We were all talking and then, bang, the rod that I hang quilt tops in waiting splintered as you can see here. I guess I put one too many on that rod.<br />

Everyone at least got started on sewing the rug together, but 5 had their rugs done at the end of the class. There were some curvy ones and I hope they can be ironed out. I haven't ever had a big problem with curvy or wonky rugs. My sewing machine sits down into a table, so my surface is perfectly flat. Maybe that makes a difference. Anyway, it was a fun day.<br />

I quilted 278 quilts on the longarm.<br />
<br />
<b>39 of those 278 were quilts made by me.</b><br />
11 for Quiltmaker or Craftsy.<br />
9 were memory/t-shirt quilts<br />
6 were donation quilts<br />
9 were made for family members<br />
2 gifted to non-family and<br />
2 for me<br />
<br />
I completed 10 UFOs, made countless hexagon coasters, 13 drawstring jewelry bags, 5 jelly roll rugs, a project bag, a fabric notebook cover, and added 8 new UFOs to my list.<br />
<br />
My goals for this year are: Use what I have, clean it up, make room.<br />
I joined a 52 Week Challenge group and the first week is organize your sewing space. Here's my before pics:<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Planning to make a quilt for Bella’s birthday, I asked Kathy what she likes. Butterflies, mermaids, My Little Pony, Hello Kitty, and Peppa Pig, so a trip to Joanns for a half-yard of the last three. The rest was already in my sewing room just waiting for the perfect quilt. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I was planning to make a pillowcase for the quilt and one for her brother, Robbie, too. Then I decided to make him a quilt also. Jason said he likes dinosaurs, so the search for Dino quilts began. I saw this cute panel. What could be easier than adding borders to a panel? Perfect fabrics in my stash for this one too! </span></div>

Can you believe it's April 9th already and here in Lafayette it's snowing again. It's supposed to be in the 70s later this week.</div>
<div>
In a little over 5 weeks we will be enjoying our retreat in Shipshewana. It seems like it takes forever to get here, and then the time finally comes and then it's over, just like that! Here are some need-to-know details of the retreat. If you have attended in the past, much of the information is the same.</div>

