There is a lot of information out there on Quilting. So I decided to split up what I found into several parts. I hope that you enjoy what I have found and I hope that this inspires you.)<br />
<br />
Quilting: It is defined as the stitching together of layers of fabric and padding. Quilts have also been referred to as a "fabric sandwich". <br />
<br />
The name quilt actually came from the Latin word Culcita meaning "stuffed sack". It made it into the English language from the French word Cuilte.<br />
How quilting came to be and how far back in time it started is not known. But we do know that the quilting techniques we use today have been used for several millennia.<br />
<br />
One of the earliest known quilted garments is depicted on a carved ivory figure of a Pharaoh of the Egyptian first dynasty from about 3400BC.<br />
<br />
In 1924 archaeologists discovered one of the oldest surviving quilted objects. Found in Mongolia it is a quilted floor covering. It's age is around 100BC to 200AD. The motifs depict animals with abstract spirals on the borders of the covering. It is worked in a back stitch while the background is diamond quilted in a coarse running stitch.<br />
Another quilted artifact that is about as old as the floor covering is a quilted slipper found in Samarrand in a rubbish heap. The backstitch used on the slipper is identical to the one used on the rug.<br />
Samarrand was a major stop on the Silk Road between China and Europe. The one thing for sure is the early objects that were found contain Egyptian cotton. It seems that the Egyptian and Mediterranean trade influenced early quilting.<br />
<br />
In the late 11th century among many other thing brought back from the Crusades quilted objects were one of them.<br />
<br />
The evidence of quilting made its presence known in the 12th century Europe. Not only was quilted padding used under a knights armor but also there is a reference to a quilt adorning a bridal bed in a French poem entitled "La Laide Desire". <br />
<br />
In the 13th century German "Parvizal" mentions a quilt in Grail Castle.<br />
<br />
In the 14th century quilted clothing began to appear in France, Germany, England and Italy. Also in the 14th century quilting may have started working its way into the lower classes. Until this time quilting was fairly common in the upper classes. Arriving at this conclusion a 14th century Italian ivory shows St. Joseph traditionally regarded as a peasant or lower class artisan wearing a diamond quilted tunic.<br />
<br />
The oldest known bed quilt also survives from the 14th century. Found in Sicily it is made of Linen and padded wool blocks across the center of it are scenes from the legend of Tristan its size is 122" by 106".<br />
<br />
Surviving quilts from these periods are mainly Linen or silk worked with matching thread and stuffed with cotton.<br />

Good morning! It is a beautiful sunny day here in central Texas!<br />
<br />
It has been a while since I have written and I have been through some life changing events. I lost my Uncle to lung and liver cancer. The circumstances that took place before and after his death have frankly left me shocked to say the least. Very, very angry to say the most. Through this I have come to some decisions.<br />
<br />
I am changing my creative direction just a bit. Yes, I am keeping this blog and not starting a new one. My past is a part of me and my art and it is a very beautiful one. With out my past I would not have developed into this wonderful future that I am walking into now. Yes, I will still be crazy quilting but I will be doing it with a purpose. I am doing some media art also. I can't wait to share that! There will also be some great giveaways in the future.<br />
<br />
To start with I will be putting up a series of historical posts on quilting and related topics. I am also working on a wonderful tutorial on how to use cotton fabrics in crazy quilting. I think cottons in CQ is a very undeveloped area of creativity but since most of the cottons out there are geared towards traditional quilting we have to be selective on what we use in CQ.<br />
<br />
I am so looking forward to this new way of creating! I hope that you will too!<br />

