Three Easy to Sew Quilts -- All from different lines of fabrics....

Quilts will be on display at LouAnn's Quilt Garden in Oelwein, Iowa later today, October 4, 2010.

.... Just choose a line of fabric and stitch it up!!! Using The Easy to Sew Pattern... it will guide you thru' how to choose the fabric and how to sew this easy quilt! Sewing made fun again!


Linda Kowalski made the brown and yellow quilt and I quilted it with vertical wavy lines. Deb Czech made the pink and green quilt. I chose to quilt it with overall swirls. I made the blue and yellow quilt and quilted it with a two color ribbon quilting and double daisies. All using the same Easy to Sew Quilt pattern, with different lines of fabrics .... The pattern makes it so simple!! ..... Choose a focus fabric for the center sections of the block and then add a light, medium and two dark fabrics.... choose some with a little texture. The possibilities are endless!! Add a wider border on the outside or add two or three borders to make the quilt larger. Choosing a whole line of fabric makes it easy! 


See several photos of the Easy to Sew Quilts at the Photo Gallery at www.craftysewing.com Lots of close ups too!

A New Look ! Slide Shows, Photo Gallery, and Online Store!

A New Look to my Website features hundreds of new pictures in the Photo Gallery. I added a couple photos of every quilt I quilted this year! Some are up close of the quilting like the photo here! That one I made into a quilted photo note card and a post card. You can purchase the note cards and three other styles on my website with a credit card!

Over the next couple weeks I will add a couple pictures of all the quilts I quilted last year then a couple weeks later, I will add the year before! Soon there will be a couple thousand pictures of quilts! Amazing!! I can't do it all in one day as I have to quilt in between --- I can't just work on the computer! Ha Ha! I added a couple of slide shows to the website on the Quilted Tote Bag page and on the bottom of the Reconstruction page. I am in the process of adding more One of a Kind Quilted Tote Bags for purchase. Several Quilted Tote Bags are completed and the photos are ready for upload I just have to write the descriptions for the Online Store!

Second Annual BEAN WEEK! July 2010

Last week we had our Second Annual BEAN WEEK! Mark and I and MOM and Alex got together last year and this year to FREEZE GREEN BEANS!!! Great Grandma Nordeen said green beans are the Best vegetable for you and she was right!!!! We love them!!! Next post I will post my recipe for Beans and Potatoes. Because Mark and I love our "Day Jobs" so much we managed to squeeze in web pages and quilting! Mark worked on my Online Store on my website and I worked on putting together the beginning parts of a T-shirt Quilt for Spencer (Mark's step son). It was a very productive week!!!
