I also have some cute Memory Bears I can show off. We make the bears from a shirt of a loved one who has passed on. These bears are proving to be a popular Christmas present this year:<br />

We had several items on our "to-do" list we wanted to make for the few summer craft fairs we do....here are the results of the upcycling / recycling / repurposing of vintage chenille into new quilts:<br />

And it's already the end of March.....Long Island Quilt Show PicturesHow has March 30, 2014 already come around?? I know - I've been hibernating with the harsh winter. I like winter - happy to have as much snow as we can get! I love going out to play in it, build a snowman....shovel (when my back isn't screaming), and then come in for a hot chocolate with mini-marshmallows. I also like days where I can stay in my PJs and clean, sew, relax. The winter gives me that downtime I need. BUT, that being said, I have to go to work - and I could do without commuting in the cold and snow! Obviously, I need a better plan.....my lottery dream hasn't yet come to fruition.<br />

Sorry for my absence again....but I'm not too sure too many people have missed me judging by the number of "comments" I get on my posts! ha ha ha<br />
<br />
Wanted to show-off four newly finished vintage chenille quilts that are now listed in our shop. These are truly a one-of-a-kind gift....maybe for that friend who decorates in shabby-chic decor? Or something to cover your lap while on the couch? Or a nursery? Who would you say would be a good recipient?<br />

I didn't realize it was back in May that I last updated my blog. I get lazy with photoing in the summer because we do a couple nice craft fairs, so I'm usually sewing and saving as stock. At the end of the fairs, THEN I will post to Etsy and our own web-store. I figure, "why go through the effort when it could sell without?"<br />
<br />
But, in the meantime, I did complete and post these two new items. First, a table runner in RUBY fabrics designed by Bonnie and Clyde for Moda:<br />

And a Happy Happy Birthday to my niece Emilia who is 6 today!<br />
<br />
I have not yet sewn with batik fabrics, and saw a gorgeous strip batik quilt that I instantly liked. I then had the bee-in-my-bonnet to make a batik quilt. I wanted beachy-batiks so I found "Tonga Treats" with blues, teals, and yellows. I then went to Joanns to find a border and back fabric. Here is the resulting top:<br />

I will head out to my mom's this weekend so I can get the batting and finish it up. Yay! I'm hoping it sells at one of the beach fairs we do. I think it would be great for a baby or toddler, but it is big enough to also work for an adult - or as a wall hanging.<br />

The past few weeks I've been to Florida twice - and finished up those quilts I had posted the pictures of the tops - and then visited a friend. I have no sewing to show for the weekend - boo!! But I do have some new gift sets to show off....<br />

It's already 6:30 EST - no idea where this weekend went. I'm hoping to be more productive in 5 days time!

Today is my first day fever-free, but after spending a congested sleepless night, I still feel like crap. To compound, Mr. Olive has been working all day, which is GREAT, but not so much when I'm not feeling 100%. Little Olive is past her week-long fever. I have been dying to make a black and white quilt top so the fastest I could do was the race quilt because I wasn't sure when I was going to hit-the-wall. This is the fifteenth quilt top I've completed since the beginning of the year! I'm so proud of myself! :-) I still have some fabric to sew-up, but I'm definitely past the half-way point. This is Riley Blake's "Tuxedo" is the race quilt pattern:<br />

Will be consulting with my partner as to border color - do we go with a pop of color? Red? Yellow? Green? Thoughts?

