<br />
As many of you know, I am a huge fan of Stitchin' Heaven cruises - especially the Civil War Cruise, which I will be going on in April this year. Because a few of us have banded together and we keep coming back, we are planning to do a separate block exchange, and possibly use one of the exchanges that I have done with Sarah's Sewing Circle in the past. I am posting the instructions here, for anyone that is interested. In our club, we used Carol Hopkins' Give and Take pattern. I believe this pattern may be in one of her more recent books, as well: <br />

My instructions are to make 6 identical blocks. For the exchange you will keep 1 block and bring 5 to exchange. You may make as many sets as you wish. If you want to make this quilt, you will need to make 14 sets. If you wish to have a regular sized PDF file, email me at carrie@piecefulgathering.com</div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Hello Sarah Members!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">What a busy year I have planned for you! In addition to the Circa 1880 Quilt and other club patterns, we will be starting the year with some quilts and projects made with my Charlotte line that FINALLY arrived today! We were getting a little bit worried, since the Charlotte BOM starts next week. We still have a couple of openings if you are interested, and it is also available for mail order:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"> I did finish my Sarah's Mini Medallion Fibonacci Challenge quilt - well, the top - that is finished in my book! As you can see, I used my Charlotte fabric for the quilt. I was thinking about writing a pattern, but I think I will skip that. The math is too annoying.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Another cool thing that happened is that Tara Lynn Baisden, of Quilter's Ridge, designed 5 little quilts using my Charlotte fabric. We will do at least a couple of these in Sarah Club - but I think I am going to do them all! Which ones do you like the best?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The last one - Little Bits - uses a lot of scraps, so it looked like a natural for Sarah Club. Maybe somewhere down the line. </span><br />

<br />
Well, this is my first post for 2019 - let's hope I do a little better this year! I have been busy working on a bunch of things. Some are for my classes and clubs, and some I am just trying to finish so that I can get them out of my sewing room. I have so many projects that are almost finished, but just need a border or binding, or all the blocks are done, and they just need to be put together. I have purged a lot of projects that I decided that I just didn't like enough to waste my time finishing, so now I am down to projects that I actually like! A lot of them are Sarah Club projects, mostly from fabric or block exchanges. I really love these scrappy projects, and I want to finish them. My problem is that I can't just make a wall hanging or lap quilt, oh no - I have to make everything bigger. So, I have tons of blocks that are done or started, and then they got put away to make room for the next project. You all probably understand this - well, maybe not you people that don't start anything until you finish something. Trust me - if you are a real quilter, you will get over that. There is nothing more fun than going to the fabric store and picking out fabric for a new quilt project - or should I say, your next UFO? Think of it this way - we could be hanging out at bars or the racetrack. At least our obsession is safe and in many cases, we actually produce something special. Did you know that studies have shown that quilters have lower blood pressure than other people the same age? Winner!<br />
<br />
Anyway - in Sarah Club we are doing our own version of Pam Buda's 1880 quilt, which I talked about in the last post. We will talk more about it at our first neeting(s) January 29th or 30th, January 29th also happens to be the day that the shop is doing the Circa 1880 Free Demos to explain how it will work for the general public. You can go to one of those meetings if you wish, but keep in mind that there will be some differences if you are in Sarah Club. If you want to get started on something before then, you can start cutting 1 1/2" strips. I am cutting strips out of my scrap stash, and some snippets, that are mostly 10" and not much more, so that I can have a greater variety to turn in. So, go through your scraps and cut 1 1/2" pieces off of anything you can. <br />
<br />
This month in Sarah Club we will reveal our finished (or whatever you have) Mini Fibonacci Mystery Medallion quilts. If you missed Club last month, here is a picture of mine through border 3.<br />

<br />
I handed out the instructions for the fourth and final border, so if you didn't get one, you can pick one up at the shop, or just email me and I will email one back to you. You still have a few weeks to finish before the reveal - and a couple of months to finish before our show in August. Let's have a bunch in the show!<br />
<br />
That's it for now!<br />

<span style="color: #0c343d;">We have so many things going on this year, I thought maybe it would be a good idea to have a place where I can post things you should know - especially with the holidays and snowbird season upon us. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">This month we will be having TWO holiday gatherings. You can come to either one or both. I just ask that you let me know if you are planning to come to the evening group so that I can call ahead to make reservations. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">The Evening gathering will be Before our meeting on Tuesday. We will start gathering at Galati's Hideaway in Cary around 5:00. That should give us plenty of time to have a relaxed dinner and get to the shop by 7:30. </span><span style="color: #0c343d;">The Day gathering will be After our meeting - those that are interested will go to The Brunch Cafe in FRG for lunch. Everybody pays for their own.</span></div>

