B...B....Benny !

Pin It
He went to a royal wedding, I watching it on television. He flew in, we drove to Sioux City, Iowa. He parked at the back door, we walked blocks.  
He was on the stage, I was in row 20. He had on a blue shirt, I was in coral plaid. He started to play, I started to cry.  He played for 3 hour and I'm still amazed.
He was on my bucket list and I crossed him off.  I saw Elton John !
Thank you, Sir Elton, what a pleasure.
 Husband, we keep Living the Dream. What a ride !

Applique Fix

Pin It
 I've started the applique and had to change one of the fabric's.


The one of the left is the original, and the right is what is going to be one of the flowers.




I couldn't get the fabric to turn, as it turned it frayed.



Yellow flowers center's finished.

Purchase Good Fabric Quilt Tips from The Quilt Ladies

Pin It

Purchase the best quality 100% cotton you can afford. It is known as quilter’s cotton. I use the standard rule to wash all cotton as I purchase it. Wash, dry, iron with a dry iron, fold and either use or store.

My Quilt Ladies Office is ALWAYS Open

Pin It
I was asked a question, "How do you do it?"

I like this question,,
My calendar is my best friend, I write everything down, I've done this for years, I leave nothing to memory. I have notebooks full of lists, ideas, measurements, and recently I found one with an entire quilt shop plan from schedules, floor plans and advertising ideas. You know, I STILL hope that happens some day.
  

I make a daily list of what I'm going to do with The Quilt Ladies, writing schedule and sewing room time, each day.  I may not leave the house, but I have some very long days, both on the computer and in the sewing room.  When Husband is working, so am I. But, his 2 days off a week, I'm with him.


This is how my desk looks in my sewing room (I cleaned). I have everything on computer and have all back ups on memory sticks. I design from this computer, with fabric close.


When we travel I always have my laptop, it has many airline miles on it. This is one of my notebooks, I seem to like time with my computer. Just part of being a solo-business.


Here's my work horse computer, it has had a bit of trouble over the past year, but I love the room it's in and still do most of my writing from it. So, as I try to do it all, I make a daily to do list, set goals monthly, check them weekly and move them around if I have too. Read as much as I can about quilts and quilt trends.
Right, now I have a goal of appliqueing 2 pieces to my paisley quilt each day, but if I don't make it, I just try again tomorrow !

Be Kind to All,
Beth
