Amy's Creative Side|Quilt Blog|Modern Basics

Hi, I am Amy! I am a crafty wife and mom to four great kids. I love quilting and dreaming in fabric. Most days my kids keep me on my toes, but when I have the chance to sit at the kitchen table and create I am at ease. Quilting is my creative therapy and I love sharing here with you!

While our family does live in Utah, we are not LDS (Mormon). Our faith is Jesus Christ, and I strive to emulate Him in all that I say and do (write) in life and on this blog. I truly hope that you enjoy your time spent here with me!

If you would like to dig a little deeper, these couple of posts will give you more insight into my life.

Featuring Glenna — A Bloggers’ Quilt Festival Quilter!

TGIF – It’s been a long week in our house! I’m really looking forward to the weekend, you? Today’s featured quilter is Glenna of Hollyhock Quilts! Glenna has some fabulous quilts, and if you visit her blog you can see her vast collection of antique pieces. I hope you enjoy getting to know Glenna better –

1. When did you begin quilting?

It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been quilting for about 30 years now. Yikes!! It’s the only thing in my life I’ve done that long except for my marriage!

2. Why do you quilt?

It has been my creative outlet for a long time. I love the cameraderie that quilters share and the friendships I’ve made over the years are the best.

3. What is your favorite quilting tip?

Oh my! There are so many!! One of my favorites is from a long time quilting friend, Gloria Greenlee. She shared that if you have a border that’s wonky, you need to do a running stitch by hand right next to the binding of the quilt. Use a matching thread and you won’t even see it. It’s saved a wavy border for me more than once!

4. What was your inspiration for your Quilt Festival quilt?

I’m almost always inspired by antique quilts. I have one with a very similar tulip shape with a triangle shape in the center of it. I thought the heart would be a lot more fun and of course, rickrack looks good with everything!

5. Do you sew other things?

I really don’t. I made a lot of clothes before I started quilting, but these days I resent even having to hem something! Quilting is WAY more fun!!

6. Anything else you would like us to know about you?

Anyone who knows me knows my affinity for vintage fabric and feedsacks. In fact, I wouldn’t have a quilting career without them. Although, much of what I have done over the last few years has been of a more commercial nature, like designing fabric and publishing patterns and a book, my favorite thing to do is salvaging old pieces and making them into lovely art quilts that can be enjoyed in their second life. I’m hoping to do more of that in the near future.

—–

Thank you for sharing Glenna! Your quilts are beautiful, and I agree completely – Quilts are way more fun!

Have a great weekend everyone -

Amy

Whoo Hoo! I’m the first commenter.

Sadly I have finished nothing so far this year. Hopefully this weekend I will change that. Small kiddos plus a few weekends full of house guests puts a crimp in sewing time.

I’ve had one finish. I posted it on my blog. I finished a baby quilt that I used as a practice piece for my new sewing machine. I worked on finding the quarter inch, using a walking foot, and free motion quilting. Thanks for the chance to win.

Michelle - January 26, 2012 - 4:39 am

Hi. I loooove batiks! I made a quilt for my daughter’s bed with them and it is the most vibrant quilt I have ever made. Anyway, in 2012 I have exactly one finish! I bartered a quilt with my manicurist and delivered it to her on Tuesday. She loved it so much that she gave me extra credit! I have a few more appointments to go, yay me! Anyway, thanks for hosting this giveaway, I totally appreciate it!

Karin - January 26, 2012 - 4:52 am

what a great giveaway. The batiks always OOOH me, but for some reason I rarely buy them. They are really lovely though! I have had two quilt ‘finishes’ so far this year. One is an 80×80 postage stamp quilt, and one is a 40×40 baby quilt. I have a 70×70 kaleidoscope quilt basted and ready to quilt today, so that will be a third

KT - January 26, 2012 - 4:54 am

No finishes yet, though I’m close–finishing up my first bed-sized quilt (and second quilt ever!) for my son–I originally hoped to have it done for Christmas–now I’m aiming for Valentine’s Day–just a little more hand quilting to do, and then binding.

Beautiful bundle–hope I win–those are my colors!!

Aliene Sanchez - January 26, 2012 - 4:59 am

I have only finished small stuff because of sickness. I hope to do at least two quilts this year. I have them started. thanks for a beautiful give a way.

I have two more baby quilt tops done and ready to be quilted and a little Valentine hanging that just needs the binding hand stitched. I am already Jackie’s friend on FB.

You’re joking, right?????????? Finishes? I do have 3 flimsies finished – I just don’t know when they’ll become actual quilts. Soon, I hope. There are other projects I’d like to get started on. Thanks and I could really use these batiks to finish my son’s quilt’s back.

Those Batiks are just beautiful! I have finished 1 quilt top, well it was finished until I got some big idea that I was going to turn the tumbling hourglasses into butterfly’s. I may change my mind and may not make them butterflies though…I have also made a mug cozy and a mug rug.

