Been a long spring.No snow days this year, for sure. So I started spring break by going to Bergamo with friends for a weekend retreat to quilt. Got some stuff done. Then headed up to Irene's in Amish country. The week has been GREAT!!!! Lots of fun and food. Enen getting some quilting done. Went to visit with Ann and Pat, Margaret and maybe Kris if she can get up. Will be headed home Saturday morning so get school stuff graded and lessons done for next week. Plants are coming this week too.Lesa Marie Bamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387767694321451331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043298951116198745.post-76816343511637850292012-02-23T21:39:00.000-05:002012-02-23T21:39:42.273-05:00So here'swhat I've been up to latelySo it has been a while since I posted last.

School starts in a week...nad next week has to be the busiest of all summer. Special lecture class for school Monday, Debby Reed Maddy classes Tuesday and Wednesday, Professional development on Thursday....friend coming into town ( looking forward to that), and somewhere in there I'm supposed to finish basic paperwork for school, finish putting my classroom together, get binding on a birthday quilt, and do lesson plans......ie.. just another week in my fast paced life... I really need to look into the whole cloning thing...I could use a few of me hanging around. I think the Egyptians had that going for them with the shabati statues that come to life and work for you when you need something done. ;0)<br />
<br />
In any event, I have managed to finish the Quattro bag as promised with three days to spare before Amanda's birthday. I hope she likes it. The porta pockets should fit in the Quattro bag.<br />

Guess it was a really busy year. Irene really needs to keep me on my blogging toes. So at the reteat I was on last weekend at the Sacred Heart Retreat Center in Torch, Ohio (highly recomend), Irene and I were busy working on The Quattro bag and Porta Pockets by Studio Kats Design. I must admit to some cussing and fussing ( most of them my issue is miss reading or not going back and re reading.....( could suggest some clarifying details) but all said and done the pockets came out really cute and the purse was very nice too. I've attached thepocket photos and will up load the purse pics (as soon as it is done)... It's for a freind whose birthday is comming up so needs to get done quickly. Here is to a much more productive year!!<br />

Nine cities and 21 days in China. Quite the experience. 7000 years of history and inovation....hard to imagine. I'm going to take you through the trip a little at a time...wouldn't want to freak out those who know me ;0). We spent the first day traveling to China from Chicago. It took about 15 hours. I got some cool shots going across the Bearing Strait. There was a 12 hour time diference from Ohio to Hong Kong. Must say I was quite impressed with the international flight. Movies were in play the whole trip and food and drink was pleantiful...The first few days were spent in Hong Kong independent district. I had already gotten money through AAA so I got to play banker for the first day. The days were foggy and humid. The clouds often floating at the tops of the tall skyscrappers. This first picture, the glass one is on the back of some of the money in Hong Kong..It is by architect I.M. Pei.

May need to finish some more...we'll see. The theme of the challenge was "puzzle" I figured the convergence quilt was a good puzzle. Things blending and mingling. Reminicent of family and people converging and blending in puzzle like formation. The cranes flying overhead seperate yet in still in the picture. The flowers add a soft touch to the picture..kinda like how nature softens the edges of our structured lives by reminding us of the beauty that's out there.

