I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

Tribblemom, I enjoyed the link. After I built my 30'x50' studio next to my home my Grandkids called it "Grandma's Playhouse"! It set a whole new standard with the men in the area. Since then none have thought about building a shop any smaller!
Lois, your slip overs are beautiful. I love crab cakes. A restaurant on the pier in Santa Barbara also makes very yummy ones.
Anne, I am so pleased to know Van Morrison was Knighted. I have always thought I was blessed to grow up on the coast of California in the sixties where all the great musicians came to play! I tried to see them all! Music is such an important part of life. One song can bring back so many memories.
Rehak, I so envy you your Kansas Quilt show classes and lunch. I learned so much making Janet Stone's alphabet quilt last year. It is on a design wall awaiting it's turn to be quilted. Actually, I have been drawing quilting ideas and working up my quilting nerve! Jacquie Gehring's pattern inspired me to dye the color wheel. I was fairly happy with the results. Not pleased with my purples so I used a few store bought purples. The solid colors were my only dyed colors - the rest are store bought.

Susan,
Totally love the colors in these two quilts. If I drove all the way to your house Susan, I would have a color filled experience for sure! And do tell about those little pieces that are peaking out from under in the second picture. Glad to have you pop in and out as your days allow.
By the way, I have studio envy! I would be happy to just have a concrete floor with drain and a sink right now. Course I want AC unit in that area today, we are to reach 99F. I think they know it's going above that but are afraid of saying it so early in the summertime.
May God bless your day with happy memories.
Luann
I just looked at the colors of original pattern for the alphabet quilt. I love that you did all of your letter blocks in B&W they set off all the other colors. Great choice in my humble opinion.

Today I am off to go to a bridal shower in Seattle with my daughter. It's a 3 1/2 hour trip each way. So lots of quality time with her!
I will get to see my nieces over on that side of the state. It should be fun.
Yesterday I spent most of the day in the sewing room. Here's what I got done.
That middle section are finished 1/4" by 2" rectangles. The other pieces are finished, 1"x2", 3/4"x2" and a whopping 1 3/4"x2". After I had gotten a little over half done I went for a walk. My eyes needed a rest!
Have a good day!

Yep - I built a big one. It is probably about the size of my house. I have never measured my house. The studio has 13' high ceiling. I use to work as a multi-media artist. Art tile and sculpture mostly. I worked as an Artist-in-education for about twenty five years. A health issue about four years ago forced me to rethink the materials I played with. Now I am totally focused on fabric and loving every minute!
The pictures peeking out are ones I am working on for an original quilt project. The picture I hope to attach is one of my art tile pieces. I called them "Tile Quilts". At the time I did not even consider sewing a fabric quilt! Now I plan to recreate the piece in fabric.

I used high fire stoneware clay to create the tiles. That means the clay body will not absorb moisture. The glaze is also able to withstand exterior elements. The piece I shared has hung on my carport for about fifteen years. I have other pieces hanging in various locations around my house. The largest tile mural I created was with 7th and 8th grade art students to honor the man their school was named after. It hangs on the side of the outside of the school.

Geneva, beautiful start to your bargello quilt.
Artmomma, Love your tile 'quilt'
Had a good day yesterday, although I didn't buy any fabric for myself :huh: . It started off with buying some waxy fabric crayons for Izzy - she is stronger in the drawing dept. than sewing, so I thought that she could make her drawings onto fabric and then they could be enhanced with stitch/quilting. Then she decided that she wanted to try them out straight away, so I ended up buying a bundle of white Egyptian cotton scraps from Empress Mills for her - Her fabric stash has now officially started :woohoo: :woohoo: These scraps are all reasonable sized pieces, and the quality is lovely - I used this fabric for Caught Red Handed. She also went up to the Regional Chairman to complain that during the introductions of all the different branches attending, that she had been forgottenhmy: , because she is the first ever Young Embroiderer to attend a Regional Day - so this was amended after lunch. When we got home DH had hung the wall units for me, so I have spent part of today dusting off all the box files and magazines that are on the currently installed book shelves and transferring them to the new units for the time being. Then we can take them down and see about getting the other 3 units made and put up. I did think about taking a before photo, but didn't quite get around to it before I started moving things :whistle:
