THREE WISHES

I made 3 wishes which turned into four,
By using this pattern.

Quiltmaker Magazine introduced the Warm Wishes pattern in 2000

as the quilt for Project Linus Make-a-Blanket Day.

http://www.quiltmaker.com/patterns/details.html?idx=5185_

 I have made this pattern on numerous occasions for gifts for my grand kids and other relatives.  It is very simple to make.  BTW it is a great stashbuster.  It looks different every time it is made up.  I was cleaning the sewing room and came across a stack of 6 inch squares (72 of them).  They are in a color I do not care for and usually don't have an occasion to use.  I don't remember cutting them up but I do remember the fabric.  Normally when I pre-cut something I put a copy of the pattern with it in a plastic bag. I thought to myself what am I going to do with all of these.  I immediately thought of the Warm Wishes pattern it require 6 inch squares. I had enough squares to make two of the crib size tops.

Went to search the stash for something to use with them and found a scrap of flowered fabric that had flowers in the dusty rose and dusty pink in the squares.  Then I picked out the fabric for the narrower rails.  I found a blue and a green that would work (there is blue flowers in the flowered fabric.)  I figured I'd make one in each color of the rail strips.  I prefer having the two inch fabrics in the same colors.  It makes the piecing faster because I don't have to worry which rail is on which side.

This is the first quilt from the squares.  I used only the green 2 inch strips  and the 3 inch strips are the flowered fabric.
size 49" X 62"

I set about constructing the strip sets and joining the blocks on the first one (the green strips.)  When I cut the flowered fabric for the 3 inch strips for the two quilts I discovered I still had some fabric left.
I decided to use it for borders. 

When I completed the first one I  thought I would use two colors of strips like the pattern calls for.  (It took me twice as long to construct the quilt because I had to make sure the blocks were
facing the correct direction to get the framed box effect.)

The second quilt:
size 52" X 62"

When I completed the second quilt I realized I had 11 left over rail squares.  I also had the left over 11 squares from the first quilt.  I thought I don't want 22 orphaned blocks that are similar in nature.  If I make another quilt I will have 33 blocks and that is enough to make another quilt.  I would have four similar tops not orphaned blocks.    I checked the flowered fabric to see if I had enough for the wide rail.  Yes I did, but I also had enough to cut 6 inch blocks for the third quilt if I didn't use it for rails.  If I did that I would have to scrounge the stash for something for the wide rail in the block.  (I had enough  dark blue for the two narrow rails).  I would also have to find alterantives for borders.  The stash relinquished all of these fabrics.

The stash coughed up this 1950's blue mini patterned cloth and there was enough to do the wide rails and to have a 6 inch border when the top was completed (I had enough of the dark blue to do an inner border before attaching the 6 inch border.

This is the third quilt:
size 49" X 60"


The remains of all the other quilts produced this fourth quilt:
size 49" X 58"

This quilt was literally already made.  I had left over 6 inch squares from the strips I cut from each quilt, and I had left over rail blocks from each of the three quilts. 

I was left with only 1 orphaned 6 inch square and 2 orphaned blocks.

I didn't keep track of the amounts of fabric used to make the blocks and borders.  But when I went looking for backing fabric I did measure it.  I used 17 yards of fabric for the backs and bindings.  That is approximately 34 yards of fabric.  The following pictures are the backings I chose for each quilt.

Quilt # 1 backing

Quit #2 Backing

Quilt # 3 Backing

Quilt # 4 Backing

Putting the Binding on:

This last picture is of the binding construction.  I used the machine to apply all the bindings.  I needed to get these done quickly and they are utilitarian quilts for little girls to play house with and drag around.

I was very pleased with the look.  The binding is top stitched on the front of the quilt with the machine and you have an extra row of visible stitching on the back.

Making three wishes was a breeze ,

getting the fourth one free...was the best wish of all.

Is there four wishes in your future? 

Thanks for stopping by.

48 VALENTINES AND COUNTING

It is said, it’s the thought that counts,

Counting the times we sat and watched TV,

Counting the trips to the grocery store,

Counting the days you took out the trash,

Doing things for the woman you adore.

So many mundane things you did,

Repeating them each and every day,

Counting the times you said I love you,

And showed me in every way.

The years rolled by, the moments filled,

With big and little things,

This woman, you constantly thrilled.

