This will be my 3rd quilt I have made. The pink Siamese cat print was my focal fabric to work around. So became the Tic Tac Groovy Cat quilt. I designed the pinwheels and cat face appliques with borders to make up the Tic Tac grid. I still wanted the little cats from the print to have a place. I fussy cut and fussy cut til I had the squares and more borders to my likening. </p><p> I watched a you-tube on scalloped borders so I decided to try that as well. I am learning embroidery with my big Bernina so I printed the quilt name, date and my name on the large cat applique on the back. </p><p> For machine quilting I had stitched in the ditch and did some free motion quilting on the outside border. Having just had carpel tunnel surgery on both hands just before the contest ended I had to leave well enough alone. </p><p> The last day to mail the entry was on 12/18/2010. I ran out of photo paper and had to go to the local print shop. I lost my car keys while I shopped waiting for the pictures. Found my keys back at the photo shop. As I quickly stuffed the photos in to the entry package... I see the full view shot had the top and bottom edges cut off. Oh well.... off to the Post Office.

A Bernina 830 sewing, quilting and embroidery machine. I am taking classes to learn this big baby. Talk about the tip of the iceberg... My wonderful sister gave me her Koala Sewing cabinet that is strong enough to hold this 38 pound sewing machine. </div><div>I learned to sew from my professional dressmaker... Momma. I have plans to make my lined large picture window living room drapes and also for the dining room slider.

We worked on hands and shoes all day long. Got 'em done. Everyone is happy sharing ideas and their art stories. Jack makes you so welcome to be in his class. He spends lots of time teaching, hands on helping and then you have plenty of time to individualize your work.<br />Tomorrow we will be doing bodies for these 18 inch dolls. We won't be costuming them but will be able to customize that at home.<br />Here are is all but 2 of the students heads, hands and feet. Jack can sculpt a doll in a short time...

Class starts tomorrow... FRIDAY. We brought tons of stuff to work on today, before class and after class. We had an extra table brought in to our room. I have my reindeer to work on and some penny quilting. My sister brought one of sculpted "old sister dolls" to work on their clothing.<br /> The weather here is beautifully sunny but BRRRRRRRRRRr cold. In the 20's. Although our home in Oregon City, Oregon just 10 degrees warmer and expecting snow this weekend.<br /> We took a walk and went over to Kmart and my sister searched and searched for a nice gray knit top.... to cut up and use for her dolls bloomers....HA~! Crafter's all the way.<br /> I found Heartland Paper.. a great scrap booking store but I only came out with some snowflake designs.<br /> Below you can see some of our class...YIPEEE<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Here is just a small grouping or finished heads from our class. Forgotten camera sticks...low batteries and just having too much fun to take pictures at our first class.<br /><br /><div style="width: 600px; text-align: center;"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w84.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w84.photobucket.com/albums/k15/susiedesigns/Jack%20Johnston/a896e2dd.pbw" width="600" height="180"></embed><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="border-width: 0pt; float: left;" /></a><a href="http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k15/susiedesigns/Jack%20Johnston/?action=view&current=a896e2dd.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="border-width: 0pt; float: left;" /></a></div>SusieDesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14748268771380280635noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049360414069177228.post-88756975654133085562009-12-03T19:12:00.000-08:002009-12-03T19:28:58.970-08:00Artdolls.com Jack Johnstons Doll Sculpting ClassYaaa-hooo. My sister and I arrived here in cold, cold Salt Lake City, Utah to take Jack Johnston's 3 day Prosculpt doll class. We spent the morning traveling to get here and the afternoon setting up our craft room at the Inn we are staying at. We needed an extra table because we brought lots to do before and after class.

