<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My sewing machine is an ancient but a goody. My machine was originally my nans but when she passed away my mum was given it but was to intimidated by all the buttons so passed it my way. Which was a blessing in disguise it was the reason I got into quilting and patchwork in the first place. She is older then me but runs better then me for sure. I just love her.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/j_saunders4/10720609976/" title="Untitled by Jasmine @ My Oh Sew Sweet Life, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="480" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3812/10720609976_17dd82a935_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But with that love comes some downfalls, like never having a manual, being EXTREMELY heavy or not being able to buy parts for her anymore which include an extension table which i have wanted for about...ever!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So thats were my little weekend DIY came in handy. I decided that i really did not want to dish out a heap of money to get a extension table made to fit my machine when i could do it myself!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If they can do it on pinterest then i can totally do it too. Although i have no experience with wood or power tools. This was sure to be a blast.. right?? I kid i kid it was so much fun. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/j_saunders4/10720523575/" title="Untitled by Jasmine @ My Oh Sew Sweet Life, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="480" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3744/10720523575_bbaf586957_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is the finished table!! I even counter sunk the screws on the top of the table, pretty damn proud of my effort.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A little washi tape round the edges to hide the hideous chip board and I am done. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I used a laminate chipboard shelf which i pulled out of a cupboard that we didn't need. and a broom handle for the legs. The laminate surface is great because its so smooth the the fabric wont get caught on anything. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now I just have to try it out. I will report back. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In other news i finished my scrappy trip around the world quilt top. Although I am calling this one my trip around the jelly roll. More on that later. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Over the last few months I have discovered this amazing thing called project life.

Finding the time to blog is getting harder.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Went to the Brisbane Art Gallery and had a look at the Quilts 1700 - 1945 collection currently in its last few days. It was very interesting and amazing to see that things haven't really changed that much.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This week I have been busy sewing my little heart out</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">At the start of the week I had a night full of sewing quilt backs together for 3 quilts so I could send them to my quilter the following morning. Thankfully I didn't fall asleep at the sewing machine.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am taking in part in my first fabric swap on flickr. We will be swapping low volume fabric so I am on the hunt for two low volume fabrics. I think this is the perfect way to start my weekend. You never know I might just end up with a little more then I need. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I think these two are my picks for this swap? what do you think?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is very late I know but the weekend was jammed packed with social events that its the only time I have had to sit down.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Friday night sew in has been and gone but I am a little disappointed to say that I didn't get a chance to sew on friday night instead I did my sewing on saturday at a quilting day we have once a month.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There were many more lovely quilts and blocks made that day but was hard to get snaps when I was trying to get my own project finished. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For a while now I have been noticing alot of people in the blogging and flickr world making projects by paper piecing. Now that just sounded scary to me {PAPER PIECING} eeekk! So I watched their beautiful blocks come together from afar until I noticed a post from the lovely <a href="http://ellisonlane.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/twinkle-twinkle-little-star-free-pattern.html" target="_blank">Jennifer @ Ellison Lane</a> quilts with a pattern for a lovely star that was paper pieced. I just jumped in head first and this is what happened! Two mug rugs for my mum and neighbour Jude.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I now think I am a little addicted because today I am attempting to make The Lone Starburst pattern from <a href="http://six-white-horses.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/lone-starburst.html" target="_blank">Anna @ The Six White Horses. </a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been wanting to take part in some online swaps for a while just didn't know if I was really ready. But I have jumped in head first with two swaps on flickr.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/modernscrappybitsswap/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="msbs by Laurel @ Patchinista, on Flickr"><img alt="msbs" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3813/9102892130_cbe9125c04.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The first is the Modern Scrappy Bits Swaps hosted by <a href="http://oneygirl-myquiltingadventure.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Leona</a> from Leona's Quilting Adventure. She has done a great job so far! For this swap we have to make our partner either a cup cozy, mug rug or coasters. I have never made any of the above but have been sketching some ideas lately.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/56212636@N07/9230253906/" title="IMG_4674 by jasmine.saunders4, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_4674" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5530/9230253906_92f9b61e7f.jpg" height="333" width="500" /></a></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/2211437@N24/" target="_blank">Triple-Zip Pouch swap</a> is the second swap I am apart of. This swap is hosted by <a href="http://quarterincher.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Stephanie</a> from Quarter Incher. For this swap we have to make our partner a pouch using a tutorial from <a href="http://aquilterstable.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/triple-zip-pouch-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Debbie</a> at a Quilters table. I have never made anything like this so it will be a challenge that I am up for!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/2211437@N24/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Triple-Zip Pouch Swap"><img alt="Triple-Zip Pouch Swap" src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o116/dazzlingshorty/pouchbutton.jpg" style="border: medium none;" /> </a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sign ups for both swaps have now closed but be sure to follow along if you have flickr. You will still have a blast.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Living about three hours away from the nearest quilt store/spotlight can be quite a nuisance for a quilter or crafter. So you have to be very prepared, have plenty of thread and solid white homespun in my case. But there are days when I just want to go buy new farbic!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So that's where the lovely world of internet shopping comes in. I have become quite addicted that's for sure, there are times where I have to refrain and restrain myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This week I needed to square up my <a href="http://jasminesaunders.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/pinwheels.html" target="_blank">pinwheels</a> and a shorter ruler, along with some new scissors and a new blade for my rotary cutter. Thanks <a href="http://www.ozquilts.com.au/index.html" target="_blank">Oz Quilts</a> for my lovely goodies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I do love getting parcels, Lyn my post lady is great and she will always let me know if I have a parcel. Thanks Lyn you are the best!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With my new 7.5" square I got a chance to square up my <a href="http://jasminesaunders.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/pinwheels.html" target="_blank">pinwheels</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Its all coming to together. Come back in a few days to see the finished quilt.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I made these block last year and got frustrated with them. I didn't know if to sash or not to sash. Well I have got them back out again and I am sashing them with a cute little aqua square were each corners meet. Its going to look darling.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I got the idea for these blocks from a video tutorial from the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5Ixvjje310" target="_blank">Missouri Star Quilt Company</a>. They have some pretty awesom video tutorials.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I am just waiting on a little parcel with a new 7.5" square to square the blocks up and I can sew them together hopefully this weekend. Fingers crossed it doesn't rain and we can't get mail.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I bought a new square ruler because I like to square my blocks before putting a quilt together especially with a block like this one which has alot of seams that have been cut and put back together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the past few months i have been working on some carpenters start blocks using this tutorial I found on Cheries blog <a href="http://sewandsoquilts.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/carpenters-star.html" target="_blank">Sew and So Quilts</a>. Its pretty much all HST and doesn't take long to piece. The only time consuming part of this block is the cutting, pressing and squaring of the blocks. If you work on a few at a time and chain piece it comes together quite quickly.</div>

