It's been, well, like FOREVER - a year exactly, since I've blogged. But this is my birthday weekend and I thought there's no better time to start again.<br />
<br />
So much life going on! We moved into our new home, I got to stand on the floor of the NYSE as my husband stood on the balcony to help ring the bell for his company, we celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary in Aruba, our dog went through 15 weeks of cancer treatments, my brother ended up on the hospital for about 3 months, and so much more all in 12 months; but guess what? During all that, my Botanical Quilt, from the VA Quilt Museum sew along, was on Display at the VA Quilt Museum AND travelled all the way to Houston, TX for the 2018 International Quilt Festival. There is much to be thankful for during so much craziness.<br />
<br />

She's back home now and I'm working on new treasures. During the last part of 2018, I got hooked on Instagram Swaps. Since 2019 started, I'm currently working on 3 swaps! I have no idea what I was thinking - HAHAHA; all I know is I've met super creative and friendly people and I love my instragram quilting family.<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

This is my second year using the Quilter’s Planner and it actually holds me a little, not a lot, accountable for projects I’m working on. It’s bascially a franklin planner on steroids and I love it. There’s inspirational quotes and an online community of really creative users. I hope to get to a point where I finish more projects than add to the list one day. Am I the only one distracted by shiny new projects? </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided to do the BOM with other QP community members and am using my highly coveted VAN GOGH fabric! I’m obsessed with Van Gogh and visiting the actual museum (<a href="https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en">https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en</a>) is definitely on my bucket list.</div>

When I found this fairy fabric, I decided I HAD to start incorporating into this quilt. This one sort of looks like she flew through the flowers and landed on that little perch as if it were a game of some sort. </span><br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">I joined the Ornament Girls Club about a year ago and I love all the kits that come each month. <a href="http://theornamentgirl.com/blog/about-the-ornament-girl/" target="_blank">Staci Ann Lowry</a> puts a lot of time and creativity into each of these kits and I love them all!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #1d2129;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">If you aren't familiar with the Ornament girl, here is the link to her website: </span></span><a href="http://theornamentgirl.com/blog/">http://theornamentgirl.com/blog/</a> - Check it out!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You don't have to be a member of her club to download patterns or order kits and she has a lot of other craft ideas on her site as well. I'm so excited I can barely contain myself! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This month's SVBAQ block was Moolon Lily. Honestly, I'm not sure what a "moolon lily" is, so I performed many types of searches to see if I could uncover any information....I was not lucky in my discovery searches, so the mystery remains.</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-5555907212352949315" itemprop="articleBody" style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 520px;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My entire quilt is being sewn using batiks and I decided to make the leaves on this block both green and blue for a different look. I am still practicing my needle turn applique; I'll perfect it one day. This block was all hand sewn.</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-5555907212352949315" itemprop="articleBody" style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 520px;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So how do you all determine how long one block takes to sew? I estimated this block was 3 days to complete. Not 3 consecutive days, but say I start sewing at 7PM and don't finish an area until about 2AM; then pick it up from 10AM to 3PM and so on...and in between do the laundry, vacuum, clean the dishes, etc. I mean...I guess I just sew really slow.. HAHAH</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Funniest thing I heard while sewing this block...That looks so easy, you'll be done with that by the end of the day, right? (side ways look.....Probably NOT)</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-5555907212352949315" itemprop="articleBody" style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 520px;">

I do have a lot of catching up to do, but did want to share this cute little SUNFLOWER block. It was from June. Because I don't have enough things going on, and I have a bunch of blocks to catch up on, I all of sudden decided to hide little items in all the blocks. I started designing the label already, which will have a sort of scavenger hunt feel to it. Silly? Yes, but YOLO!! :-)</div>

This is the final block for my Guild for this season. It's almost June and I was thinking people must have a good collection of scraps, I know I do! This pattern is super simple to put together. I didn't color coordinate, I just pulled 9 scraps out of my bin, made sure they were large enough, and created this block.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is a 10.5" UNFINISHED Block.</div>

I'm wondering if I can do a scrap buster quilt by randomly selecting scraps and sewing together different ways? I know there's tons of patterns out there, but maybe I'll just wing it and see how it comes together. Who knows...maybe there will be a scrappy wacky quilt in my future.<br />

You might be wondering what happened to <strong>Month 2</strong>! Well, let's just say I have misplaced the craft box that holds my enlarged month 2 pattern and all my cut outs; I've searched high and low..(sigh). So... for month 2 I'll have to go get my page re-enlarged at Staples and start that one over. </span></span></div>

The not so great news is that I was in a hurry and I actually did this block <u>BACKWARD</u>. I didn't panic - after a few deep breaths that is. Those that have done this one know there are many pieces. I decided to just go with it and slightly modify what I had; I tried to get it as close as possible. I figured it's December, I should really be focused on family and the reason for the season so I wasn't going to give up or worry about the quilt police with this one. I'll call this my persistence block - ho ho ho....</span></span></div>

There are 4 more Tuffet-teers in the Northern VA area! Kelly Ann's Quilting in Warrenton, VA hosted this class and they ladies were truly delightful.</div>
<br />
Below is a quick little video and some pics from this class.<br />

