What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

If I was going to continue with last week‘s theme on Christmas hosting I might mention that it’s annoying to arrive somewhere and find there is no food in the house and nowhere to sleep. Fortunately I found a mattress and some bedding and made myself a little nest up on a landing. 

It is very frustrating to realise how much of my stuff is still here in Aberdeenshire but I don’t have room for it in Devon. 

I am trying to work out how I am going to ...

 Finished clues 1,2,3 and still working on clues 4,5,6.  Still squaring up clue 4, it’s slow going.  Make mistakes and have to redo, but will get there. I feel it’s a race against time, but then isn’t it always…

For the Majestic mystery I’m still squaring up the hourglass squares and have started on the checkerboard squares …need to put a photo

Every year, during The Final Countdown, I try to include one thinking/planning task, and I usually do that one on the last day. This year, I’m switching it up, and doing the thinking task on Day One.

And there are several facets to the task this year as well. I’m not making things super easy on us, because we have to do the hard stuff at some point! (And, as usual, this is meant for myself because I need it so much — I just like dragging you all along with me!)

We've reached that time of the year when the three of us are off work and have a hard time remembering what day it is.

Tick tock -- the end of the year is creeping closer and closer. Am I ready? Yep - pretty much. I have my schedule more or less organized for the first 6 months. WAIT --- that's at least as far as the things that I can control go. I have a couple of lectures to add and am just waiting on a response from someone before I schedule them. That's the sessions on scrap quilts. There will be one in February and one in March, so that's not an overly onerous addition to the schedule, and the prep time should ...

 Good Morning Quilters!  It’s our last Linky party of 2025.  This year has just flown by for me.  Has it for you?

This week I got a project out from time out and added two rounds to it.  The project is a combination of two of my UFOs - #1—-Collection for a Cause - Faith, a kit I bought of Moda fabrics.  And #2——-blocks from an internet 365 free blocks project from a few years ago.  

Here is the project right now:

And here was the last picture I showed you of this project:
