A waiting game from South Jersey Quilter

 The snow is predicted to start tonight, and we could get 6-12 inches. Ralph has a plow guy lined up- at 76, he's finally got the sense to not do it himself with the snowblower for that much snow. 

I've been printing out the charts for the latest Attic24 crochet along, called Wildshore. I love her patterns, and have made (and given away) several. Herrschners has free shipping today, so I have to go thru yarn and see what I have and what I need.

After I finish Sally the snake, I want to do another scrap afghan ...

RSC 2026 Week 4 - January is BLUE from Grandma's Red Needle

 A new year is here, and so is RSC - Rainbow Scrap Challenge - hosted by Angela at SuperScrappy

I have yet to decide how much I'll participate in the RSC this year. Definitely not as much as the previous years.
I'm drowning in RSC blocks from the last 3 years and my goal is to make those into flimsies (some are done already, it has been some busy weeks sewing). It's even better if they can be finished, at least some of them! 

Last year, I did part of Sherri McConnell's BOM 2025 in RSC colors. I ...

The great paper caper - also called decluttering! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

OH!!!! I'm an idiot! OK -- maybe not an idiot, but I completely forgot there's a Virtual Retreat TODAY!!! I usually post about it and post the links several days in advance, and it slipped my mind. I didn't put it in the calendar, and I say I'm on top of things!!! Watch for the links at the end.

 And I'm behind this morning—it was a weird night. I woke up in the middle of the night - completely wide awake. I lay there for a while thinking perhaps I'm not really ready to get ...

RSC26 - Week #4 from My Sewing Room

In 2025 I finished a fairly big Buckeye Beauty quilt, and there were a few block units left over that have been in the orphan block box.  I saw - in this RSC group - an awesome quilt - with the same units (4-patch and HST) in a different layout. Instead of pointing those colorful triangles out, these will have them meeting in the middle. 


So much inspiration in this creative and generous group of people!!  Making a Lather posted a quilt yesterday that she made called Flying Home. Her blocks used the same fabrics/color in the 4-patch and the HST.  It ...

Jane Austen from Quilting Mathilda




 De eerste vier randblokken zijn af van de Jane Austen quilt, moet nog even wennen aan de Lori Holt methode, maar het begin is er.

 





 Ben helemaal gelukkig met de kleuren, op naar de volgende 4.

 


 Fijne dag toegewenst.

More blocks........................ from Exuberant Color

 

Yesterday morning I cut the 4.5" squares for all 6 combinations and last night I sewed the 24 blocks.

It was -7 when I checked yesterday morning and we never got above 0 all day.   I had to go out to PT and with the sun shining it didn't feel as cold as I expected.

Today is starting out in the minus degrees too but we will get above 0 today. 





I went through the new pile of strips I found in the basement and there were 3 more greens and purples.  This will make 12 more blocks ...

Psalm 3, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

 

Hello There,
Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate your time and visit!  This week my son had the terrible after-COVID-migraines.   Last night he showed signs of improvement and even asked for pizza!  I think we may start with homemade chicken soup.  LOL! 

So it’s been a pretty quiet week around here—lots of reading, sewing, and playing my Township game. I definitely set a timer, because that game can be surprisingly time-consuming. My grandchildren are thrilled that I’ve finally joined them in an online game, and they’ve been patiently—and very gently—showing me the ropes ...

Quilt Finish: Pfeffernuse from Jo's Country Junction

It finally happened. I longarmed my Pfeffernuse quilt. I started working on this when my hip/leg/back started acting up this summer. This is the second time I’ve made this quilt. You can read about my first one HERE. I ended up gifting the quilt to family friends and always missed the quilt. That’s okay. I’m …

Trip To Tacoma - All Day from Quilting My Way

 This morning, I enjoyed being able to sleep in. Had some trouble with my thumb last night. So, it was nice to finally get some sleep.

We left around 11:30am to head to Tacoma. We decided to get lunch at the Spaghetti Factory. We arrived around 1:30 pm. It was the first time in a long time that we were there. Must be about 10 months at least. It wasn't crowded, as I thought it would be. We sat and enjoyed our lunch. We had plenty of time because my appointment wasn't till about 4:30 ...

Manx Quilting from Quarter-Inch Capers

I spent yesterday at quilt guild making ONE BLOCK! And, I didn’t even finish it! In my defense, it was all hand sewing, and it was a new to me technique. We learned about the history of Manx quilting, and then Beth showed us how to make our own. Here’s one Beth made as a demo:



I copied this from AI:

Manx quilting is a resourceful, traditional patchwork technique from the Isle of Mann, characterized by using fabric scraps, hand measurements (thumb, middle finger), and a unique "folded log cabin" method where fabric strips are folded and ...

Which One? - This or That from Melva Loves Scraps

I have been busy writing and testing my final pattern for the Little House Sew Along. 

And I am stuck!

This pattern was originally a 12" block and I need to reduce by 50%... making it a 6" block.


I'm stuck because I can't decide would more people be intimidated by the smaller strips cut to 1-1/4" wide?  It would make the pattern writing and assembly of the block really easy, but potentially more of a problem with getting the block to finish at an accurate finished 6" size. (THIS... Photo above ^^)  
Coping strips *could* be used ...

Lupine blocks all done from Beryl the Pearl

 I finished the last block, so now ready to sew together and make borders. At this point I could work on my other mystery quilt blocks, but I believe I’ll finish up Bonnie’s first. I love how the blocks turned out and really want to see a quilt top!

Vintage Roses ~ Sew & Tell - 1/19/26 from Melva Loves Scraps



Let's jump right into Sew & Tell Time!  This week's feature is from Gwyned's Life of an Artist and her first entry to the 2026 Project Quilting challenge.  here's her description of the challenge... in a nutshell.

"It takes place over 12 weeks and not the more typical 12 months. Second the turnaround time from the announcement of the challenge to the finish line is exactly one week. It starts with a challenge posted on Sunday. Then it is up to the individual to interpret the challenge, make something stitched and layered, finish it and post either ...
