So your printer didn't let you print the perfect template for "Taking Names"

How horrid for you.

Technology sometimes does the opposite of rock. Not sure what exactly that would be .....Technology Hard Places? Technology Rolls? .....but my utmost apologies to anyone who landed here because you bought my "Taking Names" pattern as a download and could not for the life of you get the template to be the right size. Thank you for coming to the place I directed you rather than throwing it down in disgust. As getting the right size on my own printer can be a challenge, to ask me to do the same for all of you would be an exercise in complete futility.

To quickly and easily whip up the right sized template, you will need:

• one sheet of paper (8 1/2" x 11")
• a pen or pencil
• a ruler with a 60 degree line

1. Place the paper on a flat surface in the landscape formation.
2. Draw a line exactly 9 1/4" long no more than 1/4" up from the bottom edge of the paper.

It really is okay if it isn't exactly parallel to the bottom of the paper.

 3. Place your ruler's 60 degree line directly on the line you drew, with the right edge of the ruler lined up with the right end of your drawn line.

 

4. Draw a line all the way along the ruler's right side, extending the line all the way up to the top of the paper.

 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 along the left side of the bottom line.

6. The intersection of the sides of the triangles should be 8" from the bottom line and centered perfectly.

7. Cut out along lines. Done.

This tutorial can be used to make any sized 60 degree equilateral triangles. As long as you know how long your sides are supposed to be, you are golden.

65 Shades of Dinner

Why yes, I am blatantly riffing off the name of an actual cookbook, brought to my actual Wine Club meeting by actual Wine Club member Amy S., and which was given to her by her actual mother, making the rest of our actual mothers look like nuns.

You know you want to click to look inside. Go to amazon, I can wait.

Aside - Yes, I know the cookbook is a riff off a ridiculously horrifically written book that I cannot believe my book club made me suffer through, biting my lip all the way out of agony for the English language and the lost art of editing. Note that Wine Club is capitalized in this post, but book club is not. They need to earn that status back.

Anyhoo, this post is for my friend Nicky, who happens to be in said book club and felt as I did about said ridiculous "book", and who upon hearing that I had an estimated 80 or so dinner menus in our regular family dinner rotation was in awe. And shock. And slight disbelief, although she is too nice to ever accuse me of out-and-out lying. So rather than making such an accusation outright, she kindly challenged me to write them all down for her,"So I can add some things to the mix." Since I love her,  and since I have already influenced her to make a weekly menu board like mine in her own kitchen so that her family gets off her back on Sunday evenings about what they will be eating for dinner on Wednesday like mine finally has done, I agreed to do so, and in doing so I hope to break her out of the 10-15 recycled dishes cycle she is currently in, and with which all of us who grew up in the 70s are well familiar. Say it with me now - "Tacos, spaghetti, hamburgers, chicken, mac and cheese - REPEAT!" Provided I did not have to also list the various sides I make along with the main dishes, I was good with it all. Actually I could use some help in the side dish department, but don't tell Nicky that. She thinks I am superhuman cook extraordinaire and I want her to continue to worship me.

Here we go, a list of everything I make more than twice a year, which turns out to be only 65, but in all fairness items with an ** could actually count as more than one as they are prepared slightly differently each time, which would bring me closer to my estimate.

1. Salmon with mustard wine sauce

Feel free to print and keep as a reference for your own menu planning. You know you want to.

I also enjoy making a couple of new recipes each month. Some end up in the rotation, some are thrown out onto the street and eaten by neighborhood dogs. Tonight I am trying "Bobby Flay chicken", as you can see by the below photo of my handy dandy dry erase menu board. You can also see that Paige, my resident spelling non-genius, enjoys helping plan the menu.

So close on the word "chicken." And yet so far. So very, very far.

I'll let you know if it makes the cut.

The Great Rainbow Balls Takeover and OI Raffle Quilt

It's officially Mud Season! And what does that mean? Well, this year it means the Rainbow Balls Takeover of the Lawrence Library art gallery.

Every March, my Squanicookies quilt guild hangs a mini quilt show of our coolness in the art gallery of our local library. It is always amazing and stunning, and not to brag (too much), but it is the most popular of all of the different art shows that go in there each year. I think it may be because our brand of art comes in so many sizes that we can totally fill the walls floor to ceiling in a way other types of art cannot. But I digress in order to brag. 