<div>
I hope you are all as excited as I am to be preparing for the Threads of Mine/The Quilting Room Retreat in Shipshewana. This Spring we are happy to have some members of The Quilting Room FB group join us again. Since we have quilters from across the United States, I will have a map at the retreat showing where we are all from. We all have the same passion and love to share our ideas. Some of the best friendships start at a quilting retreat.<br /><br />Quilters Garage Sale <br />We will have a table for you to place quilt related items for sale. You price them and include your name. All items must be taken with you if they don't sell. (Judy Clare has a set of Red Snappers to sell for $25. She will bring them if someone might be interested.)<br /><br />Directory<br />I'm putting together a directory which will include: name, address, phone, email. If you do NOT want your information published, please let me know by <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1366_com_zimbra_date"><span color="#005a95" data-mce-style="color: #005a95;" style="color: #005a95;">May 1st</span></span>. If your information has changed from last year or there was an error in the directory last year, let me know that also.<br /><br />Arrival/Departure Time<br />The retreat begins at 11:00 am on Thursday, <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1367_com_zimbra_date"><span color="#005a95" data-mce-style="color: #005a95;" style="color: #005a95;">May 17</span></span>. The doors will be open by 11:00 am, but may be open earlier if we are done with setup. <br />Checkout time on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1368_com_zimbra_date"><span color="#005a95" data-mce-style="color: #005a95;" style="color: #005a95;">Sunday</span></span> is 11:00 am and we must be out of the sewing room by 11:00 am also. <br /><br />Room Setup<br />The room will be setup much like the Fall retreats as we have 70 quilters attending. Each quilter will have an 8' table. (You may bring your small sewing table.) There will be several ironing stations around the room, so it isn't necessary to bring an iron, although you may if you wish. We tend to trip circuit breakers if we have too many irons. The Farmstead Inn provides us with extension cords, surge protectors, a waste basket and chair at each table. I prefer to bring my own chair with wheels. If you are not flying in and have room it's a good idea.<br /><br />Show & Tell<br />I expect everyone to participate in <strong>Introductions on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1369_com_zimbra_date"><span color="#005a95" data-mce-style="color: #005a95;" style="color: #005a95;">Thursday</span></span> night at 7:30</strong> and we will have <strong><span style="color: black;">Show & Tell on</span> <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1370_com_zimbra_date"><span color="#005a95" data-mce-style="color: #005a95;" style="color: #005a95;">Friday</span></span> and <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1371_com_zimbra_date"><span color="#005a95" data-mce-style="color: #005a95;" style="color: #005a95;">Saturday</span></span> nights at around 7:30-8:00</strong>, with group pictures immediately following on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1372_com_zimbra_date"><span color="#005a95" data-mce-style="color: #005a95;" style="color: #005a95;">Saturday</span></span>. Your Show and Tell does not have to be made at the retreat. You may bring other projects to show. How about bringing a project you started at a previous retreat? These are the only scheduled events at the retreat.<br /><br />Breakfast<br />A nice continental breakfast is served each morning in the dining area. Your other meals are on your own and there are lots of possibilities to choose from.<br /><br />Drinks and Snacks<br />Coffee is provided in our kitchen area and also a couple other locations at the Farmstead Inn. We will have soft drinks, water and ice available. You may bring a snack to share, but no crock pots, please. There is very limited mini-fridge space. Paper plates, napkins and silverware will be provided. The Farmstead Inn is smoke-free and alcohol-free. Any room with evidence is considered in violation of this policy and will be charged and additional $150.<br /><br />To commemorate our this years retreat you may purchase a pin or charm. See attachment for details. <br />Pin: $4 - 3/4" pin with a 2018 quilt block<br />Charm: $4 - 1/2" charm with a 2018 quilt block<br />If you would like to place an order for one of these items, let me know by <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT1373_com_zimbra_date"><span color="#005a95" data-mce-style="color: #005a95;" style="color: #005a95;">May 1st</span></span>.</div>
<div>
I'm still working on shirts, bags and mugs.<br /><br />If this is your first retreat at the Farmstead Inn, you will pull into the drive and continue around the building to the back side. Enter at the Conference Center entrance and we will have luggage carts at the doors for your convenience. The guest rooms will not be available until 3:00 pm. <br /><br /><strong>If you have a friend attending that does not have email, please share this with them.</strong><br />Any other questions, please let me know. </div>

Decided to post while I was here.<br />
<br />
What's new?<br />
<br />
I have a new website, created by me and Go Daddy's Website Builder. My old website was done by my husband using Front Page. Boy was that a long time ago. Ruthies Quilting celebrated 10 years last July. I should add up how many quilts have been quilted on Mabel. Last year was around 270.<br />
<br />
This past week at Ruthie's Quilting:<br />

I made this quilt for Craftsy and I love how it turned out. It went together perfectly and I have already gone through my batik totes to pick out the 16 FQs to cut up and take to my retreat March 1.<br />
<br />
I quilted this for Debbie this week. The backing was a thick furry purple. I failed to get a pic of the back, but it looked awesome with the Ripples quilting.<br />

If I had known how much work and how expensive the foam is, I would have given them a Lowe's gift card.<br />
Here's one seat pad. I have 7 more of these and 8 seat backs, and a love seat pad and 2 backs.<br />

I'm using all solids in my quilt, leftovers from Amish With a Twist, remember? Well, Pat used a stripe and a check, which she added to her mix of fabrics and suggested everyone do. I'm one to follow directions, ha-ha, so I made two blocks today, one with stripes and one with solids.<br />

When I saw the first post about it, I was thinking of the shoe tote with Amish With A Twist leftovers. I took these fabrics to Butler with me for Crazy Mom's workshop but changed my mind and used the Scrap Bag Challenge fabrics.<br />

<br />
My Grandparents lived in Green Bay, WI and we only visited a few times each year, usually holidays. I don't ever remember them coming to Indiana, but they may have. Grandma's house was spotless. "A place for everything and everything in it's place" was her motto. I actually lived with them for a month in the second grade while my mom was in the hospital. My job each week was to dust the baseboards. I don't recall my mother dusting the baseboards weekly, but again, maybe I just don't remember. <br />
<br />
Another funny memory was at holiday dinners, all 6 of my girl cousins and I ate in our slips. Our fancy dresses were removed and a napkin was tucked into our slips. I'll have to see if I have any photos of those dinners.<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to my block.<br />
Solid fabrics make the neatest, crispest blocks. I'm pretty happy with my first block.<br />

