What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It was a little chilly here yesterday, but sunny and bright. We decided to get out for a walk around the area neighboring the RV park. It's good that we did because it's raining today. It rained hard most of the night and the wind was blowing. It make sleep difficult, but we were able to sleep in a little later than usual this morning.

For our walk, we headed first to see if we could find where the off-roaders were leaving the park. Apparently, one can take an OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) out into the desert and ...

We’re thrilled to be included in the blog hop to show you a brand new book by our friend Cinzia White, called Dazzling New York Beauty Sampler. There are 54 different blocks in this stunning quilt, which is absolutely a masterpiece! Isn’t it simply amazing? For our stop on the tour, we chose to make […]

So, eine der Übungen für Samnaun für die Quiltwoche (click) habe ich vorbereitet und hoffe, dass sie euch dann genau so Spass macht wie mir. Am liebsten hätte ich davon noch mehr Blöcke genäht, aber ich habe ja noch anderes mit den Workshopteilnehmerinnen vor.

Well, one of the exercises for Samnaun for the quilting week (click) is prepared and ready and I hope that you then also will have so much fun with it as I did. It was so fun to sew that I didn't want to stop and would have loved to sew more blocks but I ...

I never did find the laser light I bought or the one from Texas so I ordered more. That is one thing Boots will play with for about 3 minutes, then he reaches out and tries to grab it with his paw but doesn’t chase it. If I stop for 5 minutes, he’ll chase it...

Hello quilting friends! Last October I shared sneak peek photos of another winter quilt I was working on, a Christmas version of my Star Watch pattern featuring fabrics by Deb Strain (Moda). This festive quilt is now complete, and yesterday I took several photos to share with you.

My daughter was home this weekend and commented that she hoped this quilt was for her, as she really loved the striking black and red, the buffalo checks and plaids, and the deer head motif. The traditional holiday elements have a slightly contemporary feeling thanks to that color combination, we decided. Sadly ...

I'm still working on Grassy Creek, but there were a couple of things  I needed sooner rather than later. ⏰

Floral Baby 40" x 54"

Floral Baby (backing and binding detail)

It wasn't a great day for photos, but I need to wash and mail this baby quilt.

"Dancing on Air"

I took on the Project Quilting challenge this year, at       

We have a prompt, this time to fussy cut, each time and one week to complete it! I have a Mary Englebreit collection of fabrics,

and I wanted another mantle quilt for February (Valentine's day) so Dancing on Air was made!

 I went to a two day "sleep in your own bed" retreat this weekend. It has been awhile that I have had a chance to just keep after a chosen project. I had this snoopy quilt that just needed a few blocks and assembly. I think this will be a great quilt for a new Grandson coming in May. I need to find a back and give it a good press.

This quilt has been months in the making.  Rarely do I say that, but this one took a while to complete.  In the summer of 2020, we took the boys to Fishers to catch Pokemon.  This is my first time publicly admitting I play Pokemon Go.  While we were out, I ran across this building […]

Sometimes a project comes along and you just have to do a double take.  That is the case with this stunning idea from National Quilter’s Circle.  How to Make Quilted Bracelets not only includes instructions for the bracelet, but also for making necklaces and the fabric gemstones that adorn the pieces.

Fabric jewelry is always unique, even more so when you make it yourself.  Your creations will always be the center of attention every time you wear them.

This tutorial is done in two parts, how to pick out the fabric for your piece and how to make the ...

It may not be a good marriage for long! Vince has been assuring me that he will be here by mid-March. Last night we were talking and I said something about “after you get here in March” and he said “I may not be moving there by March but if not, I can come back...

You can look up any day of the year and see what the phase of the moon will be. Plan your outdoor dinner party to coincide with a full moon. (Won't that be nice!) 

This calendar is a nice combination of art and science, and a useful decoration. 

Amelia is very artistic. Here she is ...

To keep the MWM momentum going as we prepare for the next series, we decided to give a weekly glimpse into the lives of our designers each week. No kits or supplies are needed, just sit back and get to know them better by enjoying some of their most recent creative escapades…

This week we check in with Sheryl Johnson of Temecula Quilt Co. She’s been hard at work, taking inspiration from the past, with her usual eggs-cellent results…

“I have been busy cooking up a special recipe with a rich history. Shirtings were a fashion necessity in the ...

As a general rule I don’t cover hot topics in this part of my quilting world. Hot topics were reserved for the magazine blog & social media spaces. Then someone of note in the industry said/did something that not only did I disagree with it was in fact demeaning and demoralizing. I wrote this Op… Continue reading Holding Space

Quilted Joy’s next sessions of the APQS Beginning Longarm Class and the Introduction to Custom Quilting Class are on February 12 and February 13 respectively.
