What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Well, if you can’t getaway, go to the library for a good book! The Utica, NY Public Library opened in 1904. I love the inside of this Library.

The upper floors of the Utica Library are made of thick glass. I used to love coming here as a child.

In every box of fabric we Island Batik Ambassador’s receive, there is a secret bundle of the newly released batiks. I was lucky enough to be ...

I've had many requests for sewing that doesn't involve Patchwork or Quilting, though why people wouldn't want to patch and quilt is amazing to me!! ha ha ha... 

Whether you are new to sewing with a sewing machine or picking it up after years of avoiding it, this apron will be a great project to get you in the groove.

Patch Pocket Apron Workshop  Saturday 16th February 10am - 3pm

The fabric choosing. Just one metre is all it takes... unless you want your pocket patch to be made in a co-ordination fabric ...

Of rows "stitched in the ditch" on Basic Math - And a couple of letters stitched on O Happy Christmas - And that's about all the sewing that I got done today - ;)) I spent most of my time writing up the cutting sequence and instructions for the Border Shell of my Quilt-Along LHQSQ 2.0 - And that's not as easy as it sounds - I'm so used to making it up as I go along - And posting as I

I quilted on the right side of the length of the quilt that I had been working on Wednesday night and finished that side letting me roll the quilt down last night to start back in the middle.  When I rolled it down it made it so the quilt is half finished!  I didn’t get […]

En väldigt intressant app som jag tipsats om är Libib, en app där du kan lägga upp ditt bibliotek, t ex alla dina kviltböcker. Appen finns både för Android och Apple. Jag har börjat så smått och lagt upp ett bibliotek för de böcker jag har om Art Quilt. Det är väldigt enkelt att göra, har boken en streckkod är det bara att läsa av den, scanner är inbyggd i appen. Finns ingen streckkod får man lägga in titel, författare m m manuellt.

on that blue and violet mysterious night.

Last week I traveled down to Tehachapi for a visit to the Tehachapi Mountain Quilters. I met the program chairs from the group last April at the SCCQG Meet the Teachers event.

After a long drive, I rolled into town on Sunday evening, ready to join them Monday morning for their guild meeting. My new Island Batik scarf made it's debut since it was the perfect match the my top. I couldn't resist stopping for a quick photo of the beautiful mountain view on my way to the meeting.

I shared my My Quilting Journey lecture with a ...

When I was choosing a name for my blog, I wanted something that reflected my love of embroidery as well as my love of quilting.  Five years ago I probably spent more time on embroidery than I did on quilting.  Now the tables have turned and quilting takes up the majority of my spare time, but I do still like to do embroidery, knitting, tapestry, and crochet etc.

This week I was finally putting away my Christmas presents, and I thought that I may as well "kit up" (and embroidery term I discovered on Instagram) my two newest Gingerbread Village ...

I started working on my Crumb baby Friedman quilt this past week.  I didn’t get a lot of sewing time.  Life got in front of my best intentions.   I was hoping to get my alphabet all done.  I forgot how tedious making the letters can be.  I love making them though.

Here’s how I made an “O”.  I cut a piece of fabric for the center.  I just guess a size that I think might be good.

I free form cut some triangles and sew them to the corners.  I iron them open.

From there I iron and ...

Let's give a Whoop, Whoop! It's been raining all day.  Praise the Lord!  A steady rain except when a cell comes over - then it's a downpour for a couple of minutes.  We're so grateful.  I pray for our SoCal neighbors to the West which are in the Woolsey Fire area.  They are on notice to evacuate if the authorities call about potential mud slides. I've been working on a crochet project.  Some

How do I chose a block of the week to share?  I usually select something from one of the (many) projects I am currently working on. Today I was pondering which block to do today, perhaps something from my Kansas City Star CD-Rom. There are hundreds to chose from in the KCS collection, after all they published one block a week for years and years .....

This morning I enjoyed being able to sleep in. I really didn't want to get up. Once I did, I just played some games. Kept thinking of what I needed to do, but just didn't feel like it.

I finally got moving! I went downstairs and heated up the room. Then I got my stuff together. I wanted to work on the quilt top I had started before.