Many of my friends and family are not at that stage of their life. But it just so happens that my partners sister had been expecting her third child so I was so excited!! Because now I had an excuse to make one. <div><br></div><div>No one knew the sex so I had to wait till bub was born! After nine long months I got the news from across pond that it was a BOY! So online shopping I went for some boyish fabric. Btw if you have never looked at all the amazing fabric specifically for kids then you should. It makes me clucky just looking at it ( but for the wrong reason of course) I just want to make more quilts :). <div><div><br></div><div>So after hours of window shopping I found one I thought would go great. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtpe7xatz854QiE6A3IGfpqjIp3x6EJlVyXSbobwoR-POD2xt-T41-imLwgyHU5iHcTjHHjpT2Xt0RksTYINmygdS5zMquASqip1_9YgitDEl11iUAV7Aikt0iSHVv7ocReEVzdM-0o49g/s640/blogger-image--1933172299.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtpe7xatz854QiE6A3IGfpqjIp3x6EJlVyXSbobwoR-POD2xt-T41-imLwgyHU5iHcTjHHjpT2Xt0RksTYINmygdS5zMquASqip1_9YgitDEl11iUAV7Aikt0iSHVv7ocReEVzdM-0o49g/s640/blogger-image--1933172299.jpg"></a></div><div><br></div>Bungle jungle by Tim and beck. </div><div><br></div><div>So I got 1 charm pack of that and 1 charm pack of moda Bella solids in white which made the whole quilt top come together a lot faster. </div><div><br></div><div>I did a basic chevron pattern using HST and it came together in less then a few hours. I always forget to take process photos. <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQVMYh7_5VS5P9tluOkvxwaY22aD37FrikZHjSjQAjgr46bsqTnIfmS7lscrRQbXwl-JtSjcsVw3dKxbfVE9Bmbf4PJ_DshmXfp7EJkMu3KlkU_iAXeXF2CKt2qAJpYXK5ncw6oQrEo3aM/s640/blogger-image-2070020600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQVMYh7_5VS5P9tluOkvxwaY22aD37FrikZHjSjQAjgr46bsqTnIfmS7lscrRQbXwl-JtSjcsVw3dKxbfVE9Bmbf4PJ_DshmXfp7EJkMu3KlkU_iAXeXF2CKt2qAJpYXK5ncw6oQrEo3aM/s640/blogger-image-2070020600.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I quilted this little baby myself which made it extra special.