I was unable to help set up the show this year, but was thrilled to check it out one day after school and lo and behold, two of my tester participants from the "Kickin' Stash" group quilt had finished their quilts and put them in the show. As you may recall, Paige suggested the names "Rainbow Balls" or the forever classy "Blue and Purple Balls" as a name for "Kickin' Stash", and these two quilts do give her argument some merit. I love that Barbara T (quilt on wall in above photo) "borrowed" some blocks from another friend who participated, so she only had to make a few extra to complete her baby quilt. Angie C (quilt on piano) made two borders pink and two blue, which is a blatant deviation from the pattern. Who said she could do that? Well, me, in any given lecture, actually. I love it.

Also showing in the photo in almost the dead center is an "All-A-Flutter", my prairie point heart pattern that was in Quilter's World earlier this year, also made by Angie. She's our resident overachiever after all. I love that Paige's reaction to this whole show was "Mom! This show couldn't even happen without you." Untrue, but swoon.

For your viewing pleasure, some more photos of our show:

Angie also made the funky heart one on the bottom here. Yes, we all roll our eyes at her. The top one is all Jinny Beyer fabrics and is very stunning. I think it was made by Marie A, who also is quite prolific.

Made by Regina M from a kit. Regina does beautiful work but claims to be a beginner. She is crazy.

 Aside: The ornament quilt above was designed by Ann Lauer. I think she may be a liker on my FB page, and I hope she sees this.

We had a workshop where people made the braided quilt on the right; unfortunately I don't know who did that one but it is lovely. Cath H did the black and white one with the pop of orange. Love.

I have no idea who made any of these. Angie probably made them all. But do keep the bottom right one in mind for a moment or two from now.

Some cute small quilts. And some random flowers.

Don't know who made these, but we have to love them.

 Wasn't that fun? Don't you feel like you were there?

Now, check out the quilt below, which is not currently hanging off my deck but it looks so cute there I probably should have just left it. Also check out that blue blue sky as exhibit A as to why I love New England winters. The 6" of snow still on the ground at the end of March this year is NOT a reason, but that isn't "normal." It is, however, "annoying."

So this quilt is made from the same fabrics as that one I told you to make note of up there (Basic Grey, good luck finding them as they are a year old). Totally different looks to them, though, since this one was made with a few slices of layer cake (ie not the whole stack) and a focus fabric and the one up top was a jelly roll.

I started this quilt about a year ago, trying to replicate how I had made a quilt that now resides on Greta's bed. Unfortunately for me, I never wrote down what I was doing, and I never could figure out how to make the blocks like I had the first time. So the whole project ended up in my UFO pile until this year's DAGMT, when I pulled out some of the blocks and trimmed them so they fit together and whipped up this baby quilt.

To look at the UFO basket you'd never know it was gone, but I know, and that makes me happy.

It also makes me happy that this baby quilt has been donated to The Alle Shea Project in Rochester NY, to be raffled off during their "Walk N Wheels" event on May 4 at North Ponds Park in Webster NY. The Alle Shea Project was founded by Kim and Angelo Colazzo to raise awareness for Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a genetic brittle bone disease that claimed the life of their daughter Alle Shea after only five weeks of life. They have done an amazing job as a grass roots cause and I wanted to help out in some way because Kim was actually my BFF in elementary school as well as our moms being our Girl Scout troop leaders and very good friends for life themselves. We'd lost touch over the years but through the power of FB have reconnected and I am honored to be able to do even a small thing to help them honor the daughter they lost. I wish them all the best in their fight for awareness.

Up next....time to fight with the weather, quilt rack, and camera again to get a photo of Taking Names before I lose my mind. The failed attempts have been stunningly disastrous so far. Wish me luck.

Yay! New Adventures in Designing Fun Products!

I truly cannot tell you how excited I am to finally be posting this today. It's a venture several months in the making, and while most of you will just go "Okay then. She needs to get out more" and all of you will think "One would think she would have come up with a better title for this post in all that time", I hope at least six or seven of you will share my enthusiasm and love this as much as I do.

