<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently had the opportunity to review Clare's e-novel </span><a href="http://iquiltscarletandgray.blogspot.com/2013/08/streak-of-lightning-e-novel.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Streak of Lightning.</span></a> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week I finished reading The Double Wedding Ring on my Nook, which will be available on September 24, 2013. Once again Nell finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation and Clare wraps her characters in a number of quilts. Traditional, modern and art quilts are discussed and described in detail. I love where see explains about WIP's, Work in Progress, and UFO's, Unfinished Objects to Jesse her boyfriend. It's a quick read and very enjoyable.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Description</span></h4>
<div class="book_text" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> It’s murder before marriage in book five of the <i>Someday Quilts</i> series<br /><br /> Nell’s future is on her mind, and it looks as though the pieces are coming together like a perfectly made quilt. Her relationship with police chief Jesse Dewalt is heating up, she’s thinking of starting her own business, and Grandma Eleanor, is about to get hitched. But just the future seems sewn up, Jesse’s former NYPD partner turns updead. Nell has to scramble to keep the wedding on track, her relationship from falling apart, and herself from being the target of a stranger with a secret. <i>The Double Wedding Ring</i> has romance, murder and a modern cozy feel everything fans of the Someday Quilts series have come to love.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No not real lightning! 'A Streak of Lightning is a design that can be made in a number of ways. Some people use rectangles that are offset, some use half-square triangles, and the one Nell Fitzgerald is making in an e-novel by Clare O'Donahue, is a variation on the classic log cabin. The main point, however it is done, is to create the sense of movement, of color that juts back and forth in a line, just how most lightning bolts are represented.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This excerpt from Clair's book gives you an idea of her attention to detail when comes to the quilts that she uses for the titles of her books. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">In Streak of Lightning a <strong><em>Someday Quilts</em> Mystery</strong>, fans get a chance to check up with what is happening in the lives of quilter turned amateur sleuth Nell Fitzgerald and the other residents of the small town of Archer's Rest, New York. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now, available <a href="http://www.us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/1,,9781101615850,00.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: black;">STREAK OF LIGHTNING</span> ($2.99 /August 2013)</b>,</a> <span style="color: black;">as <i>A Penguin Special</i> (e-book only) which went on-sale July 30th. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This past spring I purchased a <a href="http://www.pfaffusa.com/" target="_blank">Pfaff </a>Creative 2.0 sewing and embroidery machine so that I could quilt some of my own projects and expand my skills by learning to embroidery.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wasn't going to be driving 3 hours for a class. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I found out from my friend Gayle that I could purchase the entire block of the month locally.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So for the past few weeks I have been reading directions, purchasing embroidery thread, and fabric. Not that I actually need fabric!! I have a notebook that has the instructions in it so I can have that right next to my machine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I did some test blocks to determine what size I could do with my machine. Originally I thought I would be limited to 7", but now I figured out I can stitch 8" blocks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">When I purchased my Creative 2.0 I also purchase <a href="http://www.florianisoftware.com/products/*/*/10799" target="_blank">My Decorative Quilter by Floriani</a>. It's a digitizing package, but I have used it for changing thread colors and removing steps from some of my embroidery designs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have decided for my first project to make 24" Feathered Star Whole Cloth for my front door. </span></div>

This was my second Judy Niemeyer quilt and Becky did a great job with the quilting. As the quilt came together, my husband mentioned that it reminded him of a Peacock, so Becky incorporated the shape of peacock feathers in the quilting. Becky takes pictures to document her quilting and then shares them on her blog.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Judy at Patchwork Times is helping us to get projects done in 2013 </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">by sponsoring</span><a href="http://www.patchworktimes.com/?s=2013+ufo"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> "Get It Done".</span></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are to blog about 4 items we want to get done during the month.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">During the month of <a href="http://iquiltscarletandgray.blogspot.com/2012/12/get-it-done-in-january-2013.html" target="_blank">January</a>, I completed the following items:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I attached the handing sleeve and binding on my Feathered Peacock Star, so it could be entered in the <a href="http://lakemetroparks.com/programs/quilts2013.shtml" target="_blank">Lake Farm Park Quilts 2013</a>. Unfortunately no ribbon this year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I prepared the backs for 3 Alaskan theme quilts and had them quilted by Becky at <a href="http://rubybluequilts.blogspot.com/2013/01/machine-quilting-alaskan-adventure.html" target="_blank">Ruby Blue Quilts.</a> This link will take you to Becky's blog so you can see the beautiful quilting that she did.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I did finalize the design and start the WaterFalls paper piecing quilt I'm making for Cassie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">And I did finalize the design for Sara's baby quilt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I'm pretty happy with what I accomplished this month!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">This is the fourth <a href="http://quiltswithatwist.com/">Lisa Moore</a> pattern I have completed since traveling to Alaska in 2008.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My friend Doris traveled to Alaska this past June and asked if I could complete the 2 kits she picked up there. I need to finish the shasings and borders.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I would like to finalize the pattern I will be doing for Cassie's quilt. I will be doing a <a href="http://www.quiltworx.com/">Judy and Brad Niemeyer</a> pattern, but I have to decide one which one. Then I'm going to design it in <a href="http://electricquilt.com/">EQ7</a> so I can add the fabrics. I'm leaning toward Waterfalls.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have some left overs from another baby quilt I did last year, called <a href="http://www.southseaimports.com/Allfabrics.aspx?fcatid=182&name=Sea%20of%20Dreams%20-%20<i>Jan/Feb%2012</i>">Sea of Dreams</a> by South Sea Imports. So I thought I would use that fabric to make up a simple block and rectangle quilt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finished sewing the and removing the paper from my <a href="http://www.quiltworx.com/" target="_blank">Judy and Brad Niemeyer</a> Feathered Star quilt top last weekend. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have completed all
paper piecing and have started sewing together the sections of my <a href="http://www.quiltworx.com/patterns/feathered-star/" target="_blank">FeatheredStar by Judy and Brad Niemeyer</a> quilt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I was able to do some
of the border paper piecing at the Buckeye Sewing Retreat I attended last
weekend.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSi7Ygd6XO5hZuS_mFYrcVkL4DP4hvNvV8Nq5WX5LQwgCUVwW9oKcHDtMORuV6euW658paU5tO_foJqfpzFSPnYbCN2RuWg5EB_8J_dr2BkdHAzJU0kcSOYrph3YNvT7mF187E0MH0PXo/s1600/Borders+2+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSi7Ygd6XO5hZuS_mFYrcVkL4DP4hvNvV8Nq5WX5LQwgCUVwW9oKcHDtMORuV6euW658paU5tO_foJqfpzFSPnYbCN2RuWg5EB_8J_dr2BkdHAzJU0kcSOYrph3YNvT7mF187E0MH0PXo/s320/Borders+2+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Saturday morning I
worked in my sewing room, unpacking everything from the Retreat and setting up
my sewing machine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then Saturday night I
finished the paper piecing and started working on the corners and my first Y
seams of the project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you follow the
instructions the Y seams go together pretty easily.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did increase my stitch length in case I had
to reverse sew!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The instructions have
you sewing sections together, so that you build the quilt area by area, corners,
middles and sides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I even started
removing paper last night; it took me about 30 minutes to remove the paper from
one of the sections.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have decided to
remove the paper from the inner parts of the sections prior to completing the
quilt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I lay the section I’m
working on, on the table and use my ‘Purple Thang’ to help loosen the paper and
definitely have a trash can or bag handy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Of course my trash
can is a Buckeye one!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have had a couple areas where the glue
didn’t release, so I may have to use a little water with a Q-tip to finish
those areas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Judy and I woke up at 7:45 a.m. and were surprised we sleep

was great; I had a cheese omelett, orange juice and milk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then it was back to sewing!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I wanted to finish the paper piecing of my Feathered Star and get the pieces
trimmed and possibly get some of the pieces sewn together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately it took longer to paper piece
the border sections then I thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
still have a couple more to complete then it will be time to sew all the pieces
together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">At 11:00 a.m. we started show and tell. There were 25 of us with varying skills and experiences. There were many different projects worked on over the weekend. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Baby quilts, Mystery tablerunners, Memory quilts, Tote bags, Chenille pillows, Thimbleberries quilts, Twister quilts, Charity quilts made from fabric books, Raindeer wall hanging, Sampler quilts, 3200 strip quilt, Paper pieced quilts, binding of quilts and wall hangings, Friendship Star lap quilt, 10 minute table runners, 60 degree triangle table runners, Fast Crazy quilt demonstration and many more projects.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a great time and renewed some friendships and made new friends. I heard more than one person say that this was cheaper then therapy!! Laughter and quilting definately go together!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My table mate wasn’t up yet so I decided to bind my first
Judy Niemeyer quilt Desert Sky. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used
the same fabric for this binding as I did on my Bali Breeze.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The quilt I selected to share is my Spinning Sampler quilt. For those of you meeting me for the first time, I am an Ohio State Buckeyes alumni and fan. A number of my quilts are made from Scarlet and Gray fabric, thats where I got the name for my blog</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a quilt I started after I took a class from <a href="http://www.frommarti.com/index.shtml" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Marti Michell</span></a> using her Perfect Patchwork Templates at the 2010 Lake Farm Park’s Quilt Show. She displayed a number of samplers in class in 12” and 6” sizes. So I started one using my Scarlet and Gray stash that includes twelve 12" blocks on point, with a 24" Carpenter’s Wheel center medallion block.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used a layout I found in Electric Quilt’s EQ7 and then added a border that includes <strong>200</strong> Flying Geese. I’m not sure what really possessed me to make that many Flying Geese??</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had 8 quilts/wall hangings that needed bindings attached and sewn down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My sewing machine, acrylic table, display board, 2 quilt kits, Feathered Star paper piecing project, rulers, cutting board, a shoe box of tools including, rotary cutter, extra rotary cutter blades, thread, bobbins, pins, chalk pencil and many other tools of the quilting trade!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also took my Spinning Sampler for show and tell.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My table mate wasn’t there yet so I had both tables to myself for a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That allowed me to get my bigger quilts done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to work on the 2 quilts that are gifts first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had cut the fabric for the bindings last weekend, but I still needed to sew the strips together and press them, prior to attaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I attached the binding with my machine and then folded it to the back and used Clover Binder clips to keep it in place, as I sewed in the ditch from the front.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since these are not SHOW quilts I figured sewing the bindings on by machine would work ok.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
