A Week With Company from Jo's Country Junction

Last week, Arnie’s grandson was at my house. I think I told you that he is doing homeschooling and got a little behind on his work. The idea was for him to stay with me so I could monitor him and encourage him to get caught up. Evan is super smart…he just quit doing the …

Embroidery At Moms Today from Quilting My Way

This morning, Patrick was off golfing, and I was headed to moms. I needed to make a couple stops on the way, and then I was at moms by 9:45 am.  I was the first to get there. We chatted a bit and then Geralyn arrived. After her was Georgie. 

We had a good visit. Both Geralyn and I were working on her project. She was asking about how I would do the bee she needed to do. We chatted about that. Then I was showing her my round robin stuff. I had the three right there. I decided ...

Busy Days from Romany Quilting

It's the lead up to Christmas and the days are still so busy.  On Monday the first thing on my list was a visit to the library, as I had found out that the local library would be closed for two weeks over the holiday period.  Oh dear, what if I run out of books to read!  So I called in and collected three more, just in case.   The library was nicely decorated and had quite a Christmas vibe, very nice indeed.

The Doctor Report from Jo's Country Junction

Last week was doctor week for me. I had Physical Therapy on Tuesday and got released for PT. This was both good news and bad news. I’ve improved, but not as much as I had hoped. The reason for releasing me is that my PT guy has shown me all the exercises…Now I just need …

Last Gasp Sewing from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We're in the waning days of the year with Christmas just around the corner. Today I'll need to get serious about preparing for our trip. Yesterday, I spent some time checking the lists I'd made to see what's already packed and what still needs packing. (Some things live in the RV full time, but I sometimes need refills or updates.) Today I'll start doing some of the cook-ahead items, starting with the Frozen Breakfast Burritos. They're good any time, but they're especially nice when we're driving from one ...

I offer to you a happy and festive greeting as we are in the midst of the "most wonderful time of the year."  We are ready to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior sans any tree.  Dave and I are both fine with it...

I don't forget that there are many people that celebrate different holidays at this time of year, including the Festival of Lights (Hanukkah).  I cannot ...

Of course, those little cracker blocks have many more small pieces and took longer to stitch/trim/de-paper than these blocks - 

Before I knew it I thought I had all that I needed and the layout process began yesterday!

Denim and Corduroy and Upholstery - Oh My! from Night Owl Quilting



This quilt contains no quilting cotton on the front!  Karen used a mix of denim and corduroy and upholstery fabric instead.  When Karen asked if this would be suitable for me to longarm I said my Innova was definitely up for the task.


I found it interesting how Karen included some of the side seams in the squares.


Karen selected the Starry pantograph and Quilter's Dream Puff batting to keep things nice and light.

Deadline Sewing Done for December from Life In Pieces

The week before Christmas always seems to pass in a rush. I felt off for a couple of days early last week.  Thankfully it appears to be just my sinuses reacting to all the crap the strong winds blew in.  That slowed me down a bit on the stuff that had to get done, but didn't stop progress completely. All the gifts were wrapped yesterday. Even My Guy has all his wrapping done. There were two sewing projects that had deadlines this month.  The first was the guild BOM. 





This year's BOM includes a large Carpenter Star block ...

Design Wall Monday - Dec. 22 from My Sewing Room

We were basically NOT home all weekend, so there isn't much of anything to report.  At least not on the sewing front.  I've fallen way behind in reading blogs and commenting.  But we did get to see both daughters' families over the past couple days.  I'll spare you any photos of deer hunting grandsons or wrestling granddaughters. 

On Friday, the 5th clue for Bonnie Hunter's mystery was posted.


It was an easy clue - directing us to use the Clue #1 units in basically an Ohio Star block.  Added to the Clue #1 units were 4 matching ...

Veronica - Layer Cake Friendly Quilt Pattern from Sew Preeti Quilts

Cleverly pieced, it comes together in the most elegant way. All you need is a Layer Cake of your choice plus 4 yards of background fabric. No special rulers or fancy dies.




The detailed directions include colored pictures for every step. The clever piecing means you don't have to fiddle with little pieces. Quick for experienced quilters and easy for beginners, Veronica is a win-win.




The pattern ...

A doozy of a puzzle!!!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Yesterday was a special day, and I almost missed it until I saw someone post about it last night. And someone mentioned it on the blog yesterday. It was Winter Solstice Day. While this means winter has officially arrived, it also means that each day is a little longer. Well, the day isn't longer (don't we wish!), but the sunlight is a little longer. I don't care if the daylight is only a few seconds longer— soon it will be summer! Don't worry -- I like winter, and as long as you dress appropriately, it's not ...