So who has heard of the Yay! Life! company? I hope a few of you, because they are hands down the best example of American small business gumption and spirit I have encountered, ever. Yay! Life! makes cute, often hilarious, refrigerator magnets that allow all of us to express what it is we Yay, be it a favorite food (Clams, Tacos, Lobstah - they even spelled it correctly!), a favorite sport (Swimming, 26.2, Wrestling), the natural world (Compost, Organic, Ladybugs), or even just being silly (Honey Badger, Sock Monkeys, Cowboy Butts). Yay! Life! is based in Colorado, run by a husband and wife team apparently unafraid to make themselves look silly on their website or catalog - which of course drew me to them instantly - who started the business in their Denver studio in 2010, moved to their garage, and finally a real warehouse all within two years of spreading the Yay! joy. All of their magnets and displays are made locally; they have teamed with Easter Seals to place 19 individuals of varying levels of learning and physical challenges in their warehouse as packers, all of whom have a full color photo and their name on the back of the catalog.

I. Love. This. Company.

My teamup with them began, unbeknownst to Yay! Life!, on Christmas morning. My sister had attached Yay! magnets to several of our gifts (Wine for me, Beer for husband, Clams for my dad, Compost for my aunt) , and they totally cracked us up.

I mean really, if those don't at least make you smile a little, I worry about you.

Like a smart company, Yay! Life! had their website on the back of the magnets, so I checked it out the next day. Imagine my horror when they didn't have Quilts. Or Fabric. I had to sit down and reassess my love for them for a second or two.

But lo and behold there was a place to contact them if you had a new idea. So I did. And I waited a few weeks.

I didn't hear from them right away, but I was undaunted, and knowing that fabric was my own true yay, I decided to see if I was the only one or if I was on to something. Many of you may remember the seemingly random survey I conducted on my business FB page in late January, asking what word excited you more, "Quilting" or "Fabric". See? I wasn't just passing the time of day with you, I was using you as market research. I am sneaky, aren't I?

The response was about a 70/30 split in favor of Fabric being the more exciting word, and several people commented it was because one can do so many more things with fabric than just quilt. Exactly, hotties. Fabric can be purchased just because you love it. Fabric doesn't guilt you out every time you look at it on your shelves in the manner that a half finished quilt sends stinging eyeball rays of guilt at you every time you pass it on the UFO pile. Fabric can be fondled, loved, and rolled around in naked in a way that a quilt just can't be. Fabric rocks.

After my survey, I sent another plea to Yay! Life!, stating my case that I really thought they needed a Fabric magnet. This time I got somewhere, and I was able to special order a Yay! Fabric! magnet, which I am bizarrely honored to be the ONLY purveyor of (for the time being, anyway) in the entire world. And how darn cute is it?

If you don't Yay fabric, you aren't a real quilter. Period.

Since I knew I wanted to carry some of the other sewing and quilting related magnets too, I checked out what might fit from their line of yays. While they didn't have quilts, they did have quilting, so that was for sure in. But I was kind of shocked that the Quilting one was so, well, blah.

Right?

 I felt it needed some color. So in my email and phone discussions with Rachelle, I (hopefully) politely brought up that I was kind of surprised by how washed out the quilting mag was and because quilting was such a vibrant and colorful art, shouldn't it be a little brighter? I helpfully (ha!) suggested a couple of brighter color combos, and hoped she wouldn't think me too pushy. At first, she did politely (for real) decline my idea, as the manufacturer was set with this design template, but as our emails progressed in talking about my order, she came out as a new quilter, asked my advice on sewing machine purchase, and suddenly convinced herself to change the quilting mag.

You don't think quilting can change the world? It just changed a magnet!

Yay! Colors!

While I was at it, I also ordered some other titles that I thought quilters would enjoy.

Yay! They are finally here!

You want Yay! Cowboy Butts!, you gotta go to them directly. But you want these? The magnets will of course be in the NEQDC vending booths at various shows this season, as well as coming with me when I speak at guilds. If you simply must have one, and I can't see why you wouldn't feel you must, they are also available for purchase through PayPal on the Patterns page of my blog.

Yay!

The Winter Schminter Winner Schwinner

That's even hard to look at, let alone say.