I used to read her blog faithfully, but I haven't been doing much blog reading lately. Facebook seems to take my online time. Maybe I will get back into the <br />
swing of things. Anyway back to the workshop.<br />
<br />
We were required to have the book "<a href="http://crazymomquilts.bigcartel.com/product/no-scrap-left-behind-book">No Scrap Left Behind</a>". There are several quilts that I would be interested in making but I couldn't decide which one. I actually took along leftovers from <a href="http://threadsofmine.blogspot.com/search?q=matt">Matt's quilt</a> that are all browns tans and creams, the leftovers from Amish with a twist three, and I also took a bag of scraps that I got from our local quilts for kids scrap bag challenge. This was a grocery bag with scraps to use to make a quilt.<br />
<br />
After seeing Amanda's quilts I decided to go with the Scrap Bag Challenge. Here are some of my scraps cut into strips.<br />

Here are the blocks in the pattern layout. We were trying to decide what color to make the big blocks and Terry suggested Spring Green. The day went by really fast and before long it was time to pack up and go home.<br />

That night I was showing my husband the blocks and I was looking for a fabric with polkadots on it for the small squares. In my polkadot drawer and there was this pink and brown fabric and he said that's the one you need to use for the big squares. I found another with bigger circles that I fussy cut for the small squares.<br />

I quilted it and then asked for his opinion on the binding. LOL. He's pretty good with picking out colors. Since there's so much pink in this quilt we actually decided on a pink binding.<br />
<br />
And I'm handstitching that down now.<br />

Wednesday evening was Common Threads guild meeting with a program by Margie Towry, one of the founding members of the guild. She hasn't belonged for years but does beautiful appliqué.<br />
<br />
Thursday evening was the Blue Star Mothers meeting. Always a good time planning how we can help our deployed troops.Ruthiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15744233853054029510noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186073583006009149.post-16901080361975994832017-02-14T23:42:00.001-05:002017-02-14T23:42:20.073-05:00Beat the Blues Day 14This was a busy day, quilting and otherwise. I loaded Mary's Buffalo Bubblegum quilt and started quilting first thing. This one got custom quilting. Something I don't do very much of. I had a good start on it and took a break to browse a Facebook. There was a post on Jamie Wallens page and in the comments he was talking about doing all the SID first. I was still towards the top of the quilt, so that changed plans and did just that.<br />
<br />
I can't wait till tomorrow t take a full photo of this one.<br />

I got a haircut today, got some healthy groceries and even cut some squares out of some more scraps. Oh, and it is Valentines day so we had a nice dinner along with a glass of win for me.Ruthiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15744233853054029510noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186073583006009149.post-33361092577958401642017-02-13T20:55:00.002-05:002017-02-13T20:55:51.681-05:00Beat the Blues Days 12 & 13Yesterday I tackled a scrap bag.

I cut many strips, 2.5", 2", and 1.5" and have several piles to cut squares. If you do this, at what length do you just cut squares?<br />
<br />
Janet bought me this 2.5" strip holder last year. I wonder if they make them for narrower strips?<br />

I stared at Mary's Buffalo Bubblegum quilt to figure out a quilting plan. I finally gave up and this morning I got Loretta's quilt ready to load.<br />
<br />
Today I packed up my sewing machine and spent the day with Quilters United. We make quilts for several different organizations. I put binding on these 4 today. Yes, two are the same. They will likely go to the Peyton Manning Children's hospital in Indy.<br />

It is 67 x 90 so I think I'll Quilt it and call it done.<br />
<br />
I completed step 1 of a <a href="http://2017qovmystery.weebly.com/">QOV mystery quilt</a>. Loaded a customer quilt and did one row of quilting.<br />
<br />
I also cut about 4" stack of light and dark triangles for hourglass blocks for my leader/ender quilt.<br />