I'm not Irish, but Mr. Olive's family is, so Little Olive is too. I like to celebrate all holidays, but completely forgot to wear green today. Sigh. And I am too lazy to change. For my weekend sewing accomplishments, I finished another lap quilt / throw quilt in Kate Spain's "Serenade" fabric line by MODA fabrics. It is full of "woodsy" colors like burnt orange, slate blue, gray, browns, mustard yellow, but then has a twist of purple:<br />

I am thinking to border it in an orange and then back and bind in a tan. I'll have to see what my partner Mother Olive has to say on the subject! Here is the beginning of the matching pillow sham, which will have borders and back to match the quilt:<br />

Today, I put together a crib-quilt size top in Urban Chicks fabric line "Dream On" by MODA fabrics. If this doesn't say "Spring Flowers" I don't know what does......such soft colors. Here in Long Beach, March is still "like a lion" as we await "the lamb" and warmer temperatures:<br />

I finished two medium sized handbags in fabrics I bought for my beach totes. I usually like to get the beach totes and matching handbags done at the same time, but since I don't think I'm going to post these to Etsy, I thought I'd show them off here instead. The outsides is this wild hot pink, brown, orange, blue funky paisley:<br />

I think these will sell at the spring fairs we are doing, so I'm saving myself the listings by just holding onto them. BUT, by all means, if YOU like and would want one, just let me know! :-) One of the beach totes will have this little lady acting as a guardian angel......Little Olive drew her on the inside of the paisley fabric and I had to spray ScotchGuard on her so she lasts:<br />

On another note, as I've mentioned before, I've been bringing an extra grocery store plastic bag when I walk the dog to pick up garbage. As long as I'm walking, and have to wait, I can clean up a small part of the neighborhood. I've decided to add my garbage count to my list, the latest of which is:<br />

I did my first jelly roll "Race Quilt" in the "Loulouthi" fabrics (it was the only jelly roll I had on-hand). I have seen entries of ladies finishing the quilt top in 35-40 minutes, so I timed myself. I took 1 hour 15 minutes to finish this top, so I was happy with that time! I first laid out all the strips in the end-to-end placement:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mr. Olive really liked the result! In addition, I bought borders and back fabric for a vintage feedsack quilt. I wanted to finish it up, but my batting wasn't big enough. I'm going to pick up batting today to get this one done next weekend:<br />

I love love how it looks! The back fabric is a bright orange, yellow, and cream floral.<br />
<br />
I also got two new tote bags completed and posted to Etsy:<br />

This is the first time I've used fabric with a black base. I treated each side with Scotchguard.<br />
<br />
I'm part-way through another quilt top, but not sure I'll get it done today...if so, I'll add pictures!<br />

Over on "<span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.mysweetgreens.com/">Sweet Greens</a></span>" blog, author Jennie Lyon posted an entry with five fun things to do with <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.mysweetgreens.com/2013/03/6-ways-to-upcycle-those-wine-corks-into-something-new.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SweetGreens+%28Sweet+Greens%29">wine corks</a></span>. Since my mom has a big jug of corks at her house, and I really liked her "monogram" idea, I'm linking to her post so I will always have it for reference! Hope you go check it out too....<br />

In keeping with my new years resolution of sewing down my fabric stash and making a quilt top a weekend, I made a quilt top! :-) I used the Deb Strain fabric collection "Seascapes" put out by Moda. It is all blues, teals, and white. I wanted to take outdoor pictures today, but the New York weather isn't working with me so it was indoor pics or nothing:<br />

I also decided to make a 4-patch with the remaining squares and once I pick out a border and back fabric, I'll also border and back the 4-patch to make a pillow cover. The other pillow cover is from the leftover fabric from last weekend's quilt top in "Mama Said SEW" - the Sweetwater designed collection also put out by Moda:<br />

Last but not least, I whipped up two little handbags with the rest of this beachy fabric. I cut out three beach totes and the remnant was enough to make these:<br />

Little Olive and her visiting friend were kind enough to model for me - ha ha ha. I'm not sure I'm going to post these in the Etsy shop because I know I will sell them this summer at one of the handful of fairs we do.<br />

