What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I love the stories of people's post op knee surgery! I love that people are PREPARED for the recovery and their reduced mobility. That's what I call sanity!! Good luck with the recoveries - I know there are two of you who very recently had knee replacements! Probably about a week apart! 

My two presentations for today are done! I need to stop tweaking them! My brain just goes on and on, not stopping as I dream up more examples and do more research to help the students. I can only hope that they watch the presentation, get inspired ...

Red is one of favorite colors, so it was definitely fun sewing this week again.

The "catnip" block with red kitties was a priority this week.  Every time I look at these blocks I just have to smile. So cute and whimsical. 

Give It a Whirl blocks are adding up.  With the addition of these 2 red ones there are 36.  Because they are only 8" finished, I'll need a few more yet to make a decent size quilt.

Hollow-9 blocks are adding up too.  I was digging deep in the 2.5" square bin to find red.  Last ...

You might remember I was working on a quilt called Train Tracks. I had planned on making it bigger, thus more blocks…but then, after the blocks were made, I decided to add a border instead. Here is that quilt… That quilt is still a top…I need to get it on the longarm. I had an …

Quilt Finish: Train Tracks Leftovers Read More »

 This morning, I was sleeping in. I had gone to bed early last night. I must have slept a good 10 hours. It isn't my norm. 

When I got up, I got laundry going and then came into the computer room to work on a few things. I had to send a letter to a veteran to see if he was still interested in getting his quilt. Then I had to rework the application form as well as our Help Needed flyer. 

Then I sat and played my game for a bit. Patrick was home after getting soaked golfing ...

It’s been a month since Arnie and I broke up. It’s given me a lot of time to think. I’ve heard all of the people who think my family is great, and I don’t need a man in my life. They have a point. I do have a great family, and they could keep me …

 We had lots of finishes yesterday. Marg was the binding queen and managed to get 4 quilts bound. Obviously, we do them entirely by machine. Janet also bound one yesterday, for a total of 5 finishes in one afternoon. Yay us!!! I think I’ve posted pictures of these quilts before, but this is them in their finished glory. I also remembered to get a picture of the garden themed quilt that Tammy has been working on. It is so pretty that we are seriously considering adding this to our fundraising this summer. And here at home I was working ...

Good morning, my friends. All of my to-do's were crossed off yesterday, including walking on the treadmill and the one housekeeping chore on my list. Yay me! 

Once the meat and potatoes part of my day was complete, I could move on to dessert. There was lots of time for sewing. Fortunately, my purrtector cat was on the job, keeping an eye out for any invading forces from the north.

 I had this pinned on a Pinterest board and made it yesterdayMonterey Chicken SpaghettiI printed out the recipe because I strongly dislike cooking from recipes on my phone and warning...I almost didn't try this because the pop up ads were ridiculous. It gave me a headache just trying to read the recipe.This was a big hit though. Even little E loved it and 4-yr olds can be very leary of new

I wrote about being inspired by the colors of opal gemstones in this post. This was my color inspiration:

I pulled a palette of aqua, orange and yellow along with white-based low volume prints with a lot of color in them. This is what I ended up with, for a baby quilt.

The blocks are small, 6", and the top finished at 36 by 42", so I'll be able to use one WOF for backing if I quilt it on my domestic machine. I have a lot of small to medium ...
