We completely sold out of the collection of fabrics to make the quilt but, with the help of friends from our Facebook Group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1423388897713165/" target="_blank">(Margaret Leuwen Quilting</a>) we managed to find a couple of places that have Robin Picken's Painted Meadow fabric by Moda!! Yea! If you would like to join us in making Spring Time Sampler send me an <a href="mailto:margaret@missmarkersquilts.com" target="_blank">email</a> and I'll be happy to forward you the shops that have it! If you would like to use your stash to make it, that's fine too!! Patterns are available on my website!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
I received this fabric last week and honestly </h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to make something with it! </h2>

I have decided to make <a href="https://www.missmarkersquilts.com/shop/Bag-and-Organizing-Patterns/p/Potluck-Pals-x43860441.htm" target="_blank">Potluck Pals by Annie</a>. I think it's going to look fantastic! Once I get it made I will have kits available on my website. I love kits, don't you? It's just so much easier when everything is included!<br />

Welcome!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2017 started out with my husband and I purchasing 60 acres of the most beautiful property! Many of you know that my husband made one of my life dreams come true when we built my studio two years ago. My Husband's dream has been to own land, land to walk, land to hunt and land to share with his children and grandchildren. That dream was fulfilled on March 22, 2017 so I thought I would take you for a walk.</div>

We have our very own creek! There is also a beautiful waterfall which I will share with you in another post, but here's the creek! It needs cleaning up so that the water can flow easier but we will be leaving that for a hot day in the summer when will be able to clean up and cool off at the same time and we are hoping to get the grandkids involved.</div>

You don't have to walk very far before you see fallen trees but that's part of mother nature. I never realized how big 60 acres is and I still don't think I have a complete understanding. </div>

Thorny rosebushes are a constant on the land. I will tell you they HURT when they grab a hold of you, somehow they make it all the way through your clothing to your skin. Definitely a place you want to be wearing long sleeves and long pants when walking through. We hope to be able to get the trails/paths opened up before summer so that we can talk walks through here without donating a pint of blood along the way.</div>

More downed trees. We had a pretty severe wind storm a few weeks back and this peace of heaven on earth lost around 7 - 10 trees that we've seen so far. I know that's a big gap but it's still difficult in some spots to tell if it's a new fall or an old one.</div>

Rock walls! We've got plenty of those too! Most of them were put there to create a property line and the rest of them were just put there to move the rocks out of the way. Again you can see there aren't only rocks there but sticks and other items that will need cleaning up.</div>

One of the many paths through the land. Some of them are walkable right now, others aren't. The land was logged over 5 years ago and after it was logged it was sold. The person that purchased it did their best to start cleaning it up but was only able to get so much done. When the loggers came through they had no respect for the land at all. If their machines didn't fit through an area they wanted to go they made it fit. I'm not kidding! As you walk down a path you can see where the equipment ripped at the bark off the trees that were in the way. I understand that logging of land is important and I don't have any issues with that at all but what I do have issues with is the damage they left behind with their equipment. The damage to trees is nothing when you compare it to the ruts that they left in the earth. I'll post pictures of the ruts and how it caused the natural flow of the creek to be disrupted.</div>

Above you can see my husband looking for trails from the map we received of the property. The prior owner did a fantastic job of making a map of all the different trails on the land. It has helped us a great deal in navigating our way around. So far we think we've walked almost all of the trails. We've spent two evenings walking, both nights we walked for over 2 hours, just looking at the land and trying to get our bearings of where the trails are and an over view of what our first priorities need to be.</div>

I hope I can find this tree again so I can share it with Austin, Natalie & Lyon. I'll have to pull out the book on birds so we can see if the holes will give us an indication of what type of woodpecker is living in our woods. It will be a fantastic adventure and learning experience for all of us!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you are enjoying making these blocks as much as I am! I am beyond proud of the fact that I've been able to make 2 blocks of each of the patterns so far. I hope I can keep going at this pace!</div>

This weeks blocks were designed by Moda's designers V and Co, Kathy Schmitz Studios and American Jane. All three of these blocks are pretty easy to make and I was introduced to a different way of making half square triangles. Sampler Block Shuffle was designed to be make out of Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes, Fat Quarter Bundles or Fat Eighth Bundles. I am making mine out of a Layer Cake and a Jelly Roll. If you are using a Jelly Roll to make your 2 1/2" half square triangles (hst) you will cut 2 - 2 1/2" squares (1 focus fabric & 1 background) for each hst, draw a diagonal line, stitch right on the line and then cut off the excess from one side of the sewn line. When you presss, make certain you set your seams first, you are working with the bias and bias stretches! I have inserted a short video clip to show you how to make these out of 2 1/2" strips in this weeks video.</div>