I just won the 3 Creative Studios Block of the month prize package. It's the bomb!! It includes a package of Misty Fuse, Art + QUilt by Lyric Kinard, package of hand dyed by Vicki Walsh, art print and hand knit clutch by Terri Stegmiller, fray check and a spool of wonderfil thread.....I'm just tickled....it's better than getting a bunch of birthday squishies in the mail. Now I'm so jazzed I'll have to get the next block done at retreat this weekend...woooohooo. Everyone should come join the fun. See appropriate links on this page. On another note we have off school today because of another 7 inches of snow. I warned people that February would kick our collective butt and it is surly doing a good job of it. Will post snow dying photos after I do lesson plans for school....(thank God for the extra snow day so I can formally put those plans to paper );0)Lesa Marie Bamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387767694321451331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043298951116198745.post-55184563345230075792010-02-14T13:09:00.005-05:002010-02-14T13:15:24.666-05:00Maria Elkins Class<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgptNFVYFYqtXs85niISMfJZDvL_2XOIAwm7oaKW0eApiKZmrkdlU6gmvaxcPqeIqRUsBuSvOFguKoLnSQRi1AqnMIoES8_Rjiu9zs-1i4TmaUsk8zNMCd9WrxwyOoQ4PI-im6AGEoXG1Up/s1600-h/josef+xmas+2009+015+(2).jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438163809666684114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgptNFVYFYqtXs85niISMfJZDvL_2XOIAwm7oaKW0eApiKZmrkdlU6gmvaxcPqeIqRUsBuSvOFguKoLnSQRi1AqnMIoES8_Rjiu9zs-1i4TmaUsk8zNMCd9WrxwyOoQ4PI-im6AGEoXG1Up/s200/josef+xmas+2009+015+(2).jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_btSP6vb-K36Gjw05i2Ek8yP1bkQ_C1O05a6HytnHT1UhidHiMVfOK7mtMgdHEhTdXlvPU3tY17MNA5aN3ANPXR9AWZnHGJQX5Vd78s3VCsdi-EYJzwiDTjh1cjsQnReOW9y_WNIDHNMN/s1600-h/dsc03438.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438163800897664034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_btSP6vb-K36Gjw05i2Ek8yP1bkQ_C1O05a6HytnHT1UhidHiMVfOK7mtMgdHEhTdXlvPU3tY17MNA5aN3ANPXR9AWZnHGJQX5Vd78s3VCsdi-EYJzwiDTjh1cjsQnReOW9y_WNIDHNMN/s200/dsc03438.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Yesterday had class with Maria Elkins,</div><br /><br /><div>really cool.</div><br /><br /><div>Learned this cool new technique and I think with some more time and tweekage this could really be cool.

Now not to be sued for false information, the game didn't break my foot. I did that all on my own..... Did you ever come off a step and come down wrong?? Yeah me too...last time I just tore a ligament..this time broke the right metatarsal on the right foot sprained the left while hopping around trying not to drop the stuff I was carrying...then of course came tumbling down into the middle of the street...oh yippy me..... so after spending several hours in the hospital they sent me home with a half casty-splinty thing and told me to stay off it till I see the specialist next week.....Oh joy..... Once I get my car back (couldn't frive home) I'll post pictures from the inner light project I was working on and We'll see where I go from there.

It is really something I need to work on. I have a lot going on this year and the only way it will get done is if I get to focus. So the goal here is to create a 15X15 wall hanging with this word as its "focus"...humm So my brain was thinking about it and I started to sketch a bit and thought I would post this as the process goes along. So is this how everyone's brain works or is it just me? Have a good week.