Also Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from the U.S.A.! I am working on my contribution to my families meal. Green Bean Casserole. I am kinda the Green Bean Casserole person of the family. I am trying a new one out this year. We will see how it goes it is a Southwest kind.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
So anyway I have been thinking about what direction I am traveling with all my studies. (I call them studies because as far as I am concerned as long as your art is evolving you are studying it.) I have been "playing" with the media art for a while now but as most know Crazy Quilting is my true love. I have used all types of fabric in my art.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF-gKUdwtg2aPOSAfH29X2lvvbSEK168d-DyTlgrIKQoj5QZ9-cQWpYJrm0tjXzcuCihyphenhyphenIXX-ZiSJ5YJz_dZGywEHi8YAelZlt07fDRwrMZUSSayd4afLBfRwqitaUBQJO7svuuEUgjLg/s1600/4be7739597115761e3ff181c24aaa466.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF-gKUdwtg2aPOSAfH29X2lvvbSEK168d-DyTlgrIKQoj5QZ9-cQWpYJrm0tjXzcuCihyphenhyphenIXX-ZiSJ5YJz_dZGywEHi8YAelZlt07fDRwrMZUSSayd4afLBfRwqitaUBQJO7svuuEUgjLg/s320/4be7739597115761e3ff181c24aaa466.jpg" width="171" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now with that being said I was recently on Facebook and saw a post that really bothered me. A CQ artist had put up a picture of a recent block she had made and stated that she had stepped out of her comfort zone and used cotton fabrics. She also stated that she had "gunked" it up enough. I thought to myself "gunked"it up? What the heck? Why would you feel that you would need to "gunk" any of your art up? Then when you get down to it why would anyone feel using cotton fabric is a challenge?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw197dvxwscvEAONMeKlRMtZEmCu5tVcHUsKC4E2c6ThAGOYIb1RbID5KX6HSFRsvm1GLYKc55uqBoeMb6BoSSR1yWDeV0PuJwhGePpu-7chRml4UZY0P2axlOB2bW1miZqR2313lpNug/s1600/58d1c18b7eca577a566f500fc2d274a0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw197dvxwscvEAONMeKlRMtZEmCu5tVcHUsKC4E2c6ThAGOYIb1RbID5KX6HSFRsvm1GLYKc55uqBoeMb6BoSSR1yWDeV0PuJwhGePpu-7chRml4UZY0P2axlOB2bW1miZqR2313lpNug/s320/58d1c18b7eca577a566f500fc2d274a0.jpg" width="137" /></a></div>
I have many times turned to cotton fabric to use in my CQ. I personally LOVE the contrast of the materials that I use. So I am looking at all the pictures that are being put up on Facebook and I am noticing that a good many ladies are using cotton fabrics. Some of the blocks are very stunning.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiN3tSF1STosbNV20QVkzprUN7l4pTHrTsbDcTVTbzakOAxGGAZ1jNU027DIwwy1lhgyLzvBk_hPmc7vzERWJfWn521ROy32Pbjf5QwDw2WoIUXKEK6Ej0OW3GVvJfIOtfXc0vRb2vFR8/s1600/a612d0d7ab3d7ee85452627e8779a65a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiN3tSF1STosbNV20QVkzprUN7l4pTHrTsbDcTVTbzakOAxGGAZ1jNU027DIwwy1lhgyLzvBk_hPmc7vzERWJfWn521ROy32Pbjf5QwDw2WoIUXKEK6Ej0OW3GVvJfIOtfXc0vRb2vFR8/s320/a612d0d7ab3d7ee85452627e8779a65a.jpg" width="212" /></a></div>
I am also thinking that the reason so many CQ'ers are calling cotton fabric challenging is because they are putting together the wrong pieces of fabric. They are instead of embracing the challenge of cotton fabric they are trying to put it in terms of the fancy fabrics that they use or just not thinking of the pieces as they put together the block they are going to embellish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So for the next few days I will be putting together a tutorial on cotton fabric blocks. So see you in a few days.<br />

So yesterday I had a day off from work. I did run in and purchase the Christmas items that I set back for my grandchildren. If you have not been in to see what TJ Maxx has I fully suggest that you do. We always get some of the best items. Unique stocking stuffers. In Europe it is TK Maxx and in Canada it is Weiners. I was able to get all of my Grandkids Christmas Eve box items. This year we got some really cool movies.<br />

Anyway I was looking at the Christmas napkins while I was at the store and thought what could I use these for in my crafting. It prints on the napkins are so cool! Well this morning inspiration struck. BAM! You know sometimes that is how it happens. What about the shoe boxes? Yes, I am going to pick up a package or two tonight when I get into work and work on a shoebox and see if how it comes out. My next day off is Tuesday so here is to a day of play!<br />

