What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

for another baby quilt top going to St. Anne's.  This went together fast.  It is 38"  square.What are you up to? My 15 minutes a day is producing results. So glad to get back to it. Linking to Quiltpaintcreate's Sunday Stash link party and Quilting is more fun than Housework.  I have been so lost to blogging that I'm wondering if there are any left from two years ago when I was posting more

Lots and lots of little applique beads!

Not quite so many little applique beads, but more quilting.

A bumble bee on wood betony (also called Canadian lousewort).  Wild geranium, Virginia creeper (with horsetail in the background), false Solomon's Seal, golden Alexander, horsetail, fleabane.

This one is about a foot long. There are three ...

amid pieced blocks I added in an applique stem see?

This week has been full of art making and learning in many forms. I spent time in studio one working on the "growth" piece, as well as making a row (36" X 5" tall) of stems for the crocus piece. While sewing these I just look at contrast, use scraps which sometimes leads to 1/8th inch finished stems, color and line. 

I start with an idea, stems, and then let my artistic soul make the work. 

I watched several videos this week of interviews with Liz Gilbert and Ann ...

 

Hello there!

Welcome!  Thank you for visiting!  It's been a great week for healing, time with friends and hobbies!  

I hope your week was a good one!

We have someone new to finishing Community Quilts…Robin.

I’m always happy to get someone else interested in finishing tops.  I still get tops in and am always looking for a home for them.  Feel free to contact me if you’re interested in getting tops…I only ask that you send pictures back of the finished quilts and let us know where you are donating the quilts to.

Now for Robin’s quilts.  She writes:
“You sent me six quilts to finish a few weeks ago.  I have three finished.  The batting…
backing, and binding all came from ...

I can't believe that it's already been a fortnight since I last posted the Free Motion Mavericks linking party! Welcome to week 382. I hope that you've had time to play with fabric this week

It's time!  When your last great adventure was 38 years ago, it must be time to have another one.  As we are preparing to close our house sale, I have been scanning photos so we can have them digitally on the road with us.  We have slides.  We have prints.  We even have video footage.  Now that we will have some relaxing family time, I can think of no greater time to pull them out and revisit our past family adventures.

Here are a few pictures of my 1984/85 solo adventure of moving to Israel for a year ...

Letzte Woche besuchte ich das Selegermoor. Hier ein  paar Eindrücke! Es war einfach schön.

Last week I visited the Selegermoor. Here some impressions! It was just beautiful. 

 

I left Texas back on April 22nd heading for Paducah, KY.  Sharon, from https://too-many-hobbies.blogspot.com/, had asked me earlier in the year if I would be attending the AQS show in Paducah.      Ray and I had been discussing vacation plans previously.  We discussed a trip to California but with the rising gas prices we started thinking we should consider something closer.  

Donation Blocks for Can You Teal the Love
May 2022

When Kate over at Tall Tales from Chiconia announced that she is making an Ovarian Cancer charity quilt this year – after a two year pandemic hiatus – I knew right away that I wanted to contribute to this quilt project. The last one I had participated in was Go Teal it on the Mountain, back in 2018. The theme this year is love, with hearts being the feature element in the blocks’ design. To keep things interesting, she expanded the colorway from teal (predominant) and ivory, to include pink (in small ...

This is yesterday's post. For some reason I completely forgot to do my blog. Go figure- I do it enough!

The day started out with just relaxing and playing games for a little bit. Then I decided to work on my beading while Patrick went outside to work in the yard. It turned out to be a beautiful day. I didn't have the door open to enjoy the cool air, but I did enjoy sitting at the table enjoying the view.. 

It was too nice yesterday to spend any time in a windowless basement sewing room, and so my sewing projects went begging. I spent most of the day outside soaking up the sun. I'd already told you I was determined to weed the herb garden...which I did. It didn't need weeding so much as it needed whacking. The rosemary plant had died. I'd had this plant for two years, but generally, I can't keep them alive through the winter. Winter is no problem for the sage plant though. It has reached a stage where it ...
