup white sugar</li>
<li>1 tsp cinnamon</li>
<li>1 tsp pumpkin pie spice</li>
<li>1/2 tsp nutmeg</li>
<li>over 1/3 cup coconut oil</li>
</ol>
I just mixed all ingredients together till I got the right consistency, and put it in a few different jars. Here's where I put the leftovers:<br />

Ok, that's enough of that. Now on to QUILTING!! As promised in my last post, I took pics of my very first all-Minky quilt! This is for a baby girl who isn't due until the end of October (near my birthday!). However, she's threatening to come early, so I wanted to make sure this was ready for her:<br />

I wanted to prove to myself that I could sew with all Minky! It's not all bad, you just have to pay attention and not stretch the fabric as you go. I also used a super easy pattern, which helped as well. The main quilt is my own design (just stripes and a square), owl is from McKay Manor Musers. I also made a super cute little owl stuffy using their <a href="https://www.mckaymanormusers.com/shop/product/scrappy-happy-whoo-owl-family-pattern/" target="_blank">Happy Scrappy Whoo</a> pattern to go along with it:<br />

That's all I've got for now! It was a very busy weekend, and I'm so glad I actually had time to work on stuff. Next project to work on: the <a href="http://www.corasquilts.com/quilt-alongs/mario/" target="_blank">Mario quilt</a> provided by Cora's Quilts! More pics to come :)<br />
<br />
Am I the only one planning an all-DIY Christmas? Let me know what you're working on! I love using other people's inspiration for my own stuff (hence all the bath products from Pinterest, haha)<br />

So the last two quilt tops I recently finished were for my niece and nephew, who are 5 and 8 respectively. I mentioned both quilts in a previous post, but I never actually posted pics of the finished tops. For my niece, I made a princess quilt with all the Disney princesses using paper piecing patterns provided for free from the very wonderful Michelle Thompson at <a href="http://misha29.com/">misha29.com</a>. She's sort of the one who inspired me to make my Inside Out characters, so I'm pretty grateful to her :) Here's the princess quilt, which I nicknamed Operation: Pretty Princess:<br />

I'm really worried she's going to drown in it, because not only is it really big, but also I'm putting Minky on the back AND batting in the middle D: Oh well, I guess >.<<br />
<br />
Also check out <a href="http://www.freshlypieced.com/" target="_blank">Freshly Pieced</a> and <a href="http://sewfreshquilts.blogspot.com/2015/09/lets-bee-social-91.html" target="_blank">Sew Fresh Quilts</a>, where I posted this quilt as part of a couple linky parties! They've both got a bunch of other links featuring different people's WIPs, in case you need inspiration to finish your own ;)<br />

I also made this pillow to go with it. Jasmine (my niece, named after the princess, coincidentally) is a HUGE Elsa fan. However, because I'm so literal, I couldn't talk myself into adding Elsa to the actual quilt because she's technically a queen. I figured making a pillow was a win-win, because then she can give Elsa more love, and enjoy all the other princesses on the quilt at the same time!<br />

Next, I made this Typosaurus quilt for my nephew, Camden. He's super into dinosaurs, obviously =P This one turned out really big as well, but he's a little older so I'm not QUITE as worried about it. No extra frills made for him yet (pillowcases or pillows), but here's his quilt:<br />

<br />
The pattern for this one was purchased from Carolina Patchworks <a href="http://shop.carolinapatchworks.com/product/no-070-typosaurus" target="_blank">here</a>. I appliqued all the dinosaurs on with Steam a Seam 2, and I didn't worry about sewing them down. I got a progress update from my quilter (Coleen at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/quiltedthistle?fref=ts" target="_blank">The Quilted Thistle</a>) a few days back, and I think the quilting is dense enough that I don't need to put in extra effort to get the dinosaurs sewn down.<br />
<br />
And for my current projects, I'm working on my very first all-Minky quilt for a very special baby girl (who hasn't been born yet)! The top is pretty much done, I just have to quilt it. Pics to come.<br />
<br />
Also, I'm working on the <a href="http://www.corasquilts.com/quilt-alongs/mario/" target="_blank">Mario Quilt of Doom</a> for another member in my family, and I finally started it a few days ago! Here's the first section of the first block I started, the first pic taken before I sewed the blocks together, the second taken after:<br />