In other news, nothing earth-shattering, I've been trying to do a little part in helping Long Beach clean up. Hurricane Sandy hit the town hard. Lots of people have had to rip out walls, floors, insulation, throw away damaged furniture, personal belongings, and yes, garbage. As I walk our adorable old girl, Bleecker, I have been bring an extra grocery shopping bag. I figure, since I'm already out and the dog stops every few feet, why not pick up some garbage along the way? So far I have picked up garbage for five bags. It is dark when I'm home from work, so I've been picking up on weekends. I reason, every bit helps!OliveStreetStudiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06988593412232029888noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069403104573401711.post-57009819830060034902013-02-18T15:17:00.000-08:002013-02-18T15:17:55.751-08:002-18-13: Presidents Day!Oh how I love love love three-day weekends! And this one was a chiller in Long Beach - the wind chill made it feel like temps were in the teens instead of the thermometer reading of low-30s. Perfect weather to hibernate and get some chores done. <br />
<br />
Little Olive and I had alot of quality time together between shopping, painting, reading, and tickling. She also had a couple playdates so I got to enjoy watching her have some friends over. We also went out to lunch as a family with one of my commuting friends, which was really nice. And the lunch was so big, we each got two meals. :-)<br />
<br />
First, I needed to tackle the mess that is my sewing room. I've been meaning to clean off my dresser top for over a year, so that was a big plus to get it done. I like feeling organized and neat (before): <br />

As far as my sewing progress, I actually got two quilt tops done! First, I finished the second of the three "On the Fence" 16-block top. I didn't take a picture, since it is similar to the one I completed last weekend. But, I did save the ends I cut off from making the blocks and I had enough to make a patchwork block for a pillow sham:<br />

When I head to Florida to visit mom and we select border and back fabric, we can border and back the sham too.<br />
<br />
Last night, I laid out all the fabric packs I had left to sew and asked Little Olive to rank the order in which she'd sew up. Her first choice was one I have wanted to piece together. The fabric line is called "Mama Said SEW" and it is designed by Sweetwater for Moda Fabrics. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE this quilt top! I've been admiring it as I was sewing it together. I just got it done with barely enough daylight to spare to take an outdoor picture:<br />

The colors are red, black, gray, and cream...I think because cream was used instead of white, makes it "softer" even though it was black in it. Last but not least, I photographed the new reversible tote bag and got it posted to our Etsy shop:<br />

Alas, tomorrow I'm back to work, but I have Friday off so three-day-weekend, followed by a three-day work week, followed by another three-day weekend. It is so nice.<br />
<br />
Mr. Olive got a call from Macy's today, asking him if he would want to work part-time. After he did the seasonal stint there, he really ended up liking the job and was disappointed that he was taken off the roster with the other seasonal hires in mid-January. He has to re-apply, which he immediately did, so he's hoping he can pick up shifts this week. Fingers crossed!

Last weekend we were all over the place and went to a Superbowl Party. Needless to say, I didn't get alot of sewing done, but I did cut a bunch of new tote bags. Thirteen to be exact. Linings, fronts and two pockets each. And, here is my gripe.....fabric costs have gone up, just like everything else in the world, so when the cutters cut "exactly" the measurement I request, I wish they would allow for the uneven edges!! Can't they give a 1/2" on either side? So when I square off my fabric, I can have the size I want? My other gripe: damaged fabric! One piece has a stain right in the middle....and another the manufacturer didn't print the pattern and colors correctly throughout the design - so a large piece has the design "off" where it should be.....ugh. I've tried to use the bad fabric design by having the bad parts hit the inside of my pockets, but I cannot get them all this way. I'm not going to finish the ones I'm questioning as I may change the pockets to another fabric. I managed to sew up a good portion of the tote bags that needed black thread. I hoped to get some completed, but then I ran out of black thread! I'll put it on my shopping list.<br />
<br />
I did get my "On the Rail" square design (I think that is the name of the pattern?) put together into a 16-block quilt top. I also decided to make the other two 16-blocks tops. One will be bordered in pink, another in green, and the last in blue. That way, should there be twin gifts or sibling sister gifts, these will coordinate, but be different. The top is laid out on a black quilt because I thought it would show up better than on my green duvet cover:<br />

