tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307203032024-03-13T01:32:38.219-07:00Traveling QuilterThanks for visiting my blog. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my quilts and travels. I make lots of quilts, many as gifts, some for charity, and a few on commission. I love to travel and I own a car, but I am afraid to drive in heavy traffic. So I often use public transportation to visit big cities. I don't just go on trips--I have adventures!auntdebbiequiltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10688386370634372309noreply@blogger.comBlogger816125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30720303.post-81227690254343425082015-11-11T12:43:00.000-08:002015-11-11T13:36:04.861-08:00Recent Echoes Quilts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pieced units, sewn improvisationally, trimmed to workable sizes. I worked with multiples of 5" finished, so my units were trimmed dimensions of 5.5", 10.5", etc. This helps the pieces fit together easily. I recommend Cheryl Arkison's class <a href="https://www.creativelive.com/courses/improv-quilting-basics-cheryl-arkison">Improv Quilting Basics</a> at CreativeLive.com, which I enjoyed.</div>

This happens to be the eighth and last of a group of quilts that I call Loaves and Fishes quilts. They were funded, at least in part, by a generous Joann's gift card given to me by a group of friends shortly before Christmas 2014. I call them Loaves and Fishes quilts because I was able to make so many quilts with the card. The term refers to the Bible story of the boy's lunch of bread and fish, which multiplied as the disciples distributed it to a crowd of thousands of people. All were fed, and there were leftovers.<br />
<br />
Here are the other seven quilts in the group (all throw sized):<br />

Sewing station</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I moved things around a bit. The table didn't have a very good view of the ocean. This was better. My sewing machine, a Janome Sew-Mini, is the size of a toaster, fits in my suitcase and weighs nothing.</div>

Cutting station</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cutting mat (18" x 24") folds in half and fits in my suitcase. This replaces one that I had worn out years ago and held together with tape. The rulers are plexiglass that I had cut at the hardware store. The larger ruler is about 6" x 21", slightly shorter than my commercial ruler, and fits in my suitcase. There are no markings on the rulers but they aren't really necessary for the techniques I had planned for the trip.</div>

Haha!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tim's entree, Alaskan Halibut - Orange gaspacho / sofrito / radish salad / California farro. Tim and I shared a bite of each other's entree. The food at Juniper and Ivy was excellent, and I'm so glad I got to experience it. At the same time, I got to know Tim. Before this I'd seen him only at the time of the wedding. Very nice, likeable and intelligent fellow.</span></span></div>

Tim gave me a ride back to my hotel, so I didn't have to ride the bus back. I sewed for a little bit, adding wide strips to the top and bottom of both pink Hopscotch runs. This helped them seem less out of proportion with the green run. After that I called it a night.</div>

Early this month I traveled to San Diego. As I have many times, I took Amtrak to San Diego, then used public transportation once I arrived. This was a quilting trip, as well as an opportunity to eat at a fancy restaurant.</div>

During my ride on the train I got pretzels for a snack. I liked the color combination of the package, which could end up being the inspiration for a quilt: blue and white, with pops of gold, red and black.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the bus between Bakersfield and Los Angeles</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More quilt inspiration, this time from the design on the back of a bus seat. Blue background with white inserts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
During the bus ride I sat next to a very nice lady who lives in Fresno and happens to be a quilter. What fun it was to talk to someone who spoke my language.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Let me back up a bit. At the train station in my town, the train was delayed by quite a long time. I spoke to an older gentleman waiting on the bench that we shared. He pointed out his daughter, who was visiting. She was an acupuncturist, very smart, like her mother. She had two offices in San Diego.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Fast forward to Los Angeles. The bus was late getting to the train station. With many other people, I hurried to try to catch the train. I spotted the acupuncturist, who was wearing a very distinctive jacket, running through the train's long corridor. Turns out we missed the train to San Diego. I spoke to the acupuncturist, who got information that we could catch the next train, at no extra charge. I hung out with her during the wait, and sat with her on the train. Her name is Jocelyn, and she knits. Wow! We are now Facebook friends.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiViN8l3ya111QdjvrTcoBkT4EU7rAmEt7PHwhTjzpL60S7fgh8uNbOjBGPqiZ4LReQ1-PJi4bl7O_YCTXgLBOZ_iDi21zBXid8vOwn0aibuju9ZUqaNE5DRnQb_vPB0roSgOJG/s1600/KIMG0664.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiViN8l3ya111QdjvrTcoBkT4EU7rAmEt7PHwhTjzpL60S7fgh8uNbOjBGPqiZ4LReQ1-PJi4bl7O_YCTXgLBOZ_iDi21zBXid8vOwn0aibuju9ZUqaNE5DRnQb_vPB0roSgOJG/s320/KIMG0664.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was supposed to ride all the way into downtown San Diego, but when I heard that the train would stop in Old Town, I decided to get off at that station. Since I would have taken the trolley back to this very spot, it seemed to be the smart thing to do. I said goodbye to Jocelyn and left the train with my carry-on.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Waiting for a bus to Ocean Beach</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sign shows several methods of transportation, most of which I've taken in San Diego on various trips. I haven't taken the Coaster, a commuter train, yet. Perhaps I will someday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I wasn't exactly sure where to get off the bus. I was trying to use my GPS app, while texting with my friend Ramin. In a panic, I got off the bus at the same time as a guy who seemed to be local and I just started walking. After a while I sensed that I wasn't going in the right direction. My phone was acting funny, so that didn't help. I found that I was several blocks off course. I backtracked to the bus stop. My GPS told me it was a 20 minute walk to the hotel. Add to that the 20 minutes I spent walking the wrong way and back. The whole trip from bus to hotel was supposed to be 7 minutes. Argh! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
By the time I got to the hotel I was pretty tired. I checked in and learned that my room was on the third floor. There was no elevator, my suitcase was heavy, and I was weary. The desk manager volunteered to carry my suitcase to my room. What a nice lady.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
After I got settled, I wanted to have some dinner. It was Cinco de Mayo, so Mexican food was the appropriate choice. I went to the front desk and asked the lady for recommendations (within a couple of blocks). She gave the names of two restaurants. One of them, Nati's, I had seen on my way to the hotel. As I walked down the street, I scanned for the other restaurant, the name of which escapes me now. I stopped at a candy store for snacks, asking the clerk for the other restaurant, which he'd never heard of. Nati's it was, then.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The food was very good. The margarita was nice, too. A great meal for Cinco de Mayo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
By the time I got back to the hotel I was exhausted and there was no way I would try to set up to sew. I watched TV on my tablet for a while, then fell asleep.</div>

I love paper piecing. I wanted a more Liberated Quiltmaking look and didn't need an actual pattern printed on the paper. I used pages from an old phone book and cut the pages to the size needed for the section. Then I placed a triangle roughly in the center of the paper base.</div>

I like this better. By the way, I didn't re-sew the original B block. I used it as is, placing it to the left of the trees that can be seen in the photo. The band of double green wouldn't be noticeable with the trees interrupting the flow. Improvising!</div>

Trees block trimmed. My design called for 12.5" (unfinished) blocks. As usual, my striped blocks came up a little short, at 12.25". So, as the late great quilter Mary Ellen Hopkins would recommend, I went with the flow and trimmed all of the blocks to 12.25" (unfinished).</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had intended to use a subtle lavender print for a more modern look. Found a couple of possibilities at one store, then saw this purple animal print at another. The quilt went a different way than expected, but I think it works. Diamond happens to be Reghan's birthstone.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The center fabric is from IKEA and features mountains plus a couple of goats on a bridge. Delectable Mountains blocks in groups of five and three represent Piper's birthday of May 3.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is a story behind the IKEA fabric. Several years ago I found the fabric online during a search for mountain goat fabric. It was by far the cutest print. The nearest IKEA is in the Sacramento area, about an hour and half away. At the time I was going to Sacramento once a month, so during one trip I visited IKEA on the way home, saw the fabric but passed it up because I wasn't ready to make the project (sleeping bag) yet. I figured I could get it any time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few months went by, and I was ready to make the quilt. When I visited IKEA, they were remodeling and the fabric department was closed. No! It would be a few months before it was open again. I kept checking every now and then, and finally was able to purchase a yard and a half to make the sleeping bag. Hooray! I took the IKEA fabric to Joann's and found pink fabric for the lining of the sleeping bag, along with a very long zipper. I set the bag aside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A couple more months passed and I was ready to tackle the project. I found the bag with the pink fabric and zipper, but no IKEA fabric. I looked all through my fabric stash, but never found it, even to this day. I called Joann's to see if it had been found there but no luck. I gave up on making the sleeping bag and bought sleeping bags for both granddaughters to use at my house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The fabric in Piper's quilt was bought on Ebay last fall. I was very happy to finally have it again and to make a quilt for my "little mountain goat" with it.</div>

To the smaller blocks I added a blue print, which I bought years ago for this project. I intended to use the print as the quilt's border. I figured that adding the print to some of the blocks would make them larger, plus tie the inside of the quilt to the outside.</div>

I added a red border to each block to bring each to a specific size. The red had been in my stash for a few years.</div>

Blocks all sewn together. I liked the bold red background, and decided not to use the blue print as the border. However, I will use the blue print on the back of the quilt, which will tie the back to the front.</div>

