I was using this method for making a square bottom on the tote and a few of the members were not aware of this. Soooo, I decided to create a little Tute for it...Here it is:<br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cAIZsif6DLA/T3XFmPjggKI/AAAAAAAAAOI/nymF2TzyqHc/s1600/IMG_3952.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" dea="true" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cAIZsif6DLA/T3XFmPjggKI/AAAAAAAAAOI/nymF2TzyqHc/s200/IMG_3952.JPG" width="200" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">measure from the fold 1/2 the desired width of the bottom plus 1/4"</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-32Kt8PGgtiA/T3XFQAJ09GI/AAAAAAAAAOA/LFtdIBkEoxw/s1600/IMG_3951.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" dea="true" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-32Kt8PGgtiA/T3XFQAJ09GI/AAAAAAAAAOA/LFtdIBkEoxw/s200/IMG_3951.JPG" width="200" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> measure the same distance from the<i> SEAM</i> line</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gBzVp3aVJ2o/T3XGEhhjOKI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/TRnhofApkcY/s1600/IMG_3953.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" dea="true" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gBzVp3aVJ2o/T3XGEhhjOKI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/TRnhofApkcY/s200/IMG_3953.JPG" width="150" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">cut along markings. It will be a square from the <br />
<i>seam line</i> (not the edge) to the<i> fold</i> </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, match the FOLD to the SEAM. Stitch. This will create a square bottom. A 1" square will create a 2" wide bottom. <br />

I just sent my mug rugs to the UK for the latest Quilting Gallery swap. I really love these swaps! <br />
My friend, Jeanette, and I are getting very excited as our trip to Scotland, Wales, and England approaches. We will be leaving June 6 and returning in July 9!! What a trip! I will try to remember to post pics when we get back.<br />

I started over 6 times!!! They just wouldn't talk to me. At first I was being way too literal. Then I found a pattern that worked wonderfully Except when I sewed the rows together---YUK! I apparantly didn't trim leaving a quarter inch seam all around the blocks. Hmmm, that won't work...Soooo, begin again! Another new beginning, huh?!! Here is the finished product.<br />

</tbody></table> The title of New Beginnings somehow threw me off...Don't know why...the pattern I finally chose was from a BOM at Craftsy. The three stripes in a wave pattern represent the 3 tidal surge waves of Hurricane Katrina that hit the Ms Gulf Coast. I live about 2 miles from the beach. The entire coast had a new beginning after this storm. The borders are quilted in a flowing water pattern to symbolize the end of the storm. The scrappy blocks symbolize what most of us had left...scraps of what was. But, we put on our big girl/boy britches and started a New Beginning for ourselves! I am now happy with my choice for this swap. I hope my partner likes it! Can't wait to see what I get and from where..so exciting!!<br />

The theme is "new beginnings". Hmmmm. That opens a whole can of worms!! But I decided to go with a scrappy flower basket...reminiscent of spring...new flowers..Easter...new life....I am going to try to post the progress of this quilt. I am doing paper piecing aka foundation piecing. I love it! Have a friend who hyperventilates every time it is mentioned!! She does, however, enjoy English paper piecing.<br />

The room I was using is 10' x 12'. Now it will be an office space. The new room is 10' x 20'. After moving in, I can't believe that alll that stuff fit in the other room! Well, with all this new space, I had better be productive. Here are some pics....<br />

My oldest daughter had a crazy and fun Halloween party! We watched Its The Great Pumpkin on the side of the fence, the children had a game of ghost bowling, and the food was amazing!!! It was soo much fun that we repeated it for Thanksgiving!! Ate outside under a canopy, served the food inside buffet style. What a great way to spend a holiday. Wonder if she will do this for Christmas...NOT!! Maybe New's Years Eve.<br />

I am in the process of making Sock Monkeys for my 7 youngest grandchildren. Almost done! They each have their own personalities. Here are a few completed ones. I can't help but name them.<br />

Apparently I have been really busy not to have posted in ages! Since I last talked to y'all, I have not completed the quilt for the doll bed, have made several dresses, and more aprons for a craft show Oct 1.<br />
I found some really neat bags to use for my fabric & zipper flowers. They come with printable / stickable / hangable tops. I think they look really professional.<br />

I ordered larger bags for my Mug Rugs and my partner's embroidered/appliqued kitchen towels. I am getting excited about the show.<br />
This Friday, my "girls" and I are going to the Pecan Festival in Richton, Ms. We have gone for 2 years now. The first year, it rained as soon as we entered the park. Not just a sprinkle, a real Gully-washer! Didn't get to see anything that year. Last year was great. The food, the pecan pies, the crafts....Love it!!!<br />
More pics later, especially of the festival. until then,,,,,keep stitchin'!!!

Thought I would hand quilt it since it is for an antique, the pattern is an old one (dresden plate) and the fabrics are '40's reproductions. Looking really cute, but taking me way too long. Of course, I have completed other projects in the meantime.<br />
Here is the quilt in progress:<br />

Finally went to North Carolina to see my new twin grandbabies..and their siblings of course. They are sooo sweet! Could it be that I am a bit prejudiced??? Naaaa. They just are!!!<br />
Here is a pic of Hannah's new dress. Her mom, my daughter Stormi, asked for a dress with fireflies. I created this design several years ago for Creative Needle. Never have used it for a garment. Don't know why. So, Hannah, grandchild number 8, gets the first!<br />

The doll bed is over 50 years old. My grandmother gave it to me and one to my cousin when I was between 6 and 8. Can't remember. The bed has been through several moves to different houses over the years, and several hurricanes. Hurricane Katrina nearly did her in. I can't part with it yet. She is going be so beautiful with a new mattress and her very own quilt. More postings of the progress as progress is made. I work on this while watching the news or movies or something really important like "American Idol". <br />
Till next time...Keep stitchin' Marsha<br />

Been busy getting ready for a craft show. Now I am working on Easter outfits for grandchildren. This time I am making a "progress journal" in pics of the outfits. I took pics of the fabrics, vintage linen used for the collars of 2 of the dresses and then construction at different points. I will post when I finish. <br />
The craft show was not fun...too hot, very few people, and very few sales. But, that's how it is sometimes. There were several other events this weekend also, so I guess people had to choose to miss out on something. My friend, Lisa, did fairly well. I am so excited for her. She does the most wonderful pottery. AND she does the most wonderful quilts, too!<br />
Gotta get back to Hannah's dress now. I need to finish these 4 and get them in the mail soon.<br />

</tbody></table> I finally got back to work. I am trying to embroidery some earrings using metalic thread. I am ready to give up!!!!! Why can't I do this???? The thread keeps breaking... I have everything I am supposed to have...metallic needle, thread spool in correct position, correct bobbin thread....something ain't right!! guess I better get back to it...<br />
Let me hear from ya...keep stitchin', Marshaanything with a needlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07143235908230527061noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2841831331940174803.post-28213901680729698802011-03-02T12:02:00.000-08:002011-03-02T12:02:48.621-08:00AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!! Finally realized that I need to get on the ball to have enough items for a good showing at the Live Oak Crafts Festival. So, I get a great idea for a half apron.....go to iron the material....THE IRON DOESN'T WORK!!! We will now have a moment of silence......................Now, I have to go get a new iron... Not in my budget this month, but gotta have it! Then, after accepting the purchase of a new iron, I can't remember my password to login to the blog. Had several written down....none worked....... finally reset the password.<br />
I think I will just go pout for a while! I need chocolate.<br />
On the brighter side, friends and I are taking a day trip to Cajun Village somewhere in Louisiana. We have been there before, but I can't remember where it is. Hope the driver, Jeanette, can remember. We are, of course, going to smoke out fabric stores. And eat (its all about the food and fabric, right?). I will post pics when we get back. <br />
So, I am off to have a cup of coffee and pout while I decide which iron to get. I hate to go to Walmart!<br />
Meanwhile, keep stitchin'!!

Sent my mug rugs to my swap partner in Alaska -- 2 weeks ago!!! She still hasn't received them!! But she said not to fret just yet. Takes a bit longer for mail to reach her.<br />
Went to a quilt exhibit with friends. These were not for competition, just display. At the Methodist Church in Robertsdale, Ala. Some of the quilts were civil war era! Beautiful things. Made me feel very humble at the workmanship in these quilts. Here are a few of the quilts:<br />

I did manage to complete a pair of flip flops and a matching hairband, wash the rims of my vehicle, bake cookies, and look for a "happy" to include with my mug rug swap. But, I don't feel like I really accomplished anything. It's a beautiful day here on the Ms coast. 70 degrees (is there a degree symbol on a keyboard?) and a cool breeze blowing. Cloudy, though. Supposed to rain again tomorrow. <br />
I finished my other mug rug for the swap. I call it Seagulls in the Air, instead of Geese in the Air. <br />

I love it! Never could cut all those tiny triangles. <br />
While I am thinking about it..... why can we make a half square triangle out of 2 squares, but not 2 rectangles. I know it wouldn't be called a half <i>square</i> triangle, maybe a half <i>rectangle</i> triangle. Can't be done. If you know the trick ---Please share!!! <br />

We are now up to 25 total members. Very exciting. We also have a permanent meeting place that will accommodate us, so far. I do hope we continue to grow.<br />
Have ya'll entered the Mug Rug swap sponsored by Quilting Gallery? I have. One down and one to go. I love these swaps. It's so exciting to see where I will send my item and even better, to see where mine came from! Many new friends!<br />
