Helpful hint from Happy Cottage Quilter

 Organizing is not an easy topic for me. But I wanted to share something that helped me keep track of my basing pins.

I was looking for something inexpensive and I found this little plastic container at the Dollar Tree.


Not bad for $1.25.

Happy Quilting!

Hot and steamy..................... from Exuberant Color


We went from 3 days of pleasant weather to tropical humidity and 88 degrees yesterday.  My energy level was low so I decided to start sewing 9 patches out of the 1.5" squares.  There are 20 nine patches and it doesn't look like I have used any squares yet.


I didn't want to turn on the iron so the little blocks are curling.  I started out with all of the fabrics that had at least 5 dark squares and 4 light squares alike.  Now I'll be switching to random groups to make more blocks.





There are ...

Design Wall Monday - July 27, 2026 from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

 Good Morning Quilters!

My report of quilting work this week involves only the small Jane Stickle doll quilt that I am cross stitching.  But I have made great progress on it!  I only have 9 blocks left to cross stitch before the top is finished and I can make it into a doll quilt.  Here is a progress picture:



What have you been working on?  Please join our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below and show us your pictures and a link to your blog post.  Thanks to all who participate.  You are a blessing to me, and I enjoy ...

...More Cake Stand Blocks from Podunk Pretties

A few more blocks, not as many as I hoped, but some is better than none. Each one of these little blocks made me smile as I stitched them together ... so many memories in each fabric.

 

The ones with piecing errors gave me a much needed chuckle.  I may fix them and I many not.  This quilt when finished is going to be busy.  A couple mistakes scattered about are like Easter Eggs, hard to find.  They would add a little character and whimsy. 


44 more blocks to go.  It would be nice to get them finished this week and ...

Weekend Wrap Up from Quarter-Inch Capers

The weekend really went by at warp speed. I think that’s what happens when you are busy. Not much sewing, although I did finish all my potato chip blocks and started putting the top together. I also sewed some jar openers for our craft sale. 





I got 22 done. That’s probably enough. It will have to be enough as I don’t plan to make more.

We started vacation Bible school at church yesterday. Ours is in the evenings so parents and children can all attend. There are classes for each age group including the adults. We serve ...

What I’m Working On: July 27, 2026 from Jo's Country Junction

I did not get much time in the sewing room this week. I got up there several days, but a couple of them were for scooting out for things to put on the garage sale. I told you that few things were sacred when it comes to the garage sale. I did get up there …

Psalm 14:2, Fiber Fun, Literary Life: Liar's Dice, Finding Joy in Journaling from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

 Hello There!
Thank you for stopping in for a visit! I skipped posting last week—life happens, right?—but I ended up accomplishing twice as much on my goals - for the blog and behind the scenes.  The rain here has been beautiful, leaving our desert plants looking fresh.  My husband and son were away on an overnight trip, and while I enjoyed a quiet morning for studying and writing, the house felt a bit too lonely without them. I was so glad when they returned!

Take good care and, as Daddy used to say, 
"Make memories; it's later than ...

Getting Ready For Vacation from Quilting My Way

 Today, I was working on laundry and getting ready for our trip. I wanted to work on my "bead starter strip" that can be used to start beading projects. I wanted to get it done so that I could take it with me as well. It's a white and black strip so that I can use either side. Depending on the color bead I start with. 

I was playing games and moving. Between household stuff to do before going and getting ready, it kept me pretty busy. I even picked out beads for the bracelet I plan to make ...

Week 30 of 2026 from Thread Head

This week I made a few things -

I sewed a woven t-shirt with some fabric I was given (maybe a viscose linen blend).
I modified the Sydney Designer Dress by Style Arc pattern for the top. It is the top, bodice/sleeves section elongated to make a t-shirt. I added an elastic at the bottom, along with a little "tie" on the side. I have made this top a couple of times before, and find it nice to wear.
Finished weaving some tea towels. I had put a simple, bright warp on the loom for the summer - the easiest kind ...

Another Month Mostly Gone from The Quilting Reader's Garden

Well, July is mostly gone now. It has been hot most of the time, and I mean Hot (hottest - 106 just last Wednesday). I don't do well in the heat. I had a deep brain stroke that wiped out a part of my pituitary gland that regulates body temperature. Now if it goes hotter than 86 or lower than 60, man I feel it. For heat I get dizzy and nauseous. I have to go to a cool room and and just lay

Slow Sunday Stitching from Eagle's Wings Quilts

 My cute little skunk is almost finished. Actually, the skunk itself is finished. It’s the background stuff that is left. The bottom row of the house remains, and then there are a couple of trees to do. I’ve already ordered the flosses for the next set of three animals and then these will be all done. I’ll have to pull out some unfinished pieces once these are all finished. But that’s quite a while away yet, with each animal taking anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks to finish. I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow ...

Saturday Sparks Link Party 727 from Pieced Pastimes

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 727!

Starting off today's party with an admirer of sunsets!


You may recall our shy groundhog who loved a good sunset.

This turkey seems to have taken up the hobby as well.

Enjoy the view, my fine feathered friend.

FYI - the haziness is from the Canadian wildfires.

"Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn."

Christmas Cookie Mat for Santa from From My Carolina Home

We had to have one small project that used embroidery! With a leftover Santa panel, I made a cute little cookie plate mat for Santa’s treats on Christmas eve. Do you believe in the magic of Christmas? Here we go!

Find a cute sentiment and stitch it on your embroidery machine. If you don’t have one, you can stitch out a sentiment by hand by simply writing the words on a piece of fabric with a pigma pen, then stitching over your lines.

For my project, I used one of the Santa panels left over from the Quilted ...
