It is one of the first quilts I put together, so I used materials I had on hand. Now I need to get some backings on others and quilt a few more. I am thinking of buying larger quilt backing, so I don't have to piece fabric for the back, but also think it would be good to use up some stash, so I will think about it. The photo makes it look brighter than in person.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwRMgih4nNHwPxbQ6l-q7k0M2U8OIqMQvrEL7e-_Myh1DASgYcMDPwlUaGfr0jM3QbOTRSIOffk41ukKJFHbbM4TMhJicRzddP1JTIctFFQir4RF77NRhcUtNqDJiXP4wJw5Pmcrp95qnEcya_UdsnlOVpURqopE2SNL2CIaaQkpA4p77gUVwOpk-h0i8/s1500/quiltpin1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwRMgih4nNHwPxbQ6l-q7k0M2U8OIqMQvrEL7e-_Myh1DASgYcMDPwlUaGfr0jM3QbOTRSIOffk41ukKJFHbbM4TMhJicRzddP1JTIctFFQir4RF77NRhcUtNqDJiXP4wJw5Pmcrp95qnEcya_UdsnlOVpURqopE2SNL2CIaaQkpA4p77gUVwOpk-h0i8/s320/quiltpin1.jpg" width="299" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>We got to enjoy some time at the island this week.

A Thick-Billed Murre was sitting in the road and didn't want to move. I have a feeling he got stunned by a car. I stood by him, trying to figure out how to get him back in the water, when a policeman came by. He had no idea what to do, so I explained that the bird has to be in the water, they do not walk on land. </p><p>So, the policeman grabbed him and the Murre did not like that, so clamped onto his hand, with his bill, poor guy. But he held on and we walked down to the water and I told him to just throw it up in the air. He did and the Murre flew up enough over the reeds to get in the water and swam away. Our adventure for the day and a first time sighting for me.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-U_hA_pj9PfLDbiqsZdbh5Nn1b4LLpwG1X-k-61MWlbXFDTTJKDaDRXu4BBagSnGDGhX8LDyd67-2p3UgwvgmQhWyo2rCQXMNVDFmpBJ6xd8HhsHDDA7N5gP2lU79HbDNowuNW5JGb0bw_A1qXIHhCi5vlc9qIh99j37wiM_oKJIGSXd6dZ1FGDx1k7U/s1500/thickbmurre.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1015" data-original-width="1500" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-U_hA_pj9PfLDbiqsZdbh5Nn1b4LLpwG1X-k-61MWlbXFDTTJKDaDRXu4BBagSnGDGhX8LDyd67-2p3UgwvgmQhWyo2rCQXMNVDFmpBJ6xd8HhsHDDA7N5gP2lU79HbDNowuNW5JGb0bw_A1qXIHhCi5vlc9qIh99j37wiM_oKJIGSXd6dZ1FGDx1k7U/s320/thickbmurre.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>After that, we headed to another beach. It was so nice out, that there were a lot more people than usual. I didn't find much on the beach until I spotted this guy. A baby blue lobster, a rare find. He wasn't moving but looked like he had just washed up, so I threw him back in the ocean, since it was going out. I am hoping that the ocean revived him and he lives to grow up, a happy thought.</p><p>Tomorrow a little snow flurry and we planned on taking the boys to the seaport, along with my son. They are having a winter fest, with reindeer, ice sculptures and other activities, so hopefully it will move out quickly and we can enjoy the day without freezing.

I painted the heart in beach colors and then tried to add a paper heart with decoupage. That didn't work, the paper started bubbling up and then ripped as I tried to flatten it. So, I put another paper heart on a piece of cardboard paper to keep it stiff. That held on but just didn't have the look I wanted. So, I just used rug tape to adhere it, then added a cloth heart with tape, so later I can redo it and make it into a summer piece. Maybe even using tape so I can replace the items each season. </p><p>This is what I had in mind when I made it. What I did, with a little photoshop magic to add flowers and items that aren't really there.

It really helps to keep the musty scents away. I took two patterns from my Fraktur design booklets, Horses and Rooster. These two make nice stitcheries and fun to color in. </p><p>To color on cloth, I use freezer paper. After coloring, I use a paper stylus to rub the color into the cloth. With these two stitcheries, I used two new threads. The horse was done with cheap black floss, not the best floss and a bit fuzzy. The rooster was done with Anchor cotton floss, that comes on a spool. I like the Anchor on a spool, so much easier to use and no messy skeins to store. It is a bit thinner, but nice if you want more defined lines. On the horse, I used antique ink, spattering it on with a brush.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii-bFzLs4sOVpUr1J-TXdDpOfWO8JOT_wSK1eIGXpwOW9q_t2JBQSskrIZm76aqLKC9_8-46IxZLNNwIHgeBBrRyfyUbdKHvNc8T45HErBU2AV-YdFHieziRxNkSfGOfrsek1rK3wCEPb7c-VMQ4BT229IR7UhyXvdPmpogh4y6fThEMuBTSTu3tBmb64/s1400/IMG_7444.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="904" data-original-width="1400" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii-bFzLs4sOVpUr1J-TXdDpOfWO8JOT_wSK1eIGXpwOW9q_t2JBQSskrIZm76aqLKC9_8-46IxZLNNwIHgeBBrRyfyUbdKHvNc8T45HErBU2AV-YdFHieziRxNkSfGOfrsek1rK3wCEPb7c-VMQ4BT229IR7UhyXvdPmpogh4y6fThEMuBTSTu3tBmb64/s320/IMG_7444.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The cold has settled in and that makes it hard to get out for walks.

