What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 I've been somewhat of a lazy cook since Thanksgiving, but we've kind of been on the go. On Monday, DH had an appointment in one town and drove another 2 hours to another town to look at some pipe.I was in town on Tuesday to meet a friend for lunch and a long visit and to run a couple of quick errands. DH worked on some plumbing at the barn.Wednesday, DH was gone again to pick up the load of

This week has gone fast.  Hard to believe that it was just last Monday we got back from our Thanksgiving holiday trip. Both My Guy and I kept asking each other what day it was all week.  Sunday didn't feel like Sunday, mainly because we finally did our big Christmas shopping trip to Tulsa. I'm not done, done, with the shopping, but pretty close. There are still a couple of things we decided we'd be better off ordering. Hopefully, I get that done today.  Getting the tree up and wrapping presents is likely to take a good ...

I'm home!! And I have NOTHING on the agenda that requires an overnight stay until the end of March! Yes!!!! I'm so excited!!

Regarding Bluetooth, my brain isn't comprehending the matter this morning, and I need to process this a bit more. But I learned last night at dinner, after complaining about the Bluetooth issue, that the Sonos speaker I have is Wi-Fi-enabled. So I do not even need a Bluetooth device to make it work! I connect to the internet through the app (of course!), and then I link to Spotify or the radio. NO device ...

Good Morning Quilters!

I’ve been working on the hourglass blocks for the “In The Round” quilt that I purchased recently at a quilt retreat.  It has been a great project for this busy time, as making hourglasses involves simple sewing along a penciled line - which is just what I need right now.

There are only two sets of hourglasses to finish and the others are all completed.  It will be fun to put this quilt up on the design wall, and see the color gradations appear.  Next week, I hope to be at that stage.  

Here is a picture ...

 For years we owned and traveled with a 2008 Airstream. As the years have passed, we were doing more and more repairs and upgrades on the silver bullet. After a major wheel break we decided that we would try to sell it. So in July a lovely lady came and wanted to buy the Airstream. We were sad to see her go, as we had so many great memories while traveling.

My hubby thought we would look at motor coaches. And after several rounds at dealerships, we came across Coach House motor homes. Built in south Florida, it was an ...

I was a roll from last week when I actually got a little sewing done. Monday morning, I decided to give myself some sewing time. I had planned on working on my Mystery Quilt, but my Emerald City quilt pieces were lying around the machine. So…I started sewing them. I didn’t iron anything…I knew I …

Today, I wanted to get moving more on the ornaments. I also needed to get some laundry done, but I only had time for two loads. I did clean a few things that we always do on Sundays. 

Then it was 1:00 pm and I needed to get out the door. We thought we would be giving out a quilt at the WWII dinner. It was an awesome presentation! But, nope, we didn't have someone to give the quilt ...

I started a few new projects this week - 

An advent stitch along from Artmishka Cross Stitch on Facebook - everyday we get the pattern to stitch a small bit of the design (it's free) - 7 days so far, all with one colour of thread.

I’ve decided to speed things up a bit.  It looks like I was only completing my Running Doe tops for the top-a-long.

Runny Doe for August is Amelia.

I threw a wrench in the works and made this top.  This is a kit I bought a long time ago.  This is called Daisy Star.  It used panels that have flowers on them cut apart and reassembled.  It was fun to play ...

I don’t know why I am surprised every December by how quickly Christmas looms. I was feeling some dread that I had not done any Christmas shopping or making and could not see how I could fit it in. Additionally, it is Fergus’s birthday 2 weeks before Christmas and I just have not got the funds to send something amazing, especially as I won’t be there and he is doing his last big gig of the year at Oran Mor in Glasgow’s West End on his actual birthday! He had expressed an interest in a cross-body ...

 Cross stitching has again grabbed my attention, to the exclusion of all other hand stitching, at the moment at least. I did lots on the Raccoon. The tail is complete and I’m working my way across the bottom in an attempt to get all the green stitched. However, I’m getting a little tired of the green, so I may start on the pink for the flowers and the brown for the stems just for a little variety.

I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching.

Good morning, my friends. Oh my...it is so dark outside. We're expecting lots of rain over the next several days. There could be around 4 inches in our area with minor flooding concerns in some places. Here on our hill, we're not at all worried about flooding. Sadly, however, Mike discovered the drainage pipes leading away from our downspouts are clogged with pine needles that cannot be dislodged with any equipment we have. We're going to have to call a plumber to snake those out. That should be a nice tidy plumbing bill. When it comes ...