With the surprises life brings.

We’ve grown old together,

Our waistlines they grew too,

I have someone I can count on,

To share my life, I love you.

Everyday you make Valentines day for me.
It's the little things that count.

HONEY IN THE SNOW

About seven years ago we had a small dog dumped at our gate.  She only weighed about 15 pounds and wasn't more than 15 inches high.  We put out a "found" sign even though we did not think she was lost.  We live a mile from the interstate and that night it had poured down rain.  The little dog was clean and smelled like perfume. 

When my husband found her he said he thought she was tied to the gate.  She was so frightened she was plastered to the gate and didn't move.  He brought her up to the house and we had a problem.  We had four dogs already.  We didn't want to introduce her to the family if she was going to be leaving right away.  We decided to keep her in the master bedroom.  That night she inherited the name Honey.  She was so sweet.  She immediately decided our bed was her bed.  Being she was small this wasn't a hindrance to our sleeping. 

Small is another thing.  We had never had a small dog.  All of our dogs have been 60 lbs plus.  This was a whole new experience.  A dog that actually fit on the bed with you.  Our other dogs all wanted to be in the bed but it was like having a hog in the bed.  Honey literally fit right in.  Each day ended with Honey still here.  Our other dogs were scratching at the door to be allowed in. 

After 5 days and no inquiries to our signs we decided that Honey was probably in her new home.  We introduced her to the other "pups".  Hoping they wouldn't eat her.  It took less than 30 minutes to find out there was a new alpha dog in the house.

Honey was at least 3 years old when she adopted us.  She has been with us seven years.  What have we learned about little dogs?  They aren't any different than big dogs except they have little widdlers and have to be let out more often.  What kind of dog is she?  I usually describe her as "Honey, who shrunk the border collie".   She is very smart (when she wants to be).  She doesn't like little kids (she snapped at the grandkids when they were little, a couple of times).  She adores my son and daughter(they are adults..lol). 

Honey has been a very sweet addition to our lives.

TRASH TO TREASURE

RAG QUILT FROM RAGS

After the blogs I wrote on "shaggy"quilts,  writing about the one that got me started,

I realized I had to make another trash to treasure. 

Literally this is another Shaggy quilt from rags.  The work shirts I used were in the use for paint clean-up and car washing box.  They were so worn they could not be given to Good Will or worn again.  Now they are re-born again into a quilt.  The next step for them when the quilt gets old and worn is to become

a dog bed and possibly a cover in the garden for frosty nights. 

It will be a while before it is headed to the trash again. 

The shirts yielded buttons for the button box, 8 1/2 inch squares and 6 inch squares (yes there is another trash to treasure in the box.)  Even the pockets were useful. If you look at the top row the squares contain the pockets.  This quilt is to be used in the den for cuddling under it while watching TV.  The pockets can hold the gizmos and tissues and even snacks.

The back was also pulled from the trash box.  

It was a flannel sheet and a flannel  blanket which were torn beyond repair.

The batting inside was poly batting that I knew I never wanted to use again for anything.  It was medium weight not thin.  Only recommendation I can make if you go with medium poly is to use a even feed foot.  It will keep the wrinkles to a minimum.

The original "Shaggy" was made, I think, in 2000. It was made with 6 1/2 inch blocks and a tremendous varieties of battings.  It is still very much a quilt and hasn't made it to the dog bed (although the dog does sleep on it).  It resides every night on our bed. (even through the summer).

This pix was just taken of the original.

As you can see I had no plans for how this would turn out.  I added pairs of rows at a time.  Not a very appealing pattern (I only wanted to find out if I liked making these quilts.)  I really thought the result would end in the dog house.  It makes up for its lack of beauty in its utilitarian self,

providing the most soft comforting covering.

Is there a trash to treasure in your future?

I can't think of a better way to go green or to keep something out of a land fill.

RAG QUILTING FOR LITTLE ONES

ANOTHER SHAGGY SAGA:

I spent the week caring for the grands in Florida.  I was prepared with hand projects to do on the plane (I can't stand to do nothing during the interminable waits at the airport.)  I also brought projects for when the kids went to bed .  One was an orange rag quilt I had cut out from the stash. 