I spend more time cleaning and reorganizing and figuring out what to get rid of, I have too much stuff. I work on hand quilting at night. This is an old quilt, I had sitting on the shelf. Now I wish I had used the machine, the quilt was made on an old machine and not the best quality, but I find hand quilting relaxing, so I do that for my more primitive quilts. I am just doing an outline stitch, and working a row at a time, so slow going.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOndM5Z4BSqat1r74ibmGiAue1PUSQhuz4F_OqpsvLeRjxGc-YQUfOZOFYELy926ProlqknmcOQ-o6Ys_T3dZV-lKnFqX7RGvqGxwNlVjayI1a35Fapjvsf12DxdIToRzI-bqu0rffpcgA077cVLUT_H2BqJ5maMjssbXtX1oJHsMpcwtYb3rhuHkXGM/s1500/IMG_7425.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOndM5Z4BSqat1r74ibmGiAue1PUSQhuz4F_OqpsvLeRjxGc-YQUfOZOFYELy926ProlqknmcOQ-o6Ys_T3dZV-lKnFqX7RGvqGxwNlVjayI1a35Fapjvsf12DxdIToRzI-bqu0rffpcgA077cVLUT_H2BqJ5maMjssbXtX1oJHsMpcwtYb3rhuHkXGM/s320/IMG_7425.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>We get out when we can, but with so many storms, the ocean areas are getting slammed with damage.

This week I saw something I had to try, a ghost quilt. It is based on a book for kids and I saw the idea in a quilt group. I cut up 5 1/2" squares and did 8 rows. The one I saw had 10 blocks and a 4" border in hers. I just sat the eyes on, I still need to sew them on and reshape them. I don't have a good base to set it on, so I will go out tomorrow to see if I can find something. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwt_ao1OpDN359ZFZrhZZEKCVfLL_TY22KMpESgojAX9-D_ZLywobbPi3Iu6r0gAssoiouR6w19yvcafkLDWJrNR-9LqRrZRGpaQlvmjOynEVPqG6AvIXuiwyJueacuAtlI84diymsO4HHWUqJ0WxmJkC3UnmVlC2pkt436NFELNyDgmZdLXU49K_goZw/s1500/ghosty.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="929" data-original-width="1500" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwt_ao1OpDN359ZFZrhZZEKCVfLL_TY22KMpESgojAX9-D_ZLywobbPi3Iu6r0gAssoiouR6w19yvcafkLDWJrNR-9LqRrZRGpaQlvmjOynEVPqG6AvIXuiwyJueacuAtlI84diymsO4HHWUqJ0WxmJkC3UnmVlC2pkt436NFELNyDgmZdLXU49K_goZw/s320/ghosty.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>I also saw something in a store we went to and I tried my own version.

I hope every is doing well and enjoys the coming week.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuff4v9a_oEhd_oviXysaY1c6dH-IaMdb36DraM7nc0HQHaAmupJWiFMejxaQB0v1ihO8WoToXGdMlrDUb2n51wVKvm9m9Eluh73CK7zCfbcG-GFEaEiQCDk1iNtSxm5I4lXfcnBVcKCLtc1tXyQBs_LblwR1n1M5w9-IqdjD1O4VPqQYzZ98gTylIiYM/s1500/IMG_7116.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="1500" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuff4v9a_oEhd_oviXysaY1c6dH-IaMdb36DraM7nc0HQHaAmupJWiFMejxaQB0v1ihO8WoToXGdMlrDUb2n51wVKvm9m9Eluh73CK7zCfbcG-GFEaEiQCDk1iNtSxm5I4lXfcnBVcKCLtc1tXyQBs_LblwR1n1M5w9-IqdjD1O4VPqQYzZ98gTylIiYM/s320/IMG_7116.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p></div>WoolenSailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935207946660056757.post-70573881519971038872023-10-06T22:38:00.006-04:002023-10-06T22:38:43.359-04:00In the works!<p> </p><p>I am still working on my stitchery. It has a lot of stitching and some things I am thinking on, as I go. The background fabric is coffee stained color from Moda, so a bit darker than I usually do. I am using brighter threads so they show up and adding detail inside so it stands out. A bit more to do and then a christmas fabric for the border. It is another design by Cheri Saffiote. I don't like how the stitches in the mustache look, so I will redo that and I may add some glitter, red knots in the center of his robe squares.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqchlxO18latYckdq2Nqxt2Y9As-UbM6SWMQ_xdh_KjUdYAqoe1wlFyZoWIIYd818ukE6NJCOvDhyphenhyphenMYLuc7bJI1_XR9AUYcONRCCjpWiFTBDmKxP1RvAZ7z4ns3srch3A_X9M8e4XXb3sp_ivxkrc4kLc1Hi8YDfmOdSKaN4LbgaSdfy6oqSzewm3gHgY/s1400/IMG_7091.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="1355" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqchlxO18latYckdq2Nqxt2Y9As-UbM6SWMQ_xdh_KjUdYAqoe1wlFyZoWIIYd818ukE6NJCOvDhyphenhyphenMYLuc7bJI1_XR9AUYcONRCCjpWiFTBDmKxP1RvAZ7z4ns3srch3A_X9M8e4XXb3sp_ivxkrc4kLc1Hi8YDfmOdSKaN4LbgaSdfy6oqSzewm3gHgY/s320/IMG_7091.JPG" width="310" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Last weekend we took a ride around a section of Connecticut.

I also had a few birds hit my sliding glass doors, so I need something to put on the upper half. I found a fun site that has Halloween cut outs, so I made a few and taped them to the window. So far, no bird strikes, so hopefully that did the trick. </p><p>The ghosts are really simple to do and would be great for kids too. For the witch, I cut out the design from the print out, since it was black ink.