There's two more quilts on my to-do list for this year (including the Mario quilt), and I'm starting to worry I'm not going to get them done by Christmas D: I know I'll get the tops done, obviously, but I'm already running out of time to quilt them. Worst-case scenario, they'll go to their recipients for their birthdays or Christmas next year, but I really wanted to give 4 out for Christmas this year. That's been my plan since LAST year, actually.<br />

I've started making my own paper piecing patterns, though, so I'm going to try to revive it! I'm also going to post pics of all my latest projects, eventually =P To start, I'm going to add one of my own patterns: Anger from Inside Out! Here he is:<br />

I'm going to work on organizing my blog and I'm using poor Anger here as my test subject. Let me know if you have any trouble with it, or if you have any questions about the pattern! I'm trying to figure out how to add color to each individual section of the pattern, but for now this will have to do.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07882380438204437297noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-611992550121059268.post-21840488847351015122015-04-27T14:35:00.000-07:002015-04-27T14:35:40.857-07:00~ColoradoToday we got to another fabric store, like, 3 days after visiting Albuquerque! This one's called <a href="https://www.fabricblissdenver.com/" target="_blank">Fabric Bliss</a>, and they had a great selection of modern fabric, which is another of my favorite's. Today was their first day open in their new location. They only moved a few shops down, but they got more space by moving.<br />

We went to <a href="http://www.quiltworksabq.com/" target="_blank">The Quilt Works</a> in Albuquerque, which was a pretty fantastic shop. Lots of brights and Batiks and Kaffe Fassett. I wish it was my home town shop, seeing as brights and Batiks are my absolute favorites!<br />

I got a couple things from here. For New Mexico, they had an awesome selection, but I decided on this one because I liked it best:<br />

Also, I found more of Moda's Elementary fabric!! A whole charm pack this time! It was all they had left, so I jumped on it. I love this line so much!!<br />

Ohio!Well, it has been a WHILE! It's really quite sad that it took me this long to get to another shop =/<br />
<br />
I did get to Fabric Depot in Portland on my way home between South Dakota and now, but I go there all the time and I had a shopping list for that one, so it doesn't really count.<br />
<br />
The shop I visited in Ohio was called <a href="http://www.thelittleshopofstitches.com/" target="_blank">The Little Shop of Stitches</a> (which is a fantastic name, if I do say so myself. I'm a huge fan of musicals, especially Little Shop of Horrors, so I was pretty excited about this one).<br />

It was a cute little shop, though the name is misleading. They had just purchased the building next to their original shop, and they use it as their classroom, so the shop is actually a lot bigger than I was expecting. In fact, it had a separate bathroom for each gender! Talk about fancy :)<br />

As for state fabric, I decided on birds! Ohio is very nature-y, so it seemed fitting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVuT-XhrRUUyzE3RAS01_G1aICIuWkHU30NqteOOisx4YoCTXiPiOcQqJ5O-LnCvw4bGx7xp1MIHBhm0B2fz_ks5PPueT98EDTBZg6-q6YfOwA3b4wlt_xJPe-d83JRCO8kG8uD1HbDVKl/s1600/IMG_3620.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVuT-XhrRUUyzE3RAS01_G1aICIuWkHU30NqteOOisx4YoCTXiPiOcQqJ5O-LnCvw4bGx7xp1MIHBhm0B2fz_ks5PPueT98EDTBZg6-q6YfOwA3b4wlt_xJPe-d83JRCO8kG8uD1HbDVKl/s1600/IMG_3620.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
This is their state bird, the cardinal. I figured I could fussy cut one of the birds out of this, and maybe apply it to this fabric:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimelyDu4LpwBXo567L73FiwjnfmneERxdT8fSCHigqSvwTMp5VHdHU3XeM6hU6Ctn9GV7EkStA29BeTmAF15STSPcVrRkbDOqB-Q3xgDj0FJR7FTgCbzzsR9sQMu7chxwnkDp2fgXsQHTt/s1600/IMG_3621.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimelyDu4LpwBXo567L73FiwjnfmneERxdT8fSCHigqSvwTMp5VHdHU3XeM6hU6Ctn9GV7EkStA29BeTmAF15STSPcVrRkbDOqB-Q3xgDj0FJR7FTgCbzzsR9sQMu7chxwnkDp2fgXsQHTt/s1600/IMG_3621.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
This fabric follows my general pattern idea, so I figured I could put one of the detailed cardinals on top of this, or something along those lines. Not sure yet, we'll see~<br />
<br />
That's all I've got shop-wise, but I'm also almost done with Operation: Pretty Princess, I just have to put the blocks together and quilt it! Here's the princesses I didn't include before:<br />