I am now working for T J Maxx in Bastrop, Texas. We do cardboard recycling there. That means all of the boxes get crushed and hauled away. We get shoes in and we do not use the shoe boxes. They go into the crusher and get moved on. So one day I was in the back room looking at the mound of shoe boxes. It seemed a shame to let them all go to waste. What can I do to upcycle them? So I took a few home.<br />
<br />
They sat for weeks on the kitchen table with me just looking at them. The old man was starting to get upset because I had "that trash" on the table. Then it just hit me. BAM! You know how inspiration works.<br />
<br />
Here is what I came up with:<br />

I have developed a really cool technique that works for me when adding the decoration to the shoe boxes. They will make GREAT keepsake boxes while you can put a personal gift into them for your friends and family.<br />

Yes it is raining here in central Texas. I am hoping it wont stop anytime soon. I am actually hoping that we will get a little cooler. It was so humid yesterday! I am so happy that I am able to get on my blogger again. I am not sure what happened but apparently I had a virus on my computer that messes up certain pages that I work on? I don't know all of the technical stuff but it is doing ok right now.<br />

So I have been thinking after we get the holiday stuff out of the way I would like to organize a Round Robin. It would not start until after the first of the year. Would there be any interest in one? Let me know.<br />

The last two days I have had off and they kinda flew. I think any way. Tuesday morning I woke up with a migraine. It took me most of the morning to get it to go away. Then Tuesday evening I ate something that gave me the hives. I thought are you kidding me? One more thing on the list of things that I cannot eat. Pretty soon I will be dieting but not by choice. It will be because I can't eat it!<br />
<br />
Yesterday I had errands that needed running and those took most of the day. Yes it included the PO but just did not make it there. When I finally got home I took a cold shower. I don't know about ya'll but 105 degrees is just WAY too hot! I did get into my sewing room and make up my book marks to stitch. So I will do that around work for the next two days.<br />
<br />
This weekend is tax free weekend here and of course I work all weekend. I am hoping that it flies by fast!<br />
<br />
I am leaving you with some more pictures:<br />

I am a little excited about how the events of my life are working out at this point. I am so enjoying work at TJ Maxx and I am very happy that my CQ work is starting to take off. I love having the time to do what I want to do. It is almost like waking up from a dream state and just getting back to the life you enjoy. I really can't complain about the past 8 years. I have learned a lot. I mean really learned a lot. Now I get to move on with my life and do the things that I set back for the time that I was learning the things that I need to know. Now I get to have time for what I love to do.<br />
<br />
I wake up every morning and just get really excited about what I have time to do. I get to decorate for the holidays like I really like to do. I get to bake for Christmas! The "I get to's" just keep rolling off. Here is one wish for every one out there: I wish that you all learn what it is like to wake up and smile everyday and get to do what it is you want to do! It is wonderful!<br />
<br />
Here are three more pictures for you to use in your crafting:<br />

<br />
3) Turn the backing fabric so that your 3 1/2 x 5 inch square is on the back.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQggSJvb-DPnkFQfPKw77Ca-2Qkxzi_sSGVvMO1Wf2vhB3WZ8LV6CN0jCO2hGAksd67Y7RUMe_bb7xTwoTsU4YaZWsssUa1B1RbHVRb3XBWkUzPK_GmlZpkwPhfScL0aMtMLwhah5NwXE/s1600/IMG_1882.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQggSJvb-DPnkFQfPKw77Ca-2Qkxzi_sSGVvMO1Wf2vhB3WZ8LV6CN0jCO2hGAksd67Y7RUMe_bb7xTwoTsU4YaZWsssUa1B1RbHVRb3XBWkUzPK_GmlZpkwPhfScL0aMtMLwhah5NwXE/s320/IMG_1882.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
4) Find a piece of silk/cotton. A solid color is preferable for this project. Cut this fabric to the size of the backing fabric square.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8X33uUEIODdsn9BjN70CMwhDey_M_xwaypLI94skm8wAt4prJJsOxSKafS7z8FsVyoCkO5pY-CKhBImL26tFmXsZ40AU_w1pUJ_iRQmiFTKWthERirb3AHPX5tNVTv37EzhQ7SAjw_6Q/s1600/IMG_1883.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8X33uUEIODdsn9BjN70CMwhDey_M_xwaypLI94skm8wAt4prJJsOxSKafS7z8FsVyoCkO5pY-CKhBImL26tFmXsZ40AU_w1pUJ_iRQmiFTKWthERirb3AHPX5tNVTv37EzhQ7SAjw_6Q/s320/IMG_1883.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
5) With a sewing machine sew around the outside of the backing fabric and the silk fabric making one piece of layered fabric. Then sew around the 3 1/2 x 5 inch block making sure that you sew on the ink drawn lines.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
6) Cut a piece of lace to the size of your block lengthwise. place the piece of lace where the scalloped part of the lace is half way through the 3 1/2 x 5 inch square in your block. Sew it in so that it does not move while you are working with the block.<br />
<br />

