Oh Scrap . . . My Very Own CHICKEN COOP BOM

I'm sharing the December beginnings BOM of a local Oklahoma Quilt shop that will create a pattern of cute little houses.  

I am one that is always drawn to QUILT TWICE.... so I'm developing my very own set of houses that feature little hens -- roosters -- and baby chicks!   My hometown/birthplace is Chickasha Oklahoma... thus my mom often called me a little "chic-a-dee".  I'm sure I had the skinny legs hopping around the house as the only girl for a very long time.   

So.... I'll fill my house pattern with the chickens~~ 

Hahaha   this is my semi-formal foot attire.... my Christmas gift 2017 as I enter the sewing room each day....

It's so hard for me to follow perfectly a recipe or a pattern....  I'm using a snowflake "sky" pattern on a few of these houses.

. . . a little soft music in the background.... and another Christmas gift from my oldest daughter... a teacup of scented candles!!!

Good Memories throughout  ~

Thursday Thoughts on Long Arm Quilting

I am indeed delighted to begin a new path into my long arm quilting business adventure this upcoming year of 2017! 

It all starts out the same way..... a bit of cutting, piecing and ironing,

This is a 60" x 60" Valentine Square quilt top that was one of my early (like 2007) UFO...  Yes indeed.    So, onto the long arm frame it is.  

I have a three year old niece that needs her very only LOVE Blanket as a Christmas present!

Tis the Year Ending 2016

Hubby watching WALKING DEAD... Last season episode....  and I have a TRANSFORMATIONAL SEWING ROOM WITH MY LONG ARM QUILTING MACHINE (Baby Lock Coronet)

Re- Put defined

This has to be my midnight word....!!!!   Re-putting..... re-investing..... to put in again!!!


It's the way I love my grandchildren!   And I have three birth children!   and three chosen children! The baby boy has my heart.   His sister was the shining star.... she was and is still my best friend!  And there is the first-born.....   He is ir - replaceable!!!

I've been thinking of my grandmother Martha Bell Smith-Sipuel.   She loved us! 

Re-Tooling . . . .

Thursday's Briefing

Long Arm Equals A Baby Lock 4me!

Although my sewing is back to its usual messiness.... with about 5 projects.... in process (I'm happy)

I've been a'pondering and a'lookin at our local BSewin dealer... at their Coronet long arm quilting machine.

 

remember.... the new quiltin projects I mentioned..... ahhhh ha ...   I discovered for a first time visit to Yukon, Oklahoma.   Even signed up for a BOM....   The ladies were really friendly.   I've had several disappointing visits to quilt shops that felt like a closed society.... anti-friendly... anti-helping a black woman who loves quilting.... 

So... I certainly match kindness when it is genuine!!

Pre-Elect.... Oh My Oh My

Oh for the joy that is set before this grand ole' USA..... November 2016

Watch me now.....Dear Rosa Parks