When I arrived the granddaughter said she wanted to sew while I was there.  When she was 6yrs and 4 months we purchased a 3/4 size Janome for her.  She made her first quilt (at least the top).

Granddaughter sewing the border on her quilt.

She is standing on the dining room table holding her completed top which she had basted and started tying.  She pulled out the tying. She wanted me to quilt it on the machine.

It is made of four patch (6 1/2 inch squares) and 12 1/2 in white squares.  Her border is 6 1/2 inches.  She did all her own pinning and stitching (and sandwich basting).  She nested her seams like a pro.   She did not do the rotary cutting or the pressing.  I quilted it for her on my short arm Gamill quilt machine.

I decided she could probably make a shaggy quilt. (She is now 8 years and 5months.)  I handed her the 8 1/2 inch flannel squares and the 6 inch batting squares and showed her how to sandwich them.  She completed stacking the 49 blocks and said, "What do I do now?"  

"You have to sew an X over each block and join them together in rows." 

We proceeded in using Baba's system of Xing the blocks and joining as we went

(see previous blog http://gloriouscreations.blogspot.com/2010/12/raggy-or-shaggy.html ). 

It also works to keep the attention of an eight year old.  She was so pleased with her accomplishment of a row finished after Xing 7 blocks.  She did not act bored and couldn't wait till the completion of each row.  She was literally dancing around after finishing two rows.  She couldn't wait to sew them together and run to Mom and show her what she did.  In less than 6 hours she completed the 58 x58 inch quilt.     

Xing blocks for second row.

Still working on second row

Finishing the last seam. 

She discovered the heavy fabric needed a little tugging assistance to keep it straight under the presser foot.

A very happy granddaughter with a quilt for her mom in Mom's favorite color.  Baba clipped it for her.

Notice the machine is on a small kid's table and is just the right height for her.  To keep the foot pedal from sliding away from her during use we moistened a washcloth and put it under it.  (It wasn't wet enough to hurt the hardwood.)

She learned how to wind bobbins and thread her machine.  I took apart her machine manual and placed each page in a clear sleeve. (It makes it easier for little hands to hold and turn the pages.)  Showed her how to look in the back if mom wasn't around to help and look up for what to do if her machine knots up and other stuff.  Before I left I cut out 4 1/2 inch strips of soft ball fabrics she had picked out.  She will be attempting a 5 patch block on her own, with Baba emailing the step by step. 

Encourage your little ones to sew.  Shaggies are the best for learning control of the machine. Seams don't have to be perfect.  If you get a wrinkle no need to chastise.  When they are washed all the mistakes will be hidden by the natural flannel wrinkles.  A small doll quilt version of the shaggy would be a perfect starter quilt.  BTw..Grandaughters first Shaggy experience was as a six year old.  This one she even clipped herself.

RAGGY OR SHAGGY?

A rose is a rose, by any other name ...  It's the same with this technique of quilting.  When I saw my first one I nicknamed it "Shaggy".  There are many tutorials all over the Internet explaining how to make a Rag quilt.  I was intrigued when I first read about them but didn't want to waste a bit of my good expensive flannel and find out I despised this method (this happened with a stack and whack quilt!).  Instead I used old PJ's, old sheets, old flannel shirts, I even used scraps of batting (different weights and fiber contents).  It was the quilt that hooked me.  This sample quilt was confiscated by my husband, who sleeps under it every night  and sometimes carries it into the TV room.  It is the softest shaggy I have ever made. BTW, A month later he decided it wasn't long enough and asked me to add 2 more feet to it.  This was the first and last time I have or will add another row to a shaggy.  An already clipped and washed shaggy is a night-mare to sew another section to. 

I love to make them.  I have learned several tricks to keep them from getting boring (I have made over 100 of them). I will share what I have learned with you. 

This is one of the most recent Shaggies I have made.

It was made from scraps and stash.  Even the batting was scraps from the sides of quilts I had quilted on the quilt machine.  On the back is the last of 4 flannels I had in the stash (Dark blue, light blue, mint green and white).  The front is blue flowers with green leaves,  When you use a color on the back of the shaggy it shows through in the clipping very pastel from the original colors.

I am a big on, not wasting fabric.  I want to use every square inch.  I  decided to try 5/8 inch seams (instead of 1 inch) and clip seams every 1/8 inch (instead of the 1/4 inch or more suggested).  A narrower seam and closer clipping gave a chenille like feel to the exposed seams of the quilt.  Making them softer looking with a less peasant look.

