What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It was a wild night! I hate it when you go to bed tired but can't fall asleep. The last couple of nights, I've been tired and tried to read my book. I could barely read a couple of pages, and I was fast asleep. Last night? Not happening. So I read more and more pages of the book. Let's say this is one of those psychological thrillers that well --- do you want to know what happens? This one is called Watch out for her" by Samantha J. Bailey, and it was creepy from the opening sentence ...

This year our color inspiration is coming from the amazing frog. I was a little concerned as I started researching frog colors that there wouldn't be enough colors for the year, I mean, they are all green, right?

 Today is my day to share a Cookie goodie. Thank you Carol (Just Let Me Quilt) for hosting this blog hop once again. It is so fun to be a part of this event. 

A few years ago I made these cute little snowmen for the children of some friends.  They were fun and easy.  There is a Hershey bar wrapped under the snowman.  I still think this is one of ...

 It's only the beginning of December but it is certainly getting busy.  All the various clubs and groups are winding down and having their Christmas celebrations.  And this week was no exception when I had several break ups to attend.  The Probus Club had it's last meeting of the year, followed by a Christmas meal.  Our monthly meetings are held in the local Cossie (Cosmopolitan) Club, and the staff had been busy making things look very festive.

This year the Probus Club formed a writing group. and I was keen to join ...

Not a lot of sewing got done once again – I need to get myself organized once again.  The binding will get sewed onto The Rose Garden one of these days!  One Jigsaw block got done.  Soon I will get all the units that I have made over to the design wall and pin in […]

Betty has been busy finishing quilts and is with us today to tell us about them. She writes:I have been able to complete some more lap quilts for children that were donate by Chris J of Sioux Falls, SD.  Here is the first one. It is a Sesame Street theme.  I quilted it with a …

Let the good times roll, if only for about 48 hours!

I wanted to sleep in, but Patrick was already up. He doesn't sleep in much anymore. Dang.  

I was up and getting ready to leave for the casino. It turned out to be a short day at the casino. We played off the money they gave us for the week. I won a $750 jackpot. Then we played with that money. We ended up leaving and bringing $100 home. It just wasn't his day, and it wasn't very lucky for us. We'd win big and then it took it all. When we changed machines, they weren ...

I never thought What I’ve Been Watching would ever become a regular blog post feature. It’s amazing what cancer in the spine and some pinched nerves will do. It’s turned me into more of a television watcher. Arnie was here, and no sports were on…at least not sports we were directly interested in, so he …

Sometimes you just want to play.  I wanted to play a bit with the piecing technique I used on the last piece I showed.   -Okay, so it still isn't finished, but I just wanted to play!   I used the same technique and a lot of the same fabric.  I decided to make a notebook cover.  The quilt part of this one is far less planed or fussed over, but it still took a lot of time.  So, I decided that I will not make this notebook cover to sell, but I will just keep this one for me.  No ...

Because I needed another new project to work on!

But mostly, because I ran across a random sketch in my sketch notebook, and I happen to have this bucket of strings . . .

. . . and this roll of paper my sister snagged me from somewhere . . .

. . . and I remembered seeing someone post about how they pieced random pieces onto adding machine tape, so I decided to give something like that a try. You can watch that video HERE.

My paper is 4″ wide, so I decided to trim the finished strips to 3 1/2″ when they are sewn, so I did the math ...

Good morning, my friends. Well, we're set for groceries for another week or so. Having not done any grocery shopping for nearly two weeks, our list was long. We were also slow getting out of the house. I did everything I could to procrastinate, including spending some extra time with my slow stitching. I can say I'm off to a good start on the latest Raggedy & Friends block.

How can it be December already? We've reached that point where you've either done a great job on your PHD plan or not.  There's not much opportunity to fix it at this point.  So I'm going to confess my lack of progress and link up with Ms. P Designs for the November PHD report.  

No new finishes, but one new start.  The 2026 Guild BOM won't end until next year and doesn't officially start until January. But as I'm the one leading it this year, I have to be ready to go one ...

Hello my friends! Happy December to you. It’s hard to believe the year is almost over, and we are now in the Christmas Advent season. I hope you have had a good one. My daughter has 2 Christmases (including this year’s) left before she heads to college. I am trying to seize EVERY moment I can enjoying the season with, in spite of her busy schedule!

Today I am EXCITED to announce the next sampler BLOOMING SCRAPPY QAL with my latest book Scrap Quilting with Wendy Sheppard! My very sweet friend Pat Sloan will be sewing along. You ...

With the holidays upon us, it should be a great time for fabric out. Did you finish some projects last month? Perhaps gave some fabric away? Anything that left your sewing room for good counts.

For Fabric Out, I finished the Garden Panel Quilt and delivered it to the committee at the November meeting. Total fabric out for top, backing and binding = 6-1/2 yards

Knowing that I needed a bit more out, I pulled some fabrics from the stash, including a couple of pieces I just brought home in October. the bright floral print is one yard, the blue ...
