qubee quilts

Hello my friends, How is every one?  Below are some projects that I have been working on. This quilt has been on my design wall for over a year now.  Feels good to get it finished.  Now, for Thomas to work his magic on it.   This is a sample I made to display at work using  Floral Elements collection # 260 from Husqvarna Viking.  This collection is versatile and the design elements can be combined in a variety of unique combinations.   The start of a sampler wall hanging to be placed at the top of the newly carpeted stairs. Until next time,

Happy Earth Day!  Today I had breakfast with my friend Pat at the Corner Cafe.  I just love waking meeting up with friends.   This was me today. The front and back yard. Found this Starling in my back yard today.  She did pick a strange place, but who I am to judge. Late lunch / early dinner with Thomas.  Yummy fabrics from Pink Castle Fabrics  They are Bonnie and Camille Basics Stash Box! I can see a quilt or two coming from these.  What did you do on Earth day? Until next time,

Wow, the last blog post was on January 11, 2014.  In the coming weeks, I will share with you why I have been away. Have you seen that I have been posting to Pinterest ?  Lots of neat stuff.  A few of my board are: Chip off the Old Block (Quilt Blocks) Pillow Talk (Quilted Pillow Tops) Off the Wall (Table Runners) Quilts, Quilts, Quilts. And many more. I have posted a nice  article from Wall Street Journal about Sewing on Qubee Quilts Facebook page. Check it out. Just to show that men really do sew, I leave you with the following images. Until next time,

We here at Qubee Quilts have been away for too long.  Charlie and I (Thomas), are planning on a return to the blogosphere.  Charlie will continue to show off his designs and whatever is rattling around that pretty little head of his.  I will be sharing some of my work with my longarm machine, as well as trying to learn new ways to quilt. I think that sharing our work and new ideas online will help us both be a little more creative than we have been lately, and maybe inspire others to be more creative too! More soon, Thomas

I saw a book list that was entitled 25 book you might wish to steal from your teen and I thought I would check a few of them out because I have a fascination with young adult fiction.    Dead End in Norvelt By  Jack Gantos Jack thinks his summer is over until his mother volunteers him to help a neighbor. He discovers a mystery behind his unusual assignment. Okay for Now By  Gary D. Schmidt   Doug Swieteck must overcome a deadbeat father, an older brother who steals from him, a brother returning from the Vietnam War and being the new kid in boring Marysville, New York.
