Lots of glorious feathers. I used mostly Superior's Magnifico for the thread. Although, I did switch a couple to a variegated poly. Love the sheen on these thread.</div>

Here you can see the flames a little better. I did change the colors out with every spike. I wanted the threads to "blend" with the fabrics. The effect that I wanted was achieved.</div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Sunday, I had such a great time with a great group of ladies. I taught a workshop at The Quilt Basket in Wappinger's Falls, NY. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was teaching the Feathered Star. Each student had a choice... they could pick a pattern. They could choose between the Queen Size, the Wall Hanging, or the Tree Skirt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are students in the class making such a variety! I can't wait to see them all complete. But first let me show you some of the first day of class.</div>

As promised, I was able to finish my Feathered Star Quilt. Isn't it funny that every time you have a finish it instantly becomes you new favorite quilt?? Does that happen to you??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took be the better part of the day yesterday to finish the second half and join it so it became a whole.</div>

Love the center and the burst of color. I like to take close ups so that you can see the beautiful fabrics, but the perfect floating, spikey points that you achieve with paper piecing.</div>

In this quilt like in many of my other quilts, I use a combination of batiks with Kaffe Fassett. Sometimes you need to go "outside the box" to find that right color combination.</div>

In this quilt the center purple star has alternating Kaffe Aboriginal dot and a purple batik. Then the very light purple batik that is the background for that middle feather. Moving to the second feather layer, their are pink Kaffe with a light green batik background. And the last batik that I used is the magenta in the inner border of the quilt. </div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am finally starting to feel a little better. Being sick though does explain my absence of blogging. I hope to really get back to some semblance of normal soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, my Mom has been concerned about me because she hasn't seen any blog posts from me except for Tuesday's. So Mom, this one is for YOU!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday, I started to piece the units together to make my feathered star a WHOLE quilt top. One of the things that I enjoy the most about piecing the top is finally seeing it come together as one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The above photo shows the units all pieced together as one. Yes there are quite a few "Y" seams, but they are a breeze. If you have never done one, you really need to try it, they aren't that difficult and the more you do it the better you get. Remember practice make perfect.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I got a half of the whole pieced together yesterday. Here is what that half looks like. You can see the top portion still needs some sewing. I plan on working on that today. </div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you ever been so sick you just couldn't do anything, I mean anything for days?? That is what I have been up to for the past week... a lot of nothing. I got sick and just couldn't do a thing. I missed sewing so much, had to cancel a trunk show and reschedule a class. I laid like a slug in the living room snuggled under a quilt with my cats laying all over me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As of yesterday, I began to feel slightly human again and decided to go into my home studio and sew a little. This was the best therapy for me. Even though my sense of smell, hearing, and taste are still off, because of my slight congestion that is still lingering, it was wonderful being back in the saddle again!</div>

One of the best things about ALL of Judy Niemeyer patterns is that the points ALL float. By that, I mean, the points never touch the seam allowance. Therefore you never, ever cut off that point by sewing it into the seam. Cool, right?</div>

Here it is back on the wall. Today, I hope to have the entire thing pieced together into a top! If all things go as planned. I had a minor slow down yesterday and had to stop sewing. Hopefully today, I can "press" on!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have kind of been off the grid for a few days. Part of the reason being, I was working around the clock to finish my Queen Size Feathered Star quilting! Guess what it is DONE! So stay tuned for photos of that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I also traveled to Attleboro, MA to the Linsey Woolsey Quilt Guild. What a great group of ladies! I return there in 2 weeks to do a workshop for them too. Looking forward to that.</div>

Yesterday, I was able to set in the very center star. I used a variegated poly thread. One of the things I like best about it is the shimmer. In fact throughout the entire quilt I am using various poly threads because of that reason.</div>