As always, I can't explain the joy and excitement felt when a student works so hard to complete one of these Tuffets. It's fun, easy once you have the instruction, and truly one of a kind.<br />

I had to share the outcome of today's TUFFET 101 class that I taught at <a href="https://www.ohsewpersnickety.com/" target="_blank">Oh Sew Persnickety</a> in Haymarket, VA. There were 5 students and they each created their own masterpiece. </div><br />

I can't explain the joy and excitement I feel when a student works so hard to complete one of these Tuffets. It's fun, easy once you have the instruction, and truly one of a kind.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>A Dream Come True </strong>(Letter from North Carolina, March 1933)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>I have actually been to NC several times! My dad grew up there, I have fond memories of spending summers at the beaches, and Kent & I had an anniversary celebration at the Biltmore Estate Inn; so many times I can't seem to recall them all.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

This letter made me smile as I read it. I mean, I never played in church or at weddings, but I did teach myself to play to the piano and I could play Christmas music pretty good! I grew up singing in a choir, either at church, at school, or just to my imaginary audience in our basement; so I have always loved music.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When she spoke of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", it brought back memories of many nights studying for my degree! I seemed to study and retain information best when I'm listening to classical music.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of my favorite memories were from high school, when our music teacher would take us to the Kennedy Center for a field trip; I could sit and listen / watch the musicians for hours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><u>What's Happening Today?...</u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>The SUN came out and I was so confused I had to go out and just stare up at the sky! It had been dark, cold and rainy for so many days it was becoming a bit dreary.</li>
<li>I was sad to learn that our baseball team (The Washington Nationals) fired the entire coaching staff today! Honestly, it was pretty sad.</li>
<li>We had pizza burgers for dinner; prepared in the crock pot and delicious....</li>
</ul>
</div>
<br />
Until the next block!<br />
Happy Sewing. :-)<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This month we were instructed to prepare three <strong>Pineapple blocks</strong>. Pineapples are known for hospitality and to let others know they are welcome. What a great block to start this adventure with; I mean everyone is welcome to purchase the pattern from the museum and everyone is welcome to sew along each month to recreate this 1858 quilt! Happy quilting...</span></div>

<br />
It was a pleasant surprise when another block was posted so soon after the first 2! It's Saturday morning, still dark and rainy, so it was the perfect time to conquer this block.<br />
<br />
This block was name just for me!! I'm an Aunt! hahah; I know there are a bunch of "aunts" out there, but I love all my nieces and nephews a bunch and now they are starting their own families. I still see them all as young kiddos learning about the world but reality is they are all grown up teaching me things! :-)<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">

<br />
My thoughts on her letter was really to take one day at a time. How many times did you hear your parents, an adult, that little voice in your head, or spiritual leader say that?! I've probably heard it a million times. Do we really take one day at a time? Is that even possible?<br />
<br />
Personally, I KNOW I should live for today, get done what I can and tomorrow will take care of itself but it's difficult in these times (2015) not to prepare for tomorrow. I mean there's a lot to think of and worry about these days and if you don't think ahead you'll be unprepared and left behind.<br />
<br />
It's almost like a riddle, making me chuckle a little.<br />
<br />
Is there anyone that truly lives solely in the PRESENT day, not thinking of tomorrow? I was raised hearing to prepare for the future, your actions today will make you who you are tomorrow, BUT not to let your past define your future, and of course "there's always tomorrow". <br />
<br />
Honestly, this was a short note to the editor, however is actually a deep subject that I am sure could generate long, thoughtful discussions.<br />
<br />
So, until the next letter and block, I'll leave stating that I will TRY to remember to enjoy the day I am living at the moment and not focus so much on the what ifs of tomorrow, BUT I know that I am prone to always think ahead, so how about I'll just TRY...(chuckle)<br />

<strong><u>What's Happening Today?...</u></strong><br />
With all the local wineries being overcrowded today, we found ourselves at a little place called Upper Crust in Middleburg, VA. It was a bakery / deli and nice find on our way home. Once home, we decided to watch PITCH PERFECT 2 on demand and settle in for the day. I was in choir and madrigals from 5th grade until I graduated HS, so I'm drawn to any tv show or movie with singing. Singing is good for the soul.<br />
<br />
The final song of the movie was Flashlight and it sort of reminded me of this sew along and many other things in life. You can do good things on your own, but when you embrace everyone's uniqueness and strengths throughout all generations you can accomplish great things. (SPOILERS - in the movie it was the current group, along with the former Bardon Bella Alumni singing together that took them to a win)<br />
<br />
Here's to everyone being at least one person's Flashlight along this journey we call life...<br />