I realize that picking a favorite block is similar to picking a favorite child but I have to be honest, I am in love with the block designed by American Jane this week, I've always had a soft spot for Start! </div>

I can not believe how much I've already learned about color value by working on these blocks and by placing the background color in different places (one of the benefits of doing two blocks for each pattern). Last week when I picked out my colors for the block designed by Me and My Sister Design I was at first really happy with them but once I put the blocks together I realized the blue and the brown I had used were so similar in value that you really don't notice the overall pattern design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Notice the difference between the block in the lower left corner versus the upper right corner? These are made from the same patter, just different color placement. I'm not going to take this block apart and redo it, I'm going to put it in my quilt and it will be one of my learning blocks :)!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next Friday will be blocks 7, 8 & 9 and I will also be showing you how to make Flying Geese! I would love to see what your blocks look like! You can show off your blocks by tagging me on Instagram @MissMarkersQuilts, Facebook @ Miss Marker's Quilts or email me your pictures @ Margaret@missmarkersquilts.com!</div>

Hand sewing binding down is one of those things that I really do enjoy doing. I know some people don't enjoy it because it takes so long but honestly I do, I enjoy the pace of it and how very relaxing it is because it isn't one of those things that you are expected to be able to do quickly. Hand sewing binding down (especially on a big quilts) requires you to sit back for a few minutes and slowly work away at it.<br />
<br />
Often I hand stitching my bindings while watching TV in the evening or while listening to a good book. I hope my tutorial is informative and that you also enjoy hand stitching binding.<br />

By 8:00 AM our driveway was full and the site was squared up with string and there were blue marks on the pad for the holes to be dug! We hadn't even walked back in the house from taking the above picture and we were being asked when the building inspector was coming to inspect the holes! All I could think was 'holes, you just got here'! But sure enough they were just about ready for the building inspector. </div>

Recently I've seen a lot of posts about batting and they are actually starting to drive me a little batty!<br />
<br />
So lets talk about batting. Batting is the material that goes between your backing and your quilt top. It is there to add warmth to your quilt. There are many different types of batting from all polyester (offers no additional warmth) to all cotton (is a natural fiber and does add warmth) and wool (the absolute warmest, lightest and nicest batting available in my opinion). <br />
<br />
I recently had an opportunity to take some pictures of quilt batting to show why I stay away from 'big box' stores batting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One of the things that you want out of your batting is an even distribution of the material.</div>
<br />

If you look at the upper left portion of this picture, you can see that the batting is much thicker than it is on the right side of this shot.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When a quilt using this batting gets washed what is going to happen is the quilt is going to be inconsistent in how it looks because the batting material is so inconsistent and the warmth offered will also be inconsistent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
I had a chance to do a little sewing of my own this past weekend and I decided that Joan Ford's pattern 'Petit Fours' would work out great! The pattern calls for a Layer Cake, a Jelly Roll and then a small amount for the binding and inner border. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I used a Jo Morton line of fabric for the 10" Squares and a Moda solid Jelly Roll to go along with it. I am THRILLED with how it looks! <br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">The pattern was not difficult at all but I did make a cutting mistake along the way. I've read both of Joan's books (</span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/ScrapTherapyTM-Cut-Scraps-Quilting-through/dp/1600853331/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1424125398&sr=1-1&keywords=cut+the+scraps" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">Cut The Scraps</a><span style="text-align: start;"> & </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/ScrapTherapy%C2%AE-Scraps-Plus-One-Patterns/dp/1600855199/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1424125454&sr=1-1&keywords=scraps+plus+one" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">Scraps Plus One</a><span style="text-align: start;">) and LOVED both of the books.

I spent a little time in my sewing room today! YEA!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had made a quilt for a baby shower
but wanted to be able to deliver it in a pillowcase so today was the day to get
the pillowcase done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love making
these, they are so quick and easy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Here’s what you need to make a single pillowcase:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pillowcase Fabric Requirements</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Makes 1 pillowcase)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .4in;">
1/8 yard for piping</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .4in;">
1/3 yard for band</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .4in;">
7/8 yard for pillowcase body</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cutting Requirements</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 – 2” x 41” (I used a 2 ½” by width of fabric)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 – 11” x 41” (I cut mine by WOF and then just cut off the
excess)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 – 26” x 41” (WOF)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or you can go to AllPeopleQuilt.com and visit the 1 Million
Pillowcase Challenge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’ve got
a bunch of free patterns on there to make a pillowcase, I used pattern
#15.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also did not follow their
sewing instructions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here’s how I
made them:</div>

Cut your pieces of fabric to the correct size.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I left all of my pieces the width of
the fabric and just cut the length down to the size I needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also had some 2 ½” strips left from
the quilt so instead of cutting that strip down or cutting a new one I used the
2 ½” strip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can use all the
same fabrics or you can switch them up, the choice is yours!</div>

