The beginning of 2014 was incredibly busy for us; it included 4 quilt
show vendor booths in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina, and a move to
a new and smaller house. New house as in new-to-us, and a comfortable
1968 jem.<br />

We haven't been able to dye much fabric so far, but this house came with
the perfect dye set up! I'm using the indoor dye room with a tile
floor, back yard access, and deep sink while Bill has made himself and
his "guy things" at home in the basement and shed.<br />

We've produced about 40 yards of dyed fabric so far and the dye tubs are

A couple of months ago my friend Mary Ann made a beautiful infinity scarf for me using Valorie Wells' and Free Spirit's "Wish" knit fabrics. <br />

Today Mary Ann made another scarf for me from this blue pattern. Lots of infinity scarf patterns can be found online. These are great for holiday gifts and only take about 1/2 hour to make! Here's how she did it:<br />
<br />
Cut a 9" x by 54" piece of knit fabric, then fold it in half, lengthwise, with right sides together. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Leaving a 3" opening at the beginning and end, sew along the long edge of the scarf using a knit machine needle and a walking foot, if desired, to control the fabric. Mary Ann used a 1/4" foot and a Universal needle for this easy-to-manage knit fabric. <br />
<br />

<br />
Here's the trick: put your hand in one end of the "tube" you've made and and bring the other end of the tube inside and back to where your hand is. This will leave your ends with right sides together. Match up the edges (like in the photo below) and sew that seam at the edge with a 1/4" seam. Note: There will still be an opening for turning.<br />
<br />

Through the opening, turn your scarf right sides out. It should look like this when you are done, with the scarf shaped like a circle.<br />

<br />
Press the scarf so that it will lay nicely, and then stitch up the opening with needle and thread.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's the finished product! Isn't it beautiful on Mary Ann? She made one for herself, too, and it's perfect with the outfit she's wearing today, yes?<br />

It's so easy to do and so fast compared to any other basting method I've used before. The method was developed by Patsy Thompson, machine quilting guru. Here's a link to Patsy's wall spray basting technique:<br />

Lori and Stacy's quilts are lovely and they are both ready for machine quilting!<br />

We were first-time vendors at the Jacksonville QuiltFest Show this
weekend. It was the best quilt show I had seen in quite a while. The
quilts were of high quality with fine workmanship and there was a nice
variety of quilt styles--traditional, modern, fiber art and miniature. <br />
<br />
These were my favorites:<br />
<br />
(The artist's name and quilt information is with each set of photos)<br />

This quilt was outstanding and it was my overall favorite of the show.
This piece did not win a ribbon, but a similar quilt by the same artist
(shown at the bottom of this page) won a ribbon.<br />

The owl wall hanging below was Bill's favorite piece and I loved it
too. The wings had, I believe, actual owl feathers. Wonderful!<br />

Patricia Styring's smaller quilt, below, won a ribbon. Her style is
quite appealing and her quilts give the viewer plenty of eye candy to

As a business woman I have crossed a line between working on Quick Books all the time and learning it enough to actually have some time to sew too! Let's give a big hooray! </div>

Seems like ages since I posted last. This broken ankle is finally healing and I'm getting back to most of my old routines. It will take four more weeks to get back to 100% function. Can't wait for that!<br />
<br />
Here are a few quilts that have been made recently for the store and for our home.<br />
<br />
Joyce made this store sample from the pattern "Just Can't Cut It" ... <br />

The next piece was made from a fabric from Nairobi, Kenya. Marybeth from <a href="http://www.cambridgelane.com/" target="_blank">Cambridge Lane</a> quilted it for us and it now hangs in our house...<br />

Last, but not least, is my "Wildflower Garden" piece--hand-dyed by me and quilted by Marybeth. We won an Honorable Mention ribbon for it this month.<br />

I've been sewing this weekend after a long hiatus. Owning a first-year quilt store has put a bit of a cramp in my sewing schedule, but my broken ankle made that worse. At last, I have a cast that can come off and I can use that foot to drive my car and sewing machine again. Woohoo!<br />
<br />
I'm using a Tonga Treat 5" Mini pre-cut batik set to make a sample for
Sewcial Studio. My inspiration came from the Summer 2012 issue of
Generation Q Magazine. Click <a href="http://generationqmagazine.com/mod-chevron-baby-quilt/" target="_blank">here</a> for a link to the pattern. Their pattern uses 7 1/2" blocks, but mine will be smaller.<br />
<br />
Here's what's on my makeshift design wall... <br />

Bill had surgery a
couple of weeks ago and the day after he got out of the hospital, I
fell and broke my ankle. Bill is healing slowly, but it will be January
before he's back to his old self. I'll be in a cast for at least 12
weeks. Oy, oy.<br />
<br />
It's not exactly what we had hoped
for since our two sons and Bill's sister will arrive soon for the
holidays, but we're making lemonade out of lemons! We're both nicely
rested up for visitors, and friends have been wonderfully kind and
helpful.<br />

Joyce,
Marybeth and Mary Ann have been running Sewcial Studio when Bill can't
be there. Next week I hope to be able to work in the shop again with a
handsome chauffeur to get me there. (Right ankle = no driving) <br />
<br />
I've been able to do a little work on the quilt book I'm writing, and I'm working on this store sample project at home...<br />

The
magazine is the first or second issue of Generation Q, and this is a
lovely, modern baby quilt (photo on right page of mag.). I'm using a
mini-Tonga set of 5" batik squares and a light taupe background fabric
from Northcott. <br />
<br />
Earlier this month, Marybeth and I
handed over an indigo commission quilt that we worked on together. This
photo was taken before it was quilted...<br />

The indigo colors are much prettier in person.<br />
<br />
All the best to you and yours during this holiday season. May you be rested and may your home be warmed by friends and family.<br />

It's that time again...Black Friday, when stores are stocked and waiting for us to visit. I'm not one to shop at 4:00 am for a deal but this morning I was tempted since there was a $200 Janome sewing machine on sale for $79 before 9:00 am and $99 after 9:00. <br />
<br />
Alas, I already have 6 machines and 4 of those are sewing machines. It's time to pass on one of these machines, so if you know of anyone near Athens, GA who needs a machine, please let me know. The one I'm offering works well and is in very good condition, but it's not electronic and needs oiling regularly (I can give instruction if necessary).<br />
<br />
We did some holiday decorating at Sewcial Studio this week with gold garland and holly berries from our trees. I also rearranged the hand-dyed fabric case...<br />

We had lots of curtain spring rods from our house in Florida and they came in handy for displaying the fabric. Looks much better than the towers of stacked fabric I had last week.<br />

Can't see the garland too well, but it's there. We also put all of our quilt patterns in one rack (left in photo). I just love rearranging and making things more efficient!<br />
<br />
Enjoy your long weekend!<br />

I'm sitting today in my lovely studio with soft music playing and plenty of fun things to do. I have a commission quilt in progress, plans in my head for holiday decorating, some beading ideas, and new ideas for quilts (modern and other). <br />
<br />
Yesterday I made a new curtain for my eyesore broom closet out of a hand dyed fabric and a lovely Northcott fabric...<br />

It's not exactly a "closet"; it's more of wasted corner space that I have made into a useful space. Bill cut a dowel long enough to hold the curtain and it sits on top of the fabric shelves.<br />
<br />
Bill made this great shelf for holding more fabric bolts. It sits under the cutting table and it's the first thing folks see when they walk in the door. <br />

These are made with dress shirts! Laurel turns re-usabe fabric into lovely items; she also does alterations, makes quilts, re-covers cushions and much more.<br />
<br />
It's inspiring to have so many creative folks around us.<br />

This week I've been putting together an indigo quilt with some of my
hand-dyed fabric and favorite Indonesian and Japanese indigo fabrics. <a href="http://cambridgelane.com/" target="_blank">Marybeth Tawfik</a>
quilted it yesterday and today I'm sewing on the binding. The happy
couple is getting married Sunday and I was trying to make a gift that
would not be too manly and not too girly.<br />

This week we sent an application to be vendors at the <a href="http://www.quiltersguildofdallas.org/" target="_blank">Dallas Quilt Show</a> in March of 2013. Let's hope that they send a quick response, as I'm very excited about seeing that show!<br />
<br />
Sewcial Studio received several boxes of new fabric this week, like these reds & blacks (UGA colors)...<br />

But the best box of all held fabrics that I have dreamed about for years

silky slightly thinner than traditional quilting cotton. It is heaven

Time to work on some details of a new online store for our website...<br />

It's sewing time! Can't you feel it in the air? Our sewing machines are ready to come out of summer stagnation. <br />
<br />
Every year I go through a down-time with my machine. We get tired of each other and take a break for a while. I suppose it happens to most sewists who sew regularly. The beginning of autumn each year is the signal for me to start sewing again, and true to tradition, my machine is into action.<br />
<br />
Last week I started a modern quilt to show off one of the fabrics in the shop that no one seems to notice. Isn't this bird fabric adorable?<br />

I've also got a wedding gift in the making (which I can't show yet), a line-up of machine quilting projects, and a Burmese silk that's waiting to become a pair of pants...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="Patterns- Sewing Workshop Collection Plaza Jacket & Pant" height="320" id="product_thumbnail" src="http://www.voguefabricsstore.com/images/P/SWC-Plaza-front-1.jpg" width="257" />Love this pattern. I've made the jacket 2 or 3 times and the pants twice so far. The pants have elastic 2/3 of the way around, but with a flat front. One of the seams goes right down the front with interesting detail. This pattern needs a lightweight fabric, so the Burmese silk is perfect. <br />
<br />
I'm really enjoying our Sewcial Studio classroom as a sewing studio.<br />

It has been ages since I posted. What's been happening? Life, and lots of it...the good kind. <br />
<br />
In July we took an epic (for us) vacation/business trip to a state I've been wanting to visit for a long time--Colorado. We planned the trip around the 2012 Quilt Colorado show, so we packed up our SUV and trailer and headed out with vendor booth items in tow.<br />
<br />
Great show, then a trip through the Rockies to the "Western Slope" to see friends; down to New Mexico to visit our son Darrell during his Birthday week and then we headed home with one stop to see my friend Dorothy.<br />

So, we decided to continue down the road to visit Whittier, AK and possibly hop on a tour boat there. The only way to get to Whittier was by boat or through this 2+ mile tunnel... hmmm<br />

This has been a wonderful trip. The people of Alaska are warm and friendly, and Anchorage is a beautiful city.<br />
<br />
We'll be flying home during the night tonight and will try to get back onto our regular sleeping schedule. Having spent days in so much sunlight, it will be nice to see the stars again. <br />
<br />
Alaska, you are beautiful and we will be back. <br />

Okay, our first morning in Alaska and we had a little earthquake! 4.7, just a baby (YIPES!!!)<br />
<br />
Bryan looks wonderful and he loves Anchorage. Forgot to get a photo of him after a long day of travel, but we'll be seeing him at his new summer job this afternoon at the Anchorage Welcome Center. Anyone who knows Bryan knows that a "talking" job is right up his alley. : )<br />

We were surprised to find that Anchorage is very much like the cities we visited in Germany--very clean, very well planned, full of art and interesting sights. We walked over to Humpy's for dinner last night--wild Alaskan cod, yummmmm.<br />
<br />
This morning the sun came up on the same side of the building as the sunset last night. Hmm It might have gotten dark sometime in the night, but we didn't see any of it. Supposedly it got dark after 11:30pm, but when I woke up at 3:45 it was light again, haha. So cool.<br />
<br />
More later <br />

Ah, it's Sunday and Mother's Day; a day of rest--just what I needed after this last hectic month. <br />
<br />
We opened <i>Sew</i>cial Studio sewing and quilt shop in mid-April and have been receiving fabric regularly; I'm also slowly learning QuickBooks for the business. Two weeks ago I was at the Sew Free Retreat for 5 days as a vendor, then we were off to Mobile, AL and the Azalea City Quilt Guild to give a program and workshop this week. Whew!<br />
<br />
On Tuesday morning our house-sitter arrives and we are off to ALASKA for 8 glorious days! Our younger son (the former soldier) has lived in Anchorage for a year and has just finished his first year at the University of Alaska. The laptop is going with us, so I plan to post some photos. <br />
<br />
For now, here are a few photos of fabrics we received this week and a sample made by Catherine Hart for the store...<br />

I've been edging hand-dyed table runners with the serger, dyeing wool roving, knitting, playing with fabric & hanging out with my DH. The Quilting Arts Alliance ladies came to the shop on Wednesday. There was paperwork and & chores in there too, but let's not think about that.<br />