How many of you work with bright fabrics? How many of you use them on a solid background? How many of you use them with black and white fabrics?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think my favorite way to use bright and bold fabrics is with black and white fabrics.... it really makes them POP! Yesterday, I pulled a bunch of bright fabrics and black and white fabrics. I wanted to just play. Let me show you what I pulled.</div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday was a great day! I began teaching the Glacier Star Technique of the Month (TOM), the first day in a series of six classes. I am teaching this class at 35th Ave Sew and Vac in Arizona. One thing I can tell you for sure is that I am so glad I am here... it is sub zero temperatures back home in CT!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I have a fabulous group of ladies in my class, most of whom have taken a class with me before. I am happy to see them back!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday, I help a couple of students go through their fabric choices for the Glacier Star class I will be teaching on Friday. They brought along some of their own and we played a little. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Part of choosing for this quilt is selecting colors, tones, values that you like but work together well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
During this process we play and add and eliminate fabric until we get that correct combination. Here is some of what we came up with...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One grouping was these jewel tones with gray backgrounds. She wanted a shot of brown in there as this is going in her room which has those colors. The brown is going to be accents and the inner border to frame it up. I think it is going to make the center star POP!</div>

Jan started with this and is using a minimal amount of fabric. We added another two colors to this palette and I think it will make it sing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy New Year!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I look forward to the New Year, I look back reflecting on 2013 and there was a ton of life changing events.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The biggest one for me as a Mom was that both of my children are in college and my husband I have become empty nesters. I was pretty sad from about March through the beginning of June, but I quickly recovered and and adapted to the new quiet house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love my children dearly, but I began to look at it as a great way to go and see them. I have been traveling frequently to see my son in Arizona, while coupling it with teaching. Also, we have been heading to NY to see our daughter on weekends as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another big thing for me was that I began to take "Pinch Hitting" flying lessons. Many of you have seen my posts too. I am learning how to fly and land my hubby's Cessna 182. As I have vowed to go flying with him more often now and really thought it would be a good idea to know how to do this just in case something happened to him while in the air. God forbid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the quilting front, I have been teaching a TON more and traveling and lecturing and really loving it. I hired a great friend to work for me at Canton Village Quilt Works, kitting, filling orders, keeping the website up to date. Began a new studio classroom and have met lots of wonderful new people due to classes and sew ins. And have made many quilts.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I reflect on the past year, I also look forward to the New Year. Part of that includes lots of NEW things in store for me and for you!! The first of which will be the launch of a new website and blog within the next 2 weeks. We have been working hard on this and you have probably seen our new logo floating around. If not here it is...</div>

Hello Everyone,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Saturday, I had the most productive sewing day and I managed to get my Bali Bed Runner complete!!! I am so excited!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being excited about it, I decided to take the top outside for a snowy photo shoot. My husband thought I was a little nuts, but I told him… "it is fabric, it will dry."</div>

I am smitten with the color scheme and am very happy that I went with the color blocking layout. I like that the hot colors are all framed with the cooler colors. Don't you?</div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday, it was snowing all day here. What does a quilter do when it snows? Hunkers down and gets serious about some piecing!!! Woohoo, I got to sew all day. I didn't do any quilting, but will get back to that on Monday. I think I will be piecing tomorrow too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How about you? What do you do when it snows, if it snows near you?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The past two days I have been working on making my quilt top a quilt! This one you may remember seeing late summer when I finished the top. I have been hankering to get it on the long arm since then! The time has come!!! Yippee!!</div>

First I have to piece the backing. This is a batik I chose from our shop. I think it is just perfect for this quilt. You will see why in a minute.