I did get a part of my sewing room cleaned - YAY! Now I have more room to stand by my table. The 45 minutes was time well spent. Little Olive was up in her room playing while I was cleaning out - this is her in her "boat" with her buddies. :-)<br />

As far as using up my stash of products, here is two weeks worth! I took the first picture because I do not want to forget about the Caldrea Hand Balm.....this has to be one of the best hand lotions I have ever tried. It absorbs in and doesn't leave a greasy-feel to my hands. I definitely want to buy more, but no-no-no.....I have to use up my stash first! <br />

I love the smell of Bath & Body Works "Twilight Woods". But I know I'm going to like another lotion scent just as much. We also finished using a big bottle of conditioner, so adding that to the tally. <br />

I was happy that I got some sewing done for the January 2013 "Friday Night Sew-In". While I wasn't able to get a quilt top done, which would have helped me out with my New Year's Resolution, I did get a jelly-roll sewn up into 24 squares. Last weekend I made the first 24, and for FNSI, I did the other 24. Yay! Now I can decide how to piece them together for quilt tops.....do I do three, 16-block square tops? Or do I do one of each in blocks of 3x4, 4x4, and 5x4? I will put together one 4x4 since that would be for each set....and decide then. <br />

I also got two new tote bags almost done! I had all good intentions of finishing these last weekend, but I didn't get to them. So last night I stitched up, reversed, and ironed - ready for top-stitching! After getting the quilt blocks done, I didn't think I would have the time or energy to work on the totes!<br />

What a weekend! I'm happy that my current full-time job honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by giving us this day as a holiday. I reflected on his legacy and also read through Little Olive's first-grade view on him and caught up on what she is learning in the classroom. I love that the kids get insight into all the holidays, big and small. She had a great little "book" she put together on him.<br />
<br />
With regard to my resolutions, I did take a teensy step backward. I had to go up to Joann's Fabric to get brown strapping to complete two tote bags I started last summer. Of course, after a 45 minute drive, I had to look and see what else was available and on sale. I was also manned with three, 50% off coupons on non-sale items (namely, the strapping because it is never on sale). I came home with this:<br />

Fabrics for more new totes and for four new baby gift sets. I also bought more of the owl-on-branch and woodland fabric because I think the sets will quickly sell. Plus, SIL Olive #2, just had Nephew Olive #3 and she wanted the Owl blanket....so I was already down to three. <br />
<br />
I did get a quilt top completed. I used two charm packs of Tula Pink's fabric line "The Birds and the Bees", but that numbered only 60, six-inch squares. I could make a 10x6 top, but that is too long....8x7 is more-balanced, but then I'd have four squares leftover. I decided to use three squares of extra fabric in my stash that had birds on it so I would have enough for 63 squares for a 9x7 layout. It will be a great lap quilt size once Mother Olive finishes it up:<br />

I did make 24 squares to make a "Rail Fence" quilt, but haven't figured how best to construct. I have another jelly-roll of the same fabric, so I may make another 24 squares and make three, 16-square tops, or one each of a 3x4, 4x4, and 5x4 tops. Decisions.....decisions.....<br />

I got one done! Plus some....I finished four new beach bags, two each of a fabric set, six cell phone cases, and a woodland fabric girls baby blanket, which will be part of a set. I made 4 blankets, but only top-stitched one. The other three will be top-stitched next weekend. But, first things first, the quilt top. It is a fantastic "beachy" fabric called "Lucy's Crab Shack" by Moda fabrics; it is designed by Sweetwater. I originally planned this as a baby / crib quilt, but since I had two charm packs, I thought on this would be a perfect fabric line for an adult lap quilt. So the re-working skills came out. I did the layout with my original pieced parts and completed the now-larger adult lap quilt / toddler quilt. Since the weekend has been all-rain, I took the picture on our queen-size bed. Once it gets to my mom for borders and backing, it will be a great size. The colors include, navy, pink, lime-green, orange, and teal:<br />