<br />
From top to bottom: Pocahontas, Merida, Jasmine, Anna, Tiana, Belle, Ariel, Rapunzel, and Kida.<br />
<br />
Since I took these pictures, I got their noses/chins embroidered, and I decided on the layout of each princess:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You can sort of see their noses/chins in this pic, as well as the general layout I'm going for. There's still some "borders" I'm adding to each princess, before sewing them all together and adding one more border around the edge! I'll have pics for that as soon as I've got it done, which should be pretty soon.<br />
<br />
That's all for now! The dinosaur quilt is currently at my mom's house, where I'm working on it during my home visits because it's not very easy to work on while on the road. Pics for that to come as well, as soon as I've made better progress~<br />

We finally got to another state, and another fabric store! This one is in South Dakota, called <a href="http://www.yellowpages.com/rapid-city-sd/mip/fabric-city-456752730" target="_blank">Fabric City</a>:<br />

The hubby and I watched Warehouse 13 a while back, and because of that, we had certain expectations for what fabric we wanted for South Dakota.<br />
<br />
That being said, we couldn't find what we wanted. We looked for some fabric that had a warehouse on it in some way or another, because we loved the show so much.<br />
<br />
Instead, we purchased this Mount Rushmore fabric. Our plan is to find some warehouse fabric, and fussy cut Mt. Rushmore off of this fabric and overlap it on the warehouse fabric.<br />

And then there was this fabric, which I really liked for some reason, though I'm not sure why:<br />

It kind of looks like embroidery stitches, to me. I dunno, I thought it was cool.<br />
<br />
Also, we got some solids for my princess project, which is coming along nicely:<br />

We decided that since my niece's name is Jasmine, we're going to use special sparkly fabric on Jasmine's block, so she stands out a bit. That's what the top two fabrics are for, and the rest are various colors that I needed for this project. Speaking of, I currently have 4 out of 12 princesses mostly done, all I have to do is embroider noses and chins!<br />

That's all I've got for now! 8 more princesses, and while I'm home I'm working on a dinosaur quilt for my nephew (this niece's brother). Pics for that to come as well~<br />

town with a really cute little fabric store. The shop we visited was
called<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <a href="https://local.yahoo.com/info-18110133-country-fabrics-crafts-valentine" target="_blank">Country Fabrics and Crafts</a></span>. They had quite an array of

pants.<br />

I also got this SUPER CUTE giraffe fabric, which I might
have to make myself some shorts out of. I didn’t realize it was thin and soft
until after we got back to the truck, unfortunately, so I only have ½ yd to
work with. Who knows, I might call the store and place an order for some more,
I love it so much.</div>

They also had tons of needlework stuff as well as yarn and
wool, among other things. A few days back, we stopped in another small downtown
area and visited a secondhand bookstore. I got a few very informative, very
cheap needlework and quilting books, which I was pretty excited about. After
looking through them, I’ve decided to start some hand sewing stuff, which makes
a lot of sense being stuck in a bouncy truck all day. So along with the few
pieces of fabric I got, I also got all these other goodies:</div>

