Yes we always talk a LOT but over the last few weeks our conversations have been specifically about teaming up and we've finally decided to blog together- so beginning today we will cease to be Chaotic and Insane, and instead just be Blissful. We do most of our creating together, I<i> always</i> have to do all of the sewing (it's a sweat shop I tell ya!), Jess of course thinks she has all the best ideas, so we just thought it would be easier to stop fighting over who gets to take credit!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #191919; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">We really hope you will follow us over to our new blog - we've even decided to bribe you, so click on over to see what's up.</span><br />

I decided to make napkins! I used the <i>most lovely</i> calico fabrics, enclosing each square with a mitered corner frame. As ugly as we'd all think they are now, I worked very hard on making them perfect, and I used mine untill they died. I think my Mom is the only one maybe still hanging on to a couple. (Love you mom!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A few weeks ago I went to the Jacksonville quilt show. I had a great time wandering through seeing some amazing quilts, trying out long arms (oh how I miss you Millenium) and looking through shops. Jacksonville very few fabric shops for such a large city, so it was fun to see such variety in one place. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK5GHGJV2ukGNdTNLmNFr1tfJ6XrWNrAH1qer8QKarEzO-ba86s8fMBMbTMabbZOpaudmfYjqu_EiKmuPqdTIcCoX4JlrBT8ottd1zzHqGTm8FdOK3NxgJ1B6aYQT-JuzHV2yG-rjQhW_c/s1600/napkins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK5GHGJV2ukGNdTNLmNFr1tfJ6XrWNrAH1qer8QKarEzO-ba86s8fMBMbTMabbZOpaudmfYjqu_EiKmuPqdTIcCoX4JlrBT8ottd1zzHqGTm8FdOK3NxgJ1B6aYQT-JuzHV2yG-rjQhW_c/s640/napkins.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>At one shop I spotted this piece of <a href="http://portabellopixie.typepad.com/portabellopixie/2008/05/farmers-market.html">Farmers Market by Sandi Henderson </a>and not far from that I saw a fabric I'd not seen before. I found out it's by <a href="http://hoodiescollection.blogspot.com/">Hoodie,</a> whom I've also never heard of, though she has been designing fabric for years. This line is called <a href="http://www.blankquilting.com/FabricDetails.aspx?collectionid=336">Vegie Patch</a>. The eggplant fabric was all I could find at the show. There on the spot I decided to revisit my napkin making. We go through a lot of napkins but I also do a lot of laundry so why not combine the two.... After looking at the line, the eggplant is my favorite, but I want to get the others to make more napkins, four is not enough.<br />

I love the mitered corners. I made these by just wrapping the fabric from the back and framing my focus fabric. The solid green is Kona Grass. Is there anything you made years ago that you've decided to make again? I wonder if in twenty more years I'll think this fabric was a <i>"lovely"</i> choice?<br />

I purchased an extra large dress shirt while back in Germany because the fabric was a yummy Italian cotton. I thought I'd re-purpose it for myself but when Jess asked me to make Micah a shirt I knew that this was a better option. I used the Sketchbook Shirt pattern by Oliver & S again. It goes together so simply. Even though I like to use a real stand up collar on bigger shirts, this one is easy to make in a short time, and really, spending a lot of time making small clothes that will usually be outgrown before they are worn out is kind of silly. Now, ask me how long it took me to finish these...... no don't, because I don't want to tell.</span><br />

Avignon by American Jane for Moda. I started this sample, the whole bolt of red focus fabric sold, and I lost momentum. I was using a pattern from<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Layer-Cake-Jelly-Charm-Quilts/dp/0715332082"> this book</a> and had even sewn most of the left over odd shaped triangles together for the edging. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It went into the cupboard and never came out again </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYcG_3E4FUND7TuMyneegaOajfsgmjY0_rszkClM5NaZtHPWrjNP6Go5I-gO0YkhtUCAWVOSlcjsVvrRt_CCrcRjn55m7MF-DqKycZb2YXBy_onj0JGKb3uslI2wBX_OA9WDQX0nm-1pW-/s1600/avingonhexagon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="491" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYcG_3E4FUND7TuMyneegaOajfsgmjY0_rszkClM5NaZtHPWrjNP6Go5I-gO0YkhtUCAWVOSlcjsVvrRt_CCrcRjn55m7MF-DqKycZb2YXBy_onj0JGKb3uslI2wBX_OA9WDQX0nm-1pW-/s640/avingonhexagon.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Fast forward two years.....Out comes the project. I realize there is not enough of anything to finish this project, and I'm determined to finish it without spending any more money. After <strike>a panic, a cup of </strike> <strike>coffee and messing a bit </strike>carefully planning, I found some blue kona in my stash, unpicked all those triangles and set them on their sides, then used the kona for the corner blocks and backing. What looks like a wide binding is actually the backing wrapped to the front and the corners mitered. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJiE2S3WCfizcssX-n8HEZfEke_C_ZqHY7z-4A6-7aGzhOi7tfcNINk90c5thg9xhUtmXBAtf5BTMjZ3hdRzyD__F9-KU99kDZb4usa8wti4uSG7s0NKnnXC5iKW705SVyzQBcwJ3vdPr0/s1600/avingonhexagon2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJiE2S3WCfizcssX-n8HEZfEke_C_ZqHY7z-4A6-7aGzhOi7tfcNINk90c5thg9xhUtmXBAtf5BTMjZ3hdRzyD__F9-KU99kDZb4usa8wti4uSG7s0NKnnXC5iKW705SVyzQBcwJ3vdPr0/s640/avingonhexagon2.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>Since it will be used as a tablecloth, I didn't use batting.

