Storm at Sea Top Finished!

Wild Rose Quilter

000_4808.jpgI finished my Storm at Sea top last night.  Not the best piecing job, but hey, it’s done.  I did discover that those points really do match up much better if you take the time to put a pin in them!  LOL!  Who knew?  This one will be challenging to me when it comes quilting time.  I am running way late this morning, and have to drive to our Borger office for work today.  Firearms inspection and requalifying is today. So no sewing on my lunch break today.  😦  Guess I better run!

I’m a simple woman…at least that what my DH (Dear Husband) used to say about me…I was a wife, I am now a widow, mother, step-mother & step-grandmother, quilter, and have a full time job in criminal justice. I lost my DH on May 22nd, 2011. I live in a small town in Texas. I love piecing quilts, I love quilting quilts. I have a serious addiction to fabric. I’ve been quilting since 1998, and purchased my first longarm, a Gammill Premier, in 2004. I upgraded to an A-1 Elite, named Corky, in March, 2007. I am in the process of rebuilding my life after losing my spouse.

  8. Pretty Randi. Is that a John Flynn kit? I did one too, if it is. I put a panto on it because it was so busy, and because it was for my Bizzy granddaughter. Looking forward to seeing how you quilt it.

  10. Thanks! It is a John Flynn kit, Gayle. Got it from Wilma & Jim. I would still be cutting out the pieces. It made it really fun to put together.

  13. I love the quilt, I have made a couple of them over the years. What I love about them is the “hearts” that appear. Congrats on requalifying. My is teaching our 9 year old how to shoot. He does real good shooting the black birds around here.

  14. Randi,

    I’ve enjoyed your blog…. love those caterpillars on the dill. Here in Southern California I’ve got butterfly weed planted for Monarchs. I’ve also thought about buying some dill for the Swallowtails. We had one hatch here next to my front window, and I hadn’t the faintest idea where that fat caterpillar had come from!
    Will you do me a favor and write me? I’d like to post to you privately. : )

  17. Did you get pre-cut pieces for this quilt from a company called “Flynn’s” who will pre-cut the fabrice for you? I just received a pre-cut package with all the pieces for the Storm-at-Sea and now I’m not sure how to start? How did you organize your pieces? And colors? This is my third quilt and I feel a bit overwhelmed with this project of putting together the colors so they work. But I’m not ready to pack it in yet. Can you help me out with some advise? 🙂 Thanks in advance. virginia