Wow, I’m going to have a step mom. That’s weird, I don’t
think that’s really hit me yet...But anyways, I’m going to make some of those
bowl holders for her, and probably a couple for us eventually, too. The batting
also has a pattern for a potato-zapper bag on the back, might try that out too.
There are tons of microwave-safe things I can make, so I’ll see how much I like
these bowl holders and go from there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I also finally got Operation: Pretty Princess started! I
only got a few pieces of Princess Aurora done before my machine decided it
actually wasn’t ready to be used…and the tension got off. I tried adjusting the
top tension and the bottom tension, but it’s just not having it. I think it’s
because it was unused for so long, since my sister (the original owner) didn’t
get into sewing like I did. So I’m hoping to run into another sewing center out
here so I can get it looked at and finally get some sewing done!</div>

We’re heading back down to Texas now, so I probably won’t be
to another shop for a while. At least, not one in a new state :) Signing off

Sorry for such a long hiatus, I’m not very good at this
whole blogging thing. But I got to another shop! It was about a mile away from
where we parked, and it was in Texas so it was really hot (even in January) but
it was worth it. A cute little shop called <a href="http://bbquilting.com/" target="_blank">B & B Quilting</a> in Buda, but it had quite
a few bolts of fabric. I got to meet one of the owners, and she helped check me
out, which was pretty awesome.</div>

They had this cool “Surprise!” pattern, where there’s fabric
folded around one main fabric, like one of those paper fortune tellers we used
to make. I almost got the pattern, but I’d rather use that money towards
fabric. It’s pretty cool though, especially for a kid or baby:</div>

Since Texas is the biggest state, I wasn’t too worried about
the big print of this one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the hubby
and I both thought it was a pretty great fit for Texas. Plus, it went along
with the general theme I’ve decided on so far, which is the graphic fabric
that’s really direct. The Washington fabric is the best example so far.</div>

I also got this really sweet wavy fabric that I think will
look absolutely fantastic as binding for something. I should have gotten more,

And then there’s this clock fabric, which I just couldn’t
say no to. I really love clocks for whatever reason, and surprisingly I don’t
find clock fabric very often. That could just be because I don’t look, but
either way, I was excited to find this one :)</div>

Lastly, I guess I’m collecting dog fabric too, because I got
this super cute fat quarter as well. What can I say? I love dogs! Also, I miss
our baby (a ferocious Peekapoo – Pekinese-Poodle mix – named Kuma, which is
Japanese for bear), who’s staying with his grandma back in Oregon. 10 ½ pounds
of pure Little Dog Syndrome fury, but we both love him like the four-legged
child he is. So, yknow, dog fabric is my outlet I guess =P</div>

We visited B & B Quilting on January 29<sup>th</sup>,
I’ve just been stalling to write and post this. I’m lazy, there’s really no
other way to say that, haha. Since then, I’ve also got Nebraska checked off my
list, so I’ve got one more post coming soon!<br />

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season this year, no
matter what you celebrate! We got back on the road on the 28<sup>th</sup>, and
spent our new years in Casper, WY. Didn’t do anything special really, but I did
try deep-fried Oreos a couple hours before the new year…pretty great last meal
of 2014, if I do say so maself :)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before we stopped for the night on the 31<sup>st</sup>, I
was lucky enough to find a quilt store in Montana, just a couple blocks from
our delivery. That was pretty cool, it usually doesn’t work out that well. That
shop was Thimbelina’s, in Livingston, MT:</div>

So I got my MT fabric, which I thought was pretty fitting;
we dealt with -27 degree weather in Montana, so I figured the snowy trees were
perfect:</div>

I also got this adorable dog fabric that I couldn’t say no
to. What can I say, I love dogs!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On another note, I gave away all of my big quilts for
Christmas, finally, which was awesome. One was for my parents-in-law, one was
for my grandparents-in-law, and one was for my dad. There was also a double
wedding ring quilt that I made with my mom, which was presented to my engaged
cousin at her rehearsal dinner thing on the 26<sup>th</sup>, a day before she
got married! That was a wonderful little wedding, and I absolutely loved her
dress too.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
So now I’m at that point where I sort of don’t know what to
do with my life…I’m still finishing a cross stitch that was started 15 years ago
by my mom that never got finished, but that’s all I’m doing right now. I’m
still planning on the princess paper pieced quilt, but I haven’t started any of
that yet. More news on that to come, hopefully I’ll get better at this whole
blogging thing =P</div>

