What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I've been thinking about all the turkey dinners this week and put in an order to Farm Boy for our Christmas one. We've done this twice before and enjoyed it very much. Their turkeys are amazing and they even include dessert. Of course, I'll make a couple of our traditional side dishes too and a trifle. 

I read that the last full moon of the year, called the Cold Moon, is tonight and it is going to be very special by how high in the sky it will rise. Such a height won't be seen again till 2043. It's dark here now at 5 o'clock. Yesterday I took this photo of the back yard bathed in moonlight at that time. Unfortunately, the clouds kept sailing past hiding the moon. Sometimes, clouds add much beautiful moodiness to a December winter sky but my photo didn't capture that sadly. 

 Any progress is good progress. Even little bits here and there. I thought I might put that to the test and work in short stints in between everything else going on. I quilted two of dd's tops. First was a Christmas quilt the blocks were made about 25 years ago. Can you tell?. 

Dd surprised me making this little thing  from scraps she fished out of my trash. The center scraps weren't quite square. She didn't care. She has impressed me with her knowledge of quilting. She learned much from me but through osmosis. Or she's ...

 I have been busy all week cutting flannel scraps into 2.5" x 4.5" rectangles.  I think all of the pink scraps are done and I have moved onto blue.

I hope you all get a chance to read the comments. There are some great ones, and I need to respond to them! 

One person keeps a torque wrench in their vehicle! Oh my, and the number of people who use EXCEL!!! I am very far behind the times! I'm not sure I would track some of the things people track, but hey—we each need to do what works for us!!!!

I learn so much from coming to a retreat - well, any interaction with people! They are so much smarter than I am! Yesterday, we were talking about ...

It has been a crazy busy week this past week. Every one of my clubs had their holiday event, and one club had two. Tuesday night we went to a party, Wednesday was our guild tea, Saturday was a car club breakfast, followed by a drive out to Balsam Mountain for a party and overnight with breakfast event with the MINI club. We had planned to do a holiday stroll on Friday night but it was just too bloody cold to walk around outside. Back home, this little table top hanging said it all – I just want to Bake Stuff ...

No change in the numbers.

After finishing a big project, I started something much smaller.

I stitched these designs over 25 years ago from a Bucilla ornament kit.   I knew from the start I didn’t want to make ornaments.  I already have more ornaments than I can fit on the tree.

I was thinking a small wall hanging but never figured out a design.  Then I stopped stitching and forgot about them for 20 years.  Now that I’m stitching again, I’m determined to finish all my old pieces (and the new ones too).  There is no sense ...

 My latest pair of socks are now finished.  These ones have been knitted in some lovely cream hand spun wool gifted to me by my late friend Merilyn.  I've only got enough of this precious yarn left for one more pair of socks.  I added some left over 4ply sock yarn to make my favourite warm and cozy 12ply winter socks, just for me.  Knitting the heels always seem quite magical to me, and I often wonder who worked out how to do heels, way back in the mists of time.  I don't know about other sock knitters ...

This morning started out pretty good. When I finally got moving, Debbie asked me to go to Dutch Brothers for a drink. I said sure. So, we headed to DB before we worked on her quilt for her grandson. Came home, with a drink for Patrick and then headed downstairs to figure out what she needed for the quilt. 

Once she left, we had a few packages arriving. So, I think we are ready for the holidays now. 

Then I sat down at the table and finished the panel for the ornaments. Once that was done, I pulled out all ...

I’m a bit late in publishing this post. The Thanksgiving leftovers are long gone and were consumed in a timely manner. I just thought I would tell you what we did with the ham leftovers. We had both ham (Karl gets on from work) and brisket courtesy of Kalissa’s husband, Craig, who is a master …

I emptied out the bag and sorted the pieces into shapes and sort of sizes

two needle books to be finished off

squares, and a ...