<br />
Why not start ANOTHER project? I joined the 1930's Farmer's Wife Sew Along. This will be my first real patriotic quilt. I'll try to post pictures of all my blocks along with corresponding letters as they would be relevant today or based on what's going on at the moment.<br />
<br />
This is a sampler quilt based on inspiring letters to the Farmer's Wife Magazine from farm women of the Great Depression. The former Farmer's Wife Magazine is now known as the Farm Journal.<br />
<br />
This is the first week and the assigned blocks are #12 Becky and #16 Bonnie.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<u>#12 BECKY</u></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The heading for this block was: <strong>Quit Merely Existing </strong>(Letter from Nebraska, March 1934)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>I have never been to Nebraska. </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like her title, many days it seems like I'm going through life just existing, worrying about the state of our country, bills, losing weight, washing clothes, straightening the house, what's for dinner, worrying about where I'll be in the next 10 years and so on (you get the idea)...Well, I don't always just worry about getting through the day, month, or year (ok, well maybe I do), but I do try hard to ensure that those close to me know that I care about them and am thankful for their love, time, and experiences we share. I think my biggest fear would be to exist without my spouse, I mean no relationship is perfect, but I really try to ensure he knows how deeply I love him.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My favorite thing is the smell of fresh cut grass, and all the silly things that my spouse does to make me smile; I actually pause to enjoy the sunrise or sunset and watch how it interacts with the clouds. Some days I just sit on my front porch and listen to the water fountain. Basically, as I get older I really try to appreciate things that would normally have gone unnoticed growing up; for instance, as I was driving today I noticed that someone had placed a blue bird cut out on a rail fence and had the flag flying next to it - it was just a farm along a road in the middle of nowhere, but it was a pleasant sight. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If it's just a cup of coffee or the entire day, take a moment to really live, do something out of your normal routine, and maybe you'll find an energized heart and a quick smile...</div>

<u>#16 BONNIE</u></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The heading for this block was: <strong>Rain for the Soul </strong>(Letter from South Dakota, June 1934)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>I have never been to South Dakota.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's interesting that I assembled this block today, it's POURING down rain and I think it's suppose to rain for a few days. Fall just began and it's a transition time with rain, wind, cooler mornings, leaves trying to change, some leaves not knowing what season it is and just falling from the trees...it's a time where things die off and the scenery changes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My take away from this letter is the same from this woman back in June of 1934 - "Only faith in God and a strong determination to look for the good side and wish everyone well has kept the soul from becoming a heap of dust." -excerpt from Farmers Wife 1930's book.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although times may be difficult and there appears no relief, stop and look for the good in even the worst things is all we can try to do. I mean there must be a reason we get a flat tire the very day we can't be late for something, right? :-)</div>

====================</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><em>Happening right now (9/29/2015):</em></strong> The iHeart Radio Music Festival is on TV and most of the music is good; well it's good background noise anyway, however I have to say... announcing Kayne West as the next President of the United States really makes me take pause as to where this country is headed. It's become a country that doesn't care much for patriotism, fiscal responsibility, and being a community; it's turned into special interest groups, ever raising taxes, greed, and singers thinking they know how to run an entire country. My heart is heavy with sadness for this country and I am praying that this sew along and the use of patriotic fabrics will be my positive productive therapy; keep me grounded.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I pray common sense will prevail. I am especially thankful I am able to budget for fabrics and enjoy this creative community of wonderful quilters!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have a blessed week!</div>

I play the lottery every week and although I haven't won yet, I'm going to hit the big one someday soon! This isn't about winning the latest lottery for millions of dollars, but it is a post about winning the lottery of a completely different nature.</div>

Not too long ago, a friend and I went to visit Melissa at the Quilts of Honor booth at the Prince William County Fair. I bought a few raffle tickets knowing I probably wouldn't win, but the $$ was going towards a good cause. This group relies on donations to obtain fabric, batting, and quilting for quilts to provide to veterans and the piecing is all done by volunteers. A LOT OF LOVE GOES INTO MAKING EACH ONE....</div>

(I'm most familiar with the East Coast Quilts of Honor; to contact them,<a href="mailto:Melissa@capitolchocolatefountains.com" target="_blank"> click here</a>)</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px;">The mission of Quilts of Honor is to bestow a universal symbol and token of thanks, solace, and remembrance to those who serve in harm's way to protect and defend our lives and freedoms. Quilts of Honor are made by the loving hands of countless volunteers who wish to thank those who have served so that they know their sacrifices are appreciated.</span></div>

Well, one day I received a message that I WON a set of yankee candles. You're probably thinking candles aren't really that big of a deal, right? First of all, I was so dog gone tickled I won anything, it could have been a roll of TP! But seriously, when I realized what these candles represent, I really think I won the jackpot!!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">

These aren't just any Yankee Candles, they were designed by a local artist, Gabby of <a href="http://homefrontgirl.com/" target="_blank">HomeFront Girl</a>.</div>

Thinking of my dad, my father in law, my nephew, veterans, all those currently serving in the military and their families and friends that support them. Take a moment today to reflect on what you're thankful for...<br />

That's what is chanted at the Washington Nationals baseball stadium when they want the crowd to cheer on the team to a win. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We've been going to the new stadium since 2008 and I've even considered looking for a small condo there since we have season tickets for the next few years.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My love for baseball inspired this latest tuffet. Ode to the Nats...</div>

Look for classes coming to a local quilt shop or guild near you! You can also inform your LQS you REALLY want to make one of these. If you happen to mention my email info to them (bogeyinspired@gmail.com), well I would be tickled pink and be very appreciative.</div>
