I did it. I joined Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson's <a href="http://www.thesplendidsampler.com/" target="_blank">The Splendid Sampler</a>!!</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
I'm so excited for a bevy of reasons...</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
1. To be a part of an online community. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
2. To USE MY STASH.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
3. To use my scraps!</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
4. To have a long project to get excited about. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
5. To get some newbie friends on a project with me. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
6. To stay connected with some friends that have moved from Muscat on this project. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
Ok. That's all I can think of. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
Please go to the link above and scroll to the bottom-ish part of the Home page to start reading what this is about. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
I have decided to dig into my stash and use some scraps. I really do not want to buy any more fabric. As I was looking through my boxes I noticed I do not nor have I ever bought or owned a full fat quarter set???!!! I shall remedy that...soon!!! It's on my bucket list!!</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
So we had a bonus block before this shindig officially starts...</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
I thought of another reason.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
7. To START BLOGGING AGAIN!!!!<br />

<div style="direction: ltr;">
I chose my little bit of thready fabric and used a scrappy yellow with white stars. It was much smaller than I realized, the block that is. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
Jane deigned a little project to use this bonus block on called The Folding Block Station. You have to go to the site, click on the MENU link on the top left. Scroll down to the bottom and look for:</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
January 30, 2016, AUDITION YOUR FABRICS - FOLDING BLOCK STATION. It will be a good thing to have for 6" and smaller blocks. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
I then chose a variegated green for the backing. Anyway, at first I had no intention of making this but decided it would be useful for this next year as well as any tiny blocks I might want to make in the future. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
I got turned around and after careful scrutiny of other Folding Block Stations, I see my pocket opening is off. I still need to go back and retread the directions. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
So I look forward to starting on the 14th! </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been wanting to make a Wonky Star quilt for a long time. So, during the summer months I started making them and boy was it fun!! I used a bevy of tutorials out there and used my skills from long ago to turn this quilt into a Quillow!! All of the fabrics are scraps save the backing and batting. I even hand quilted the pillow using Perle cotton from my Hardanger stash!</span></div>

I basted this mother four times before I got it right. First it was the pieced-on-the-selvage backing that was bubbling up on me. Then I just could not get it from bunching. Finally I used much better tape and clips and was super duper careful with very desirable results! FINALLY!</div>

I looked all over Muscat and at Ikea and a few other places in Dubai for the pillow size I needed. No one had them. I checked at Sultan Center and found some! I had to buy more pillows and use the square ones we bought at Ikea in Dubai to re stuff them or stuff them MORE! I ripped them open and spent two days stuffing...</div>

<br />
One day I opened my emails and a woman made a comment on my YouTube video that I uploaded two years ago saying that I had made a mistake on my Hardanger Tutorial. I called what was a tutorial on how to make Picots, well I called them Eyelets. How I did this I do not know! *insert blushing embarrassed face*. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, five days ago we moved to a new house. There is a lot of work being done such as changing out the flooring throughout the house and custom built cabinets and a table for my SEWING ROOM!! Gee, I am a lucky girl! We are having some very strong men dig out a pool in our backyard right now. Right now we have to move everything to God knows where as the men arrived to lay the flooring downstairs. So….</div>
I'll try to finish up here by posting the video. It has a little bit more personality to it. <br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by. Ok. I can't upload the video. It is too long. So, I'll post a link if you are so inclined to watch it. I'm just really proud of myself because with a little bit of uninterrupted time and silence I was able to sit down and give it my all to learn how to edit a video.<br />

Can you see the piece in the top center? I followed the instructions exactly. I used the same color threads and fabric and I stitched the same size. No one in our Hardanger group made it smaller; but many of the ladies made theirs larger. They are still stunning!</div>

We carry a bean for 9 months. We let it hang on us for up to two years. We live for that child always and we can handle excited hubby's with our new toy that will help us strike something off our bucket list! Don't forget these TV trays are not sold in Oman. I had to break it down and squeeze it in my suitcase and drag it home. Just reminding you. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw this somewhere. I think on IG and then flew over to Aylin's <a href="http://aylin-nilya.blogspot.com/2013/04/sleeping-bag-pouch-tutorial.html" target="_blank">blog</a>. I read her tutorial several times, as is my method, and finally sat down to make this! Thank you Aylin! I found that I got confused, not to her instructions, but to my own rock band in my head! I finally got it right and I learned one thing...I need to research stabilizers and fusible webs and stiffeners and the like a bit more. I would like this next one to be a bit more sturdy, that's all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really was fun and I can see how quick the next ones will be now that I have a better idea of how to construct it.</div>

