Today is MY day of this wonderful blog hop. Thanks so much to Carol at <a href="http://www.justletmequilt.com/" target="_blank">Just Let Me Quilt</a> for inviting me to join.<br />
<br />
Valentine's Day is almost here so I decided to make a table runner. I am envisioning my husband and I having a romantic candlelight dinner at home ;)<br />
<br />
I made this up as I went. I used an embroidery design by Alba of Quilting the Thread Art Way called Hearts & Swirls. There are 20 designs on the CD in all formats and the sizes are 8" x 8" and 5" x 5".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
All the designs are so pretty it was hard to choose which one. I decided to use two different ones. I made two blocks with the designs centered.<br />

I used Moda fabric Sew & Sew by Chloe's Closet for the middle strip and Robert Kaufman batik Patina Handpaints Scarlet for two side strips. I added sashing and framed in the blocks with Kona Solid Pimento.<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First and foremost I want to Thank and apologize to Alida at <a href="http://tweloquilting.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tweety Loves Quilting</a>. I did not complete my project. I have many excuses but I won't bore you with them all. Short & Sweet I usually work the best when I have a deadline and start at the last minute under pressure. I like to work that way. I have been extra busy with things at <a href="https://www.thebrokeneedle.com/" target="_blank">The Broken Needle</a> the last couple of weeks. I was so looking forward to this hop and to actually sit down and have some sew ME time. Yesterday, (yes down to the last second, bad Wendy) I was working on my project and my Baby Lock "locked" ugh!!! Check out my lovely video. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"> I spoke with Alida and she said it would be fine to share my WIP. So here goes 😼</span><br />

MAUD LEWIS</h2>

(1903 - 1970)</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ideal_sans_book, helvetica, arial; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Maud Lewis exemplified the simple life. But simple doesn’t mean dull. The simplicity of her paintings, brushed initially with scrounged paint from local fishermen onto ubiquitous green boards and post cards, continue to evoke feelings of innocence, of child-like exuberance as enduring as the spring times she loved to paint. And today she still captures audiences intrigued by everyday scenes as diverse as hard-working oxen and whimsical butterflies.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ideal_sans_book, helvetica, arial; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Maud Dowley Lewis was born March 7, 1903 in South Ohio, a community near Yarmouth. Her father Jack would provide a moderately prosperous living as a respected craftsman, making harnesses and serving as a blacksmith. Agnes, her mother, favored artistic pursuits including painting, folk carving and music. Born disfigured with sloped shoulders and her chin resting on her chest, Maud led a confined but happy home life after she quit school at 14, perhaps in part to escape the mocking of her peers. “What is life without love or friendship?” she once confided to a friend. Her mother lovingly taught her to play the piano before arthritis crippled her hands. Physical deformity may have been her lot, but even more tragic was the loss of both her parents within two years. Who would care for Maud? Thankfully, an aunt who lived in Digby took her in. There she would later answer a newspaper ad that would determine the course of her life. A man named Everett Lewis wanted a housekeeper for his cottage in Marshalltown. She married him in 1938 at the age of thirty-four and would never travel more than an hour’s drive from her birthplace. “I ain’t much for traveling anyway,” she said later, “as long as I have a brush in front of me, I’m all right.” Cameo cigarettes added their share of comfort as well.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ideal_sans_book, helvetica, arial; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Although short in stature with hands gnarled by arthritis as the years passed, she stood tall when she plied her brush over green-backed particle board. Everett Lewis, a stingy, parsimonious but certainly hard-working man, kept house and made meals allowing Maud to spend most of her time delving into her world of wonder and creating fanciful works of art. Maud gathered images from her happy childhood and limited excursions in a Model T with Everett to paint cheerful images on dust pans, scallop shells and even on her house. They would settle into a routine where Everett enjoyed peddling and haggling over the paintings Maud would love to paint. The happiness she painted first attracted neighbours, then tourists and eventually even international attention. It started with a Star Weekly newspaper article and then a 1965 CBC Telescope program featuring her unique works. Her notoriety began to bloom like the cherry trees that garnished several of her paintings. Orders came in so fast that the paint hardly had time to dry--one reason you may notice fingerprints on some edges of her paintings.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ideal_sans_book, helvetica, arial; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Her style became as fanciful as her subjects. She painted a world often without shadows, autumn leaves on winter landscapes, and even 3-legged oxen. Was she adding humour in her subtle, shy way? Her gentle nature and magnetic smile might give that away. Awkwardly bent over a painting, she may have been squinting and intense, but her inner joy escaped onto her panels with unrivaled determination and vitality. Small wonder her work garnered the attention of even the Nixon White House. Ever pragmatic, Maud wrote to ask that funds be forwarded before she sent the requested two panels to the President! Today her work unequivocally demands status as “important art” in numerous fine-art collections around the world.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ideal_sans_book, helvetica, arial; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Much like her American counterpart, Anna Marie Robertson (Grandma Moses), Maud was uniquely creative, self-taught, specialized in painting everyday rural life, loved animals and appreciated the beauty of nature. Both initially sold their paintings for just a few dollars, but saw their work increase dramatically over the years. The works of Grandma Moses command prices in the $30,000 to $600,000 range. Of comparable quality, Maud’s paintings currently fetch $6,000 to $20,000, holding much promise for the future.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ideal_sans_book, helvetica, arial; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Not formally trained, Maud adopted a style that emerged from inside the heart of a true artist. As such, she could produce images of enduring quality and appeal, images that transformed her maritime surroundings into painted visions. The irresistible charm of her art had triumphed over the arrows of adversity.</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used a piece of muslin and sprayed it down with Terial Magic. I "love" this stuff. It makes your fabric stiff and you can put it in the printer and print your images. No need for the fabric sheets that you can buy in packs of 4. You can make your own! Costs much less this way too. Also, there is no need for any stabilizer. Once you are finished if you want you can wash the Terial Magic out and the stiffness is gone. Yahoo!</span></div>

