Sorry I was gone so long

2010-11-05T14:13:00.000-07:00

I have had a very busy life and a bit stressful with grankids & family, a few emergencies. I have this blog to help my students, friends, and TextureMagic & Thread clients. So I am trying to get my sewing room in order along with my life. I was given the MOST wonderful gift of a Treadle sewing machine. A Singer I will be posting pics soon I hope, it a bit fancy. The same wonderful woman, my DaughInLaw's grandmother Betty Craze. I hope I can be like her and she is a beautiful woman, and SO giving to everyone. You can see her on FB. She also gave me some old quilts. I am going to find out there story.

To students feel free to comment and email me questions. I will be trying to set a regular time to meet. Everyone in Vancouver, WA is invited to come sew.

Expo

2010-10-06T23:36:00.001-07:00

Had a good time at the Portland Quilt Expo. I volunteered 2 days so I got in for Free and took 2 classes. The Notions class, always good, and I got to take Brazilian Embroidery. I love hand embroidery and Brazilian looks even cooler. I white gloved a couple of times so I got a chance to talk to people. I found out that Superior Threads didn't have there sample book so I directed 2 people to a couple of quilts that had Texture Magic in them. So now I was thinking that I needed to do a Texture Magic class at Expo next year.

Now off to Retreat.

Children of the InnerLight Saying for Mothers Day

2010-04-27T11:37:00.000-07:00

This is from Children of the Inner Light I love you stuff. She did fabric a couple of times. My first pieced quilt has several pieces of her fabric.

""When I was a child, I did not understand all that a Mother gives through the years...but as I have grown, I have realized just how much your love and encouragement have fostered my growth. Thank you for being my Mother!""

Crying-it-out 'harms baby brains'

2010-04-27T10:48:00.000-07:00

I found this so very interesting. I knew in my gut not to let babies cry and cry. As I get older the more I learn about raising kids, so I hope my children listen to me when I suggest things to them about raising their kids. I made LOTS of mistakes and I am trying to change that behavier in this family.

new book called The Essential First Year - What Babies Need Parents to Know.

One is not talking about a wakeful baby lying there gurgling, one is talking about a baby that is crying hard and nobody is responding.

"When that happens, and particularly if it happens over a long period, the brain chemical system releases cortisol and that is very bad for brain development.
"Some neuroscientists describe it as toxic."

The psychologist and parenting expert, who first found fame in the 1970s with her book, Your Baby and Child, said the important thing was for a parent to respond.

The mother-of-two said it was not necessary for the parent to discover why the baby was crying.
"If you do not respond and if you refuse to respond, the baby knows no response is coming," she added.
"The reason that a baby gives up after half an hour, three-quarters of an hour or an hour is that it has given up and that its expectations have been altered.
"I've heard it said that babies stop crying because they have learned that mummy wants them to go back to sleep.
"Babies are not capable of that sort of learning."

Crochet Baby Socks and hat

Texture Magic Blankee

2010-03-29T23:47:00.000-07:00

I made a couple little Blankee's for grandBabies. I made them using Fat Quarter of Minkee and cotton, batting and TextureMagic.

The green one I simply sewed squares with a wavy stitch 2" apart. I did the binding before I shrunk it up.

The pink one I used the wavy stitch and did 2" sq's and then did some stitching on the curvy parts of the paisley design so the sq's end up about 1" apart

We will see how the granBabies like them. These are there Travel Blankee's

In trying to make others happy I find happiness also. I have always liked RWE. I feel a kinship to him because my grandfather shared his name. My grandfather was Ralph Waldo Emerson Curry Sr. I wish I had known my grandfather.

Quilting, Sewing Show

2009-11-21T11:46:00.000-08:00

I went to the show the last 2 days and saw lots of cool quilts and even bra's. A local woman does Bra Parties to fit you proper and has a couple things to suck you inand hold everything. I want to have a party!!!! Anyone want to come??
I saw NO Texture Magic at the show , how SAD. So I asked everyone, they sort'a knew what it was, had not seen yet. So I gave out info and an order sheet with my name on it. One vendor gave me a piece of fabric to texturize and give back to her. I will do that today. I gave a pkg to Elinor Peace Bailey to play with. Hope she like it.

Quilt Stash Song | Superior Threads

I love this song. .................Tish

Quilt Stash Song Superior Threads:

"Where Did I Hide My Stash?

Words by Bob & Heather Purcell
Music & Recording by Todd Purcell
© 2008

I just got back from the quilt shop,
Now I gotta hide my stash.
Don't want hubby to find it,
It's worth far more than cash.

Fat quarters in the trunk,
End bolts under the bed.
Boxes stored at Betty's house,
Gotta keep this all straight in my head.

Batiks in the bedroom closet,
Hand dyes under the sink
Prints and sateens in the pantry,
Oh! What would the neighbors think!

Now it's time to use my fabric.
I'm searching in a mad dash.
I can't remember where I put them.
Where did I hide my stash!?

After days of searching I found it.
But it's far too beautiful to cut,
I'm off to the quilt shop to buy more,
Help! Will I ever get out of this rut?

I just got back from the quilt shop,
Now I gotta hide my stash.
Don't want hubby to find it,
It's worth far more than cash.

Now I just got back from the quilt shop,
And I've gotta hide my stash.
Cause you don't want hubby to find it,
It's worth far more than cash."