Did you know that I teach an Embroidery Classes the 3rd Wednesday of every month? I do and I love it! Embroidery was something I learned as a pre-teen. My sisters and I were taught by our next door neighbor, Mrs. Langworthy. I remember a group of the neighbor girls getting together at her house and her teaching us. We were taught the basics and to this day I can't believe how lucky we were to have someone will to spend an evening every week with a group of pre-teen girls and teach us all how to stitch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have 2 classes, the first one is from 1:00-4:00 PM and in this class we are working on the Home Sweet Home An Embroidered Workbox by Carolyn Pearce. </div>

Each piece is tiny and because they re all so small they are really 'doable' in a short amount of time. Some of the stitches are ones we've already learned but some of them are completely new and we are having a lot of fun learning them.</div>

sister Jane and my sister-in-law Jeannie were also going I just HAD to go with
them! </span>I had a ball!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
The entire reason for going was to attend Quilter’s Take
Manhattan 2014.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a wonderful
show, so wonderful that this post is going to be in two sections!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first is going to be some eye candy
of the building in NYC, talk about a quilter’s paradise!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t tell you how wonderful it was
to walk around the city and look at the buildings! </div>

We were able to have two of our three children and their families home this year for Christmas. Our third daughter (OB Nurse) had to work on Christmas day and live quite a distance from us. She lives in Idaho with her husband and two children, they are both in the US Air Force so they were not able to come home. <div>

My Long Arm was humming for the last month trying to make certain that everyone got their quilts in time for Christmas. I am actually surprised that I managed to get it all done but I did! My projects on the other hand did not manage to get all done :(. I had hoped to get a quilt quilted for my husband and I designed a Christmas Stocking for our Grandchildren that I wanted to get quilted and put together but again that didn't happen. I figured I'm already getting started for Christmas next year!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I normally spend the week between Christmas and New Years cleaning out my sewing room and planning out my goals for the next year. By Christmas morning my sewing room looked like a bomb had exploded in it. Seriously, you couldn't walk 2 steps in the room without having to step over something! I did manage to get it back under control, my husband said that it deserved a 'before' and 'after' picture. My next small project is to review my goals from last year and finish writing down my 2015 goals. I have found that if I take the time to write my goals down, they actually happen. I can't begin to explain how excited I am for 2015 and the changes that are coming to my sewing room and my Long Arm Studio, I promise to let you in on it soon!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope all is well with you and your families!</div>

Happy Quilting!</div>

I feel like I've traveled all over the East Coast this last month! I visited NYC a few weeks back for Quilter's Take Manhattan and had a wonderful time, saw some incredible quilts and met some wonderful people, more on this trip soon I promise!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last week I spent 4 days in Atlanta Georgia attending the Southern Belle Statler Conference. This was an intense 4 days of learning some
pretty cool custom designs and how to use them on my Gammill Statler Long
Arm. The program was taught by Anita
Shakleford and Joan (pronounced JoAn) Knight and was geared towards custom
quilting and some of the new things my Gammill will do. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While there I also met four quilting
pattern designers in addition to seeing some of Anita’s new quilting
designs. The new designs ranged from the
very traditional to extremely modern. One
of the designers, Joyce Lundrigan has designed a group of triangle patterns
that are interchangeable! Yes! They are fantastic because if you don’t like
the inside of one of the triangles you can just take it out and insert a
different center design and all of these triangles can be used
individually. Here’s a snapshot of a
couple of her patterns</div>

The runner was really cute and looked beyond simple but one problem, I
didn't need a new table runner but I did need some new placemats! I adapted what I saw them doing to make some
new ones for my table! What do you

To make mine I used 4 – 5” WOF strips of Jo Morton’s new line of fabric

Jelly Bean Candies by Moda. You can

I also used “The Strip Stick” when pressing my seams open. This is a pretty handy tool to help when
pressing seams open or to one side because the iron concentrates on pressing
where the seam is. The Strip Stick is
available in 3 sizes: Mini, 18” & 45”, I like the 45” one it’s great when pressing borders too!</div>

I received my latest order from Erin Condren!! I have been searching for a calendar/planner all year and I finally have found one that is working for me! I have tried Franklin Covey, Day Timer and making own and none of them worked for me until I found Erin Condren Life Planner. In June I purchased my Fleur Feliz Rainbow Life Planner. When I ordered it I ordered just basic items that I knew I wanted right away just in case this ended up being another planner that just didn't work out for me.<br />

I also purchased a few new covers! I am so excited that I can now change</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my covers depending on my mood!! This cover is Party Pops in White. I think the colorful all caps 'Miss Marker's Quilts' is beyond PERFECT for those days I'm feeling like it's party time!</div>