As always, I am thrilled so many of you stopped by during the recent blog hop. To the many of you who became followers, bless you for making my day. To the many of you who had such lovely things to say about my blog being more fun than a barrel full of variegated thread (and seriously, how fun would that be?), bless you for making my head big for a moment or two at a time until the glow of my awesomeness was overcome by someone not having clean pants to wear to school and we were back to reality. To those of you who embraced the new definition of "geek" and made up your own words like "nutbird" and "yardening", I have a very special place for you in my heart.

To those who entered the giveaway, the bad news is most of you didn't win. But the good news is that one of you did - Sarah J.!

Sarah is a new follower whose number (16) was chosen by the random number generator. She geeks "quilting, science, and kids" and gives us this classically fantastic quote "My five year old son knows what a uterus is and that makes me happy." I really could not be more happy that her number was picked because for that sentence alone I wanted to give her a prize.

Congratulations Sarah! This lovely gift will be all yours!

Sorry I couldn't find any uterus fabric for you.

I really love these blog hops not only because I get so many new blogworld friends, but because the comments really make me feel like I get to know my audience better. I loved learning about what everyone loves to geek; plenty of Downton Abbey (forgive me, I'm trying, but can't get the crazed appeal beyond the clothes are stunning and Elizabeth McGovern can do anything) and Cake Boss, gardening, other hand crafts, and cooking, but some interesting ones were thrown in there too, like vintage cookbooks, accounting, and "old vinyl", which I have to assume means records and not that she likes to go on tours of kitchens from 1965. I also had to look up a couple, "Kumihimo braiding" and "envies", one of which I now realize my daughter uses to make friendship bracelets, and the other which I am just baffled by even after looking it up. But to each their own. As long as everyone geeks something!  

In Market Prep Insanity news, this week has been full of trying to get Taking Names done. It's going to be at least another week, but I am feeling more hopeful that this is not going to be the pattern process that never ends. They all feel that way at some point, some for longer than others. A preview of some new blocks I made that I truly love.

These purples just make me go "MMMMMMM"

News flash - I don't love orange, but I do love this block. Another bit of irony in my creative life.

My studio is in perhaps the most frightening state of creative mode it has seen in months due to all these scraps having to be auditioned. The rest of my house is also in creative mode, but for that I really don't have a great excuse. I'm really excited about this sample of TN, though, because it was inspired by a lecture my friend Judy Damon gave recently for our guild, all about color and using the color wheel for more than just a pretty picture on the wall and what "tint" really means beyond "what one does to one's hair to look prettier." I'm going to call this sample "Taking Compliments" or "Taking Complements,"  depending on who I would rather have think I spelled it wrong - quilters or grammarians. Judy will know what I mean, as will any of you smartypantses who know all about the color wheel.

Until the mood strikes me to overshare of myself with all of you again.....

Winter Schminter - Blog Hop and Summery giveaway

Quilting Gallery claims it is winter. Here in New England we call March "mud season", that special time of year when the nights are cold and the days are warmer, which leads to sap buckets
lining the trees of Main Street,

Or plastic bags. Whatevs.

deer in the backyard eating our old Halloween pumpkins,

The smart ones know they are safer from me in the back yard than on Main Street.

  and the frost coming out of the ground to leave big old globs of mud pretty much everywhere.

Isn't nature fun?

It is at this time of year that I am particularly thankful to my husband for being alive, as the children have made me promise that if he dies we can replace him with a dog. I for one am praying neither of these events ever happens, because I recall all too well my mother mopping up muddy paw prints for the months of March, April, and part of May. Plus he lifts heavy things, and knows with one look at me whether it is a little wine glass evening or a big wine glass evening; I'm not at all sure I'm up to teaching a dog how to use a wine opener.

So, if you are new here, yes, I do enjoy sarcasm and irreverence and self-depreciating humor with the best of them, and I hope you do too! I started this blog as a companion to my website a few years ago to give me a space to vent, hold court, tell stories, etc in a place where I didn't have to be completely professional, and somehow it has taken over as the place people go to rather than my website. I'm glad, because this is where you get the real me, whackadoodleness and all.
 
