What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, Patrick was up before me. He waited till about 10:30 am to go golfing. The weather is cold and the frost is out there in the mornings. The golf course doesn't want anyone out there before the frost is cleared. He ended up waiting till 11:30 am to go out. 

I enjoyed the morning by doing nothing important. I decided to listen to my book and enjoy the morning. So, I pulled out my crocheting and worked on the leg warmers. 

I finished the one leg, but don't care for the way it was ...

 The thought of completion is a great motivator!  I couldn’t wait to get started this morning.  And it’s been a productive day.  But I also know when it’s time to stop for the day.  Assembling the outer bag parts is tricky because of the many layers and the curves created by the side pieces.  The best advice I heard for this part of bag making is that seams do not have to be continuous. 

I can never get bored of putting these blocks into layout. So much movement and so many little piece of scraps that brings in memories of previous projects! Read more to see the latest progress and enjoy a few photos of these scrappy Ocean Wave blocks.

Last year, I focused on making half square triangles whenever I had scraps and a ...

Hey there friends!  According to the weather forecasts, if you're almost anywhere in the southern/central US, you're gearing up for a major winter storm, with some pretty shocking ice/snow forecasts.  I'm hoping that as the storm gets closer, these numbers are a little more reasonable, but at one point here in the Memphis area, we were forecasted to get 18-24" of snow!  That is completely unheard of here.  Currently, our forecast sits at 5-8" of snow, which is better, but not really.  Because with this storm, less snow means more ice (up to a half ...

 Jammed With Secrets by Selina Hill

I enjoyed the first book in this new series featuring Sadie Cruz, a celebrity chef whose reputation took an awful turn after a food critic died after sampling her restaurant's Heavenly Duck. Now she's in the spotlight again when a member of a 90s boyband is found dead in  her food trailer with one of her jam filled heart cookies smeared all over him.  It's an entertaining plot with a likeable protagonist, even if it sometimes felt like her investigation circled, going over the same information multiple times.

I’m about to let the month get away from me! I’ve just been working away and not paying any attention to what day it is. I’m trying to stay in as much as possible, since it’s winter.

But I’m all ready with this month’s challenge:

Get rid of one thing a day

By the time of the next challenge, you’ll have rid yourself of nearly 30 items you no longer need or want. Think of all the space that will clear up!

I’m going to be getting rid of worn out tools ...

It was a crazy weather day when I picked up my mystery quilt and decided to get it bound. We had bad weather coming in with strong blizzard-category winds. I had a goal to quickly finish put the binding on my mystery quilt and then get outside and take pictures of it. I had the …

 No sewing time today - and there wasn't any sewing time yesterday either.  Today will be taken up by "work" hours.  I'm mostly retired, but technically on call for when I'm needed.  This week is the annual employee face-to-face meetings, training, dinners, etc. in Sioux Falls.  Today is going to be the only day I attend.  

Yesterday I spent the morning getting some Quilts of Valor correspondence and paperwork brought up to date.  Some additional sorting of tops, backs and block sets for QOV was also long overdue.  A box was packed with tops and backs to send ...

 It was 12 this morning! The high will be in the low 20's! And a storm coming in this weekend. We're set with bread, milk and eggs, yarn, kindle books, and fabric. 

Thirty TATW blocks on the wall!  Seven more for the project, though I'll probably make a couple of extras.

I'd like to finish them up (the blocks, that is; making them into table mats can wait) and put the batiks away.  Then I can get going on the Stay at Home Round Robin.

I'm still watching the West Wing (up to season 5).   The show ran from 1999-2005.  Issue then are issues now: Pres. Bartlet brokers a Gaza peace deal; Then there's a diplomatic goof when he accepts the wrong Taiwanese flag to the anger of ...

Good morning, my friends. What a marvelous day we had yesterday. It’s going to be another good day today. I have a lot of pictures to show you, and not a lot of time to write. So, let’s just get right to it. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, we were heading to La Jolla to walk on the Coast Walk Trail. We left the kitties in their usual state of angst,

It was about a 45-minute drive. When we crested a hill, there it was again: the Pacific Ocean ...

TODAY’S ASSIGNMENT: (4) Snail Blocks from Who’s Cruising Round Town quilt.

 Anfang des Jahres fängt die Quilt-Welt immer an zu hyperventilieren: Es gibt viele Aktionen, wie Quilt Alongs (QAL), Block of the Months (BOM) und Challenges zu den Themen Nähzimmer aufräumen oder UFOs fertigstellen. Wenn man so wie ich neugierig ist und danach sucht, wird es irgendwann wie eine riesige Ideen-Lawine. Doch wie sortiere ich nun die vielen Ideen?

Ich speichere mir als erstes die Aktionen ab. Das geht meistens auf Instagram. Ich interessiere mich eher für QALs und BOMs, d.h. die schau ich mir an. Gefällt mir das Muster, wie ist der Zeitplan usw. Danach beginnt ein kleiner Stress-Moment ...

 Hand stitched overlays for the pages in this little book.They provide depth along with space to add more embellishment.They are yet to be attached as I have plans for fabric swatches too and perhaps some little buttons for the pages, all coordinated of course.
