Grant custom takes me a whole lot longer to work on but the end results are so worth it! Approximately 20 some hours on it...but when I laid it out it sang to me! Lalalalala!!!! This one will hang at BBQ & More at 123 Broadway, Paducah ky during the quilt show the end of this month.

<div>
The last real post I did was in January for moving day for Squiggy...my long arm. Moving on</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The last quilt I did in the garage was mine!!!! Shocking. So the story behind this quilt I had taken it to a class. She would give us suggestions on how to quilt it. We got off on the wrong foot and she picked this quilt to shreds!! The final straw was when she told me I had UNDERPANTS in my quilt. I'm not saying where...most people don't have a clue. BUT I got no help what so ever. But a fellow quilt DID help me and once I started it I saw the potential! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Midway into the quilting of said UP up and Away...UP is the abbreviation for UnderPants...Bill says he wants to move the long arm machine. So Squiggy was the first to move into our new house. And UP up and Away was the last quilt to be done in the garage and the first to be finished in the new house!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm now in a panic to finish the binding for it to hang in our Ice House quilt show in Mayfield KY for the month of April. I need to have it bound and labeled by Monday night. I always have worked well under pressure!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
(Now let's see if I can post a picture)</div>
<div>
And the answer I is no!<br />
Now no ..now to figure out this!!!<br />