Have a wonderful 2015 all, talk to you soon!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Also, I decided to do this new thing so I can keep better
track of where I’ve been:</div>

<br />
It's been almost a month, but I got to run away from the truck long enough to visit a shop in Delaware.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I was also lucky enough to meet the owner, Mr. Hayes! That was pretty cool, and his shop - <a href="http://www.trevhayes.com/" target="_blank">Hayes Sewing Machine Co</a> - is pretty famous for the machines he sells and repairs and such. He's been in business for over 40 years, and they've built a pretty awesome customer base with it.<br />
<br />

<br />
They had quite a selection of fabric as well... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
...but none that really said "Delaware" to me. <br />
<br />
<br />
So I chose some cute fish fabric 'cause I figured, "Delaware is by the Atlantic, and they've got some nice beaches. Plus, there's lots of animal stuff (museums and observatories), so it's a win-win!" Not sure if it was a good choice, but I like the fabric I got ^.^ And I also got this super cute giraffe fabric, since I'm absolutely obsessed with giraffes. It's actually amazing I wrote this many posts without mentioning that, haha.<br />

<br />
<br />
And that's pretty much all I've done since Hawaii. The hexie flowers I was working on have since turned into a pillow top for my cousin's wedding, but it's not quite done yet. Christmas is definitely going to be hectic this year, what with visiting family and her wedding and grocery shopping and only having a few days to do it....but we'll manage. I'm really looking forward to being home and seeing my poodle, as well as getting some stuff prepped for more sewing!<br />
<br />
I'm also going to be starting a Disney Princess quilt soon enough, and I'm really excited about that! I've got quite a thing for Disney Princesses, and so does my niece! So that's a paper piecing adventure that I'll be starting as soon as I get home. It'll definitely take some work, but I'll post my progress as I go!<br />
<br />
I also want to thank the few of you who are actually reading all my posts! Until next time~<br />

We had a wonderful 8 days in Hawaii! I know this year hasn’t
been all that cold yet, but it was still nice to take a break in the never
ending sun and enjoy some sand =)</div>

While there, we were lucky enough to visit 5 quilt shops,
including a shop that actually sells traditional, hand-sewn Hawaiian quilts. I
was good and didn’t buy too much fabric, but what I did buy was very fitting.<br />

First was <a href="http://hawaiian-quilts.com/" target="_blank">Hawaiian Quilt Collection</a>, which had a few
traditional Hawaiian quilt kits, but mostly sold Hawaiian quilted products.<br />

The
technique they use is pretty amazing, and the end product is absolutely
awe-inspiring every time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When missionaries first visited the Hawaiian Islands, the
natives had never had access to genuine fabric like we see today. For their bed
coverings, they turned the inner bark of trees into a soft bed covering. As for
clothes, fabric wasn’t really necessary with their tropical climate. So they
learned how to quilt from the missionaries visited.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, they didn’t understand the point of cutting up
fabric, sewing it together, then cutting it up and sewing it again, etc. It
didn’t make sense to them, as it seemed like a waste of fabric and a very
counterproductive process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So instead,
they made quilting their own! Rather than cutting up a bunch of fabric, they
used only two pieces of fabric. The background was usually white-ish, but the
main fabric is what’s really fun.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just like we make snowflakes around the holidays, the
Hawaiian women would fold up the main fabric a few times, and cut out random
shapes and curves through all the layers. Once that’s done, they’d open the
fabric back up and needle-turn the applique onto the background. Here's some examples of what they look like when they're done:<br />

Obviously, in the beginning, they looked nothing like this.
But over time, they created a unique style that became a main staple of
Hawaiian culture. They mostly found inspiration in the nature around them, but
oftentimes they also created pieces based on everyday household objects or even
dreams. Really, they took inspiration from wherever they could get it, and made
it into something fantastic. Here’s a site with a little more info on it: <a href="http://www.womenfolk.com/quilting_history/hawaiian.htm">http://www.womenfolk.com/quilting_history/hawaiian.htm</a></div>

