Snap Shot was a Quilt Along at Fat Quarter Shop, one block a month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The block was "free" you were given the opportunity to donate to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which I did gladly, it is always good when one can help.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The quilt is really not my style but I fell for </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the second block "sewing machine" and then the "kettle block", </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
well, I made it to the end. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I quilted it with just straight lines</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not perfect but finished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

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

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it is called Crossroads. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought the fabric from Fat Quater Shop</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the pattern was free on their website and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they gave you a chance to donate </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to "March of Dimes" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A fighting chance for every baby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"March of Dimes" are an amazing organization whose </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mission is to prevent premature births.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, one in ten babies are born prematurely, and many will not survive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is always nice if one can help.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Learned some new techniques, it was fun to knit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The yarn was hand dyed Skinny Singles from Ireland</div>

Today is a show time - well, only two quilts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is "Tree of Life"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pattern from Edyta Sitar (my version). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was specially made for my daughter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Quilted by <a href="http://www.creativebits.biz/">Birgit Schüller </a> a great quilter in Riegelsberg, Germany.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a king size quilt, little to big for my sewing machine.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the back is my daughter's name. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is about 1/3 of the back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

May 7th 2016 started the six-month quiltalong at <a href="http://barbarabrackman.blogspot.is/2016/04/morris-hexathon-introduction.html">Barbara Brackman blog .</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New hexagon block every Saturday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to join and do some more English Paper Piecing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As Barbara says on her blog </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"We'll make various hexies as we discuss a little hexie history. The main theme will be a jog through William Morris's England with stops at places that were important in his life and work. It's a virtual Morris Tour of England."</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Three blocks done already.</div>

Fat Quarter Shop BOM 2014-15.</div>

I'm rather pleased how it turned out.<br />
<br />
It's a Moda fabric called "Snowbird" from Laundry Basket Quilt.<br />
<br />
I used the same fabric for "Legacy Quilt", 12 blocks 16"<br />
Each block pieced by hand.<br />

Have been working on "Just Takes 2" quilt top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The blocks have been waiting in the box for to long.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WrKZTbaKynQ/VREkzMgRgMI/AAAAAAAACX8/IxETZBQ95ng/s1600/P1020957.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WrKZTbaKynQ/VREkzMgRgMI/AAAAAAAACX8/IxETZBQ95ng/s1600/P1020957.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that they are all pieced together with sashing and stones,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the next step is to do 120 flying geese.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pAEId7bHSoc/VREkYr5kIgI/AAAAAAAACXM/Rk-vphovuGA/s1600/P1020952.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pAEId7bHSoc/VREkYr5kIgI/AAAAAAAACXM/Rk-vphovuGA/s1600/P1020952.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it comes handy to have "The Angler 2" from Pam Bono.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a plastic quilting template that fits every sewing machine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No need to spend time marking with a pencil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple of months ago, <a href="http://fatquartershop.blogspot.com/">Fat Quarter Shop,</a> along with Edyta Sitar of <a href="http://laundrybasketquilts.com/">Laundry Basket Quilts</a>, (my favorite designer), hosted a Heart's Content Thread Box Contest on FQS's blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took part and made a mini quilt, which I call </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Hearts and Home."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UmB0_YppLlw/VPgbkI_JW0I/AAAAAAAACTA/vbW-XYWi9OA/s1600/hjortu%2Bog%2Bheimili.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UmB0_YppLlw/VPgbkI_JW0I/AAAAAAAACTA/vbW-XYWi9OA/s1600/hjortu%2Bog%2Bheimili.jpg" height="320" width="260" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The heart stencil came with the box, (I love hearts in a quilt), </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the houses are not quite my invention, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a stencil from old days, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the cats, I shaped by using 50 cent and 20 cent coins. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think they are rather cute. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course, all is sewn and quilted with Aurifill Thread. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only thread I use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately we were only three participating, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can go to <a href="http://fatquartershop.blogspot.com/">FQS's Blog</a> and have a look at the other two. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just scroll down to Saturday February 28th. You can actually vote for your favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a nice day.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm very pleased with myself, having finished it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a lot of fun doing stitches using ribbons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I bought this book "Embroidered & Embellished" by Christen Brown,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to learn some more stitches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If only there were more hours round the clock!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy stitching.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next step is to assemble the blocks and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
decide on the border.</div>

Earlier this year I bought this book, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wasn't sure if I could do this reverse appliqué.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Made two or three practice blocks before </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided and bought the fabric for this quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For the main print I'm using batik from "Laundry Basket" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
designed by Edyta Sitar. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The foreground fabric, cream tone on tone prints.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I just love this.</div>

This morning the fabric for block 2 arrived.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this fabric, it is called Snowbird, from Laundry Basket Quilts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm a big fan of Edyta and buy a lot of fabric from her <a href="http://www.laundrybasketquilts.net/index.html">web</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is giving a workshop in Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines in September,</div>

This quilt, The Flower Garden, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
has been waiting for a long time now to be quilted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted a wooden floor frame, but was not able to find it anywhere near.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But this is what I could get for not to much money, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dritz Quilting Quilters Floor Frame.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is PVC and works really good, (but it is not pretty) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
adjustable height and the frame is 28"x35"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I better go and do some quilting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enjoy your day.</div>

Signed up for Di Ford's Mystery Quilt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pattern is in Quilt mania, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the fabric I get from "The Quilt Room" in UK.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Inside was the Backing Kit for Downton Abbey Mystery Quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have never received so beautifully packed fabric before,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the fabric is very special, I just love it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All blocks are made, now it is just time to assemble the quilt.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who doesn't like Downton Abbey?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I love it, and most of all I love the Dowager Countess.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KYnF13HjNg8/Uxbtyx9ohiI/AAAAAAAAB-4/CyikB0RP1bk/s1600/a+lady.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KYnF13HjNg8/Uxbtyx9ohiI/AAAAAAAAB-4/CyikB0RP1bk/s1600/a+lady.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This photo is all over facebook and I just have to share it with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I signed up for "Downton Abbey Mystery Quilt Along" which started in November 2013,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
had no chance to start mine until late February, having a guest in the house for two months, no time for sewing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the quote from the Dowager Countess, when Cora's mother was visiting from USA (Shirley MacLaine).:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"No guest should be admitted without the date of their departure being known".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many brilliant quotes from her, like:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Parenting is difficult even when you like the child".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I am a woman, Mary. I can be as contrary as I choose".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Of course it would be a foreigner. No Englishman </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
would dream of dying in someone else's house".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are just a few I could think of for now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and some of my blocks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh yes one more quote:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I was right about my maid. She's leaving - to get married!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How could she be so selfish?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well that is all for today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