And when I get tired of quilting I can go to the sunroom and do some hand stitching</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_277c_3aa1_8452_6d6d" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyFqrzC-5L6lOsCbrCnGZly1nU3DDfaIBAULgZzc1dK3BhsRbVfIqYMVfLp5yHeBzrb6rpL8FyfxfTPDx6T8OFV0qSaNJiDsBkkB5bJtxMAPtDOM2aKYnQuMz69FhY3wIznACjrrf7LAA/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 974px; height: auto;"> <br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>And so with Squiggy all set up and our first full day of moving under our belt...I close up shop and look forward to another day of moving MORE BOXES!!!</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br></div>Shirley Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185711148312741128noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990346806182919246.post-52508853795644936712017-01-20T07:56:00.001-06:002017-01-20T08:48:21.266-06:00I'm blown away!<div><img id="id_459d_ac4f_48fc_72b0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4iP723xWCCxPUf-XPgde8RUpfAIjvWsBH3QCMQcTevdzawU4YUZCt0YTpzImO9s-Ut4Xq78xsdgp_hesrHDon89FVKJuoSiUcblhFAkhyphenhyphenKANtTFiRTSvsf0QDt1xN7T4dLuH2XVMrS5w/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 158px; height: auto;"> </div><a href="click here to read more" id="id_9e54_5d62_5c43_e6d4">click here to read more</a><div><br></div>Everyone knows I'm an APQS super fan. Ok ok maybe the biggest fan! The APQS blog is featuring their family of owners who run small businesses. My great friend and APQS rep, Angela Huffman, contacted me a little bit ago and asked if I would be her Guinea Pig. Well, of course! She sent me a list of questions, which I answered and sent back. And I'm being featured in the APQS blog! On their FB page! And I'm on cloud 9!!! <div><br></div><div>I really can't believe that this little no name from South Wales, NY, who spent most of her life as Bill's wife or Bill and Bob's mom has found a path to take. I'm sorry I found it so late in life, but I'm not going to waste a moment of this ride! My quilting is my quiet time..it gives me strength to carry on to the goals I set for myself. My quilting is my encouragement. When I see what I can create on a quilting frame, I carry that enthusiasm to the other corners of my life. My quilting gives me joy. As I look down to my quilting the stitches they remind me where I started and where I am. Never stop learning, never stop trying never stop believing in myself.. my quilting changes from day to day. It can be my Funtime, or my solice. Then again it challenges me! But mostly it is my satisfaction. </div><div><br></div><div>I have to thank my list of customers, without them I'd have no UFOs ...I'd have time to quilt my own...lol just kidding I wouldn't change a thing. I'm looking forward to this new year, a new home (which Bill finally admitted my sewing room is too small!!!) and a list of new quilt! Thank you everyone, for being with me on this journey!</div>Shirley Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185711148312741128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990346806182919246.post-59712828354104154642017-01-08T18:35:00.001-06:002017-01-08T18:39:43.510-06:001/8/17 New quilts for 2017My first post was a success so I'm back!! Did you miss me? Lol <div><br></div><div>Since the holidays I've been working hard. I have an incentive to work hard...new machine you ask, nope, I wish. Vacation? Nope...try root canal and crown. Did you know you now have to see a specialist to have a root canal!!! What happened to your regular dentist doing it? Sigh. This means TWO bills instead of one. So I'm now working hard to pay for a crown. And then I'm declaring I'll be Queen Shirley!🤴</div><div><br></div><div>So what have I been working on, thank you for asking!</div><div><br></div><div>This is Ruth Ann's. She is a quilt judge from Illinois. I've been working with her for 3 or 4 years now. I remember doing a couple for her and then my friend said "oh, you did know she is a quilt judge" 😲 say WHAT? I guess she is happy because I've done many for her. This is her most recent</div><div><br></div><img id="id_7467_41c4_5c7e_eeb5" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-RMXhOrIBU_A3E5-7YE_R2PII7da2QEFtJ4qNtPvGcepJcC3Un-85ythfT1mKwLfdFTuCtpNaSsQ9Tb4KWbXNgKThCDM8K1IQIPl94ELRuOsxWb22pNv3wMEvbTlf0GbHIwaHQIBL9Ns/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 705px; height: auto;"> <div><br></div><div><br><div>She sent me pictures of how she wanted it quilted. I think I nailed it! I sent her a few photos and she said she loves it! I used my go to batting, Hobbs Heirloom and my go to Glide thread. How I love Glide! Altogether I think I have about 16-18 hours. Seemed like it would go on forever but dang it was worth it!</div></div><div><br></div><div>Then a mini break over New Years and I worked on a couple of my own...I know the quilter needs a quilter </div><div><br></div><div>On to a friend from Alaska! Now if you go way WAY aback on this blog you'll find where Wanda and I met! She saw my blog, contacted me. I did a couple for her and returned them before her LQS had her others, that they had had for months, finished and returned. Lol dang I was good back then! </div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_7845_93c4_a4cc_c116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDIJlXAJXuGmvHUh8ayIuEOqujjkkKIPtORug5J6HPYbIKxDby-Vs8iOWQQ6zoSdsZht4va4YimlU_dF2nt20SOCsv5oVknybjOMmLHQr7UAv4JQvjUGINR6yLtQdJheG-79cI9KVdDyU/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 718px; height: auto;"> <br></div><div><br></div><div>We decided on a feather panto! Of course Heirloom and Glide combo. Thread is a creamy purple. Does that make sense? Can purple be creamy? Well it works here! I have one more to do this week for Wanda and then I'll send them home.</div><div><br></div><div>And just when you think I was done! While waiting for Wanda to reply I loaded Roxanne's and worked on that one yesterday. Youv probably heard of Bonnie Hunter. duh, who hasn't!! Well is her Wild and Goosy pattern. Roxanne is a far better person than me!! These flying geese patterns finish to about 1x1.5". No clue how many she has in this one...should I count them? Naaa! I'll quilt it but I'll never make it! </div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_f8a1_af67_524b_a9fb" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjor1137GrEt4rI3ANE5RmC82a8XZiABJNyYmOQQQU1n0GWkPdul81CvrNFtw8anMksc09EedLYyps9vyoaSW4G91MDs7ZRCEvoibNBXGqzbUzfJPoGDKtrz3PzWWs1HdcHeEtdADre2gs/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 718px; height: auto;"> <br></div><div><br></div><div>Yes Heirloom and Glide. But she decided on her stand by gold thread. Mind you not dark gold, nor light gold...but a rich medium gold. I think it's a GOLDielocks and 3 bears thing...lol Roxanne requested something curvy. This panto called Adaigo filled the bill. It's curvy, looks like feathers. Looks like curling waves of gold! It's beautiful!</div><div><br></div><div>Ok, I'm done! Will load another one tomorrow. Should have done it today but I was busy uploading pictures to google pictures...in a way I do miss the old photos! But what would I need them for in years to come! I look at old photos and think..now who made that one???? Thanks for joining in...have a great night!</div><div><br></div><div> </div>Shirley Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185711148312741128noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990346806182919246.post-29153281706122342282017-01-08T11:38:00.001-06:002017-01-08T18:39:27.523-06:001/8/17 Been three yearsNow where do I start! Three years how many quilts have gone through the "Cave"? I have no idea but I'd say a couple hundred. The "cave" has seen good times and bad! Mostly good. Most recently the cave has come above ground. We sold our house, moved into a metal building garage and are building a new house. We are almost finished and in a few weeks will move in.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Remember my longarm is called Squiggy. He hasn't left my side, nor will he! He's here in the "garage" and kept Quilting except for a month in April while we packed up, stored much, and moved to the other side to of town. So here is Squiggy's new "cave". It's going to be fun to get my stash and stuff out of storage sort of like getting all new stuff! While my new room is smaller than the last cave, this cave has storage! I'm s anxious now to move in. <br />
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here it is, a brand new year! A brand new house! And brand new quilts to be quilted. Let's see if I can keep this blog going!</div>