I also find it easier to quilt with. Just my opinion though. </div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjciqxrco3C3ez0kg5Z8AY3iffIseUwBvmJyR6DvGPOq6gvhqxtWYvbbcI2qAMmqW4VrRGOTVzzwIX3E__Lo5Y0fRdu_NXXoRPub6W97JXqYyTSRr76eEYHo6ZAq2zhZwWvS-fcAWPjoPU-/s640/blogger-image--1082586816.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjciqxrco3C3ez0kg5Z8AY3iffIseUwBvmJyR6DvGPOq6gvhqxtWYvbbcI2qAMmqW4VrRGOTVzzwIX3E__Lo5Y0fRdu_NXXoRPub6W97JXqYyTSRr76eEYHo6ZAq2zhZwWvS-fcAWPjoPU-/s640/blogger-image--1082586816.jpg"></a></div></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So all wrapped up and sent off I hope that little bub enjoys it as much as I did making it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For now</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">- Jazz</div>Jazz @ My Oh Sew Sweet Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00189312758335486469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694301073945417868.post-6036216811836639882013-03-05T23:23:00.000-08:002013-03-05T23:23:13.028-08:00Gone But Not Forgotten<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So if you have noticed I have not been an active force on my blog for quite sometime. Many reasons have lead to my absence but I think the main one being time. It can be hard to juggle and multitask my time and I am an acclaimed procrastinator in my family so that does not help either. But seeing as it is a new year (and they say you should make a New Years resolution) I have made a pledge to myself to start blogging more (fingers crossed). To do this I thought it needed a revamp so I kinda changed the name to suite the direction that I see this blog moving towards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So to start this lovely and new year I will give you all a sneak peek of what I have been working on. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This block is a Carpenters star, Sort of looks like a swoon block. I am using material that I recently purchased from spotlight. I am in love with these two materials but not so much the rest that came in the bundle so I am on the look out for something else. The <a href="http://sewandsoquilts.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/carpenters-star.html">tutorial</a> for this block is very easy to understand. You should give it a go it is very effective.</span></div>

I am still alive but I have had so much on my plate.<br />
<br />
Firstly I have come back to Australia for 4 weeks just because i felt like it and also because I missed my sewing machine and my mothers large pantry. So I have been enjoying myself far too much.<br />
<br />
Secondly I have been bombarded with assement pieces for uni. When you have 5000 word essays to do you do not get much time to blog.<br />
<br />
And third and final excuse, pinterest has taken over my spare time. I am so addicted.<br />
<br />
But all excuses aside I have many things to share over the next week or two don't you worry.<br />
<br />
Ill be sharing some projects that I have been working on since I have been home. Some quilt tops that have been sitting in my cupboard for way to long. A few recipes of things I have made while I have been home. And a few other things up my sleeve, they are all fabulous by the way. But you will all have to come back and have a look for yourself.<br />
<br />
For now...<br />
<br />

But I do have an excuse, I have been studying feverishly for my exams. But now I am on my one day break so I thought I should post something. So I thought I would show you the second quilt I made, mainly because its the only quilt I have with me. The rest are at my mums house waiting to be quilted.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">So.... this quilt was my second quilt ever!! as you may know my boyfriend is Irish and when he got a hold of my first quilt and my mums and our neighbours he wanted one for himself. The only thing he wanted was a green quilt, can you believe it?? So i set out to make him a GREEN quilt (btw I don't really like his take on green). This is the result of his annoying and pestering efforts, a green Irish quilt!!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/56212636@N07/5763912650/" title="IMG_0800 copy by jasmine.saunders4, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0800 copy" height="265" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5304/5763912650_12d10866ce.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">This quilt was so time consuming, but I LOVE it!! Yes I said I didn't like green, but this is an exception.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">I got many funny looks from old time quilting friends who thought I was crazy making this quilt. But I did it and I love it. I snuggle up to it everynight.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/56212636@N07/5763912748/" title="IMG_0802 copy by jasmine.saunders4, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0802 copy" height="266" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2778/5763912748_9fe49b8dbf.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">These are my favourite two stars, the one below was my way of putting some colour (other then green) into the quilt.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/56212636@N07/5763912834/" title="IMG_0804 copy by jasmine.saunders4, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0804 copy" height="266" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3638/5763912834_da6910eba3.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">Below was the backing of the quilt. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/56212636@N07/5763913488/" title="IMG_0805 copy by jasmine.saunders4, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0805 copy" height="266" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3454/5763913488_0fc0224f5b.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
This quilt was the first quilt I made all by myself. I had to learn how to do flying geese and they were so hard the first few times, but they got easy after that. I did not quilt this one myself, do not think I could have if i tried, its HUGE! I don't know the exact measurements but it fits on a queen with hangover. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">I hope you enjoy this post, come back soon as I will be showing of some new fabrics additions to my stash. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">p.s. Sorry for the bad photos, it was raining and the light was horrible, I tried every room possible!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

Of course i didn't have anything on hand to whip up something so we had to go without.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">But my mission today was to make something sweet (and easy).

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
