What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning I was up by the time Patrick left. I had to get out the door for my dental appointment. I didn't know about this till two days ago when I got the reminder call. I was just one time, but they were behind time. So, I waited about 20 mins. Then I was there a good hour. Didn't think cleaning would take that long but it does. Afterwards went over to Safeway to get some sandwich meat and bread for supper.

Came home and really didn't feel like doing much.....Keep finding myself taking out ...

I'm rising, but the shining is a struggle.

Apple Cider Market Tote aka The Winslow Market Tote I first saw this tote pattern in the 2018 issue of Make It! Patchwork. It was designed by Kathy Mack and was showcased on the Quilting Arts TV Episode #601. It was originally featured as the Winslow Market Tote and has since been renamed the Apple Cider Market Tote. The pattern can be purchased HERE. I haven't made many bags, but I

Do you have UFOs?
I know a few quilters that don’t, but they are definitely the freaks of the quilting world. They must hang with the quilters that don’t have a stash (yes, they are out there).
If you need a little incentive to work on your UFOs, you can head over to Pat Sloan’s blog every Friday to see which UFO she is trying to finish. You can also post a picture of your UFO in process, but you can’t link back to your blog, website, etc. Last week about 90 people shared photos for ...

We finished up harvest here on the farm just in time for me to post my third quarter goals for the Finish-A-Long. Are you going to join me this quarter? There's just one more day to post and link up your goals - so don't dally! Wondering exactly what the Finish-A-Long is? Check out the details here.

What was I Thinking … Found some very old hexie blocks in the dark depths of the stash – perhaps they should have stayed there! Another blast from the past when making first attempts at exploring hand piecing, hexagons, weird … Continue reading →

I like it!

This post has icky pictures in it…read at your own caution.

I got a call from Kalissa early this morning.  She said, “Did you see the picture I just sent you?”  I said no..and then I looked.  ewww!!!

She said Carver had come downstairs that morning before she did..and then next thing she heard was Carver screaming.  She hustled downstairs to see a very bleeding Carver and this…he had bit his tongue.  The thought is that he jumped down the last couple steps of the staircase and fell, biting his tongue.

After a call to his ...

Definitely over-blogging on my funky Bird Quilt, however this is all I have been working on in the last week while on leave.

This is how far I got

They were delicious! I used the Asian Chicken Meatball recipe from Peace, Love and Low Carb. I followed the recipe exactly except I used one pound of ground turkey instead of two pounds of ground chicken (because Aldi had ground turkey and no ground chicken) so I used half as much of everything else. We...

It has been a while since I’ve written a blog, but I thought you might need a breather after the four days in a row with our new book Hidden Treasures Blog Tour. It is hard to believe that we are halfway through the year, which made me wonder if I’d left out any amazing quilts from previous articles. Because I can only have 4-5 photos in each blog, sometimes I must make hard choices on which gems to include. However, a review of the year revealed that I’d not only left out antique quilt gems, but ...

As anyone who has read my blog entries before should know, my husband and I moved from Utah for a multitude of reasons but most involved politics. That still encompasses a multitude of complaints and oddly enough Trump has now begun to echo one of the complaints that both of us had about Utah.

We moved to Utah in 1991 at a time when their economy wasn't doing well and despite my serious objections to the move we went. We bought a white elephant property--a 10,000 square foot house that had been abandoned for a few years and ...

I have never paid much attention to the cost of groceries. We buy what we need and if there’s something on my list, rarely do I let the cost keep me from getting it. Granted, most things I buy are reasonably priced. Things that are expensive, like brisket, prime rib, etc., I only buy on...