I am on Facebook, Custom Quilting By Shirley Jackson<br />
Come find me!Shirley Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185711148312741128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990346806182919246.post-47895530549426859952014-06-30T11:14:00.001-05:002014-06-30T11:14:28.792-05:00I'm such a great quilter but such a terrible blogger! I feel I write the same thing in several different places. It all about quilting since our grand kids had the audacity to grow up and move beyond wanting a gramma to bake them cookies. So, recently, I have put all my energy into quilting for others. I haven't quilted one of my own all year!<br />
<br />
If I remember correctly I could not get a picture to post in my blog using my iPad, since it has been almost a year since I blogged, let's see if that is still true. YEP that's right. So I need to start uploading all my pics to Their pic program or put all my pics on lap top, or just skip doing pictures and go back to quilting.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the group on facebook had a post that linked to the posters blog. She asked me what the name of my blog was and I was almost too embarrassed to tell. I used to blog a lot, the came Facebook and I started a custom quilting page there. So of I were to blog about a quilt here, then in a closed group on Yuku, then on my Facebook page, and my Custom page, and to any of my friends who don't do FB but have emails..as you see same thing in several places. I'd being sending all my time copy and pasting and not on quilting. <br />
<br />
Ok enough blogging, back to quilting and figure out HOW in the heck to get a pic in here!!!Shirley Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185711148312741128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990346806182919246.post-52315858959929227352013-08-22T15:29:00.000-05:002013-08-22T15:29:03.596-05:00A Post of Pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

PLUS I have more pictures from more I did in May on another computer. SO I had to make a decision - did I want to blog or did I want to quilt...as you can see from the above what my decision was. I hope you enjoy...Shirley Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01185711148312741128noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990346806182919246.post-71544210373826137672013-04-11T08:24:00.002-05:002013-04-11T08:24:59.232-05:00All most time for............PADUCAH QUILT SHOW!!!! <br />
<br />
This is the ONE time during the year that I get really excited! And guess what I got in the mail a couple weeks ago.... A summons for jury duty...and when....DURING QUILT WEEK! I have company coming, signed up for a class, and now this. So my question is...would you want a disgruntle quilter on your jury panel? After one visit to the court house and a 2 phone calls - I've been excused. WHEW - the the planning begin!<br />
<br />
I finish Phyllis's "last minute" quilt the other day - no more quilting until after the show.<br />

This one was returned in 2 days - ONLY because of 2 factors...1) I didn't have any other quilts from others that were ahead of hers and 2) I wanted to get it out before the show I would hate to think of it sitting there waiting on me. Phyllis was beyond happy when I called to say it was done!</div>

My girlfriend, Sherry aka S.Belle, is COMING! She hasn't been here in years and I'm totally excited about her and her hubby's visit. She has come for the show before and we had SO MUCH FUN. But this time we are taking an applique class together. Pretty cool huh? Being friends for over 30 years - still loving each others company - still missing each other since we moved to KY. Says a LOT ... I'm so excited...she just txt me...12 more days! HOLY CRAP...I have to go clean! See ya!</div>

We Encourage Each other...AKA we NAG! And I totally forgot it! So we decided to postpone it until next weekend. So I was a slug. All I did was quilt Roxanne Star quilt and my Hunter star. What a slug! I will try to do better next weekend for EW!!<br />

Here is Roxanne's:<br />
It was a swap on Carol Doak's Yahoo group. <br />

Quilted it with a simple stippling with a swirly heart (Appropriate since it will be a gift for her niece's wedding gift.)</div>

