</tbody></table>Last year was my first time to enter anything in the fair. I had thought about it but since the fair starts on Labor Day, it is at the end of my busiest time of year. I barely have time to pay attention, much less sew. Since I did win best in the show, I felt it necessary to enter again. <br />
<br />
This year I have a lofty goal. I want to get ready for SAGA and I want to be ready for classes with Jeannie Baumeister. I have 4 UFOs from SAGA conventions and I plan to finish two of them. The other 2 are hand sewn and I would have to finish them on the machine to get done... one has a ton of feather stitching and hem work. Not happening in a 3 week span. <br />
<br />

</tbody></table>So what am I planning on entering? One is Jeannie's Snail Shirring Bonnet. I have to attach the shirred eyelet and do the embroidery.<br />
<br />
I also have a daygown from a class in Atlanta. My table mate Martha finished hers shortly after she got home. Mine has been in various stages of completion. (Could have been I was late getting into class the first day) I had hoped to finish it last year, but I really think this year is the year. <br />
<br />
I also want to make at least one wee care gown. I am thinking a teeny tiny one. We shall see. <br />

It is a 12 step program of sorts for tired sewists. For 12 months, for 12 days, I will sew 1 hour. We all know that sewing that one hour will do us good. It will make us want to sew another hour. I am going to pledge to do it. I figure hand sewing on my quilt will be a start. <br />

I was able to go to Houston Quilt Market in October and have been envious of all the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: line-through;">lucky stiffs</span> people who are attending. <br />
<br />
Just a few pics from Houston to make you realize what you are missing as well. <br />

This is a pic from my favorite booth. Yes, they had tons of buttons... tons. Unfortunately for me they were located across the aisle from the booth where I was working. <br />

Okay so what goes through ones mind to make them think... I think I will save all these selvedges and make a dress. Not just any dress mind you. A knock your socks off dress. Wowser! <br />
<br />
I have seen all sorts of things made of selvedges lately. I might have to save a few of mine and try my hand at making something with them. <br />

Not a dress mind you!Robin Harthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13973983902751504739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066838633910751654.post-77862761506681082372010-05-10T16:49:00.000-07:002010-05-10T17:12:20.771-07:00Snowing, flowers and even more flowersI am the worst blogger ever. I accept that award.

It is snowing, it is May, I am officially over the snow. I took a few pics of my flowers as I hope they are okay. I love daffodils. They remind me of my maternal grandmother. Mammaw had hundreds, no thousands of daffodils. She had some varieties that I have only seen in her yard. I moved a lot of bulbs from her house to my yard when I was living in Mississippi. I sure would love to have some of them here. I planted 200 bulbs at my house one year. The walk from my deck to the lake was gorgeous in spring.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/S-igIWP8NEI/AAAAAAAAAJk/Qh1wHhikp9w/s1600/class.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/S-igIWP8NEI/AAAAAAAAAJk/Qh1wHhikp9w/s200/class.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469797812713305154" border="0" /></a><br />Gail Doane is coming in a few weeks to teach a class here at the lodge.

Confused I asked if he meant the Bobcat. Yes, he was specifically interested in the snowblower attachment. We had a conversation about the equipment and found he was here to direct a commercial for Kia. They were wanting a snow covered road and snow in the trees. <div><br /></div><div>Well, there is not any snow in the trees as it last snowed 2 weeks ago. Discussion was held about using the Bobcat to produce snow in the trees. How long it would take, how much snow... etc etc. So Rick gets in the Bobcat to show them how it works and explain that currently they are not going to get the look they want with the hard snow we have on the ground. They leave... wondering what to do next, but not without tipping us for our time. </div><div><br /></div><div>Just so you know ... this is a picture of a Bobcat like mine, with the blower attachment working. It was too dark today and I did not have the camera ready for pics! </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Robin Harthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13973983902751504739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066838633910751654.post-91575250177519815812009-12-28T10:43:00.000-08:002009-12-28T10:54:28.613-08:00The rest of my life..Since I rarely get to sew, I decided I would start posting about the rest of my life.

Or as Barri likes to call it, that sewing thing she does. This year there were 2 sessions. I was signed up for the second session. I forgot to take pics the first day but thought I would kinda walk you through the second day with pictures. </div><div><br /></div><div>Day One we worked on June Lake Quilt 3. This being the 3rd year and since we are so original, the name is as well. The kits were filled with 30 different Lucien prints. I love the colors and really hope to get it finished... one day. Hey, my other two are done, just not sent off to be quilted yet. </div><div><br /></div><div>Day Two started off with me leaving the lodge after getting a cup of coffee. The view of Carson Peak was breath taking as usual.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/SjkxOUNa9OI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/mYobFRDDxms/s1600-h/IMG_0740.JPG"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/SjkxOUNa9OI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/mYobFRDDxms/s200/IMG_0740.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348360154492105954" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So we arrive at camp (otherwise known as the June Lake Community Center) at 8:30 AM to start sewing.