I just HAD to get the note pads to go along with it! It thought these would be perfect for writing little notes to customers or for doodling quilting designs on. The paper quality was much nicer than I expected which makes me very happy! </div>

Just like all the Erin Condren products it is beautiful bright and fun! I like the layout of this especially. I'm not certain if they meant it to be used this way but really like the fact that the entire next month is on the left page so that you can easily reference the next month when making notes. Great layout people at Erin Condren!<br />
<br />
If you haven't tried any of Erin Condren's products yet I highly recommend them, the paper is very high quality and you can tell a lot of thought and planning went into the development of the layout. I am yet to be disappointed in any of the products I've purchased. If you click <a href="https://www.erincondren.com/referral/invite/margaretleuwen0714" target="_blank">here</a> you will receive a $10.00 off coupon for your first purchase. Start small like I did, I started with a notebook, if I had it to do over again I would have started with a Life Planner but either way the products are wonderful and well worth the wait period for printing and shipping!<br />

I was skeptical at first, figuring that one planner/calendar was like every other one on the market AND to add to that I had spent quite a bit of money in December on a new Franklin Covey planner. Because I was so skeptical I decided to take it slow and easy and purchase something that no matter what would come in handy for me.<br />

The things I like most about this address book are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. The space to write names and addresses isn't to big or to small, it's just the perfect size!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. There is a place to list both home and mobile phone numbers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Spacing for the email address is BIG! this is important considering some email addresses can be pretty LONG! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. I love the colorful pages, they are beautiful!</div>

Last but not least is a page marker that is easily movable within the address book. I did purchase a pen holder to put in my address book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I bought it in May and used it for the entire month and knew without a doubt I was sold on these products! I had originally thought that I would use it to keep track of my Quilting/Long Arm Schedule but have since changed my mind. The good news about my change of mind is now that the covers are removable I can just order a new cover for it. </div>

Great stickers behind the Calendar. In fact I like some of them better than the ones that came with my Life Planner. The stickers that have 'doc appt.' also have a space to write what time the appointment is at '@_______", same for hair appointments and dentist appointments! I like this feature a lot and when I order more stickers I will for certain be adding these to my purchase. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In the back you find the classic Erin Condren folder pockets and the zip lock pouch. I believe I will order a new cover soon and it will simply state Miss Marker's Quilts, Notes on the cover.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the above leads directly to what I received in the mail yesterday!!!! Yup! I received my 18 month 2014 - 2015 Erin Condren Life Planner!!!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my third (but not my last) purchase from Erin Condren. There were a couple of minor issues with this purchase, one my mistake and one theirs. I had wanted the cover to have Miss Marker's Quilts all capitalized, when I placed my order I was so excited to be getting it I didn't read carefully and so I didn't make a notation in the special instructions that I wanted all the words to be capitalized. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other thing that happened was I had ordered a set of elastic bands and did not receive them. I'm certain they will send them. I have contacted customer service and have heard nothing but good about them so there are no worries here.</div>

The weekly pages are set up perfectly! The spaces to write in are the perfect size, I like the fact that the day is split into thirds and the fact that on Sunday night I can write my goals for the week and then they are right in my face so that I can accomplish them. </div>

There were a total of 9 patterns and all of the quits were small wall hangings and are only available for club members. I managed to get 3 of the 9 tops completed and out of the 3 I managed to get 2 of them quilted and bound! Sue invited everyone from the group to her house for dinner and to see everyone's quilts! Dinner was fantastic but the Quilts were absolutely gorgeous! Sue strung a clothes line between the pillars on her porch so that we could show off our work!<br />

I have been busy getting ready for a local quilt show being put on by the Webster Quilt Guild, quilting quilts that are being shipped off to the International Quilt Market that is being held in PA later this month and getting ready to be out of town for 13 days.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was unable to attend the Quilt Show held by the Webster Quilt Guild this past weekend but this morning I got a call from my sister telling me I needed to call Judy (one of my customers) and ask her about the show. Well I did exactly what I was told and found out that one of Judy's quilts that I quilted WON the Vender's Choice Ribbon!!! Can you believe it? I was so thrilled! I thought I'd share some snapshots that Judy took of her quilt. I hope you enjoy them!</div>

I was asked how I go about picking out patterns to quilt on quilts and how I pick out the thread colors. I tried a couple of times to write out how I do it and finally gave up and took my video camera in the long arm room with me! Sometimes it's just easier to show while you describe what you are doing!<br />

I've tried out many different types of rulers and in the end my favorite is Creative Grids! Why? The plastic is clear so I can easily see my fabric. Creative Grids lines are black and white so they are easy to see and aren't hard on my eyes (the yellow lines drove me crazy!). They come in half increments which I use all the time and they have great grips on the back of them!<br />