For a brief moment I was all caught up. On Saturday the mailman delivered one from Aggie. Saturday night I show pictures to Roxanne (I'll deliver it when we go to the guild meeting in 2 weeks) She told me by then she will have another UFO ready for me. And THEN last night Phyllis called and we made arrangements to meet tomorrow for her to give me one of hers. Well it WAS nice to be caught up...even if it was only for an hour or two. lol </div>

One gal hand dyed all the fabrics, another pieced the wall hanging, I quilted it, now handing back to Fran who will do the rod pocket and binding. It really is exciting to be in a new group and have them accept me so easily. <br />

This one is a log cabin block but cut on 60* angles. It's so pretty that I think I need to make one for myself. With the Paducah show coming up I could easily find some f4 in hand dyed. </div>

Placement of the panto was a little difficult for me. I wasn't sure where to start it to get the pattern in the center of the flower. SO I started in the center then went back up and did the top row. I didn't stitch down the top until I was sure. I think I like seeing the rose in the center of the yellow flower.</div>

Here is the back - I just love the flower motif. When I do mine I will use this panto again. Love it!<br />
<br />
I also did a tshirt quilt...sorry no pictures I forgot...and delivered to her yesterday. She is a newbie and wanted the back to be soft - so she bought a knit fabric...it was a lot like working with minky. WOW did it ever stretch! I wasn't sure which way to put the most stretch - cross wise or length wise. I ended up putting it length wise and it stretched a good 8 to 10 inches. Not sure how it will wash up...but I don't think I will ever quilt another one with a knit backing!<br />
<br />
I'm now working on Roxanne's stars...I'm hoping to finish stuff before the Paducah show!<br />

I think it turned out very well. I know I am my own worst critic... but there are things I'd do differently - BUT the back...OMG the back is drop dead gorgeous. Now I'm thinking I need to do a one piece for myself. Hmmmm so many ideas rolling around in my head. Anyway - here are the pictures...<br />

OMG Shirley they arrived today and were here when I got home from work. They are awesome!!!! I cannot believe how much better the jelly roll quilt turned out. I have to admit when I had finished it I was not too thrilled with it and really thought I would not do another one but WOW it looks awesome now with the quilting you did.<br />The Xmas wall hanging looks perfect and your quilting is hiding my terrible applique. Thank you so much I am thrilled!!!!!!!<br />

<br />
Yesterday I decided to:<br />
1) Finish Rita's Christmas Wall hanging<br />
2) Load and Finish Pat's Baby Quilt <br />
3) Load and work on Rita's Blue & Yellow Jelly Roll....<br />
<br />
AND<br />
Here is Rita's wall hanging...I think it turned out pretty darn AWESOME! I really love it. Funny thing was I didn't know what to do to it. Rita said do anything I wanted...something easy and simple. I couldn't do that...I knew that this one is going to be a cherished Christmas tradition each year and I needed to make it special. Rita appliqued each Christmas figure and I knew I couldn't just do a panto over them. So I double Echoed each then did a swirly circle motion to fill it in. <br />

I was contacted by Kate L. of WKMS Radio. This is the public broadcasting station for Murray State University. She saw my interview for WK&T magazine and was wondering if I would accept an invitation to be interviewed on the radio. OMG!! So I agreed and yesterday spent a most enjoyable 9 minutes describing how the Internet helps quilters. <br />

I have a top to work on as soon as an order from Superior Threads arrives. I also ordered some light blue to do my blue/white stars with. LOTS of wide open white blocks. After I pieced it that way I hated it. So it will be a change to learn how to fill in the wide open spaces!</div>

Here is a top that I picked up last week from Phyllis. This is Ruth Ann T's and I think it is amazing!</div>

Ruth Ann suggested a bright variegated thread - and I SO agree. We will be doing 2 different leaves in the black sashing, feathers in the colored pieced blocks and something simple in the printed fab. section. I'm leaning toward some diagonal cross hatching. I think it would be simple - but it wouldn't bring in another quilting pattern. </div>

Today the mailman dropped off a box from Rita. Long ago I did some for her and Now she is back! I'm so happy the quilting bug bit her again. Looking forward to working with Rita again.</div>

