Wednesday Wait Loss 467 from The Inquiring Quilter

Welcome to Wednesday Wait Loss!

WWL is a place where you can share photos of quilts you’re working on and get encouragement to finish them from our Wednesday Wait Loss group! As you can see, I’ve been doing this for years (over 460 weeks!) and so our group is strong, loves to share, and is very welcoming.

Here’s how it works. Every week I start out by sharing what I’ve been working on. Then I share the projects from the previous week that most inspired me so that they will inspire you too! This is followed ...

Crochet Crazy from Becca's Crazy Projects

It has been about a month since my last post about my scrappy 6-Day Crochet Star blanket. 
It has reached a pretty respectable size that might be a good throw blanket for the couch. I don't think I'm quite done, yet. I keep thinking the scrappy version would make a wonderful poncho.

Pattern: 6-Day Crochet Star blanket from Betty McKnit

Starry Seas BlogHop from Sew Preeti Quilts

Welcome to Day 3 of the Starry Seas BlogHop.

Here is my response!

Dawn to Dusk


When Jennifer of Inquiring Quilter asked me to join the Starry Seas BlogHop, I did not respond at once. I needed to see the fabric collection first. 



Hmmm, what does that inspire? Let's take another look.

It reminded me of my commute. My new job requires me to leave home before dawn and return after dusk, meaning that I experience sunrise and sunset (especially during these winter months), through the sometimes murky train windows. It is both sad and beautiful.

Dawn


Dusk

How many times have I lamented that I need just one more day? A few I know. Well, guess what? I just got one more day!!

I had something planned for today, and it got postponed until next week. So that gives me one more day to prep for the two classes and the UFO Club on the weekend. YAHOO!!!!!!

A clean plate from Happy Cottage Quilter

 Keeping the plate clean on your iron can be troublesome at times.

My biggest problem appears to be the plate seems scorched in places. 

I recently found something that works not only on the scorch marks but on gunk that may accumulate on my iron.

Using a damp Magic Eraser (that I use to wipe away marks on my painted walls) I found that it also works on removing every mark on the iron faceplate. I had to use a little more pressure on the indention's as they were well baked onto the faceplate. 

YAY!!!

Clean iron!!

Machine quilting................ from Exuberant Color


The table runner made with Marcia Derse fabric has been nagging me to get finished.  Finally last night I chose this Invisafil thread and changed my bobbin thread and got busy.








I chose the easiest block to ditch quilt first.  Can't see the quilting?  That's the point with ditch quilting.  Of course you can find a couple places where I wandered a little out of the ditch.








The last block was the hardest to find a continuous line of stitching.  I had to do a few stops and tie offs to get the whole block finished.  I have ...

WIP Wednesday from Just Sew Sue

 

I have been working on part 4 of Paris, Je t’aime by Pride & Joy Quilting. I am surprised at my progress and I have all parts of the piece foundation pieced apart from one, so I need to prep the appliqué pieces next.


I was going to pin my fabrics to my design wall to free up space next to my sewing machine but instead I’ve laid them out on the window sill which is to the left of my sewing machine. I’m not worried about sun damage as I will put away the fabrics until February ...

Cross Stitch Finishes 2025 from Jo's Country Junction

It’s that time of year again. Time for tallying and assessing…that is true for cross stitch too. This year, I had a ton of cross stitch finishes. Some of the pieces I finished for my daughter Kelli…some of my own. Grab a drink and let’s look back on my cross stitch finishes of 2025. I …

Meetings from Quilting My Way

 This morning, I wanted to enjoy a few minutes of time to myself. Then I had to get a few things done for the meeting at the museum. 

I left around 10:10 am and stopped at the post office. I was able to get the package out in the mail. Then I went to Dutch Brothers. 

Next stop was the museum for our meeting. A few were there before I got there. I was a little late, considering I wanted to be there around 10;30 am. It was a good meeting. We ate and then talked about what ...

Sorry, (Not Sorry), This Is NOT a Nine Patch Variation New Year's Day 2026: Studio Setup Continues with Design Wall, Ruler Peg W... from Cheeky Cognoscenti

If you've signed up to receive the email newsletter from the International Quilt Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, you were treated to a photo of this glorious Civil War era antique quilt by an unknown maker yesterday:


93.5 x 85.5 Quilt From IQM Collection, circa 1860-1880


Look at the masterful color and value placement and deployment of design principles in this quilt that was created by someone who definitely did not have a "design wall" and probably didn't have any formal art training, either.  I love how those two opposite L-shaped brackets of darker blocks ...

And Every Now and Then, I'm My Own Customer from Ann Quilts

 

I made this quilt, actually a tied comforter, back around 1980.  I had been quilting just a few years.  I stepped out of the initial "pillows and place mats" stage, and made my first bed quilt.

Past blogs detail both the story of the quilt and the stories of the fabrics I used.   

The fabrics in the quilt are all mementos of past sewing projects, sewn both by my mom and childhood self.  And my husband and I have slept with it, as did our kids when young and in our family bed.  So, by 2020, it was showing signs ...

2025 Cross Stitch Review from Pointless Quilter

 I had a busy year with cross stitching for sure.  I got a lot professionally framed this year at our local Hobby Lobby.  They have a girl there that actually laces the pieces, and she does a great job.  These are in no particular order.  If you need more information on any of the pieces, just email me and I'll get you the information.  

The first piece I'll show was the 2024 Fox and Rabbit mystery which I finished at the beginning of the year and loved it so much it was worth framing.  It hangs near my ...

Quilt News!! Inspiring Improv by Nicholas Ball Book Review, 4 Improv Log Cabin Blocks Quilt Choosing the Backing, Snowball Blocks with Improv Sawtooth Borders Hand Quilting Progress. from Crazy Victoriana

Nicholas Ball shares his take on improv quilt design.

See the same sunflowers next to each other on the 2 logcabin strips?? Sunflowers too close for my liking.

Here is the new version I repieced. I took out the 'log' with the repeat sunflower and replaced it with a dark print.

This section in Nick's book, Part Two Practice, is my favorite, I love the color combinations.

Here are some backing fabrics I'm considering. The 4 Improv Log Cabin Blocks small quilt will be approx 18" x 18". Just right for sitting on a table.

Two Projects from The Knitting Quilter

I've been diligently working on making my 44 pink blocks for the 6th round of the Facets quilt. I wanted to see how it would look so I laid out all my blocks. I like how it's coming along! The blocks are a little bit tedious to make but I'm used to it so I just keep making them! I have one more full round which will feature blue/aqua. Then I have a half round which will work as the border. I think that round is mostly red. I feel this would be another good candidate ...

Scraps & Bits ~ Sew & Tell - 1/12/26 from Melva Loves Scraps


It's been a calm and productive week in the studio of Melva Loves Scraps and I am relishing the quieter routine of winter and the presence and prevalence of Shalom. 
 But before I get into that let's take a look at this week's randomly selected feature... Alycia at Alycia Quilts showed off her January Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks.  She calls them Chunky Churndashes.  They're fun and bright!  And I am guessing that they will be paired with some red blocks to become a Quilt of Valor.  I mean, Alycia is the QUEEN of QOV, at least ...
