I made something. Really.
January 28th, 2010
I’ve been having so much fun lately - talking my Rock-star friend Tammy into having the best ever lunch with me (and she said YES!), or hanging out on my twitter (how else would I know what Super-woman Camille plans on wearing at Market), or my daily yimmer yammers with Super-star PamKittyMorning…. that I actually MADE SOMETHING.
Yup.
I did.
I made something.
A little Valentine-ish “Choc-O-Cherry” table runner for the Moda Bake Shop.
One pack of Turnovers is all you need to make the runner. And in the blink of an eye, a bee flew up my butt - and I started thinking about what could be done with more turnovers. So I whipped out my trusty and magical Adobe sewing machine - and I went right to work.
Two packages of Turnovers = 4 x 5 block grid, 32″ x 40″ finished quilt.
Three packages of Turnovers = 5 x 6 block grid, 40″ x 48″ finished quilt.
Seven packages of Turnovers = 7 x 10 block grid, 56″ x 80″ finished quilt.
Ahh… if only it was as fast to make projects on a real sewing machine as it is in Photoshop. Just thinking about ALT + Click + Drag on some fabric… and POOF, I just doubled my inventory. Tripled. Quadrupled! I’d have a Costco sized stash before I knew it.

Unsupervised quilting, crafting, mischief and absurdity from my teenie weenie tiny little studio in the woods on the North Oregon coast.
You are some kinda extra magical something. Does this software work on laundry?
January 28th, 2010I agree…I could use your magic maker for lots of things!!! Love the projects.
January 28th, 2010Or getting this floor refinished and the walls painted! This is seriously cute, guess I need more than one turnover now.
January 28th, 2010Hi Magic-Woman!!
January 28th, 2010That looks great and I´m deeply impressed!!
THUMBS UP!!!! :o)
Ganz liebe Grüsse und ein schönes Wochenende!

Would the software work backwards on my backside???
January 28th, 2010Now get working on the dance.
January 28th, 2010Oh that would be nice. Hell having the space for it would be nice.
January 28th, 2010Love it, love it, love it! Too bad Jodi and I are on Project Probation. I think it’s about the third or fourth time for me. Not likely to get all my ufo’s finished but I will get some done. Now Hummer (the longarm) is fixed I can get busy. Keep posting. Your posts always make my day!
January 28th, 2010I didn’t know if I wanted to actually start with bias edges, but you may have convinced me with this project! Beautiful!
January 28th, 2010Wow, Monica, such wonderful projects. I never knew what to make with turnovers. These projects are great!
January 28th, 2010Monica, you amaze me! Very beautiful!
January 28th, 2010Hey! That does sound like a cheap and easy way to increase my stash!
January 28th, 20101. You are magical.
January 28th, 20102. Those shoes would look stellar with your halloween costume. At Market. Just sayin’.
3. I want in on this dance that PKM is talking about.
No, YOU’RE a rockstar.
January 29th, 2010Can you make that happen to anybody’s stash? Please!
January 29th, 2010Ooh sooooooo pretty! I’m lovin’ it.
January 29th, 2010Oooh that’s nice. I have a sad little turnover languishing in a bin somewhere. I liked the concept but never knew what to do with the darn thing. Maybe I’ll have to get him some friends now.
January 29th, 2010Love it!
January 29th, 2010I’m hoping to make something today.
If I can whoosh through the messy house quickly and hide the dust bunnies under the rug. :o)
Oooooooh so pretty!!! I need to make one of these, this gorgeous quilt has my name written all over it…. it clearly says…Biznatch. xoxo
January 29th, 2010You are MAGIC to my soul. I smile everytime you do anything . . . Please don’t stop, you inspire me . . . Nancy in AZ
January 29th, 2010Could I bippity boppity borrow your magic-ness? Can you be my Fairy Godmother? I’ll let you ride around on Kitty’s magic carpet ….she’s in jail right now anyhow, so she’ll never know! (come for a blog visit - we’re having a give away!)
January 29th, 2010Yummers! Love it! Thanks for lunch, it was way too much fun!!! (And it seems like forever ago, so we should meet again soon.) xo
January 29th, 2010And you made something Very, Very CUTE! Now….Step Away from the Twitter!
January 29th, 2010Love this…think I even have some turnovers to make the runner with!
January 29th, 2010I am so glad a bee went up your butt! Love the extension of the original runner…LOVE those colours too, thanks for sharing, Amanda
January 30th, 2010And Tom would finally have to build you that super cool studio with the fireplace for your stash to live in,(and your friends to hang out in too, of course).
January 30th, 2010cute! and you give us size options!!
January 30th, 2010Love your magical way! And your chocolate cherries looks…delicious!
January 30th, 2010Mmmm, looks good enough to eat. I wonder if your chococherry turnover treat would be yummy with my hot chocolate with mini marshmallows…..:)
January 30th, 2010And I have two Snippets turnovers that will now become…a turnover treat of another kind! This is an awesome pattern Monica! Thanks.
January 30th, 2010Yummy! I could just GOBBLE that one right up!
January 30th, 2010Awesome! I wanna make one, too! Big MAHALO for sharing. xx
January 30th, 2010Dear Monica, I have a favorite blog I like to visit that no one else seems to have discovered. She is a wonderful quilter in your color pallet, and every time I visit her I think, Happy Zombie would love this blog! Her name is Joy of Joy’s Thoughts and Things. (I have her name on my sidebar)It seems the New Year finds you as busy as ever. Inspiration Station of the United Nation! Have a great week ahead! Elizabeth
January 31st, 2010It is lovely. Really lovely. It makes me hungry for chocolate, too! ha I’m still looking at your Belgian Waffle quilt and trying to figure out when I can make it. That is one quilt I have on my list for this year!
February 1st, 2010WOW, I love the design and that fabric is delicious. Great color combination.
February 2nd, 2010I love this runner! I actually caught it over at Moda a couple of days ago. It is on my list as the next runner that I make. It will be soon, I hope.
February 3rd, 2010only you can make something that makes me want to dive into and eat up like that! first your waffle inspired quilt and now chocolate.
February 4th, 2010at least i can’t gain weight on these.
so uh a birdy told me you were going to market…
this little birdy might be going too.
:)