Tons of bottom fish, one big Ling Cod and a HUGE 155 lb Halibut caught by John. That big fish ran him around the boat, had to be harpooned and then 2 men lifted it onto the boat. When we went drop of the fish at the fish processing plant...they tied a rope around the fishes tail. He was then lifted up on a crane chain and we got some pictures.<br />I don't have those pictures yet. John had taken a picture on our digital camera and then took 28 minutes of video of the inside of his pocket. So we have a few pictures to have developed.<br />The charter group was myself, John, Bob and his son Nick. We also were joined by a father and son (Music professor/flutist and pediatrician) who had never caught big salmon.<br />I wasn't able to out do my husband with his big fish...but all my fish were sooooo much bigger, brighter and fatter than my brother Bobs...HA HA HA<br />As our trip comes to an end ... we need to wash and de-fish-stink the car, go up Pilar Hill in Kodiak and take wind turbine pictures up close and of coarse fish some more.<br />We miss you all and hope the weather has been much cooler for you all. We have had SUNNY days and our noses and cheeks are pink/red from the long days sun.<br />We miss you all and are glad we are still here~!~! We'll be back up in 2 years again but will either catch the sock-eye run earlier or the silver run in September.<br />WHERE'S MY BABY~!!

Extra sweatpants, shirts, sweatshirts, and socks. I am inside somewhere. I think this is when I should say I have to find the powder room???<br />Managing a camera, pole, lures and large flippers kept my mind from worrying about a Stephen King lake monster!!<br />John and I fished for about 6 hours in the Buskin lake. Lots of fish called Dollies that are like a trout but silvery green with pink polka dots. We must have catch 50 each with a catch and release style and brought home 6 large ones. Yummy.<br />Here you can see a picture of John in his tube and a picture of my flippers. It was too risky to hand the camera to John for my "in the tube" photo. I wasn't trustworthy. I lost a pair of fishing pliers thinking I was putting them in a cute little pocket on the side. OOOOPS~! It was the open ended pocket for the fishing pole.<br />I wish we could have had a video of us walking with HUGE flippers into the lake, ever so gracefully fitting those flippers into the float tubes and then sailing off to the lurking dangers below.<br /><br /><div style="width: 480px; text-align: center;"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w84.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w84.photobucket.com/albums/k15/susiedesigns/kodiak/d9b819c1.pbw" width="480" height="360"></embed><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="border-width: 0pt; float: left;" /></a><a href="http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k15/susiedesigns/kodiak/?action=view&current=d9b819c1.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="border-width: 0pt; float: left;" /></a></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-kD6CFS_TGJ9msTrsqFwDQhQmngIaDDJk-lkmeRDWh_5O5HQoeF5hZCbP0m-T1pS2L1Eh9insjSvGftDZ2UOcTRXYml1S8XiW0QG13NTbXSM9q1MIvYPbaJazrqpJ4DFsOmNBI_nTfimu/s1600-h/14.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-kD6CFS_TGJ9msTrsqFwDQhQmngIaDDJk-lkmeRDWh_5O5HQoeF5hZCbP0m-T1pS2L1Eh9insjSvGftDZ2UOcTRXYml1S8XiW0QG13NTbXSM9q1MIvYPbaJazrqpJ4DFsOmNBI_nTfimu/s320/14.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365412048765925090" border="0" /></a>Which charter boat to go out on???

I personally am always looking and listening for bears. Lots of sightings around since they think fisherman are fishing for them. I would not hesitate in a second to offer up my fish vs myself. Although my dear husband and son say they are not worried about bears. WHY~! they say they can run faster than me. ...<br />Along the main road near Bells Flats in Kodiak some of our group sat and filmed one of 3 bears that visits this river that flows out to sea. The bears are looking for the tasty salmon that flow up stream back to their spawning grounds. The 3 or so year old bear here is in need of some more salmon dinners to fatten up for the long winter. No one cared to bother him at "his" dinner time.<br /><br /><br /><div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w84.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w84.photobucket.com/albums/k15/susiedesigns/kodiak/Bears in Kodiak/869cfaf8.pbw" height="360" width="480"></embed><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" /></a><a href="http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k15/susiedesigns/kodiak/Bears%20in%20Kodiak/?action=view&current=869cfaf8.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" /></a></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>SusieDesignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14748268771380280635noreply@blogger.com0