I had these tote bags in pieces, but completed the bottom seam, put the bag together, and top-stitched. I make my beach totes reversible - so yes, two bags in one! The first is a beautiful serene mint-green and pastel pink floral with a "bubble dot" liner. The second is a brighter graphic animal design in brown, lime green, bright green, pink, and a bright coral. The liner is a bright stripe that includes yellow and teal, minus the brown. <br />

I didn't do a great job on the de-cluttering a pile, but I did get the Christmas tree down and the decorations put away. Also went to church with Little Olive as Mr. Olive has that sore-throat starting. I made chicken cordon bleu last night for dinner and tonight? Old school pork chops - Shake n Bake style!! <br />
<br />
Happy Sunday night - I'm rooting for Houston..... OliveStreetStudiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06988593412232029888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069403104573401711.post-67113899831207751102013-01-11T10:19:00.000-08:002013-04-19T15:14:30.954-07:00Addendum to my 2013 New Year's Resolutions....I had the nagging feeling I was forgetting to include something and you know how that feeling always turns out to be right? It was again.<br />
<br />
During Christmas vacation while I was sick, I happened upon a show called "Hoarders". I think it has been on for a couple years, but this was the first time I saw it - and it was purely by chance as the station was tuned when I turned on the set. So I watched. And watched for another hour given the back-to-back episodes. What I saw was CRAZY. While I can no way relate to the lady who hoarded cats, those both living and dead (which weren't buried, but socked away in her refrigerator and freezer), when they showed the artsy-craftsy lady who could no longer BE artsy or craftsy because she had no space due to the magnitude of STUFF she'd accumulated, part of me related to her plight. My first resolution is to sew-down my fabric stash. And I will have pictures on Sunday to show what I completed. But other snippets of these women's lives (all four story lines were female hoarders) showed piles of newspapers, magazines, bottles, books, supplies for any need - and some never bothered to wash a dish or clean their remaining living space at all. NOW, I'm not anywhere near that level, but I do have piles of stuff around the house that I reason I will go through before throwing out, or will put away into the place it belongs. I also have a supple of beauty products since I love lotions and potions. Which brings me to the addendum....<br />
<br />
#6) <u>Go through the piles of "stuff" and make a decision - KEEP or TOSS</u>. What is kept needs to go where it needs to be, which it likely not on my dining room table. I'm keeping this resolution manageable for me....one "area" a weekend. If I bite off more than I can chew, it won't work. I need to feel like I've accomplished and closed. New Years weekend, I did the first pile and tossed 97% of it. The remaining KEEP was readily put away. Last weekend I tacked the two drawers under my sewing machine on the sewing table. The stuff that stayed in the drawers was fine, but I also threw alot out - and organized an email list for periodic mailings for Olive Street Studio when we have new items or a sale. :-)<br />
<br />
#7) <u>Use up my products before buying new ones</u>. I am a complete sucker for Bath & Body Works clearance sales because they have delicious scents. And because I'm not a make-up girl, but rather a soaps and lotions, I cannot pass up a good scent, so I buy it. In 2013, like I had in a prior year's resolution list, I am also going to use up the soaps and lotions I have and not buy more until needed. I've accumulated many little sample bottles from hotel stays because I can't bear the thought of using two days of shampoo and conditioner and housekeeping tossing the remainder into the can. I'm going to keep a running total of the number I've used up with the empties hitting the recycling bin. I decided to use the hotel samples first since I can clear out faster.<br />
<br />
Running total: 2 hotel samples; 1 medium size lotion.<br />
<br />
Whew! Now THAT is my complete resolution list. I'm encouraged by my two weeks progress. Let's see if by Sunday, I've made more....<br />
<br />
Happy Friday!OliveStreetStudiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06988593412232029888noreply@blogger.com0