I scheduled myself to take a class at Hawaiian Quilt
Collection in Queens’ Marketplace on the Big Island (Kona, where we visited),
but unfortunately, the teacher was injured and unable to teach the class before
I left :(</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, I still got a kit for a traditional Hawaiian pillow
at another store, which I will be sewing as soon as I get a few Christmas
presents done! I actually attempted to take a similar class at that store, but
not enough people signed up before the class date, so I just gave up and bought
said kit instead =P<br />
<br />
That store was <a href="http://www.quiltpassions.net/" target="_blank">Quilt Passions</a>,
which was just a few minutes away from our hotel room. Needless to say, we
visited it at least 3 times while we were there. </div>

They recently changed their name from Fabric Gift Shoppe, because everyone
thought it was just a gift shop rather than a quilt/fabric store, so it might
be hard to find the new shop name on maps. Anyways, I loved all the shops we
visited, but this one I loved just a little bit more. Not only did it have the
most fabric out of the ones we visited, but it had an entire WALL of metallic
fabric! METALLIC! That’s one of my absolute favorite fabric types, right next
to Batiks.<br />

I can never find a lot at one store, though, unless it’s a fabric
monster like Fabric Depot in Portland, OR. This one had more than I’d ever seen
in one place, and it also had a different entire wall full of Batiks. So yeah,
this one was at the top of my list =P<br />

The print is a lot smaller, and since Hawaii is such a small state, I figured this would be best to get maximum graphics.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And the last one we went to was a little shop in Waimea
called Topstitch.<br />

This is where we found out about the Kona shop hop, and she
had a lot of info on all the other shops and such. I didn’t get anything for me
at that one, just a polka dot fat quarter pack for my mom (I know, you could
find that anywhere, but I owed her and she liked the fabric, so there!)</div>

At the beginning of the month of February every year, Quilt
Passions has an awesome quilting retreat with a ton of fun classes and sewing
time. I’m not going to make it in 2015, but I figured I’d mention it here in
case anyone else can :) It definitely looks like a ton of fun, and they’ve got
cheap room discounts for anyone participating. There’s also a lot of free
demonstrations and little crafts and such, as well as a few guest stars. I recommend
checking it out, I know I’d definitely go if I could.<br />

So we’re back on the road, but we haven’t gotten very far
yet. And because of the way our data plan is set up, I might not be able to
post again anytime soon, but if I get to another shop in a new state I’ll
definitely try! I’ll also keep everyone updated on my projects, I’m ashamed to
say I didn’t work on much when we were in Hawaii :) That’s all for now, hope
everyone else had a wonderful Thanksgiving and safe travels on Black Friday!<br />

<br />
So we made it back to the West Coast before I got to another shop, and that shop was in Washington (where I visit all the time, but I've never been to this one!). We had to go through that "arctic storm" in North Dakota and Montana, which was awesome 'cause I love snow. Of course, it was REALLY dangerous and often scary, but I like to look at the positive things in life :)<br />
<br />

And actually, the shop I went to has another shop in North Dakota, which I think is kind of funny. I really wanted to go to the one in North Dakota, but the cards weren't in our favor, so we moved on. Then we got to Washington, dropped off our load and got stuck again, and just happened to be right down the road from the Washington location! Crazy!!<br />
<br />
Although, I just looked it up, and they have the same exact names with the same exact services, but they're not actually the same store/franchise. Definitely a big coincidence, but I still think it's pretty cool. <br />

That shop was Ben Franklin Crafts, which is actually just a really big Joann's. I don't want to make anyone angry, but it was actually much nicer than Joann's. The fabric quality at Ben's was also a lot better, and it was actually in its own little quilt shop within the store itself, rather than spread out everywhere. The workers were also super friendly, which can't always be said for Joann's. Just saying. =P<br />

I got 4 different fabrics here, 2 of which scream Washington to me:<br />

They're absolute opposites, I know, but I haven't entirely decided what sort of direction I'm going to take when I make this quilt. I'll likely use the graphic-y one, but I know I'll be able to use the elegant fabric one way or another. I loved them way too much to choose, which is also why I waited for my hubby to get tired and leave the store before I got em cut :) He wanted me to pick, which is blasphemy!<br />
<br />
And yes, I know I got this one before, but that one was canvas and it was blue. This one is green! I think it'll work with my quilt a lot better, and I can always use the canvas for something else:<br />