Right now, I am just making regular 9-P blocks with 1 1/2" strips - since I have a rather large collection of these. Once we get the template in, I will trim them down to the correct size. Making them bigger will assure that I end up with the correct size. I know - it is kind of a lot to trim off, but doing it this way requires less thinking, and I do have a ton of 1 1/2" strips that are already cut. Of course, you can make yours any way you choose - as long as they come out to the correct size. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d;">In case you were wondering why it will be more fun to do this quilt in Sarah Club.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Besides the obvious - we have more fun in general, you will have the advantage of being able to choose your own blocks out of the bin we will have at the club meetings each month. We will also be making the bonus quilts that use the same little blocks:</span></div>

There is just one more border to go, and we will reveal our quilts at our first meeting in January. You are welcome to attend that meeting, even if you don't sign up - but why wouldn't you? I finally finished my center block - why do I always go overboard??? I am hoping to get at least partially caught up before we meet next week. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d;">There is one more quilt in the Yuletide Greetings pattern. I still have to quilt the last one I did, too. I will try to have that done by next week, too.

<br />
Below you will find Block #8 of my Civil War Samplings series. We are just about to send out Block kit #20. We always make a handful of extra kits, which are available at:<br />
https://www.piecefulgathering.com/shop/Kits/Carries-Civil-War-Samplings-Kits.htm<br />
Of course, if there is any fabric in the kits that you "need" more of, just give us a call, and we will be happy to send you some.<br />
I do apologize for not keeping up with posting these as often as I had intended - trust me when I say that I am halfway to hell, if you know what I mean. There just aren't enough hours in the day.<br />
I have been working hard on my next fabric line with Penny Rose Fabrics. It will be sort of a French inspired line. A little outside of my box, but I hope you will all like it. Here is a sneak preview of the focus large print: <br />

This is the three proposed colors for this print, but you never know what is going to come out in the end. I am still working on some of the coordinating prints - and I am very slow! In between this I am cutting tumblers (join our Tumbler club and make a quilt....) and trying to keep up with my regular classes & clubs. Oh yeah, and I am semi-retired - lol!<br />
<br />
So - here is Block #8, which was sent out in August of 2015:<br />

<br />
Sorry, I got a couple of weeks behind in blog postings. I took a week off for Quilt Market, and I am just getting caught up with my life! Our Sampling Newsletters are up to April of 2015. In case you are just tuning in, I am posting previous newsletters from my Civil War Samplings Clubs so that those that missed out can still do the blocks if you wish, and maybe get a little bit of history and news about quilting. I will continue to post the newsletters here weekly (more or less) until we get caught up, and then we will see. If you wish to join the club, now is a good time to do so, as I will be pulling fabric for the June Samplings in the next week or so. Sign up on our <a href="https://www.piecefulgathering.com/shop/Clubs--Block-of-the-Months/p/Carries-Civil-War-Samplings-Club-x8259747.htm" target="_blank">Website</a>, or call the shop (847) 516-7911. Check out some of our other "Collector" Clubs, too. Katie just started a new Good Wool Club, for those of you that want to build up your wool collection. She is doing it every other month, like this one, and she will send you 8 wool 16ths and a free pattern. The one pictured below is the first pattern. Sign up for that club now - it will be mailing out shortly! <a href="https://www.piecefulgathering.com/shop/Clubs--Block-of-the-Months/p/Katies-Good-Wool-Club-x27452879.htm" target="_blank">Good Wool Club</a></span><br />

<br />
In case you are not familiar with the club, it consists of fifteen 10" fabric squares, that we call snippets, personally picked by me. There is a new set every other month, on the even months. I try to find fabrics that are from our newer Civil War lines, that coordinate with each other. Included with the fabric kit is a newsletter with a pattern for a 6" block, which you can easily make from the fabrics in the kit. I picture a couple of options for you, but you can do as you please.<br />
<br />
This is one of our fabric collector clubs. You can find all of these at: <br />

