<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I'm finally hitting the point in my sewing/quilting where I feel I may reach my long time goal of "sewing for a living" sometime before I retire.....:) After having made a t-shirt quilt for a local customer and receiving much attention and praise I have been receiving custom orders for more quilts from customers all over the country. Personally I never thought I would enjoy custom orders. They can be quite unnerving, never knowing how to price for your time/materials, unsure if the customer will happy with the end results and a load of insecurities that hit when cutting up special, memory loaded t-shirts and clothing. I am hitting my stride. Finding a routine. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Enjoying my simple dream of sewing for a living.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This particular quilt started with 11 very rough cut t-shirts and a pillow cover. mmmmmmhhhh how am I going to use 12 pre-cut squares and turn them into a nap quilt that will please the customer? It turned out better than I had imagined. The customer is "WOWed". This weekend I will be making a 2nd quilt for her using t-shirts from her childhood. Look for that posting next week. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've been swamped with custom t-shirt quilts after posting the "Tyler" quilt and having local customers see it in person as well. I've not been able to keep up with blog posts, IG, FB or Pinterest. Hopefully I can catch up........soon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here is the latest quilt I was able to squeeze in between orders. It is made primarily with t-shirt scraps from all those custom quilts. I still have a growing pile of t-shirt sleeves, if anyone would like them please contact me. I am giving the bottom half of the shirts to my sister who has taken up crocheting and I've shown her how to make her own t-shirt yarn. I currently have a large box full for her to make yarn.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I like how this turned out. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I haven't posted to my blog in a while. I've been busy with life, work and trying to catch up with sewing projects. During the summer I don't sew that many quilts or do much sewing of any kind. Yard work seems to keep me busy. I did make more bow ties and pumpkins that were listed in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/simpledream2">shop.</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Now that cooler weather is here I can spend more time sewing some of the custom quilt orders I have waiting and begging for my attention.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/12112155_10208016226793626_9081995613958981863_n.jpg?oh=44296010ad491977aa682e7fb24a23c2&oe=56B15BA8" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Here's the last quilt I made, it was for a dear friend. It is a memory quilt made with Madison's clothing. Madison was not even two years old when she lost her battle with a brain tumor. I made two memory quilts, one for Mady's mother Rachel and one for her grandmother, Teresa ... my dear friend. This quilt turned out so nice, just the right size for a nap, 71" x 55". A nose to toes quilt. Just right for those naps on cold winter days. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">A funny story about this quilt. I had it hanging on my shelves in my sewing room waiting to stitch on the binding. I asked my son to step in and take a look at Teresa's quilt. He walked into the sewing room, sat down on my chair, looked at the quilt and said, "It's pink", in a serious tone. I had to remind him it is "Mady's quilt" made with Mady's clothing for Teresa. The whole idea behind a memory quilt is to evoke memories, and well pink will remind Teresa of the sweetness of her little Madison. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I have 3 more memory quilt orders; one from a group of elementary school teachers wanting a memory quilt made with t-shirts from years of school events as a gift for a retiring teacher. Two more memory quilts for a customer who has all of his high school coaching shirts that he wants made up into lap/nap size quilts. I think I will be busy this winter keeping the wood stove stoked and sewing/quilting. My plan is to gather photos of current and past memory quilts to post listing in my Etsy shop and my website for custom memory quilts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I had to share Mady's quilt........."It's pink". </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've been making several custom quilts and decided to take a break from all the quilts and quilting to tackle a custom order for "orange" bow ties for a little guy. Once those were done I decided to make more to add to the shop since they looked so good, and orange is one of my favorite colors. These also put me in the Fall mood even though it is still in the high 80's and 90's here in the Ozarks.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This week has just flown by since the Bakers Creek Festival, in Mansfield, Missouri last weekend. I've been meaning to post these photos of my booth. We were right at the stage and enjoyed music all day long. The weather was cold, overcast and windy. The rain started around 3:00 so we closed up before the quilts got wet, by then the crowds thinned down and other vendors left as well. We will try again next month for the 2-day festival, May 3rd and 4th. Be sure to stop by for this large annual event. Fun for the whole family.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've been hording indigo, batik and coordinating fabrics for YEARS. With a recent purchase of a coordinating indigo/browns/cream print I decided to finally cut into my stash. It took several days to decide on what pattern to use. I decided to go with my favorite pattern to start with. There is enough fabric left that you will see these prints in several quilts. I will have to keep one for myself. Next quilt is a HST pattern that I am eager to start using these fabrics.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">While sewing any quilt my mind works on a name and indigo + oatmeal was perfect for this quilt. Lot's of indigo, oatmeal colored onasburg muslin for the sashing, the brown is chocolate chips....of course.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Winter is still roaring here in the Ozarks. We have had snow, ice, winter on the ground since February 16th and we are in the thows of a winter storm today. It's lovely to have a part-time job that I can pick my days to work and days to hunker down, stay home and sew. I have been sewing this top the past several evenings or #whiletheworldsleeps is a better description of my sewing time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Had plans to step outside to hang this quilt top on the laundry line (photo studio) today to get the full impact of its beauty. Not going out now on the icy deck just to take photos. Here is the quilt top folded 1/4 the size on the floor by the back deck door. The ONLY place in the house with any measurable light. Not even noon and I have to turn on lights in the house to keep the gloominess at bay. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The sleet is accumulating with a forecast of several inches of snow on top of that. So glad to have firewood brought in, groceries bought and projects to keep the mind and hands busy. Let's hope the ice/snow doesn't cause a power outage. Would like to get the back sewn today along with loading it on the longarm quilter. </span></div>