This shaggy was made at the same time as the other quilt.  Hurray, my stash is totally void of all these flannels.  I used the Dark blue on the back. Solid dark colors on the back give an outlined look to the blocks on front.  Paring down my stash is my main objective during this strained economy (also a good excuse to buy more if I don't have the color I need..lol).

What size do I make the blocks:

How do I decide on the size of the blocks?  This is usually decided by the width of the fabric.  I divide the width and decide which size square will make the best use of the fabric and not have left over flannel, which I feel guilty about throwing out.  The other consideration is if I have a limited amount of the flannel I use the largest size I can cut, this means I will have less wasted yardage in the ragging of the quilt. (baby quilts will be so fancy when made with tiny 4 inch blocks and no batting, but you will be clipping for what seems forever...lol)  Needless to say the only fancy baby quilt I made was for my first granddaughter.

If I am making a New-Born's shaggy I like to use 5 inch blocks (this size has lots of clipping too), no batting (double flocked flannel makes the nicest new born shaggies).  Double flocked is what I call flannel that is fuzzy on both sides.  When you use this kind of flannel it is totally unnecessary to add batting, especially if using the smaller blocks.  When making a New-Born's shaggy you might consider a poly batting.  The reason I suggest this is because it is warm and very lightweight.  You don't want to have a heavy quilt for the baby  (This is also a point to consider if you are making a quilt for the elderly or someone convalescing).  I haven't been batting shopping lately.  There may be new very light weight cottons available or possibly the new bamboo ones come in the lighter weights.  I am all for using only products from renewable plant resources.  I have also found the expensive tightly woven flannels getting an even harder finish when washed and do not give a soft shaggy. 

Daughter's King Size Shaggy, front and back (2 rows are over the back of the fence.)

I made the King/Queen size shaggy for my Daughter from from expensive flannels and I used 100% thin cotton batting.  The quilt is so heavy it can not be washed in a home machine.  It is coming up ten years old and it still does not have the softness I prize in my Shaggy quilts.  This quilt was one of my first Shaggies.  I used the 1 inch seam allowance.  Harder finished flannels and those that are tightly woven do not fray as nicely.

Constructing a Shaggy:

When I make my blocks, I stack the sandwiches (the front and back fabric with the batting)  together before I start.  When I start Xing them I only "X" the amount I need for one row the length of the quilt.

I go back and pair them, until the whole row is finished.  I proceed to do the next row and then join the two rows.  I do this until I finish 1/2 the quilt (On a small quilt 48"(or less) I just "X" all the blocks first).  I began doing this to keep it from getting interminably boring. It seems to go faster.  Today I was clipping a king size shaggy I had put together last year, (we had been using it unclipped).  It reminded me how nice it was to clip half at a time when I was making them.  A Shaggy quilt this size is very hard to hold on your lap and clip.  My recommendation if making bed size shaggies is you make half at a time leaving the joining rows unclipped, then join the two halves and clip the two rows .

When Xing the blocks I use a larger stitch (why waste the thread). There is no stress on this part of the block, the stitching is just to hold the batting in place.  Some people use a walking foot.  I have found just a light tug as I am feeding the block through does the trick.  (If you get a wrinkle..it's not going to show when it is washed and shrinks up.) Another Thread hint; do not use old thread.  When you go to shake the lint out of the heavy wet quilt the thread will break. (King/Queen size need two people to shake them)

When joining a row of blocks to another row I always back stitch three times over the seam joint (don't forget to reset the stitch length to medium for stitching the seams).  I open my seams out  flat rather than nesting them.  It seems to make the clipping of the seams where they join easier.

When I join two long rows of blocks, I clip the perpendicular seams loose on both sides of the new seam.  This makes the shag clipping of the seams easier (On a queen size shaggy when you have all that quilt in your lap this is a great labor saver).  It makes it quicker to have all the seams loose so you can proceed to rag the edges. 