<h4>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><i><b>Part 1 - How the quilts came to me, or "What was I thinking?" </b></i></span></h4>
Well, in spite of my good intentions, a year has flown by since my last post. It seems that last year at this time we were heading off to Market and Diane's American Summer Quilt was going to be debuted. Now, we are heading off to Market in about a month and Diane's American Crossroads quilt will be debuted. My Americana II line will be arriving soon, but we got the shop kit last week, so she is working like crazy to finish it, so that it can be quilted and bound before Market. Easy, huh?<br />
<br />
Anyway, what inspired me to start up with my blog again is a project that I have been working on. It started about a year ago - ok, maybe a little bit longer than a year - when a nice couple called to see about getting some antique quilts restored and completed. My obsession with antique quilts would not let me pass up the opportunity to at least look at the quilts, so they brought them in.<br />
<br />
When I looked at them, I was kind of disappointed, there were five of them, two tied quilts and three tops. Only two were really worth working on. It always makes me feel bad to tell people that their precious family quilts aren't really worth anything, but I am a realist, and I collect antique quilts (mostly tops), so I am well aware of the market value of these quilts. There was a time, not all that long ago, when antique quilts were treasured and coveted, but since everyone and their mother has become more internet savvy, antique quilts have been falling out of attics and barns and landing on eBay. It's the old story of supply and demand, and the supply is up. Quilts from the Quilt Revival period, from around 1920-1940, are a glut on the market. Its really sad to see some of these heirloom quilts sell on eBay for next to nothing. I always tell people to put a label on them and keep them in the family.<br />
<br />
In spite of my suggestion to the contrary, my customers decided that they really wanted to have these quilts repaired and/or completed. I reluctantly agreed to give them an estimate. I was sure that once I put a price on the job, they would change their minds.<br />
<br />
My estimates were very honest, and ridiculously high, considering the condition of the quilts. To my surprise (and, yes, dismay), they asked me to go ahead with the project. Go figure. I took pictures for my quotes, and you can see them below, with the names that I have given them, and a short description. I thought that you might find it interesting, or just plain funny, to follow along as I work on these quilts - and sharing with you might help keep me on track!<br />
<br />
So without further ado, here they are, in no particular order:<br />

I don't usually do quilt repairs myself, since I don't really have the time, and usually they can be easily handled by one of our talented quilters, but these quilts had some special issues, and nobody else wanted to do them. </span></div>

The customer wanted the quilts washed, so I started there. Although they weren't horribly dirty, it seemed like a good idea. I did take the two tied quilts apart first and got rid of the batting, which was mostly clumped up and yucky. I was able to salvage one of the backs, or at least part of it, to possibly use for repairing the top. The other back was in shreds, and I had to get rid of it.</span></div>

<br />
Next week we leave for Spring Quilt Market in Minneapolis. We are pretty excited this time, since Diane and I will be talking a little bit about Diane's wonderful American Summer BOM at the Penny Rose Schoolhouse session. The quilt is all finished, and Teresa is quilting it now:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj15wdmsV5Fl0W8TBP1pcIsIacL0ti9JtbZLDo6qmZ0SYZm9QSk_vBmsu9_rc576NsCMIHO0fHY4_sTeo4RHVDAiEh9ZVRQj0EV-aZsfr4bYnuiWdYkEGFm5MxCF6uFyhN_bEX9ZNfkjzI/s1600/American+Summer+BOM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj15wdmsV5Fl0W8TBP1pcIsIacL0ti9JtbZLDo6qmZ0SYZm9QSk_vBmsu9_rc576NsCMIHO0fHY4_sTeo4RHVDAiEh9ZVRQj0EV-aZsfr4bYnuiWdYkEGFm5MxCF6uFyhN_bEX9ZNfkjzI/s320/American+Summer+BOM.jpg" width="296" /></a></div>
We are hoping that showing the finished sample will convince some other shops around the country to pick it up for a BOM project. Diane did such a great job of writing the pattern and putting together great kitting instructions for shops. Since we have our own shop, we know what kind of challenges shop owners face when trying to kit things. There is a fine line between having enough fabric in a kit to allow for operator error, or having too much so that people feel like you are overselling to them.<br />
<br />
American Summer starts in our shop in June, so if you are planning on doing it, either in the shop or by mail, please sign up soon! We will probably start cutting the kits when we get back from Market, since the fabric arrived yesterday! Katie does have it set up so that you can sign up on our website at <a href="http://www.piecefulgathering.com/">www.piecefulgathering.com</a> under Shop Online/Block of the Month Quilts & Clubs.<br />
<br />
My next fabric line, Samantha, is not coming out until September, but Penny Rose sent me some small pieces of the strike-offs to do something for Market. Here is what I have so far - I am still doing some borders, but I am really loving this fabric! The double pinks may look a little bright in this picture, but if the fabric prints the same as the strike-offs, you are all going to love these double pinks. They are dead on authentic colors, and they look so great with the deep rich browns and tans. I have a couple of real quilt designs for this one, but I have been playing with ideas for a BOM for this one, too. (In my spare time - hah!) We will also take pre-orders for Fat Quarter bundles of this line. You can see both of these lines at <a href="https://www.pennyrosefabrics.com/shop/category/penny-rose-fabrics/coming-soon-45/" target="_blank">Penny Rose Fabrics,</a> and order on our website.<br />