I hope to finish the quilt this weekend. The completed quilt will be donated to a local agency that helps abused people.</div>

The featured dish on the show was the Habanero Burger, which was so hot, hosts Aaron Sanchez and Roger Mooking could eat only a bite or two. I was going to ask if the cook could cut back on the habanero so I didn't waste most of the burger. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Super Spicy Habanero Burger is not as hot as the Habanero Burger XXX. I ordered it.. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A couple of years ago I noticed that Tammy had several smiley face decorations at her desk. This fabric has been in my stash for a few years. I knew it was just right for Tammy. Co-worker (and Tammy's good friend) Shelly A. helped by choosing a couple of colors, blue and yellow.</span></span></div>

Vicki was surprised to get a quilt. Actually, her quilt has been on my to-make list for a long time. As far back as 15 years ago, our group of co-workers would draw names to decide who would take care of each birthday. I had already established a tradition of giving a quilt as a birthday gift, so people would be disappointed when someone besides me would draw their name. The person who stands out in my memory is Vicki. I'm glad I finally made her a quilt.</div>

Enjoy, Vicki!</div>

A couple of weeks ago friend and co-worker Cathy C. and I visited San Francisco, about an hour and a half from where I live. We drove to the nearest BART station, then took BART into the city, getting off at 16th Street Mission, near Fabric Outlet. The fabric prices are quite reasonable, I think, for San Francisco. I was hoping to find some fabric to make a pair of pants but came out empty-handed.</div>

I'm not much of a cook, but my daughter-in-law Laurie is a great cook. Cathy, who enjoys cooking, and I spent some time at Sur La Table. A few years ago when I was at Sur La Table, I sent a text to Laurie, asking her if she wanted anything. Her answer: Everything! So on this trip I bought a gift card for Laurie's birthday. I gave it to her about a week ago. She loved it, and has already ordered and received her items.</div>

Kurios was a great show. This was my sixth live show, the fourth in San Francisco. Last year it seemed that I'd seen it all before.

I've been planning to make a quilt for Austin for a couple of years, since delivering <a href="http://travelingquilter.blogspot.com/2013/01/superman-quilt-delivered.html">Superman Opus No. 2 in A Double Flat Minor</a> to mutual band friend Andy D. I presented the quilt to Andy on his birthday, after a band rehearsal. Austin saw the quilt and asked jokingly if it was for him. Turns out Austin and Andy have the same birthday! I decided right then and there that I needed to make a quilt for Austin.</div>

Purposely, I did not repeat any of Robbie's fabrics for Andy's quilt. I wanted each to be unique. But I did combine the fabrics for the charity quilt, and I think they go quite nicely together.<br />
<br />
I hope that the Improv Quilt and Superman Remixed will bring a bit of cheer and comfort to the children who choose them.<br />

Patty asked me to make a quilt that combines Halloween and birthday. Halloween is represented by black cats, along with a cute, not scary, print that I think is quite appropriate for a grade school-aged girl. Balloons and cupcakes stand for birthday. Purple, the little girl's favorite color, and Halloween color orange are present in all of the theme fabrics.</div>

Tonight I finished the top of the improv quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Blue border added to finish the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When the quilt is completed, my plan is to donate it to Stanislaus Family Justice Center, which helps victims of abuse. Each child who comes through gets to choose a quilt. This quilt will finish quite small, about 35" square, but I believe that it will be just right for some child in need of comfort.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Meanwhile, I'm starting a new quilt, for the granddaughter of co-worker Patty L. Patty's granddaughter was born on Halloween, and I was asked to make a quilt that combines Halloween and birthday. Patty's granddaughter's favorite color is purple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found the fabric on the right at a local store. Cute, rather than scary, I think it's appropriate for a grade school-aged girl. Patty's granddaughter likes cats, and the fabric on the left has black cats. There are cats in the Halloween girl print, as well.</div>

The quilt should go quickly.<br />

It's not unusual to see the waves come over the sea wall during high tide. But during one storm years ago I saw the water come over the wall (left), across the sidewalk and little street, and into the yard (see the guy in the white shirt). That's 28 paces for me. Wow!</div>

The idea for the quilt came from a <a href="http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/2014/08/color-throwdown-306.html">color challenge</a> found in a blog post by The Color Throwdown: navy, pale plum and green. The challenge is actually for cardmaking, but I adapted it to quilting.</div>

As I mentioned before, the quilt will finish up pretty small, even with the additiion of the two borders. I could use it as a wallhanging, but it will end up too wide for the space I have in mind. I've decided to give the finished quilt to Stanislaus Family Justice Center, where some child (probably a girl) will be able to use it for naps, cuddling up, or keeping her dolly warm.<br />