The kids and I are leaving in a few days to drop off my first born for university! I have been feeling sick. I am sure it's that and a few other things that are going on in my life. I don't like this feeling though. Who would!? Anyway, I hope to find some cute charms to put on my bags as I hope to be making more bags to sell at the local bazaars this coming school year. Any suggestions on where to source them? I guess zipper pulls are what I need and cute charms.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been seeing so many mini's on Instagram and Blogland that I realized that all those techniques or patterns that I want to make quilts out of and will never get made; well, I realized that I could make minis! So, here is my XO Mini...</div>

I started cutting scraps. My scraps only multiply. I can never get rid of them! I grabbed two shades of 8 colors and cut 3" squares.</div>

I then took a decent sized scrap of white and cut out 1.5" squares. I needed to draw on the diagonal so I put them on the line. It did help in accuracy but who has the time man?</div>

Welcome back to both you and me!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really behind in my posting. I know that. I've been very busy this past school year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd like to dedicate this post to my daughter's recital. She is the FIRST female and the YOUNGEST to ever have a musical recital through the Oud Hobbyists Association. I have taken the liberty to use a lot of their photos and am using my own as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sit back and enjoy the many photos. I'm trying to figure out how to get a clip on here so you can hear her but am having the hardest time, man.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi! It's been a while again that I have been here. I don't have many followers and less people commenting, but still I enjoy working on my blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have made some changes in my life and those changes will enable me to be more active on my blog. I think. I hope.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't do anything like my favorite ladies in blogland; such as produce <i>A LOT</i> and <i>FAST.</i> I don't write patterns. I don't write books.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm just a little ole gal that likes to create and talk about my kids, crafts, cooking, quilting, cats and whatever else is going on in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, thank you for stopping by; it would be really nice for my ego if you commented here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am pretty active on Instagram. I saw a sew along for the Sew Together Bag that I bought off of <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/sewing/accessory/sew-together-bag/36309">Craftsy</a>. Oh Em Gee! It is the coolest bag!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not take step by step photos but I have taken a bunch of my finished bag! I really liked this project and had to figure out an easier way to do some of the steps. Having said that, the directions are very well written and the sew along online gave the many visuals that was highly appreciated by me!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoy the photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both the kids said I used too many colors that don't 'belong' together. I disagree. I love the splash of color! I like that they don't 'belong' together!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband said I did a great job and gave me a suggestion. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>This dude is really critical and brutally honest.</i></span></div>

I joined a Flickr Bee a while ago and we are almost finished with the first round of 12 ladies. We have been making two blocks a month and for some reason; my camera downloads black images and I think that is where some of the photos have gone. For now, I'll show these:</div>

This block was fun to make. Lots of pieces. The overall original design by <a href="http://thimbleblossoms.bigcartel.com/product/swoon-pattern-142-pdf-pattern" target="_blank">Thimble Blossoms </a>by Camille Roskelley, is 24"! That is one large block! Alice made hers smaller at around 16.5" following Amy over at <a href="http://lotsofpinkhere.blogspot.com/search/label/quilts">here</a>.</div>

For Wendy we had to use Heritage colors. That was a challenge for me. I saw that some of her other blocks had purple and blue so I had been dying to make a spool block and did so. She says she loves it. So, I am happy.</div>

Pam wrote out the directions for this <a href="http://civilwarquilts.blogspot.com/2011/10/43-right-hand-of-friendship.html" target="_blank">block</a>. I, however, googled it and found a pattern for it that followed Pam's; but finishes at 8" versus the 12". It was a little difficult to work with the floral print. It looks great; but it only finished at 12" instead of 12.5" so I have to go back and see what I did wrong.</div>

Corinne chose a really cool block that is in one of my block books and I never looked at it twice. She had us follow Amy Friends' <a href="http://www.duringquiettime.com/2012/02/winged-square-block-tutorial.com" target="_blank">During Quiet Time</a> blog tutorial. She provided us with the linen background and it was just lovely. I screwed up and had some doubles next to each other. Bummer.</div>