Washing the shaggy 

I love a regular agitator washer for Shaggies.  Fill the tub full and put your shaggy and a couple of big towels in (yes it isn't a full load).  You want it on the heavy cotton cycle.  It will really toss that blanket around in the water.  Wash only through one cycle (wash and wring out, stop the washer).  You do not need soap or hot water. Remove the Quilt and towels and take them out side and shake the stuffing out of them, lol, literally.  Return them to the washer (before putting them back in take a rag and wipe out any lint remaining on the sides of the tub.)  Restart the cycle on wash again and repeat the above moves.  I do this 4 times before I put it on a full cycle with hot water and 1/3 of the detergent I would normally use (the item isn't dirty after the four rinsings) and a shout color catcher if I have used solid colored flannels on the back.  After several uses of shout color catchers I am now using 3-4 of them in a wash just to make sure there is no bleed.  Some dark fabrics really bleed heavy...as in reds and purples are notorious.

If you want you can stop the wash during this last wash and shake the shaggy again then return it and finish the cycles (don't forget to shake those towels too).  Now throw it in the dryer with a fabric softener sheet.  check your filter every ten minutes, cleaning it. 

I now have a front loader machine which doesn't let me stop it mid cycle and remove the items.  It's the first time I cursed it.  The front loaded is a fabric pre-washers dream; it does not wrinkle the fabrics.  It does not beat up the shaggies enough so when I go to the dry cycle I put two flannel pillow cases with a pair of tennis shoes tied up inside, in with the shaggy and towels.  This helps to knock out more of the lint that the washer didn't dislodge.  (In the front loader I also run through 4 cycles but only get to shake when they finish.  BTW...don't forget to check the filter on your front loader between each use.)

I hope my suggestions to you, who are new to rag quilt making, helps the experience be more fulfilling.  A rag quilt is a use everyday quilt,  haul on a picnic quilt, throw on the floor, and make a tent quilt.  A cherished quilt by anyone who has one. The biggest plus is if you need a great gift quickly, A small rag quilt with 8 inch blocks can be made and finished in 48 hours or less.

COOKIE TIME IS ALL THE TIME

I went to look in my past blogs and discovered I had featured "My Favorite Cookie" in a previous blog.  I kid you not, that is the name of the recipe in the cookbook.  It has become a family favorite.  This link will get you to that blog:

http://gloriouscreations.blogspot.com/search/label/BAKING%3A%20COOKIES

I do have other cookies that are favorites and the following one jumps to the head of the line, right behind the above cookie.  I usually make them both at the same time because they are refrigerator cookies.  I make one day, then bake the next.  This recipe was right next to the other recipe in the book.

I found these recipes years ago in "The American Family CookBook"  Compiled by the Culinary Arts Institute in Chicago.  It was published first in 1971 (I have the 1974 edition)  Catalog card number 71-158818.  I recommend looking for this book in garage sales and resale places.  I have found so many great recipes in it. (My favorite herb bread is from here also. Recipe is in a previous blog)

December 3, 2011, Hints:
I have been baking some of the cookies and it occured to me to pass on some hints which I have remembered during this endeavor. 
If you have a convection oven and are using it inconvections mode lower you temps 25 degrees.
Turn your pans at least once during the baking ad exchange the shelves they are on.

"Coconut Classics"

1 cup butter

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

1 cup sugar

1 egg beaten

2 cups grated coconut

1 3/4 cups sifted all purpose flour

1/2  teaspoon baking soda

1.   Cream butter with extract; add sugar gradually, beating until fluffy.  Add beaten egg and beat well.

2.  Thoroughly blend in 1 3/4 cup coconut.

3.  sift flour and baking soda together; add in fourths to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each  addition.

4.  Knead lightly with finger tips, 5 - 10 times, until the mixture holds together.

5.  Shape into six 1 inch rolls; coat with the remaining coconut; wrap in waxed paper and chill for at least 3 hours.  I do mine overnight (i put all 6 rolls into a plastic bag even though they are wrapper in waxed paper.

6.   Cut each roll into 1/4 inch slices; place 3/4 inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. (you'll need a very sharp knife) 12-03-11: I use parchment.  (It isn't necessary but the cookies are very fragile when hot and it makes it easy to pull the sheet of them off the tray and onto the cooling racks.  they cool and are easy to remove after cololing.)

7.  Bake at 325F for about 15 minutes 12-03-11 check 1/2 way through the baking and rotate the tray.

It says it makes about 18 dozen cookies...I don't think I got that many

Wishing everyone the Happiest Holiday and a New year filled with love.