January and February saw the start of my latest group quilt project "Taking Names" and the second annual "Drop and Give Me Twenty" event. Both were great fun and excellent opportunities for all of you bloglanders join in some of my daily fun, and if you didn't participate I hope you'll check out some of the fun we had. Here are a couple of my DaGMT finishes:

For the next few months, the the only thing I can promise about visiting QHH will be you will have a front row seat to watch me spin myself up into a state of panic and mayhem as I prepare to be a first time exhibitor at Spring Quilt Market in Portland.

Much like one coming down with the flu, I alternate between hot flashes of inspiration and confident thoughts of "I got this, baby," and cold sweats of sheer horror when I think about all I need to accomplish in the next less than ten weeks. I've secured some slave labor in the form of Kelli Fannin, whom I met on line and have yet to see in person. I'm that trusting. Many of you may know her too from her fantastic blog "Seriously......I Think iT Needs Stitches." We've bonded via blogging, email, and FB, so of course it only follows that she would agree to help out in Portland, run with some amazing ideas about the booth, and agree to share a hotel suite with me even though I may turn out to be a psycho. Both of us will be blogging from the show, so be sure to check it all out.

To celebrate these last few days of winter and of me having a shred of sanity left before the true Market prep crazies hit, I am giving away a yard of a summery batik and a pattern for a tote by Studio Aika, along with handles. The fabric should be enough for the cover and lining of the bag.

All this can be yours!

To enter to win, you must do two things:

1. Become a follower of my blog. So easy! Just click on "join this site" over there on the right sidebar above all the gorgeous faces of current followers and you are done. If you are already a follower, you obviously don't have to do this. Just mention that you are already in your comment so that I can feel all excited that you found me somehow in the past.

2. Our local library is doing a promo for "Love Your Library"week next month asking "What do you Geek?" Apparently "geeking" is now a term for being interested in something and going about learning about it/participating in it for fun. We all geek quilting, obviously. I want to know what ELSE you geek, be it cooking, solving molecular equations, travel, architecture, Downton Abbey, whatever. So in the comments, tell me what you geek. I want to make sure all of my readers are well rounded and geeky quilters.

As for what I geek, it's definitely history. Huge history geek. Send me to a museum, let me read a fantastically written and researched historical novel, show me a Civil War soldier's uniform in a case at a local library, you name it, I'm on it. I've even gotten two of three of my children to prefer a historical house tour over a day at the water park and the six year old can tell you more about Abe Lincoln than I can. Bizarrely, though, I really dislike reproduction fabrics and extremely traditional patterns in quilts and am not all that excited by antique quilts.

So follow and geek it up, hotties! Thanks for participating and enjoy the blog hop!

No Sucking Head Wound, No Entry

Today was the sixth snow day of the school year, fourth in a month, coming close on the heels of the Northeast's yearly study in ridiculousity February Break week; my "Taking Names" quilt was in over 100 pieces on my studio floor, and my machine quilter told me last night that if and only if I got it to her by tomorrow at noon she would be able to get it done for me before she has shoulder surgery on Monday. Before I even got out of bed a friend asked if I could have her daughter over for a while to play as she too had a crazy day ahead. Because I am awesome, and because sometimes more is better and avoids fighting amongst my three, I said yes.

But clearly the situation was not ideal. It was to be me and the quilt vs five girls ages 6-11 for much of the day. The smart money was on the five girls.

But I am mom, and I can pull out the Sucking Head Wound clause, and pull it out I did, gathering all five of them in a cute little clump and informing them that "Unless one of you is unconscious, suffering from a sucking head wound, or have been on fire for more than 10 seconds, I'm not coming up from the basement until this quilt is together." I also pulled out some bags of cookie mix and told them to bake. You so don't want to know what the kitchen looked like. But I do have to say they were all awesome the entire day. Plus no one bled or erupted in flame, which is such a bonus. I'll take cookie mix on every surface for good behavior and uninterrupted work time any day.

Not a great photo, and I'm learning that this green fabric is not the best to photograph, but two of my helpers were able to hold it up an hour ago because I did get the top together. I really like the layout, and I am considering some covered buttons in a complementary bright color in the center of the hexis. What do we think?

This photo didn't make the cut because it pretty well sucked, but I had to show how cute Paige was as she held her corner.

So happy to have a top despite the odds today. Market is not getting any further away after all!
