This week's theme is: TWIN SIZE QUILTS

As I begin to write this post it occurs to me: "I've never made a twin size quilt!"

My daughter and I have starting discussing doing such as her boys get bigger and she moves them into bunk beds. So though I still have a while, it doesn't hurt to start looking for ideas now, right?
This skateboard quilt found at KS Designgirls Blog does inspire me to start collecting some design ideas to share with my daughter and grand guys as they get older.

Tuesday Archives #200: A Give-Away!

Hello! Hello! and Happy Tuesday Archives! 

The linky party that let's you rejuvinate OLD blogging posts.

A little over four years ago, this linky party started.

 When I click back and review our first linky parties, I'm amazed at the variety of topics we have covered. You can check out all our past linky topics right HERE in our Tuesday Archives Directory.

I'm also reflective on how blogging and participation has changed over the years. Participation in our linky party has decreased immensely, mostly from what I have observed to be a parrallel decrease in people who have chosen to continue blogging. But ya know what, I love the opportunity to rejuvinate and visits our old blogging posts. I enjoy the community the few of us continue to maintain with eachother. So let's keep this linky going! 

This week we celebrate our 200th linky party with three opportunities to win 

a $25.00 Gift Certificate to Fat Quarter Club.

1. Share our Tuesday Archives Button on your blog if you haven't already 

and give the ol' linky a "shout out" on your blog and invite your readers to join us.

Comment to let me know you've done so.

2. Share YOUR blog's home page in today's linky party for a 2nd entry. 

Let today's linky gather our blogging community of friends and quilters.

If ya meet someone new, think about "following" their blog.

 

3. Finally, for a third entry, come back and visit eachother's blogs this week 

and comment to let them know how they have inspired you. 

The Give-Away will remain open until I announce the winnner at next week's Tuesday Archives!

This week's theme is: TABLERUNNERS

Three years ago I made my mom this table-runner.

The little wool flowers were fun to stitch and it was quick to put together once I had them finished.

Now that I think about it, I really need to make myself a table-runner.

Happy Tuesday. I'm looking forward to seeing what ya have to share this week.

This week's theme is: QUILT CARE

Happy Tuesday everyone! 

Happy Tuesday everyone. Soooo, I don't pre-wash my fabric. I have never had a problem with uneven fabric shrinkage or colors running. I do however, always use Shout Color Catchers with my first washes. The more the contrast in colors, like this red and black with white quilt pictured above, the more sheets I use. I'll use anywhere from 2-4 sheets depending on the quilt size and quilt colors.

SWAP IS CLOSED.

Tuesday Archives #196: Guess it's time for a break...

Wow! Okay I missed my own linky party. 

Seriously....if that's not a sign I don't what is.

It's May...and May is always full of surprises for a teacher.

Personally, I've been thrown off course this past week.

Too many changes at work and at home...all at the same time.

Nothing bad. But never-the-less change and adjusting to the fact things will be different.

June first I'll also be on summer break...which means yet, another change. 

 I find myself tranquil on my days off as I enjoy mornings of movie watching, afternoon walks, and evenings sitting on the patio with a glass of wine having BBQ dinners with my hubby. No sewing. 

See...all good, but sometimes it just takes time to find your balance of things once again.  Butttt....

while establishing new routines, I did randomly finish my sixth stash busting project for the year.

Another square in a square quilt as I de-stashed a cute little bundle of fat quarters:

This finished as a 36"x 48" quilt top that I'll complete into a cute little baby stash quilt. 

And right when I thought my Mother's Day Weekend would be spent alone (due to the change in my husband's work schedule) I was completely surprised by a visit from our two very favorite little people in the world! I truly had what I would describe as a "perfect day".

Our new grand guy is a very happy six month old.

And I spent the entire morning "playing" with this special guy.

I biked as he enjoyed his new "Spiderman" scooter...endlessly. 

We talked. We shared. We laughed. We played.

Our daughter knew exactly how to spoil me this Mother's Day.

With all that said,  I'm going to take a little blog break as I allow myself time to wrap up my 29th year of teaching, adjust to my husband's new work hours, and look forward to my upcoming summer break. I can't wait! I am going to put together an eye-spy swap in June and we'll also be celebrating our 200th Tuesday Archives Linky Party with a $25.00 Gift Certificate from Fat Quarter Shop! How fun! I'm still set on meeting my May OMG and will busy myself making this fun baby eye quilt as I set out to establish new routines.  Sometime this kind of easy, fun sewing is exactly what we need. Anyhoooo....
Thanks for visiting and for your continuous support as bloggers and quilters.
I'm looking forward to catching up with all your blogs and going on's as June arrives, and hope you'll think about joining in on our Second Eye-Spy Swap this June here at Val's Quilting Studio.