Happy Quilting - CarriePieceful Gathering Quilt Shophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02021324590742142131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884076502386157591.post-63833544115004243432015-05-05T17:02:00.003-07:002015-05-05T17:03:21.581-07:00Americana Fabric Line and American Summer BOM<span style="font-size: 16pt.;">Hello Pieceful Quilters!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt.;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt.;">So - after vowing to post a couple of times a week, it has been 5 months - Wow- how did that happen? I could have sworn it was less than three - which is also horrible - but 5????</span><br />
<br />
Anyway, my new fabric company, Penny Rose Fabrics, is doing a blog hop or something, which I said I would participate in. I am not sure what that really means, and I am guessing that they have probably taken a look at my pathetic blog and dropped me off the list - totally understandable! But, on the outside chance that I am still in this - I thought maybe I would post something! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt,;"><span style="font-size: small;">I guess I should start with my fabric lines that are coming out. First, coming soon to a quilt shop near you, we have Americana. Being</span> a total sucker for anything patriotic, this was a natural for me. I learned to be patriotic from my dad, who woke us up on the 4th of July with LOUD Stars & Stripes Forever on the record player. I didn't always appreciate this - particularly in my college years - but I would give anything to have him around to do that now. Lesson: Appreciate your parents while you can - they won't always be around to annoy you!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt.;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt.;">So, I design fabric - or do I? Although I have been known to take out a dot here and there, or change the scale of a design, my fabrics are authentic reproductions of antique fabrics. Most of these fabrics are from quilts, quilt tops, blocks and fabric pieces that I have collected. I have a special affinity for fabrics from the Civil War era, but I like from the 1800's up to the turn of the century. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt.;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt.;">Reproduction - what exactly does that mean? Basically, I choose fabrics I like from my collection. I do what I can to enhance them - sometimes that means making the print sharper, as these fabrics are often pretty faded, and sometimes I don't have big enough pieces to make out the entire pattern, so I piece together what I can, and fill in the blank as best I can. Once I have the print the way I want it, I come up with alternate colorways. Usually, I have a plan - patriotic, pink & brown, blue & white - or anything that Penny Rose needs! I always try to make the colors work together, and throw in some neutrals. Since I own a quilt shop, I know what I need to have in a fabric line for it to sell in my shop. Whenever we order a complete line, it seems like there are a few dogs that I know will end up in our sale room. My goal is to produce a line with no dogs. Hah!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt.;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt.;">I believe I have digressed - back to Americana. The Storyboard is below. As you can see, there are 7 different prints, and each is done in 3 different colorways. There were other prints that the company decided not to use, and other colors that they had do choose from. Once they have decided what to do, a stylist (read that - someone that actually knows what they are doing) fixes everything so that it will print correctly on fabric and they send it out for test prints (strike-offs). Sometimes they get sent back a few times before the colors are just right and the prints are sharp or soft enough.</span> <br />

With the Americana line, we have done a Block-of-the-Month. Diane Nieman designed this awesome quilt and I think you will agree that it works perfectly with my fabrics. We are extra excited that Penny Rose is helping us in offering this to other quilt shops. Ask your local shop if they are going to do it, or do it online through our shop. You can find all the information at: <a href="http://www.piecefulgathering.com/">www.piecefulgathering.com</a> under "Shop Online - Block of the Month Quilts and Clubs.</div>

<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Merry Christmas!</span></span></span></b></i><br />
<br />
I know, it is hard to believe that Christmas is already here, but I was saying to Katie the other day that for some reason, I feel more ready than usual. Not that I have done more (you know me better than that), but somehow I am more ready in my heart - I guess that is how I would describe it.<br />
<br />
Maybe some of you are like me - I don't look forward to events and occasions as much as I seem to look forward to them being over. Not that I want them to end fast (usually), but I am in a hurry to get on to the next thing, or I am worried about something that I should be doing instead. I think a lot of us are like that, and we don't take time to enjoy what is right in front of us.<br />
<br />
I don't know if it is the grandchildren, or just that I am getting to a new stage in my life, but I am truly looking forward to having my family around me and soaking in each joyful moment of the fun and laughter that they bring. I am also vowing to try to live my life in the moment a little more.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a most joyful and blessed Christmas!<br />
<br />
Carrie<br />

<br />
Thread - a boring subject if ever there was one. Let me start by saying that I am, by no means, a thread expert! There are so many questions that arise about thread, and so many misconceptions, that I thought it was worth writing about. I am just going to tell you about some of the thread that we carry, what I use it for, and why I use it. I know there are a million different types of thread on the market and COLORS - oh the colors! You could spend a fortune and never have the right color! Talk about counter candy...<br />
<br />
Here are some of the threads that I like to use:<br />

<br />
You may notice a common "thread" here (groan). All of them are shades of beige and brown. Truthfully, I don't use a lot of colors. There doesn't seem to be much need for a lot of colors in the types of things I do.<br />
<br />
Lets start on the left. The big cone and the spool in front of it are both Signature 40 weight cotton thread in a color called Mother Goose. Why it is called that is beyond me. It is a great color that magically seems to pick up any color that is near it. Our quilters have used it on many quilts that have a wide range of colors. I even had them use it on a blue and cream quilt of mine. It looks great! We use this brand of thread almost exclusively on our Longarm machine, and many people like to buy the smaller spools for machine quilting on their home machines. A 40 weight thread is a little stronger and a good choice for quilting. We only use 100% cotton for quilting on cotton fabric. There are stories around that polyester in you thread will eventually cut through cotton. I am here to tell you that it is TRUE! One of my instructors quilted her children's baby quilts with a cotton/poly thread and it eventually ripped right through the quilt. This is in our lifetime, so you will not want to use it on an heirloom quilt - which, of course, all of your quilts will be!<br />
<br />
The next spool and cone are Aurifil 50 weight cotton thread. Aurifil is a fabulous thread for piecing. I also use it for quilting smaller projects. 90% of the Aurifil I buy is color 2310 - light beige. I use it for all my piecing. Aurifil is a long staple thread. So, what the heck does that mean? Staple refers to the length of the fibers in the thread. Inexpensive thread has shorter staple fibers which means they are fuzzier and they mess up your machine. They are not as strong as long staple threads, either. You really do get what you pay for, but even then, looks can be deceiving. Nice long staple thread is finer, even though it is stronger, and you will find that if you compare the amount of thread on a spool of Aurifil with the amount of thread on a similar looking spool of some of the other brands, that there is a whole lot more thread. When you start comparing you will find that even though Aurifil is twice the price, there is about twice as much thread on each spool as Gutterman and Mettler. Large Aurifil spools have 1450 yards compared to 876 and 547, and the small spools have 220 yards compared to 110 & 164. Don't be tricked - Aurifil is your best deal for price and quality. I should get paid for this! Another reason to use cotton thread is that it shrinks at the same rate as your fabric. You don't want a baggy quilt, do you?<br />
<br />
The next spool in my picture - that whitish one is water soluble thread. This thread can be great for specific uses, but be careful - keep it in a plastic bag away from your other thread and label it. It looks a lot like regular thread and you do NOT want to accidentally piece your quilt with this! <br />
<br />
Now to the pyramid. The thread on top is YLI Cotton Hand Quilting Thread. I use it for a lot of my hand work- not just quilting. I use it for hand finishing my bindings and, yes, I use it for my English Paper Piecing projects. I like it because it is a little stronger and heavier than Aurifil, and because it is treated with beeswax or something, it doesn't twist and knot as much. Since it is 100% cotton, I know it will be alright for my cotton fabric in the long term.<br />
<br />
Lastly, on the bottom of the pyramid are the only two colors of YLI silk that I buy - light taupe and dark taupe (or brown color 235 and beige color 242). I ONLY use silk for applique. I know some people have used it in the top of their machines for machine applique, too. What is nice about silk in these colors is that the silk is kind of translucent, so it picks up whatever color you are using in on (in the unlikely event that your stitches even show). So, why only applique, you ask. Some people are saying you must use it for English Paper Piecing. Seriously??? Have you ever seen an antique crazy quilt with silks and other fabrics? What is the first fabric to shatter? Yes, the silk. Why would you piece with that? At least applique would be easy for your heirs to repair. Besides it is so fine it is hard to keep in your needle, and if you are like me you can barely see the stuff. <br />
<br />
Some other thoughts - GET RID OF GRAMA'S THREAD! Unless you are displaying it in a glass jar because it looks so quaint on the wooden spools. Old thread gets brittle and breaks. If you have thread that is more than 5 years old, throw it away, or save it for basting or make birds nests out of it. Sure, you have nothing else to do, right? Throw it out! <br />
<br />
Nylon or other see-through threads. I used to use these for quilting - but, isn't nylon like polyester? Besides, it gleams in the light and looks kind of weird. It also melts if you press it - fun! Stick with cotton. If your quilting is that bad, we have people for that. Have you seen mine? Ask my staff about my lack of skill in that department. Thank God for my people!<br />
<br />
Well, I hope I haven't totally bored you to death. I would do a post on needles, which are really boring, but I couldn't stay awake during the needle class at market. Z-z-z-z-z.<br />
<br />
Hope this answers some questions. <br />