First of all, I LOVE the colors of the fabrics! I’ve finished a small cross-stitch, a pair of sock (and am almost done with a second pair), a queen size Spin Wheels quilt and a whole cloth quilt (60″x60″). I quilted the whole cloth quilt between Christmas and New Years, but put on the binding and washed out the markings this year.

I’ve followed your blog for a while now, and you always inspire me to try to do more.

I had two lap quilts I had to quilt for a giveaway the second week of January. Got them done. I’ve been piecing fleece blankets, not a favorite thing to do but I really want to use up all my leftovers from robes and PJs from this Christmas and years past. I just hate to throw away good fabric. So far I’ve made 10 blankets, mostly crib and throw sized. I also bound 3 crib quilts and hope to get one more bound this weekend. It’s been a productive month. Thanks for asking.

So far this year, finished one lap quilt, a little (30″ square) quilt for one of my cats, and a mug rug.

mila@rimbun - January 26, 2012 - 6:14 pm

I have finished sewing 15 pieces of cloth pantyliners, 2 pad organisers, 3 cloth menstrual pads… emmmm what else, opsss 30 pieces of pocket tissue cover for my sister’s wedding… and one quilt blanket for a friend’s new born. Quite a lot, maybe because of the additional hi-speed machine in my sewing corner.
Thanks for the chance.

No finishes so far this year… I am hard at work on making a king-sized lone star quilt for my bedroom. It is quite a challenge, and so is finding time to work on it. I have three children, two school-aged and one preschooler. I’ve only been quilting for about 2 years, and so far I’ve made 3 twin-sized quilts and about a dozen table runners and wall hangings. (And of course, another half dozen or so projects in the works!) So I actually think I’m making great progress!

Vintage Modern Challenge Style – Design Challenge

Posted in give away, Inspiration

Hi there! This exciting challenge came through my inbox and I thought I should share!

This challenge was created to celebrate the history of sewing by recognizing both SINGER® and Coats & Clark, who are both celebrating significant anniversaries this year (160th and 200th, respectively); as well as educate and inspire through the life and work of Mary Brooks Picken, the authority on fashion and dressmaking in the early and mid-1900s .

Here’s a video from Amy explaining the challenge:

Visit Amy’s site, here, for details about patterns, and to download free patterns that can be used for the challenge. Also, Amy and her team have offered to give one of you two patterns of your choice, from Indygo Junction, to help you jump into the challenge.

To win:

Leave me a comment here, telling me your two most favorite patterns.

My current favorites are, In-style Suitcase Bag, and Uptown Top & Trousers, but it changes every time I look through them again!

I hope you are inspired to take on this challenge, and make something unique, and modern.

I’ll select a winner on Friday, January 27th, 2011.

Good luck and have fun!

Amy

I’m with you, each time I look I pick 2 new ones as my favorites! Currently I like the Kitchen Charms Apron and the Boudoir Basics, but there are several others in close competition for fave-of-the-day.

Sweet Moments

Posted in In the Kitchen, Me

All last week I was wanting and really needing to bake chocolate chip cookies for my family. I finally found the kitchen to myself, and took an hour to bake them!

Baking these was my cookie break on saturday, from quilt math and a little pattern writing. It was a good break!

I thought I would share our favorite recipe, it’s from ” Once Upon A Tart…” which is full of delicious recipes.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
20 tablespoons, unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
-
3 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
2. Cream butter and sugar together in a big bowl, using a whisk attachment attachment of an electric mixer on high speed, until they are fluffy and light lemon-yellow in color, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, using a paddle attachment of your mixer on low speed until no flour is visible . Then stir in chocolate chips.
4. Drop teaspoon size balls of cookie dough onto baking sheets, 1 1/2″ apart, and bake 10-12 minutes.
5. Pour a glass of milk and enjoy warm!

Hope your week is off to a great start – Amy

It’s really mouth watery. I’m looking forward on baking these cookies. I must eat these stuffs. It will review memories from my childhood which I’ve always wanted. Can you write other simple recipes to follow?

Thanks for sharing!

I had to laugh when I was reading this. My husband was just complaining this weekend that I don’t ever make ‘real’ chocolate chip cookies anymore. It’s so much quicker and less messy to make the cake mix cookies. I think I will take some time today to make your recommended recipe, thanks for sharing. Smiles~Beth

Chocolate cookies and milk are great combinations. I would like to bake some cookies myself too for my family but I still don’t have the luxury of time yet. What other flavors can you make when baking cookies?

Thanks for sharing that quick recipe of yours!

Amy, I can just barely see the 1st characters on your blog. The Tutorials and other tabs cover up part of the character. So I’m not sure I’m getting the correct measurements in your recipe. Is there something I need to do to fix this, or is it just the way your blog works? I reference your bindings Tutorial often so I love having the tab handy.

Yes I love chocolate chip cookies. Why do you think I named my shop “WillSewForChocolate”?!

Thanks, Cheryl