Last, like every other shop so far, there was one that I just had to get, no logic involved:<br />

Along the way, we also stopped by the 50,000 Silver $ store in Montana, which is a really awesome gift store with a great story. The tradition was started
by Gerry and Marie Lincoln in 1952, where they would take people's silver dollars and engrave their name under it on the wooden frame. After 62 years, they're still collecting. They're currently at 67,000 and counting! The bar alone has $2500 worth of silver dollars, with the rest covering the walls around the bar. It's a pretty spectacular place, and Chris and I got our names added to the legacy as well. There's also a restaurant, motel, gas station, convenience store, and casino all in the same building.<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="size12 Helvetica12"></span></span><br />

<span class="size12 Helvetica12"> That's all I've got for now, but next week I'm heading to Hawaii! That means I'll have all 48 continental states, and one non-continental! Don't get me wrong, I have every intention of going to Alaska in the foreseeable future, but I'll get to Hawaii first :) Stay tuned for more! (yes, I just said that)</span><br />

I’ve only been to one other quilt shop since Missouri Star,
but that second quilt shop was in New York! New York has been the top state on
my list of states to see, so it’s pretty fantastic that that was my second one.
Granted, it’s not NYC, but it was still an amazing shop with some amazing
quilters running things.</div>

I have it under good
authority that this shop is where the ever so wonderful Row-By-Row experience
came from! And since I love connections, I was pretty excited to hear that Jenny – from
Missouri Star – will be holding a few classes/lectures/whateveryoucallem in
their area from Nov 10<sup>th</sup> through the 13<sup>th</sup>. Because of
that, they’ve got a ton of new stock in that hasn’t even reached the shelves
yet! I was lucky enough to get one of their new products before they had even
priced it yet :) So if anyone is in the area next week, I definitely recommend
stopping by to see what’s new!<br />

As for fabric, I only got a few things again. I’ve finally
made up my mind on what I’m doing with all these fabrics, and it’s not gonna be
easy, but it’ll look pretty flipping awesome when I’m done. I’m going to take
one fabric from each state, and applique them into the state I purchased it
from. For example, I’ll take one of the fabrics I got today and applique it
with some fusible into a shape of New York. Then I’ll add them all together,
and make my very own US map out of fabric! :) It’s going to be pretty big, and
I’m prepared for that, but I think it’ll look pretty awesome hanging from a
wall in our currently-nonexistent house. Also, I’m sure it’s been done before,
but I don’t really care in this case =P</div>

Huzzah, finally made it to my first shop, in Missouri!! And
here’s the kicker: my very first non-regional shop was the Missouri Star Quilt
Co! How awesome is that?! It was an extended bday present from my hubby. We had
to take an extra-long driving break and a cab ride from St. Joseph to get there.
It wasn’t very logical or cost-efficient, but it’s the MSQC! It was just too
perfect, especially as a bday present.</div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So yeah, I’m 21 now!
Ordered myself 3 girly drinks and I got a free shot at the bar that we went to
last night, and I handled it like a boss. No hangover, and I didn’t even get
drunk. Just a tad tipsy =P Everyone there was awesome, which was nice since we
had to walk an hour to find an open bar.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anywho! With Missouri Star, there were actually 5 total
quilt shops in a span of a block or two. There was the main shop, the
Merchantile shop (which specialized in civil war/1930’s reproduction fabrics),
the Solid shop (which had tons of solids, polka spots, and chevrons – as well
as all their Minky fabric), the Seasonal shop (which had all their seasonal
fabrics along with fabric for every holiday), and the Batik shop – which, unfortunately,
I was unable to visit because it’s currently still under construction. If I had
been here just a week later, they would’ve been done! But beggars can’t be
choosers, and those 4 stores were still fantastic to peruse.<span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span></span></div>

To start, the main shop. This one had all sorts of fabrics,
and while I did take a few pics, I really didn’t take enough to capture the
whole store. They had a wall of Batiks here, so I still got my Batik fix. </div>