My thought is, "Tis the Season to be Tacky!" What other time of the year can you wear beautifully gaudy clothing and jewelry and people think you have a great attitude, and not that you shop at the resale shop (even if you did)!?! Here a couple of sweaters from my personal collection of Seasonal Tackiness:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAlXnsxCiSQ0iC-96sC2ZzfWOoWWYRYRTtnqhh2tctdUS8zA2iBf4vVLvxN4war1q3eVDaJP-kgB0NH0_z4typjryww5AN7Ph1rGbqNcu81zPrQdW_yINValAiIEHro3Q6aXqcHt5_0qg/s1600/IMG_3402.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAlXnsxCiSQ0iC-96sC2ZzfWOoWWYRYRTtnqhh2tctdUS8zA2iBf4vVLvxN4war1q3eVDaJP-kgB0NH0_z4typjryww5AN7Ph1rGbqNcu81zPrQdW_yINValAiIEHro3Q6aXqcHt5_0qg/s1600/IMG_3402.JPG" height="316" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The one of the left is actually mine! I bought it at Kohl's at least 20 years ago - maybe more like 30. It has seen many a holiday party, and more recently a slew of ugly sweater parties on my children. I am never sure if I am insulted or amused. <br />
<br />
The one on the right may be even more "Vintage." It belonged to my mother. The giant buttons, of which several are missing, are decorated as cookies. Could it get any better than that? It has also seen a lot of use (and abuse). I am pretty sure Mom is up in heaven trying to decide if she is insulted or not. Of course, it is just not the same without her red bow blouse. She was truly the cat's meow! <br />
<br />
So - you decide - Gloriously Tacky, or Ugly?<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas to All!<br />

I hope you all had as pleasant a day as we did. As most of you know, I am totally spoiled. Tony does all the cooking, and even the pies - which used to be my department - are now delivered from a friend of Katie's who bakes amazingly! I do still have the clean-up duty, but truthfully, Tony is pretty good about cleaning as he goes, so there is not a lot of the most nasty stuff - just plates and serving bowls. <br />
<br />
This year's feast was better than ever. We say that every year, but there is nothing better than waking up in the morning to the smell of roasting turkey (yes, I sleep in, too - hate me if you wish). We were a little earlier than usual this year, since John had to get to work at Target. It has been an hour or two earlier every year since he started there. Sheesh! Once the little ones arrived, it started to seem like the holidays were really here. I don't know what we laughed about before, but it is amazing how a couple of little girls can keep a room full of adults enthralled. Such fun! I even managed to get a couple of hours in on my Lucy Boston Quilt. I am working hard to get a corner finished before the Open House next week. I would love to have some more of you join my English Paper Piecing Club - but I digress....<br />
<br />
The real reason for the day was not forgotten. Tony said a wonderful Grace before our meal, as always thanking for family, and of course for the troops that ensure the freedom that we have, and lastly a prayer for those that couldn't be with us. These are the important things in life, but I have to add my own thanks - for <u>you</u>. <br />
<br />
Whenever I count my blessings, I thank God for leading me into this wonderful business. I joke about every day being a slice of joy here at Pieceful Gathering, but in my mind, that is really true. Where else can you go to work every day and expect smiling and happy people to show up - not only am I blessed with wonderful friends that come in and shop, but I have been especially blessed to have my daughter join me in this craziness, and the most amazing group of women that work with me. It took me awhile to find my way here, but in looking back, I realize that everything I did up to now was preparing me for this. God does have a plan, and sometimes you just have to wait to find out what it is. <br />
<br />
Yesterday as so much fun - I would rather slit my throat than venture out to the mall on the day after Thanksgiving, but here, it was like an all-day happy-fest. New friends and old came by to shop our sale, or just to hang out and pet the fabric. Our Black Friday Sale continues today - and for those of you that are far away, we will be happy to honor the sale to anyone that calls in an order and mentions the sale. <br />
<br />
Thank you all for making my life what it is today!<br />

