Clue 4 mystery

Sorry to take so ling to get this posted, but here it is.

Clue 4

In this clue, we are going to start some block assembly.  So, there is no difference in the instructions for choice A and choice B.  The only difference is that choice A will be making 20 blocks, and choice B will make 30 blocks. 

You will need to dig out the Unit C (6 1/2" pieced squares) and your strip pieces of Unit D and Unit E from the last clue.  Keep them separated.

Take the unit C blocks.  pile them beside your machine, making sure that the last sewn strip is at the top and bottom.  Sew a Strip Unit D onto each side of the block.  Press towards the outside of block.

Next sew a Unit E to the top and bottom of your block.  Press out towards the border.  This is now called Unit F!!

Until the next stitch!!

Clue 3 of the Mystery quilt

I was going to start out by saying I was sorry to you all for neglecting my blog.  But I decided against it.  I guess when I started this blog it was going to be something fun and a way of sharing what I am sewing on.  I have done that.  I have not been great about sharing everything, but what the hey!!

So Happy New Year!!!  2 months ago we gave the guild clue 3 of the mystery.  We gave them 2 months to do that clue.  2 months ago.  So clue 4 comes out to the guild next week.  So I had better get clue 3 out to you all.  It is an easy one and unless you are doing 3 i should not take long to get it done.

The 2 Chocolate Quilts

I went on a big posting jag then left ya all!!  I am still here.  I have had an incredibly busy month.  I have kept up but the blog has suffered.  I will be posting the mystery clue 3 later this week.  There was no clue last month as I wanted to give you time to get caught up.  Or it was going to be given out and there was no clue for December. Just depends on how you look at it :P

I did design and finish 2 baby quilts.  I wanted to make a teal and chocolate quilt.  I bought too much fabric so I decided to make 2.  One is spoken, the other is just ahead. I have ordered the batts and will be quilting these myself.  Excited!!

Until the next stitch!!

NO!!!! Quilt guild longarm videos

I can not believe that technology, usually my friend, kicked me in the ass last night.
I did interviews with all 3 of the guild's long arm quilters.  I edited it, I added music, I added them all together.  I then hooked my laptop up to a big tv.  No sound. I call in my tech guy (thanks Scott).  He uninstalls drivers, downloads others, gets me sound.  I run to the meeting, test drive it all when I get it hooked up, all is good!!  So then it is my time.  I move the whole thing and guess what, NO SOUND!!  I call Scott and he arrives with in 5 min.  We put the sound back to the laptop (hardly can hear it) and we watch the video.  I say watch because the voices are not loud.  We could hear a couple, but not well.  I was very very disappointed.  And I am going to be doing more next month.  I bet I will have 2 back ups next month.  It will not happen again!!
But that being said, the girls were some quiet.  They didn't even move.

So I go to upload the video onto my blog and guess what, too big. So I upload it to You Tube.  6 hour upload.  Leave the pc running.  Next day no video, guess what??  It is too big for You tube.  So I am forgetting about it until tomm.  I can upload the video in smaller parts.  Guess I got kicked again!!

Until the next stitch!!
