What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 I’ve started another project.  I do have a lot of projects in the works, but since this is a Christmas project I didn’t think it would count, right?  I couldn’t resist this one since it has hexagons (my favorite thing to stitch) and embroidery.  I basted the hexagons first.

This is called Merry Mistletoe by Lilabelle Lane Creations.  This is what the finished project will look like.  It finishes at 15” X 16” so it should be pretty quick to finish.   Those are famous last words.

Hello Quilt Friends! 

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we do have so much to be thankful for!!

I remember my mom and dad saying that around Thanksgiving time and it still lightens up the day to stop and give some thought to being thankful.

This last week I've been hand ...

 A Slow Sunday report on Monday. Last week was pretty much a write off. I got my flu and covid vaccines last week and they knocked me off my feet for a bit. Aching and very tired. Today is the first day I’ve felt like I had any energy. So that means there isn’t a lot to show for my week last week. I did a little bit on our Grand-daughter’s stocking. I have one of the last 2 gingerbread people finished and almost fully sewn into place. One more person to do and then I can ...

 I need to post to tell you why I haven't posted. Not quilting very much. We have a granddaughter who had a disaster fall in another country. She was teaching school there but this fall was horrific. She is blessed to be alive. 

In that fall, she broke all four limbs and had bruises everywhere. Getting her home was by email and prayer, as that other country wanted $$$ up front for everything, including ambulance. They did operate on a smashed left foot but that drained her finances and they didn't want her to put it through her valid ...

The back yard at 5:30 a.m.  Monday.  See the shed?  That's where the snow shovels were.   I put on my boots and retrieved them.

It warmed up and here's the same scene this morning.   The temps will reach 60 by Friday so all the snow will be gone.

Good morning, my friends. Our good sewing weather continues. Read that: It's raining. It means plenty of time in the sewing room, for sure. We had our usual bout of Sunday evening cabin fever, and so we went out for dinner last night. If it weren't for grocery shopping and Sunday evenings out, we might become complete shut-ins.

Yesterday's morning stitching had me finishing up the first of twelve Tiny Treasures. This one has stem stitch, lazy daisy, and French knots.

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday. During the presidential campaign, I was amused when Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania said, "My team is guided by three letters every single day: G-S-D." And, if you missed that, he spelled it out..."Getting sh*t done." When I can cross everything off a day's to-do list, I announce it to Mike: "I got sh*t done today." Admittedly, I didn't start sewing together the Merry, Merry Snowmen yesterday, but I got a lot of other stuff done.

First, I finished off My Embroidered Garden.

I started this project more than a year ago, but apparently, I didn't post about it until this post in April. It started as an attempt to use this border fabric and my extensive yellow-green and olive stash. 9 yards of this fabric were purchased in 2010 for backing for a green quilt, but the shade of green turned out to be wrong.* So the yardage has been languishing in my backing stash ever since, taking up space I could use for other fabrics. 

I also had an overflowing bin of yellow-green and olive fabrics. My plan was to ...

Thanksgiving is next week.  I'm not ready to be that far into the year!  But it comes regardless. Just like the November guild meeting is tomorrow.  My weekend sewing was focused on getting the 2025 Guild BOM to finished quilt top stage. 

 White on white.Hand embroidered panels which will be joined, seams embellished and which will become a pouch.Each panel is pieced using a mix of vintage and new fabric, trims and lace scraps.The surfaces are then embellished with hand embroidery, applique, cutwork, gimp, ribbons and lace.
