What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

With a series of 6 workshops and 4 guild presentation events there is BOUND to be a plethora of wonderful eye candy urging you to get in there and FINISH YOUR PROJECTS!  Or start a new one! HA!

I was so impressed by the productivity of these fabulous quilters, willing to take on everything from large mystery quilts to even larger leader & ender projects – bringing blocks, tops in progress, quilts waiting for binding, all the way to bound and labeled.

Last night I finished the body portion of the Linho sweater. Nothing left but the sleeves! The sleeves should be fairly quick and easy . . just plain knitting. Maybe I’ll stick with this and get it finished soon but today, I’m back to working on unicorn mittens!

Hello and happy Thursday!  Today I’m sharing a fun Fat Quarter Shop simple pin cushion project I filmed with them back in March of 2016.  I had a lot of fun filming this tutorial and was super excited when they emailed to let me know they were re-posting it!  So today I’m sharing my Pretty […]

     One of the pieces I used in the art quilt presentation was this ongoing leaves quilt. I pin basted it and am doing big stitch with No. 8 Perle Cotton for the quilting. I find this type of hand quilting fun. It is portable, and I can take it when I have to wait somewhere.

Brownies are pretty simple, but I'm a simple girl and I only had 6 boys on Friday so I switched out my planned dessert because I didn't want a lot of leftovers. I had everything for brownies so brownies it was. I mean what's a home without the ingredients for brownies on hand for those emergency brownie baking sessions? I imagine everyone has a favorite brownie recipe, but the boys REALLY loved

My Chrstine's Kitchen top -- version 2.0! -- is now ready for quilting!

I sewed together the three out of four of the rows of blocks right away. The last remaining row is the row containing the two flower blocks which stick out of the vases.

Our rug hooking guild this week was a combined meeting and hook in. We are an atha ( Association of Traditional Rug Hooking Artists ) chapter. We are interested in increasing our membership. I have been meeting with these great ladies for almost 10 years now, And I am the young pup. haha.
I had a chance to add the football helmet to my Cleveland rug for the Cleveland browns.

Would anyone like some dogs? They say that having one is OK, two makes life easier and three - well it adds to the mix. But not when the dogs are NEEDY! I now have two needy dogs. They are attention hogs, to say the least. But all is quiet at the moment, so I'm blogging.

I forgot to mention that in the bag of quilts that I received yesterday, there was a book and a pattern. I don't know where the items came from, but thanks to the person. Someone probably asked me if I wanted that book ...

This area really does have some gorgeous sunsets. We were out last night and caught a picture of this one. We walked out of a building and I said “Look at the gorgeous sunset. I think it says “welcome home” to me!” Vince would not agree. I think he’s ready for me to be back...

So I have made good progress until it came to the marking of my quilt. I am trying my brand-new Border stencils from Cindy Needham and needed to mark on a darker background, i.e. purple. I thought that my trusted blue water soluble markers were probably not such a good choice so I was hunting around in my sewing box for a white marker. For smaller marks and lines here and there I use the Sewline Ceramic pencil which works really well, but I did not think that was overly suitable for marking with a stencil. I do need ...

Way back at the beginning of 2018 I set myself a few quilting goals. One was to have my work accepted in an art show, not just a quilt show. To that end I mounted “Sunset on Main” on a … Continue reading →

This is a really interesting place – some of this “museum” is inside and a good portion of it is outside. Paths to wander through, More weird shape cacti Look at all the spines on this one – I really would not like to fall onto any of these!! This snake was behind glass in […]

Bonjour à toutes! je suis du genre tête-en-l’air / pressée / bordélique ( cocher la réponse qui vous correspond aussi ! ). J’en oublie donc ma clé USB sur l’ordi de mon travail ou à la maison… bref… Afin de bien la repérer, j’ai choisie une nouvelle clé orange (il n’y avait pas rose, pff)…et … Continuer de lire une bidouille en passant…cordon clé USB

In this box look like they've been sorted through before - So I made piles of the various sizes as I pressed them - With a basket of TRIANGLES off to the right side - And strings too narrow to use behind that - The FQ and larger chunks in back with various shapes and sizes in the front - SELVAGES on the left - SOLIDS on the right - And not that many trimmings - YET - LOL - l)) I