Quilt guild meeting tonight. Here is MY March UFO challenge quilt. This fabric was purchased during the Paducah Quilt show approximately 7 years ago. I had friends from Canada, Australia, and Nebraska that year - my friend from Canada helped me cut the fabric for a stack and whack pinwheel. And THERE it sat...just cut into wedges until last month. I got fired up over this challenge and finished the top. Still motivated, I quilted it finishing it yesterday. Since we learned a new Faux piped binding method last month - I decided to give it a go. And here is the result:</div>

Thursday my neighbor came over to work on quilting her Christmas tree skirt. (not sure if she is late or early?) While she worked on Squiggy I worked on sewing borders and then worked (and finished) Tim's. <br />

After all that hard work it was good to see Marge have some fun</div>
<br />
Tim was a good friend of my son's, who passed away last fall. I took 9 of his tshirts and made this quilt for his finance, Kim. She is planning on coming over this weekend to pick it up. I think she will like it. (I've done 4 of these quilts for people who have lost loved ones - and I hope and Pray I never have to make another one!) <br />

Today another neighbor is coming over to sew. She wants to make a wine sleeve out of a sweater vest. Ok.... should be interesting. While she uses Laverne I'll load up the teapots on Squiggy. I feel like I'm doing "musical machines"</div>

Hope you all have a good weekend and may next week be as productive as this week!</div>

(I do believe I had a flash back to Meg Ryan restaurant scene) She was so happy...which made ME happy. I love it when I have a pleased customer - and a returning customer at that!<br />
<br />
<br />
I posted on my Facebook page (Custom Quilting by Shirley Jackson) "<span class="userContent">In every creative process there comes a time to STOP....take a moment....and CLEAN (ugh)". Yesterday I found the table! Today I crawl into the "belly of the beast" ... Well maybe not the beast...but under Squiggy. I need to clean up all the dust bunnies. In my cleaning "episode" from yesterday (cleaned shelves & table) I found some blocks I've been looking for. My mother-in-law embroidered these blocks but I have no idea when. We found them when we cleaned out her home after her passing. Now that my grandchildren (her great grands) are getting older, I remembered them...and thought about making 3 quilts. I wanted to find them - share them equally (if I could) to make 3 wall hangings for when they get married and have children. I FOUND THEM...safe and sound in a unmarked envelope. I had seen this envelope but thought it was empty...I was SO HAPPY I looked into it yesterday. I'm so pleased she made 12. I can use 4 in each for the center. I had thought about embroidering more blocks. But rethinking. I think it would be best to leave her blocks as the focus...and I will make quilt blocks to border her work. I want this to be a cherish memory for my mother-in-law Anne Jackson</span><br />

I'm excited about this project. She was a wonderful mother-in-law. I only wish I could do as good of a job as she did. And now I can honor her memory with making a gift from her handwork!</div>

And it is Beautiful!!!Well I did it! I met my own personal goal. I told Phyllis I'd have them back to her in 2 weeks. AND I'll call her to see if we can meet up tomorrow. I am disappointed. I do wish I had used a different color thread. It really blends into the fabric. And the 9 patches are so busy - I didn't do much on them...but I really like the looks of it!!!<br />

This week I started on the 2nd one. It's a lovely and simple 9 patch scrappy one. With a taupe rectangles that just sets the 9 patch blocks off! </div>

I did a simple Terry Twist in the 9 patches. Was taking me forEVER to do one block at a time. After 2 rows I figured out a way I can do 5 little blocks by alternating with the row below and above the center lonely 9 patch. </div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the border on the left. It's VERY wide and I had no clue what to do. My friend, Angela showed me this one. I thought I could do it and it worked out well. I'm afraid the taupe thread I used does not show up at all. It blends right in with the fabric. On the right is what I did in the rectangles. Phyllis requested some sort of branch and leaf - like in the border ... I think I captured that... </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope Phyllis likes them both. </div>

She is making it for her mom who is in a nursing home. I fell in love with it the minute I opened it up. To me it called for a special Panto. AND I had just the right one. I bought this panto last year during the Paducah Quilt show. After looking at the panto closer - I thought OMG that's a LOT of quilting! and put it on the shelf. But Kathy's quilt called to me to use it...and I'm so happy that I did. <br />
<br />
To me it looks like it belongs in an English Country Cottage...like from Thomas Kincade. I love the soft colors and the quilting just added that special touch!<br />
<br />
Thank you Cathy for allowing me to work on this wonderful quilt.<br />