See… didn't I tell you, it is gorgeous isn't it? It has all the colors of the quilt top in the backing. The other thing that I like about it is that it is a busy back. I like a busy back for several reasons, they are pretty and have tons of interest, but they also help hide quilting stops and starts.</div>

Here is some of the quilting that I am doing on this quilt. I am using Superior Magnifico. It is poly thread and has a bit of a sheen. I like the outcome so far.</div>

Love the feathers. I will be switching out the thread colors throughout the quilt to match or blend in with the fabrics on the quilt top.</div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Thursday before my good friend Victoria Findlay Wolfe arrived, I wanted to make her a little gift. Actually, I have been wanting to make this for a while and I finally got around to it. What I was envisioning was playing with some of the beautiful ribbons that we carry from Renaissance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Making sort of a crazy quilt and quilting it as I go. Here is my process (tutorial)...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEcYiljCLtpFFLPigI0A9TKSiRfVIzTv8YcN1CQ3sIMCTADScMwsfCIYPfLgevurASfkGCcHSJC6Vjg8V136X8J7dyk2G4yZjsGXlS0Otp_MZxkcwQ_BrZJHmR-nLDlnMbscr6xh3OGXI/s1600/IMG_0406.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEcYiljCLtpFFLPigI0A9TKSiRfVIzTv8YcN1CQ3sIMCTADScMwsfCIYPfLgevurASfkGCcHSJC6Vjg8V136X8J7dyk2G4yZjsGXlS0Otp_MZxkcwQ_BrZJHmR-nLDlnMbscr6xh3OGXI/s640/IMG_0406.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I chose a top fabric and cut it approximately 9.5 inches square. I cut a piece of batting slightly larger. Also, choose a backing fabric and cut it larger than the top and the batting facing it wrong sides to the batting and top. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put 5 pins into it to baste it.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvvLqMEFuacsboN5eUJcXUZRuG_LRqv_iLfoSCNzK63Quw5yBoiogqPwz0dfG4iouMbxlU3jg4Z6W0eC90-mMET1-XhnqlEOUFNWrbzGjqmDj2qHBZj8GWYNS5guCYEq1kWqg2D_0K9T8/s1600/IMG_0407.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvvLqMEFuacsboN5eUJcXUZRuG_LRqv_iLfoSCNzK63Quw5yBoiogqPwz0dfG4iouMbxlU3jg4Z6W0eC90-mMET1-XhnqlEOUFNWrbzGjqmDj2qHBZj8GWYNS5guCYEq1kWqg2D_0K9T8/s640/IMG_0407.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I began placing pieces of ribbon on and sewing them down on the very edge with a complimentary thread through all the layers.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyQot-evo8ucqbL8E0UAMz8N6d0rphtZ7cs60b-rqnyfAztXmVyOSxl7ZTIS9n8k9fZ93-TsaIzsWDZLclrUkr6Ws4U3M-lYShqb9rGxsMqkspZgge5FUUrRa0BYtJ-clAIr-OYULx1BA/s1600/IMG_0408.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyQot-evo8ucqbL8E0UAMz8N6d0rphtZ7cs60b-rqnyfAztXmVyOSxl7ZTIS9n8k9fZ93-TsaIzsWDZLclrUkr6Ws4U3M-lYShqb9rGxsMqkspZgge5FUUrRa0BYtJ-clAIr-OYULx1BA/s640/IMG_0408.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then continue to add ribbons going "around" sewing in the same manner.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Along the way, you cut the ribbon to whatever size you need.</div>

Hello Everyone,</div>

The past few days have been a whirlwind! My friend Victoria Findlay Wolfe came to my studio and taught 2 classes and also did a lecture and trunk show. It was fabulous and everyone was thrilled. But I can't tell you how thrilled I was that I was able to have some time visiting with her. It was great to catch up.</div>

Hello,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Twenty Four years ago today, I married the love of my life. We have been through some of the most wonderful times and some of the most difficult times, but I wouldn't have wanted to go through them with anyone else.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Didn't we look like babies?</div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday was a truly wonderful day for me! Not only did I get to spend with my great friend Deb, but she also helped me clean my studio and get organized!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love the feeling of freedom and that is exactly how I felt. I had been living with TONS of scraps under my sewing area and on top of my sewing area, around my sewing area… well you get my point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any how… I am now FREE! Free to move around, free to sew, free to cut, just plain free and darn it feels great!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Before it was piled high with scraps and my kitty would lay one them like a bed. We sorted through everything and gave everything a place. No more bed for my kitty.</div>