I was
also very good about spending money, and only got a few ½ yd cuts! I couldn’t
resist the ones I did buy. They were my absolute favorite color combo AND they
were metallic! Best of both worlds! All of them except the purple one on the
end, which I loved for other reasons =P </div>

Next we went to the Solid shop, which was a lot more open
and a lot less crowded. It was in the old, very first JC Penney building. There were only a few long aisles here, and I didn’t
buy anything, but it was still awesome to see all the Minky and white-on-white
fabric.</div>

Then we went to the Seasonal shop, where I also didn't buy anything. It was smaller than the Solid shop, but they also had a ton of
cute fabrics, including some that I purchased from them just a couple months
back!<br />

Lastly, we visited the Merchantile shop. It was also pretty
compact, but they really used the space well. There was a gorgeous double
wedding ring quilt in the window that also looked extremely old, as it had been
hand-sewn and was falling apart.</div>

Behind the register was another old quilt that’s
120 years old! I couldn’t tell exactly what it was for, but according to the
sign next to it, it looks like it was commissioned in 1890 and hand-embroidered
by the church’s Lady Committee. It had been commissioned by the reverend of
said church. If anyone knows any more info on it, I’m all ears!</div>

While waiting for the cab to show up, we also ate dinner at
a new restaurant called Blue Sage, and got dessert from an awesome little
bakery called Poppy’s Bakery. If anyone is ever in town, I definitely recommend
both. The dinner was very modern but delicious, and the bakery was pleasantly
small with a very friendly owner <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">:)</span></span>
The desserts at the bakery were fabulous as well, perfectly paired with a nice
cup of jo. Seriously, they were both fantastic, please go to them if you ever
visit!</div>

On our way to Missouri, we passed through Iowa, Utah, and
Nebraska, where I took a few pics of signs and landscapes, etc. So far, this is
the farthest East I’ve ever been, but I still didn’t take many pictures, haha.
We didn’t have time to visit any quilt shops there, but I still saw some
beautiful landscapes, especially in Iowa. We’re starting to window shop for a
place to settle down already! Though I still think Oregon will be the best…</div>

Sorry for such a long post, but hey, a lot has happened! My

so I haven’t been sewing much the past few days. But at least I got to a shop
finally!</div>

P.S. - Organizing pictures on this thing is incredibly annoying. I can never get them where I want them to go, and I can never put them next to each other unless they're tiny with lots of space between them. If anyone has any tips on that, please let me know, because it's really starting to get on my nerves =/<br />

The adventure finally begins! After multiple false starts, we got our first load assignment! First we're heading to Tillamook, then maybe to San Leandro, CA. It's going to be a tight shift, but we might make it. Our manager person might just give us a load with a more lenient timeline, though, especially because of some silly trailer limitations between Tillamook and Toledo.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Our truck is a lot like my little Honda Fit: it's dark blue, very small, but very deceiving in its capacities. Since my Fit already bears the name Grover, I've decided to call our truck the Blueberry (thanks to Psych for that name):<br />

Here's my hubby, posing the way he always does =P he's not sure he likes the name Blueberry because of someone he previously knew who had the nickname, but I think it'll grow on him... <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It seems like not much happened this first day, and in fact, we're not leaving till tomorrow...but we've still made progress! And tomorrow, who knows where we'll end up?!<br />
<br />
This is my first blog, so I don't really know what a "normal" frequency is, but I'll post as much as I can! The sewing stuff will come later, most likely tomorrow when I actually start sewing =P I've started working on hexies, so expect that!<br />

Here's my hubby, posing the way he always does =P he's not sure he likes the name Blueberry because of someone he previously knew who had the nickname, but I think it'll grow on him... <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It seems like not much happened this first day, and in fact, we're not leaving till tomorrow...but we've still made progress! And tomorrow, who knows where we'll end up?!<br />
<br />
This is my first blog, so I don't really know what a "normal" frequency is, but I'll post as much as I can! The sewing stuff will come later, most likely tomorrow when I actually start sewing =P I've started working on hexies, so expect that!<br />