I had been seeing this STATW for ages and loved it. I love the technique and was piqued to try it one day. This way, on a Bee, it should be easy for everyone. I used the quilt ville tutorial for the <a href="http://www.quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/scrappy-trips=around-world.com" target="_blank">Scrappy Trip Around the World</a>. My evil plan is to receive 11 from my Bee members and make a million more myself!! Ok. I have 20 up here on the design wall and 12 more blocks on my table plus I don't know how many more with strips I have yet to put together. I like the effect but as I cut more scraps; it changes color ways which adds to the charm! I'm so pleased!!</div>
<br />
<br />
I just have one more to make but I am so busy making a million of my own! I will get to hers. Stay tuned!!!<br />

This coming Sunday marks the new season for the Muscat Quilt Guild! We are to make a new name tag no larger than 4x6". I thought this would be the perfect time to try out one of those techniques on my long list. It frees me up from dreaming of making a larger quilt!<br />
<br />
So, I love it when it goes from here:<br />

I did not want to cut further into any of the fabrics so I used a scrap piece for the binding in my scrap box. I liked the yellow and as the white background has polka dots; I chose this one for the same reason and it matched!</div>

What should I buy? I leave one city to go to another one on Tuesday and then I get to shop! So far, it's been all for the kids. I want to pick up some crafting supplies! I bought a cute little Halloween panel and all the trimmings. I bought some rainbow materials so that I can finally make a rainbow zig zag quilt following Angela's quilt along at <a href="http://cuttopieces.blogspot.com/2011/06/zig-and-zag-beginning.html" target="_blank">Cut to Pieces</a>.

Isn't it cute!!?? I am now doing a recap research of so many tutorials on how to make my own fabric labels and bought the stuff. I want to buy more...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Funny enough; I'm enjoying food but not like before. It could be that I should be fasting as Ramadan started. I don't need to for one week, er hm....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My passion for food is not there. Like before. I just want three good meals. I gave up soda. Too easily, actually. My friend that I am staying with and her hubby have lost almost 100 pounds. That could be it. Ali has lost 3 on their new plan! Yay!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok. I better go. I don't have much down time.</div>

Finally!!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi! It's been a while since I have posted anything. I have been busy working on several projects and I finally snapped with the disorganization of my fabric! So....let the pictures tell the story!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">FABRIC ORGANIZATION!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is just where I store the bulk of my fabric. I have bins with scraps and after I attacked this bunch; I pulled a lot out to put into a new scrap bin made up of larger pieces.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with Pinks. I folded the fabric selvage to selvage. Apparently they come off the bolt like this. You should get about 20"- 22" wide.</div>

Honestly; I cropped the other half of the shelf out. I have drawers and books and papers all over. I still have a ton of work to do but the main stash of fabric is organized and finished and I'm so excited! I enjoyed this process but also got very bored. I enjoyed seeing what fabrics I have and remembering why I bought it and wondered why I bought some of them!! Hahahahaha....</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
My friend Maggie asked me to quilt and bind and prepare this quilt for the end of May for delivery to some children in Muscat. I ended up stippling this quilt as it's my go-to quilting; but I honestly thought it would suit the top best. Plus, it's practice for my own skill level! I'm very pleased how it turned out and Maggie did a wonderful job putting the top and backing together and also preparing the binding for me. Do you know which pattern this is? Finished quilt measures 38" x 50" <br />

I made this tissue box cover from Aneela Hoey's tutorial found <b><i><a href="http://comfortstitching.typepad.co.uk/comfortstitching/2011/09/moda-country-fair.html" target="_blank">here</a></i></b>. It was another easy to follow pattern! I really appreciate that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, the tissue box size did not coordinate with what is sold here in Oman. So my friend Jo taught me how to measure (math is not my strong suit!) the tissue box that I actually keep on hand and here it is....further down...<br />
<br />

Wheras the above looks good; it was way too tight across the top and the length was short. This is the power of photography! I ripped the ends trying to get it to fit on.</div>