Now you'd think that a wall hanging that is only 28 X 38 wouldn't take so long to do, right??? Nope. Well ya have the whole need to trace 90 pieces and add fusible etc... then fuse to fabric etc about 8 hours.. Was going to sew it on the domestic, but appearently my timing is off ( no pun intended)... So I had to put sides on it and put it on the mid arm. Once on the middy I spent about 10 hours quilting it...then I had to finish the minor touches and binding etc....really didn't think it would take so long. In any event it really turned out great and dad just loved it. Every one should have a wonderful New Year...laugh and love</div><div>Lesaa</div></div></div>Lesa Marie Bamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387767694321451331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043298951116198745.post-10521369782520792742009-12-27T00:41:00.005-05:002009-12-27T01:24:48.775-05:00What will the New Year Bring?Well, what will the new year bring? I'm actually looking forward to this next year. There's lots of new opportunities on the horizon. I officially start my new guild position as Vice President and Programs Director in January. The current VP has the callendar set for 2010. Now I have the pleasure of finding great talent to visit and share with the guild for 2011 and 2012. Big shoes to fill but looking forward to the challenge. I've gotten all sorts of ideas from people on Quiltarts Digest and I'm looking forward into researching them and getting my own calandar together.<br />Speaking of challenges. I have joined Sue's group at 3 Creative Studios in starting the Quilt Challenge for 2010. It's just the push I need to keep me posting to this blog in a timely fashion so Irene and others will be kept updated ;0). That and I'll actually put myself on my schedule and set time aside for me to take care of me. Sometimes just too much is going on and I need to make time for me. I am learning to get over the guilty feelings of doing stuff for me instead of the dishes or vaccuming...after all if I'm cooking why shouldn't DH do a little cleaning??<br />And then there is the chance that I might get to go to China next summer. I'm almost afraid of jinxing it. I was accepted into the NCTA progam at Miami University last spring. It is a seminar on getting Asian studies into the classroom. So I've been extemely tied up in getting that going and integrating it into the classroom. Well participants are eligible to apply to go on a teachers education trip to China for three weeks next summer. I'm going to apply. I think I have a decent shot at it so will keep my fingers crossed and get my paperwork done here in the next week. I think it will be a great opportunity to learn more about China and give me even more ways of teaching my students.<br />I don't usually make New Years resoutions, would hate the guilt associated with not doing them. So I'm going to take a page from my own playbook with my kids and create a goal sheet for myself.<br />My Goals for 2010<br />1. I will be true to myself and my family.<br />2. I will put myself at the top of my list of things to do.<br />3. I will visit my friends more.<br />4. I'll laugh more.<br />5. I'm going to get those juices flowing and get creative.<br />6. I'm going to stop sweating the small stuff...after all its all small stuff.<br />7. I'm going to get organized and remove the clutter (I know, I know....who am I and what did<br />I do with Lesa)<br />8. I'm going to do (finish) the Chistmas projects before Easter so I won't need to stress November and December.<br />9. I'm going to challenge myself to read 30 minutes a day, exercise 30 minutes a day and quilt<br />30 minutes a day. And sleep at least 6 hours a day. (In no particular order ;0))<br />10. I'm going to be the best I can be without guilt or remorse......... I can only do what I can do.<br /><br />To everyone I wish you the best, most wonderful New Year ever.