It is the primitive Christmas one on the wall. Barri is showing someone the </div><div>back of the June Lake Quilt 3. </div><div><br /></div><div>So we get our kits and start cutting our strips. At this point I should tell you that I had helped Barri cut and put together kits so I already had mine and had traced off all my designs. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/SjkqzcXnobI/AAAAAAAAADY/Ie0WR_GdpfY/s200/IMG_0729.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348353095756128690" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /><div>As I sat down to the table, I was pleasantly greeted with my new machine cover and my matching tote bag. The bag was made by my dear friend Pam at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">SewGracious</span> <a href="http://sew-gracious.blogspot.com/">http://sew-gracious.blogspot.com/ </a>I used it for SAGA last year and had no real plans for this matching fabric when I bought it. I do love the cover.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yes that is yesterdays kit... time to put away as we have no need to finish that quilt today. Can you say UFO??? </div><div><br /></div><div>The fun thing about camp is that they feed you. Fresh fruit in the morning with muffins but today was a treat... freshly baked cinnamon rolls. Yummy! </div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/Sjks1POe-II/AAAAAAAAADg/1zYEGrLgyto/s1600-h/IMG_0730.JPG"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/Sjks1POe-II/AAAAAAAAADg/1zYEGrLgyto/s200/IMG_0730.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348355325611145346" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /></a></div><div>That is my outline for my letter C. I only did it and H and decided I better sew. Barri and her sister Cheri designed this quilt. Cheri taught most of the class and has a very laid back style of sewing. She does not like seam rippers and there are no right or wrong ways to do things... yours is only different. We laughed several times about me doing this embroidery first and tracing first etc. I promised her that it would not be a problem.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/SjkuuySUGmI/AAAAAAAAAD4/TxeITt8x6tw/s1600-h/IMG_0739.JPG"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/SjkuuySUGmI/AAAAAAAAAD4/TxeITt8x6tw/s200/IMG_0739.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348357413786622562" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /></a>Not a problem at all really. Now if you cannot see at first glance, I have sewn the blocks upside down. Cheri's solution was to just retrace the designs later. Mine was to use the seam ripper and sew them back correctly. We laughed.... and laughed. <div><br /></div><div>Sewing straight seams for days does get oh .... boring? And trying to figure out which plaid/design to put where .... challenging. But alas, it does turn out pretty. </div><div><br /></div><div>Barri had wonderful help in the kitchen by her husband and family.

I will not submit this one for judging. </p><p>Now for more coffee.... want a cup??? </p>Robin Harthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13973983902751504739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066838633910751654.post-15501638207972393332009-03-02T11:09:00.000-08:002009-03-02T11:58:51.150-08:00Worst Blogger Ever award goes to...<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/Saw6K0pC7uI/AAAAAAAAABY/rJ0ZgnB9evw/s1600-h/first_closeup.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308682018366877410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/Saw6K0pC7uI/AAAAAAAAABY/rJ0ZgnB9evw/s320/first_closeup.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>ME!! I know, I have been behind in my duties to keep you all informed of my life or lack of one. I actually took pics of my mantal to post at Christmas both at the lodge and at the house... did not post. Took a pic of the cutest blonde haired, blue eyed boy to ever call me Gigi on Christmas day.... did not post. Took pics of a coat I cut out as I was doing it to post... did not post.<br /><br /><br />So as I sit and stitch bullions in color 120 on an Old Fashioned Baby gown, (Thanks Martha) I decided to post.<br /><br /><br /><br />I am dreaming Christening gowns as it will be my next project. While it will be made of imperial batiste as the mom does not iron, I do have a nice stash of laces to use. I plan to use some of the lace I used on a first communion dress I made a few years ago.<br /><a id="mainImageLink" href="http://hssdelphi.smugmug.com/gallery/179744_yei2e#162999462_k9vbN-A-LB"></a></div>Robin Harthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13973983902751504739noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066838633910751654.post-91895518832767537212008-11-20T12:13:00.000-08:002008-11-20T12:28:43.916-08:00Bookworm Award<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/SSXIX37FiSI/AAAAAAAAAAU/D83aJJvXrtU/s1600-h/lovetheone2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/SSXIX37FiSI/AAAAAAAAAAU/D83aJJvXrtU/s320/lovetheone2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270839251381356834" /></a><br />Now this is really funny... or at least to me. <div><br /></div><div>My 'friend' Martha at http://southernmatriarch.blogspot.com gave me this award. The rules are simple.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Pick up the closest book you can lay your hand on. </div><div>2. Turn to page 56. </div><div>3. Find the 5th sentence.</div><div>4. type out that sentence in your blog post</div><div>5 (and here is where I will fail) Pass it on to five people. </div><div><br /></div><div>Okay... so on the trunk that acts as a table in front of the slipper sofa at the end of my bed (got that?) lay the book... Love the one you're with by Emily Giffin .. it is fiction. I know because otherwise it would be really funny. </div><div><br /></div><div>so page 56, There is nothing more satisfying that capturing that one, perfect image. </div><div><br /></div><div>BTW, great book. I love all of her books. She also looks like the blonde on Lipstick Jungle. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now to find 5 more readers of my blog so I can bug them to do this... NOT! </div>Robin Harthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13973983902751504739noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6066838633910751654.post-63984780408821739122008-11-14T21:00:00.000-08:002008-11-14T21:34:29.960-08:00Welcome to my world!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/SR5bA3hOREI/AAAAAAAAAAM/XYDv8g6j8Ts/s1600-h/IMG_0494.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dbChhP-_cfM/SR5bA3hOREI/AAAAAAAAAAM/XYDv8g6j8Ts/s320/IMG_0494.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268748684531483714" /></a><br />I decided I would join the world of bloggers. About time you might say... but then it is getting to be that time of year where the snow starts flying and life gets a tad slower. <div><br /></div><div>This is the view from my bedroom window a month ago. The leaves have fallen off the trees, the snow is gone from the pines for the moment. I hope to change this view every time the view changes. I wish this was the view from the sewing room, but it looks out on the street. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Sew, welcome to my world. My place on the internet. I had a hard time thinking of keeping a blog devoted to sewing, so you might get a little fishing on the side... or snow removal... or how to cope with a child with aspergers or .. just pictures of my grandson. Remember, it is my world and I am glad you visited! </div>Robin Harthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13973983902751504739noreply@blogger.com4