Hi! It's been a little while again but I have made a little bag!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I followed Aneela Hoey's tutorial <i><b><a href="http://comfortstitching.typepad.co.uk/comfortstitching/2012/09/oval-box-bag-tutorial.html" target="_blank">here</a></b></i>. It was simple and easy to follow. I had no idea what she was explaining but just followed and it turned out great! Even the zipper was stellar!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once I finished it, I showed it to my husband along with the take out menus. He just looked at me questioningly and I told him that I was at that bag all day and therefore did not cook for him!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then preceded to put all his Homeopathy meds in it and they fit! It was darling. I went on to bed and he came up later and asked me why I took everything out! I told him that it was very um, feminine!! He said he did not care! I posted on FB and got two girlfriends whom wanted me to make one for them. One gal is leaving so I will do so. The other is just the nicest woman, so I will as well. Also, I need to make a manly bag for the man so tomorrow Uki and I will be picking out fabrics from my vast collection and cutting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, on to the photos!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Uki helped me pick out these following fabrics and afterwards took a rewarding bath!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a very simple and basic tutorial on how to make Eyelets in Hardanger. It was an interesting process! I had made a video of Uki playing with marbles, which is the cutest darn tooting' thing EVER; but got my hands slapped because of copyrighted material. So, I opted for my own voice on this one! Anyway, I hope it helps people and my master grand plan (bahahaha) is to record them for myself because I keep forgetting those stitches!!! </div>

This was such a busy and sad week but happy too! All in stride, right people? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First Wendy left. I did not know her very well but she was truly a kind soul. Lovely woman. At her surprise from the Tuesday group; she did not expect us but she had made a little sumpin' sumpin' for each one of us!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She said she remembered I said something about living here permanently (it's a seriously transient society here) and how I never received anything. It's one of my gripes. I do feel that I am always giving because I do and so many people come and go! So, she must have made it a point and decided to make us all, not just me, a gift when she left, which was inevitable!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, last Tuesday, I went to Jo's and Corinne handed me this lovely little package! I saw the intricate paper craft. Then I saw the SELVAGE! I was so excited! Inside, I saw a block and a pattern for a Friendship Scrap Block. So, nice!</div>

Goodbye Wendy...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Tuesday group consists of a small group of women. We meet at various homes and work on something or inspire each other or just hang out with each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, the time came for Wendy to be leaving and going back to Scotland. I just got word that she arrived today, so this took place last Wednesday I think. Ok, last week sometime.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two of us were not sure if we could make it; me being one. I did. She did. It was lovely. Thank you to Corinne for hosting this!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Corinne left Kuwait; the ladies put together a Quilt Jar. In Kuwait, there are a lot of ladies that are crafty and in the group. Here in Muscat, our Tuesday group is tiny; so Corinne suggested we each throw in several fat quarters. I put in five and an embroidered pin cushion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Wendy...SURPRISE!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She met some of the ladies downstairs! She was under the impression that she was having tea with Corinne! </div>

Some different angles of what I did. I used Bullion Embroidery on Silk. I used a Kahwa or Arabic Coffee Cup so she could take a little of Oman back with her. W for her name, Wendy. A Sunflower, as it is her favorite flower and yellow as it is her favorite color. I felt it needed something but was more concerned about the 'finishing' around the lip. So I added a little Ladybug!</div>

The <a href="http://muscatquilters.blogspot.com/">Muscat Quilt Guild </a>is doing a year long project of Journal Quilts. I keep meaning to make one since September and finally made one for February. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The theme had these criterias:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yellow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Title: Movie/Book/Song</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8.5" x 11"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
February, 2013</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to use a song by The Cure but could not get my thought process around these songs:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Disintegration.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">Love Cats</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">. </span>Well, I had an idea but did not love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">The Last Day of Summer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Pictures of You</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Love Song</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Just like Heaven.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pooh...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I was cleaning. Love cleaning. You find TREASURES! I found a picture of my house that I had printed onto fabric. I then used this for the basis of my Journal Quilt and decided to use Phillip Phillips' first single '<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoRkntoHkIE">Home'</a>. (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">He's sooooo cute! He was my favorite and WON American Idol, 2012) </span>Oh yes. I can whip this up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And whip up I did. Last night. I laid my head down at 3:39am. The alarm woke me at 6:13am. I had our general Muscat Quilt Guild meeting and had it to show. I am doing this now and will cook and run to look at a cool sewing machine and frame from a friend whom is leaving and selling. Then off to pick up my son and then by 4 I can chill. My body hurts all over. But enough of my silliness. Back to the quilt...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with taking the cut off borders of my <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=9027889325010870575#editor/target=post;postID=2412631877621324236">Jelly Roll Race Quilt</a>. I trimmed where necessary and joined them using a large zigzag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Again showing the cool wavy line. Sometimes the pins would get stuck on the table and I would feel a slight tug. This gave me long stitches. It's all about the practice and forgiving yourself for not being perfect. I did my best and the stitches are different sizes but I'm happy with it and know where I went wrong and what I can do to correct that.</div>