Yes, Irish I was quilting. My husband and I opened a quilt and yarn shop in Bunn, NC about 25 miles Northeast of Raleigh. We have been open for 8 months. Fortunately we have been so busy I haven't had much time to make any quilts for myself. I am usually making samples for the shop when I can. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span>To celebrate Worldwide Quilting Day which is tomorrow, Marian from Seams to be Sew has brought us all together for this wonderful blog hop and a lot of Giveaways. I have to say I have not blogged for almost an entire year for obvious reasons :) My sewing room has changed quite a bit. Here is what my new sewing room looks like. </span></pre>

Thanks so much to Alida @ <a href="http://tweloquilting.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tweety Loves Quilting</a> for inviting me to join this artsy blog hop. This has really made me step into something different. I usually like abstract art. Anything that is kind of on the odd side, weird, and out there. However, since I live in the country the first piece of recognizable art that came to my mind was American Gothic by Grant Wood. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the painting.</div>

I believe this is the 4th time I have done a thread art/colored pencil piece. I really enjoy it and I think I get better each time. What a neat idea Alida. Thanks again for inviting me.

First I am sew sorry, my day was supposed to be yesterday. I was on vacation in the Tennessee mountains and tried to post for over an hour. I think there was a really slow internet connection at the hotel. It kept crashing. Now, I am back to civilization. Time to go back to work too whaaaa. Thanks SO MUCH to Marian at <span style="color: lime;"><a href="http://www.seamstobesew.com/" target="_blank">Seamstobesew </a> </span>for continuing to be our host and bringing us all together.<br />

When I saw the name of this hop you know I "had" to join. Heck, I AM "Kwilt Krazy". I have been quilting for about 4 years. I had a machine that my Mom bought me many years ago. I tried to sew not knowing what in the world I was doing and kept getting frustrated so I gave up and then it just sat and collected dust. One day a co-worker was showing me all of her crafty projects and some of them involved sewing. She inspired me to pull out that old dusty thing and I was determined to learn all about it. I decided to take a quilt class and then I was hooked. I still can't believe all the times, in the beginning that I would look through magazines wishing I could make those beautiful quilts. Now, I can look through and think "oh I could do that" : ) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a little quilt tour:</div>

My very first quilt. I remember I had no clue how to pick out fabric so I had a lady at the shop pick them out for me.</div>

Next I decided to join <a href="http://www.quiltsforkids.org/" target="_blank">Quilts for Kids</a>. I love making quilts to give to those in need. It makes it sew much more worth it. Below is another that I made for orphaned children in Africa.</div>

See, I am getting more and more obsessed...Krazy....as I learn more and more. Sometimes Krazy is a good thing. I can't believe that I have now made a design that was recently in Quiltmaker 100 blocks. If interested check out my previous post to see that block design. Lastly I want to show you this sampler quilt that I designed just for this hop. Since I started my blog I have had this image in my mind of a lady all flustered and Krazy with quilt blocks all around. LOL...my vision is now a reality. </div>