Lucy Boston, that is! It is hard to believe that I have been at this for over a year and I have not started to lose interest! This is way longer than my ADD usually lets me stay focused on one thing. It is just so cool when the pieces come together and create such awesome patterns. I made a few blocks before I was convinced to start kitting them, so I have quite a few done, or at least planned. The blocks I have done for kits are below. To make the kits, I merely glue the fabric on the papers and take a picture, so a good number of these are not really done. I am really working at catching up right now, though, since I have started Karen Styles, <a href="http://somersetpatchwork.com.au/current/picts/l-Quilt-Mrs-Billings-Coverlet.jpg" target="_blank">"Mrs. Billings Coverlet.</a>" An English Paper Pieced Medallion Quilt. Coincidentally, Block 33 is made from Karen's new fabric line, "Victoria Park."<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining me in this obsession, you can sign up to receive 2 block kits every 3-4 weeks. Kits are usually $5.99 each, but occasionally $6.99 if I use a fabric with a large repeat that requires more fabric to make the block. In the kits you will receive enough fabric to make the block, and some extra which you should be able to complete some of the setting blocks out of. If you decide to do the whole quilt, you will need to make 56 blocks. I will keep kitting blocks as long as there is interest. You will be responsible for purchasing your own background fabric and a contrast fabric that is used in the setting. Other items you will need are listed on our <a href="http://www.piecefulgathering.com/contents/en-us/d101.html" target="_blank">website</a>. Feel free to call the shop if you have questions - (847) 516-7911.<br />

Here is a picture of the original quilt which was made by Lucy Boston in the 1950's. <br />

Lucy Boston was also a well-know writer who is know for her children's series about the Children of the Green Knowe. I loved these books when I was young, so it seems like fate that I would one day be in love with her quilt! <br />

<br />
I know - you are thinking I have finally flipped out, but what is a quilter, really? Someone who quilts. Vonnie, Cathy, Demi, Teresa and Brenda are the Gammie Girls. They are our shop quilters. I am a piecer. I am fairly skilled at piecing, but when it comes to quilting, it would seem that I am missing whatever gene it is that controls that ability,<br />
<br />
"The right tools will make the job easier." My sweet husband says that all the time, and based on that premise, I bought a wonderful brand new huge Bernina last year. It has everything I need to make, and quilt, perfect quilts, including the Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR). For the uninformed, this is a nifty gadget that you put on the machine. It stitches evenly as you move the fabric under it. Accordingly, you should make perfectly even stitches while you effortlessly glide the quilt under the magic needle while it dances across your quilt making wonderful smooth loops and curves. <br />
<br />
What Bernina doesn't tell you is that the operator of the machine (that would be me) is the one that has to be smooth. Oh yeah, the stitches are perfectly spaced, but they are perfectly spaced in a manner that would make you think the operator might have been having seizures while moving the fabric. <br />
<br />
I have done several quilts now - ok, not a lot of practice, but I really only do little quilts on my own machine. At least I am smart enough to have figured out that my "People" are worth their weight in gold. There is no way that I am going to spend all the time to piece a large quilt and then ruin it with my horrible quilting.<br />
<br />
No, I will keep quilting my small quilts, but for awhile I will just stick to my usual ditch quilting. I am sure that at some point I will get the urge to prove to myself just how bad I am, and try it again. This should make my quilters happy, though, because it makes me really appreciate their talent. <br />
<br />
If you think I am making this up - stop by the shop and see my latest debacle. If you think your quilting is bad.....<br />
<br />
Do you quilt your own quilts most of the time? How much practice should it take to do this? <br />
<br />
Thought for the Day: Practice doesn't always make perfect!Pieceful Gathering Quilt Shophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02021324590742142131noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884076502386157591.post-25560297932834500312014-11-19T08:00:00.000-08:002014-11-19T08:00:04.511-08:00Losing your Mojo...If you come to the shop often, you have probably heard all of my "interesting" theories. You also probably know, that I am <u>not</u> a finisher. Not that I don't ever finish anything, but I have learned to stop letting those unfinished projects block my mojo. You know what I mean - you go into your sewing room, and right smack-dab in the middle of your peaceful spot is that project that you started last week, or last month, or maybe even farther in the past. Guilt overtakes you - you know you should finish it before you start anything else, but you really aren't interested in it anymore. Whatever it is that attracted you to it in the first place is over. You probably got something out of it - maybe you learned a new method of piecing, or you tried a new ruler. Maybe you just went outside of your box when it came to choosing the fabric, and in the long run, wished that you hadn't. In any case, you are not physically finished, but in your heart and mind you are DONE! <br />
<br />
SO - you need to get over it! It is blocking your mojo and stopping you from learning something new or starting a project that you might actually want to finish because you love it so much. Think about it - you are clearly not alone. Have you ever gone on eBay and seen all the quilt tops and blocks for sale? My friend, Sandy Schweitzer - local quilt historian and AQS Certified Appraiser - says that we shouldn't worry about our UFO's. We are just creating historic quilt tops and parts for future generations!<br />
<br />
If you aren't really interested in going down in history as the largest producer of UFO's ever, you can do what I do - donate your UFO's to our Pieceful Auction! This has been a wonderful way for me to relieve my guilt. And people actually take them home, and quite often bring them back finished! This makes me happy on so many levels. <br />
<br />
What is the auction you ask? This is an event that we sponsor every year in February or March. It is our way of rewarding our customers with a fun afternoon, and a chance to get a lot of cool Pieceful Junk. Ok - not all junk, but some. One woman's trash.....<br />
<br />
We auction off lots of scrap bags, unsold kits and things that are maybe missing a pattern or fabric. Some of the stuff is donated by our suppliers, and some is from our own collection of UFO's. In addition to our stuff, our customers (like you) can donate (purge) their UFO's, excess fabric, kits they will never finish, books they bought twice (yes, we all do that), and anything you can think of that is sewing related and quilt shop quality (please, give your Joanne fabric to charity). <br />
<br />
You are probably wondering how you can participate in this awesome sounding event. All the bids are made with Pieceful Bucks. This is Play Money that you start collecting at the beginning of the New Year. You can get Pieceful Bucks in a number of ways. The main way is by spending money at the shop. You receive Bucks for every dollar you spend, including sale stuff and tax! Be sure to watch the weekly email, because there are usually double and triple buck days and items that you can purchase. <br />
<br />
You can also get Bucks for bringing Pieceful Show & Tell to classes and clubs. You can also just stop by and show us anything that you have made in a Pieceful Class, or using our fabric or that has been quilted by one of our Gammie Girls. <br />
<br />
The final way, which brings us back to the theme of this post, is to purge from your sewing room. We will guestimate what your item is worth (retail) and give you Pieceful Bucks that equal that cost (or more - we like to round up). What a great way to move those UFO's along and free yourself up to start something new!<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that the finishers of the world, while being good and noble people, do not keep your favorite quilt shops in business! I am not just talking about Pieceful Gathering, either!<br />

