Atkinson Designs is one of my favorite designers. I tried out this pattern right before the holidays. I made the 2 red/black ones for myself. The Mickey & Minnie bags were gifts to some<br />
sewing peeps. It's a simple bag with great results. I love when a first time project can be used for something.<br />

. Mom started cutting before she read all the directions and messed up the first cut . But she made it through it and came out with a really cute lap size quilt . Mom likes to make that first block to "see" what it's going to look like . I know now from her making it , that I would want all the big scale print in the center . Learn as you go , once you make the first one of that design , you really know how to do it the next time . I machine quilted it with a pantograph that Cindy left over here . Buzzin Around 's the name I THINK > :) It was a fun design . I got turned around twice and stitched over some areas coming off the bee's head . You gotta pay attention and not just roll with it . I used King TUT color # 990 green olives for the front and off white Bottom Line for the bobbin . I think I'm going to make one with scraps and put white where the green 's at . I got to clean up the Tin Lizzie and oil her up for the next top . I 'm going to try to get the table full of tops knocked out this year . I just have to quit making tops for the moment . I don't think that will happen !

Grandma's my dad's mom and Ms. Smith's my uncle's mother in law. Got that ? It entailed dragging old ladies from store to store , helping with car doors , canes ,grocery carts, loading the trunk, and then taking them to eat . Yes, My momma's a saint . Seriously ! Ms. Smith was the quilt maker from Tenn. . Grandma wanted to make one . Mom and I decided that we would like to give it a try . <div>
We would go to my uncle's house and we started with a simple strawberry quilt . Our background blocks were TORN from a white sheet . Oh yes , old school baby . We had to go fabric hunting with them to get just the right size polka dot for that strawberry and the just right green for the tops . Needless to say it was torture but we managed to hunt and gather the thread for the blanket stitch or buttonhole stitch and had our work cut out for us . </div>

After we made the top , we tied it with oh whatchamacallit , CRAP ! Ms. Smith wanted us to use a white sheet for the back but I showed up with blaring red . She wasn't impressed that I wasn't following her guidelines. I wasn't happy with the few ties in my wonderful strawberry quilt . I decide to hand quilt around the blocks . At the time , it was truly a nightmare . The blocks were out of a sheet and that is super hard to quilt through . I managed but it's not pretty . I took a class at Quilter's Confectionery to learn how to hand quilt . I had this quilt appraised years ago and was shocked that she said 550.00 . This is how I jumped into the world of quilting . I started reading everything I got my hands on and went to shops and asked lots of dumb questions. We had a rough start but so grateful that Ms. Smith took the time to teach us what she knew. Without her , what would I be doing and thinking and obsessing over if not my fabrics , patterns and UFOS ! </div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #444444;">Today is sew day in the sweat shop . I have a weekly meeting with Mom ,Dawn, Jeannie, and Rosa Lee . Everyone works on their own project . My project today is the pretty little pink piece . It's binding time ! I enjoy doing binding . There are two ways to cut it . Which route do you take ? I tend to stick with the way I was taught. I cut it on the bias . I lay it out and slice it on the 45 degree angle . How wide do you like yours ? I stick with 2 and half inches . Then I do the backwards L and chain sew it together . I have made it once on the straight grain .You will have to judge for yourself how well it wore on the quilt . Needless to say , I won't make straight grain binding ever again . </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Noreen , the owner , found 2 pieces to go with it . I really dig the pink . I purchased the orange too . I have another top to finish that will be this one's twin . We sat and talked about the money you have in a quilt and what would be a good selling price . I love talking to Noreen . I purchased some ticking to make something for the Tin Lizzie to help on the sides . I will have to splain that another day . I'm going down to the sweat shop and cut up my fabric and hopefully get the pink binding on today . I'm torn between the 2 pieces . Pink , i think for now . Heck , I have a second one to do so I will fight the lime green and orange piece WHEN I reach that point . </span></div>
