Putting All Together - Red, Green and White Quilt Blocks

Book 8 of the Quilt Ladies
A Wedding.....  bethanndoing.com
All Quilt Ladies Books on Kindle - 

NOW all The Quilt Ladies Books are in ONE Book - HERE

The writing of book 8 was so much fun for me. I planned a wedding and had to answer, ask or tell anyone, why or what I wanted. From the simpleness of the day, to the family and friends. It is what I hope my day was about, many years ago.

At the time of book 8's writing, we lived in Windom, Minnesota. A VERY long way from home and I had some very long days and even longer nights. Son #2 was in high school, working, sports and always busy,
Husband had his first retail store and worked 24/7.
And I wrote, the wedding was on.....
I wrote, ate and dreamed of nothing but a wedding, for months and months.
Then came the quilt.
It was overwhelming, everything I've always wanted in a quilt.
This one was designed and done for me, no one else, just me.

There are 12 blocks, pieced on a sewing machine and hand appliqued with
vines and leaves.

I have a quilt book of everything I've quilted or tops I've pieced. I was looking through it and this is one of the first book quilts.
It's for book one, I've come along way.


I was with the printer this morning and everything is looking good. Book 8 is the largest and has to be stapled differently, so hopefully next week, I'm hoping Monday, I'll be a printed author, of The Quilt Ladies Collection.
What a great trip, and maybe a WILD ride.


This is pictured hanging on the fence in Sioux City, IA, at was when the boys were home. WOW.A bit ago.
My next project, I'm going to do something little, cutting 1 inch blocks and going to have fun, not going to graph anything, just going to play.

Enjoy your weekend, and your week !

OLD Ladies ROCK - A Bike Story and Aging

OLD Ladies ROCK - A Bike Story and Aging 

Well, I'm going to have to face the fact; I'M OLD. I have gone kicking and screaming (and Laughing) into middle age but yesterday

was the end all of end all.

We volunteered at a Triathlon in Des Moines, IA, it's the swim, bike, run thing and we were bike marshall's and I loved it. Have a chair and cheer the riders on. I loved it, until....

As we (Sister-in-law #2) cheered on, one of the female riders said,

"OLD LADIES ROCK"

I haven't stopped laughing yet.

I know I (we) maybe not be riding, swimmer or running in spandex,

I know the hair maybe a bit gray, but an OLD lady.

I know at the age of 20, 51 is old, but please, OLD. Neither one of us have a cane, a walker or knit, well, I do quilt? Anyway, I'm claiming my 50's ! I thought the 50's, are the new 30's. Will someone please tell, the 20 year old this !

Anyway here's some pictures of the day,

This Old Lady Rocks,

Putting The Quilt Ladies Books All Together

The Quilt Ladies Book Collections is NOW is ONE Book - HERE

The books are coming together and I’m very pleased with them.
The numbers are better and I’ll be able to sell them at a price I’ll be happy with.
It’s not hard to move things around, just take's a bit of time, quite a bit, but I’m moving another step forward.

I'm going to have to rearrange pages, moving the color to the center.
It's not hard, but just a bit of time.



Our boys are going to be together this weekend, in sunny Florida. I'm here with a husband who works retail. Hard weekend for me,
can't seem to explain it, but just hard.

Well, anyway I have book time,



Have a Great Holiday,

Putting It All Together - Little Boy's First Quilt

I’m in the process of finishing Grand One’s birthday present and thought I’d walk through it….

Here we go.

The backing goes down first, good side of fabric to the floor. I use the middle of our living room. Then batting, this is cotton, and I used two layers, for kids and being tied I like that.

Then add the pieced quilt top, I use Quilter’s straight pins, on something being tied I don’t hand baste. I would if hand quilting. And I use these pins they leave no holes in your fabric.

I move it to the dining room table, and start to tie. I have a great light above the dining room table and I’m comfortable there, and can see the television. I can do about anything with the sound of an old movie in the background.

Darning needle, yarn cut about 30 inches long

No knot and leave about 2 inch tail

Continue as a long running stitch

Cut yarn

Tie with a basic knot

I’ll show the final project soon, just about finished.

Number one Husband has been talking about a new sleeping bag quilt too.

I even hear the, "Grand One got one". They never grow up ! ! !

That maybe next?
Sew Happy, Beth