I have this cupboard that <a href="http://www.insanely-crafty.blogspot.com/">Jess</a> gathered all of my unfinished projects into and I couldn't get the door shut. It made me sad. She basically told me to either throw it away or get the silly things done. She can be tough but she did finish a rug for me to get me started. I whined a bit more and then <i>I</i> got started. This is my first finish, now I just need to remember how to go to the post office.<br />

I could also have titled this, "Sorry I Didn't Answer the Phone Mom, I Was Working On Your Quilt" or maybe..... "Yes Mom, Your Quilt IS Done<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> But No, It's Not In The Mail".</span><br />

I told her yes, but only if she'd help. So she decided she wanted a Turning Twenty, picked out her fabrics, helped me cut them up, and before she left we almost had the top done. I finished the borders fairly quickly and started quilting it, and then <strike>I started working and my life went kinda topsy-turvy</strike> stopped. About two months ago with Jess, Micah and You Know Who keeping me company, I finished the simple (really?) straight line quilting. I used a blue variegated thread which made a nice grid pattern on the back. It finished out queen size with a bit of overhang, I hope..<br />
I should have taken pictures of Micah and Grandpa "helping" me mark the lines... I hollered a lot, they thought it was funny. Sorry mom, even after a washing it'a a bit used (and still full of lint).<br />
Oh, and Mom, it is in a box... I need to set it in front of the door so I won't forget to take it to the post office...<br />
<br />
For those that are still reading, and asked where I work and what I do now, this is for you. Through a series of strange timing and weirdly connected events I am now working as an office manager for a small company that specializes in an area of building, both commercial and upper end residential. I really like it and if I can learn everything they need me to do in a timely manner, I think they'll really like me. No, it's not in the crafty creative vein that I love so much but it is a position where I take care of things and people, so now I concentrate on the part of me that likes organization. Judging from the first part of my post I've neglected that side a bit too long eh? It is funny though, I did manage to meld a bit of what I learned about display to make the books that hold the jobs legible. Such a little thing and it made me happy.<br />

It's one of those things you can easily do instead of doing a million other things you should be doing. I twisted <a href="http://www.insanely-crafty.blogspot.com/">Jessica's</a> arm the other night and made her sew the majority of the top. I first saw it <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/by-corina/5948164296/in/photostream">here</a> and also <a href="http://blog.heirloomcreations.net/?p=1897">here</a>. Some quilters race to see who can finish sewing first. I have a <strike>lot </strike>few jelly roll type fabrics sitting around <strike>collecting dust </strike> as decoration. We chose the Charisma line and within a couple of hours (way over the fastest <i>race</i> time) had a fun lap size top. It's now in the pile of unfinished projects until I get to the next step.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKdD7stSiujwKS5vo3KMpzxhjtI4yifOQGwKrEdIp-YTdWqpfKJYzl_c8S8xf7sijQMxaY4NeFeJA4fHNVf9UyCnqlRod5neqjrelELbhYo-OsszHTJEJtxGC3TQaHd5UISoFaqnW_punV/s1600/jellyrollrace.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKdD7stSiujwKS5vo3KMpzxhjtI4yifOQGwKrEdIp-YTdWqpfKJYzl_c8S8xf7sijQMxaY4NeFeJA4fHNVf9UyCnqlRod5neqjrelELbhYo-OsszHTJEJtxGC3TQaHd5UISoFaqnW_punV/s640/jellyrollrace.jpg" width="508" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbuB1GcerO_7EnciB_HopTdULbPmgN-J4b5oVxkKiMkb5bx23XjKX0bqQftq2L2CgfDGG36hWTqa1yfnmgRK0ofWSP2bJ_HhswpDeM6AB5bmjwKn7hx2n7uGsE_bqr7gqQOAofWvHWUVVi/s1600/jellyroll+race+close.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbuB1GcerO_7EnciB_HopTdULbPmgN-J4b5oVxkKiMkb5bx23XjKX0bqQftq2L2CgfDGG36hWTqa1yfnmgRK0ofWSP2bJ_HhswpDeM6AB5bmjwKn7hx2n7uGsE_bqr7gqQOAofWvHWUVVi/s640/jellyroll+race+close.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQzmH-bzPrrPfd_VMnA3Sa2FRXwOHpsSttBTHAPoJF4-YInayWh8IgVw2VPwQ2pvuSxTcfexyQpi7Jj3Ec0vhNXH9YVHdxQolNXRsvR_QhBHRkKkJUcl35IUm1VxtnR7-6xytnwgo12-C/s1600/jellyrollrace+close.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQzmH-bzPrrPfd_VMnA3Sa2FRXwOHpsSttBTHAPoJF4-YInayWh8IgVw2VPwQ2pvuSxTcfexyQpi7Jj3Ec0vhNXH9YVHdxQolNXRsvR_QhBHRkKkJUcl35IUm1VxtnR7-6xytnwgo12-C/s640/jellyrollrace+close.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Do you have 40 strips of fabric lying around doing nothing?

I used the left over fabric from my first top and cut a simple tank shape on the bias. For the back I cut it just slightly higher than the front. I got it a bit too wide so had to fuss with it for longer than I cared. There wasn't quite enough fabric for the length I wanted but seeing quite a few tops in the pool with bands on the bottom that I liked, I decided to do the same thing. I cut the band twice the width I needed, also on the bias. Folded it in half and sewed it to the bottom....

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to make sleeves that overlapped at the shoulders so re-cut two pieces on the bias. I decided to see what will happen to the raw hem of the sleeves.
