What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 One of the things I love this week was getting a photo of a wren. I've often caught sight of them down by the pond because I think they like the heavy shrubbery on three sides. There is a meadow there as well and loads of grasshoppers which I know wrens are fond of. However, it was right in front of my kitchen window that I managed to grab two quick shots of this little guy while he was checking out the decaying plants.

 In the third shot I took he was a complete blur.

We had quilt guild last night. We are meeting in a park pavilion so the pictures are crummy, but, you can get an idea of  the quilts that our presenter brought for us to see. Steve is from Brownsburg Indiana and has a shop called: not your average quilter.

There are  189 pieces in the lion.

This is a vector photo of himself.

OH - I found the pictures that I wanted to share with you, but I'll do that tomorrow. And I sure hope that you popped over to the Try-A-Triad Challenge page and voted for your favorite quilt. Remember, mine is on the bottom row on the left!

And did you go to Riel's web page? If you haven't, check it out. She's a quilter, and she published two quilt books. I haven't had a chance to read The Little Ghost, who was a Quilt yet. 

Today, it's all about the Show and Tell from our ...

niet helemaal scherp maar hij keek zo recht in de camera...

een nieuwsgierig jong, bijna op het punt van uitvliegen denk ik. Hij keek nauwlettend naar de camera.

Jammer dat de nestrand zo besmeurd is, dat ziet er iet zo smakelijk uit, maar ja zo gaat dat nou eenmaal...

Our highs have been in the 80's and 90's, but on Sunday night our first winter storm blew in and we hit our Monday high of 38° at 1 a.m. The temps dropped from there with wind, rain, sleet, snow, and ice. I know it's not a big deal for a lot of ya'll, but we don't see this very often here in the desert and certainly not from one day to the next in October. Even the Bird of Paradise blooms in the

 I had time to dig into some scraps again and this is the result - another Wisdom block and the last 3 Ohio Star blocks needed for a finished top.

Hello, friends, and happy Thursday! Thanks so much for stopping by for the Labor of Love Sampler Block 5 post. This week’s block is one of my favorites in the quilt. It takes a little time to make as shown, but I also have a simplified method for this one that will go together much […]

The post Labor of Love Sampler Block 5 appeared first on A Quilting Life.

Just popping in with a quick update. I have something new in the shop and I am really loving it. Recently I opened an account and started carrying Northcott Fabrics. In case you were not aware, they make tons of fun panels. I don’t use a whole lot of panels but my customers have shown me the light. Some of them are really cute and make for a fun, quick finish.

Thinking of holiday gifts, I thought this would be a great one to have in the shop. With the panel, a bit of lining and some Insul Bright ...

About the only thing that got done yesterday was that I got my next yellow block cut out and it is ready to sew today Most of the picking apart of the quilted border is done and will finish up soon – I might not even have to remark this border!! the lines show up […]

Oh, Dear!! I’ve done the one thing I have myself written to other bloggers about when they are no shows. For some reason, I just...

Total blocks - So far - For my Sakura Churn Dash -    Two are sewn together -  And the rest are in sets waiting for "centers" - I used the left over strips to cut "singles" for six more blocks -    And had enough left to cut 60 "centers" - And still had some extra -    Along with some bits and pieces -  I love how easy it is to use my LEFT-EZE™ Rule -  To cut the HST and "bars" for my Sakura

Das war mein Ziel am Quiltwochenende, einen Babyquilt für den Sohn meiner Freundin.

My goal for this weekend was to make a babyquilt for the son of my friend.

 

I was gone on Saturday and came home to a bunch of emails.  Many of them are of finished Community Quilts.  YAHOO!!

These are from Karen.  She writes:

“This is the last of the bunch ready for their debut.    I have two more ready to be photographed, two more to bind and photograph, and two more to quilt from the Cresco Quilters.

This one also pieced by the Cresco Quilters.  I call these Big Jolly Bars, because Fat Quarter Shop has a 5X10 pre-cut called Jolly Bars.  I know these aren’t but neither are they squares.