Peace.</div></div>Lesa Marie Bamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387767694321451331noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043298951116198745.post-16200166055325051932009-10-01T22:08:00.003-04:002009-10-01T22:23:23.221-04:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizvapJwmPkZ41MXAFf9JBnR_sw__-BOzSs9l2UBElrEnJLxFE1n3D6ONSBUaz4C6HhbRw7xjhKi7WdO_f3y5S2CkiFbof6PbOk5QFAy2LpevoWD_ugUmjE1gaUygxkgImgSbuGqvZWoTNs/s1600-h/southwest+sunrise+2009+005.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387821186291348482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizvapJwmPkZ41MXAFf9JBnR_sw__-BOzSs9l2UBElrEnJLxFE1n3D6ONSBUaz4C6HhbRw7xjhKi7WdO_f3y5S2CkiFbof6PbOk5QFAy2LpevoWD_ugUmjE1gaUygxkgImgSbuGqvZWoTNs/s200/southwest+sunrise+2009+005.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnUo2oIQhGxLh9Akw8QK8fRjQ-B8SRQwE__F0OEJoGWxrTCXpTrza5sAiOSFoBAYXCuBdgghnsmCJTpkQv25PtHO2z01r1eQUzeuWBS6c0BdIt6WKUclp4ddsPUlVKAWHhNYI_g11u5_dc/s1600-h/southwest+sunrise+2009+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387821179049098258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnUo2oIQhGxLh9Akw8QK8fRjQ-B8SRQwE__F0OEJoGWxrTCXpTrza5sAiOSFoBAYXCuBdgghnsmCJTpkQv25PtHO2z01r1eQUzeuWBS6c0BdIt6WKUclp4ddsPUlVKAWHhNYI_g11u5_dc/s200/southwest+sunrise+2009+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Hey, look at me..two posts in two weeks.....what's up with that?? Here are pics of the Maimi Valley Quilters' Guild challenge. They gave us a picture taken in nature and we had to take colors from it for the quilt. Hope you like it. </div></div><br />I added yarn on the green points, free motioned in gold thread overtop of it. It is a pinapple star block, then I designed the corners and mid line so that I didn't have any Y seems to deal with..that was kinda nice. Added rhinestones on the dividing line of the purples and on yellow diamonds and in the center on the design. So there is a little bling too. So tell me what'ca think.Lesa Marie Bamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387767694321451331noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043298951116198745.post-73172462855185750192009-09-20T12:17:00.005-04:002009-09-20T12:36:35.515-04:00Montgomery Co Fair.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmQp-GGiO39MRVmn8A3lEDbVZvDhUzJlfQUYK1uPPfzcFCRAEVMtgOGgzxCeZmgvU_MaB8cFeixovIjk1Zb-IPp-zbOyqHO0mt4-vgLoihtpwAhp4Qw5z_M6orQbQ1ysZGpeBewxSMKDq7/s1600-h/christmas+2006+060.jpg"><span></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383587389543963202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmQp-GGiO39MRVmn8A3lEDbVZvDhUzJlfQUYK1uPPfzcFCRAEVMtgOGgzxCeZmgvU_MaB8cFeixovIjk1Zb-IPp-zbOyqHO0mt4-vgLoihtpwAhp4Qw5z_M6orQbQ1ysZGpeBewxSMKDq7/s200/christmas+2006+060.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh55FsKGFKkN_W6Jao0lH-ix1JSTXpR6wUahqCiXLYkmp-ho-wjoLcLs83sRM-oxoQemxjEG554p489VJ4ehOK45mt62h9gSKdc4mykn6c5wtbZzZ1I9KtIGs_iH0f8xtKU1OpRMB7eXPM5/s1600-h/pro+bag+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383587387944475538" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh55FsKGFKkN_W6Jao0lH-ix1JSTXpR6wUahqCiXLYkmp-ho-wjoLcLs83sRM-oxoQemxjEG554p489VJ4ehOK45mt62h9gSKdc4mykn6c5wtbZzZ1I9KtIGs_iH0f8xtKU1OpRMB7eXPM5/s200/pro+bag+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjssQ3IaZ8SWlEjt0ae3HHqKxis4kWVFzvTi8iYJw7V44IYYR9o_qxhK725aXiB_CLGzooePrPBUaKqajzbKgvB5ASH99ojnWa35saiiUuo9s4otMj8bHE2lteagMPgpUZyT2Z7Xf95BIcy/s1600-h/nqa+challenge+2009+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383587374940266994" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjssQ3IaZ8SWlEjt0ae3HHqKxis4kWVFzvTi8iYJw7V44IYYR9o_qxhK725aXiB_CLGzooePrPBUaKqajzbKgvB5ASH99ojnWa35saiiUuo9s4otMj8bHE2lteagMPgpUZyT2Z7Xf95BIcy/s200/nqa+challenge+2009+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuw8-vMTB8ypstOa40VOvTITGppoQ27dR3EjrpSne1wAU4ZIHwQtr8zdZJeuskzz4s7er_ezv9hyak58cK4C9AAxJlf1836RWJsFBhLM3tNzToos7L2t-XCA1IhSseEGoqfM6wJr-o5LXw/s1600-h/firestar+quilt+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383587364047865682" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuw8-vMTB8ypstOa40VOvTITGppoQ27dR3EjrpSne1wAU4ZIHwQtr8zdZJeuskzz4s7er_ezv9hyak58cK4C9AAxJlf1836RWJsFBhLM3tNzToos7L2t-XCA1IhSseEGoqfM6wJr-o5LXw/s200/firestar+quilt+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Well it was a good year at the fair.

Well can't stay long. I've gotta get grades done and posted for mid terms. Have lesson plans to get finished and printed ..then there are bills that need paid.....really need a twin of me to do all the stuff I hate to do so that I can quilt. On that end, I have "Turtle Top #3 done and quilted it yesterday. Now I just need to get the turtles on it and to the group who wants to auction it off this month. I also have the guild challenge quilt top done and need to get it quilted so it can be turned in next week. Then I need to start thinking about Rich's celtic quilt for CHristma. Irene and I picked up some kick butt fabric in Knoxville for it..just need to design it and figure out what to do with it.Lesa Marie Bamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387767694321451331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043298951116198745.post-83500353877369938772009-09-20T12:09:00.002-04:002009-09-20T12:12:42.545-04:00Wow, so much for my new years resolution to update weekly heh?

Kris came up with the idea to look at value and see what we came up with(could only use blues) Then lotto the whole lot off with one lotto ticket for each block entered. I didn't win but hey had the chance to play and get away from the ho hum was good. The quilt should turn out pretty good when Bonnie gets done with it.</div></div></div></div>Lesa Marie Bamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387767694321451331noreply@blogger.com1