8) Fashion these into yo-yo's by folding them in half lengthwise and hand sewing with the quilting thread the raw edges together. (The 1 to 1 1/2 inch side is the one that is sewn together by the raw edges. This makes a circle.) You then fold the circles in half with the raw edges from the small end on the inside. You then with the quilting thread and needle in hand gather together the raw edges and make sure you secure them into the yo-yo knotting the thread off.<br />

10) Arrange the yo-yo flowers onto your block in the 3 1/2 inch by 5 inch square then sew them in with some perle cotton floss. Attach them to your block by the center of the yo-yo flower. Because you will be attaching the yo-yo's by the center you can use a different color floss to make some color for the center of your flower.<br />

As the reorganizing of my sewing room keeps going slowly I have been thinking about working on another swap. Right now we have my Christmas Stocking Swap going on. This swap will conclude at the beginning of November. (Please look two posts back for information on the swap.) This swap is going to be wonderful this year! Please be sure and email me to let me know if you want to participate. <br />
<br />
Now back to my thoughts. The beginning of the year is so slow with the groups and a few ladies tend to get bored. How about a swap at that time? Now the problem is: What kind of a swap? It has been years since Lisa in Nevada has done her AWESOME baggie swaps. How about a baggie swap? What about a Banner Swap? Tag Swap? Pin Keeper Swap? The possibilities are endless! What do you think? What kind of swap do you want to see?<br />

First of all I want to announce that I am rearranging my sewing room. I have laid hands on some shelves and an entertainment center. I have put those in my room and moved my sewing machine. I am now in the process of organizing my fabrics again. Everyone who is a quilter knows how big THAT task is! I am quite happy with how the room is turning out.<br />
<br />
Also did I tell you about the sewing machine that I found at Goodwill? It is a Dressmaker and I bought it for $16.00. Have I told you yet that it works? Awesome find if I do say so myself!<br />
<br />
The next thing I would like to announce is my landing a promotion. Yeah! I interviewed for a part time CEC position and I wound up being offered a full time CEC position! I am pretty happy with that. Just a few more hours and a raise. I am pretty content with life at this time.<br />
<br />
Now some finished projects. Here are pictures of the pin keeper that I made for Denise and a tag I made for Kriss.<br />

Now on to this years theme. My friend Denise picked out this years theme. As all of you know I had a contest for the theme where I asked for suggestions. I gave them all a number in the order that they came in. Some ladies had more then one number because they had more than one suggestion. I then used a random number generator and pulled out the winning theme.</div>

I was 7 years old when she was born. I quite remember most of what went on that day. My dad woke up my sister Kara and I got us dressed and sat us on the porch with a banana each and told us he and mom had to go and that our God Mother would be there to get us soon. She was there not too long after that. Kara and I went and spent a very rainy 4th of July with our God parents. I remember mom had canned corn the day before and it was sitting on the counter of the kitchen. I also remember dad coming and picking us up and telling us that we had a little sister. He described her as red and white and screaming the blues. I also remember dad making me and Kara pancakes the next morning. That all happened 37 years ago today.<br />
<br />
Happy birthday Brandi Joy!<br />
<br />
With this being Independence Day and Brandi's birthday I thought that I would put up pictures saluting the women who served in the armed forces. Brandi served in the Army.<br />

How is everyone! This morning is a very pretty one here in Bastrop, Texas! The sun is shinning and it promises to be another hot day here. The only thing that we miss here in central Texas during the summer is the rain. Today I go into work late so I am going to finish the CQ Tag that I am planning to send to Kriss for winning the StitchMap Teaser and I plan on putting together the CD pin keeper for Denise. I hope to get both packages out this week.<br />

Here are some more pictures for your enjoyment and use:<br />