Thought for the day - Get Over It!Pieceful Gathering Quilt Shophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02021324590742142131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884076502386157591.post-88639247475556235872014-11-17T14:09:00.000-08:002014-11-17T14:09:31.004-08:00Starting all over again.....Wow - I knew it had been awhile since I posted, but I didn't realize it had been that long! When we attend Quilt Market, they say you are supposed to do all kinds of Social Media all the time. Some of my fellow shop owners seem to be pretty good at posting things all over the place and still running a decent shop and keeping up with on line orders. I am pretty sure that these super women are really not human at all - perhaps they are aliens that require no sleep, and they have little alien sweat shops that keep things running. <br />
<br />
I don't require a lot of sleep, and I often go for weeks at a time without getting more that 5-6 hours (or a lot less) every night. People tell me that is not good, but truthfully, I usually get the most work done between 10 and 2 a.m. What is wrong with that? So, my clock is backwards. Maybe I was born at 10 at night, so that is my morning. Who knows. Are any of you like me? Do you wonder why the morning people get to set all the rules about when things are supposed to be open or closed. <br />
<br />
Oh well - I guess I will just keep going along and trying to fit into this backwards world. <br />
<br />
Last week my sister sent me a link to a blog that is written by a girl I went to High School with, Barbara Mahaney. She used to be Barbie then - and always will be in my mind (sorry Barbie). I have followed her career with interest, as she has been a writer for the Tribune for quite awhile. She writes those great lifestyle articles that make you think, and often bring tears and smiles. She is a really wonderful writer, and her blog, "Pull Up a Chair," <a href="http://pullupachair.org/">http://pullupachair.org/</a> is really a nice way to start your day (no matter what time you start). It might be a little bit spiritual for some of you, but sometimes it is nice to just read something peaceful. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I have always liked to write - although I do know that I tend to babble on a bit - so I thought maybe I will give this blog thing another go around. I might not write every day, but I will try to be regular, at least. I will share what is going on in my quilting world, and a little about the rest of my life - if I find it humorous or uplifting. I am pretty sure nobody wants to know a blow by blow about all the insanity of my normal days!<br />
<br />
So - keep watching my Pieceful Blog - and I will try to bring a little piece and peace to your days!<br />

<strong>I am sorry this took so long to get posted. I seem to have a lot of trouble formatting this blog thing. I am not sure what my problem is, but nothing seems to stay where I put it. Anyway, here are the winners from this year's show. It was harder than ever for our judge to decide, let alone for us to choose the staff favorite and some others. Everyone did such a fabulous job this year.
