What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I forgot to post my all of my blocks together for the Country Charmer I was going to do that yesterday but I will today instead.  Nine months of blocks done – I wonder what color October will bring and that will make the remaining blocks I need for the Country Charmer – then it […]

It felt so good outside yesterday I had to run to the store and got in a walk outside a little at the shopping area walking outside along the sidewalk for awhile besides being outside at home.  Still have some flowers going good here – little zinnia’s from last years flowers that seeded – such […]

The tomatoes just ripen so fast the last couple days it was amazing – I decided to do one more batch of Marinara Sauce – recipe is on the top tool bar to the right –  this time I changed it up a little and instead of doing the boiling water bath to loosen the […]

Can’t believe it is the middle of September already – this weekend will be fall like temperatures finally and in the mid 70’s and 50’s at night – of course it isn’t supposed to last real long but it is a sign of what is to come – less warm days in the 80’s and […]

I thought it was about time to get the block off the cutting table that I had cut several days ago and get it off the table – so both red blocks are now done for August – way earlier than the last couple months when I was getting them done just a couple days […]

Finally – it seemed like it took awhile to stitch this longest row on to the body of the quilt and it did because I didn’t work every day at it –  it’s all downhill from here and should go faster. I have outlined in white where the next row is – I put it […]

Well lazy in the sewing room – not much done there – but I was outside cutting grass, pulling some weeks, deadheading, and reading on the porch.  I decided to hold off on making the Marinara sauce for a day or two as the tomatoes are ripening so fast the last couple days I thought […]

Nothing like having a variety to work on – a little of everything this weekend.  First up another RSC Country Charmer block is ready to work on Alaska continues to move along My crochet blanket is moving along – this is going to be a large one – large lap size when done – I […]

The longest row of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is nearing an end – I think one or two more stitching sessions will have it completed. A close up of what is left to work on. And some progress on the RSC Country Charmer blocks – one red block done one to go Tomatoes […]

I decided that the next two blocks for Country Charmer (RSC) even though I already made two red blocks will be red again.  I have the first one ready to sew today. I took Lucy in the Sky outside yesterday to stitch while enjoying he nice weather – it stayed cloudy most of the day […]

Even though we were not home for part of the day on Wednesday I did get most of the long row of diamonds put together – I need to select the hexies for the corner and get that one made and attach it and the row will be ready to stitch together. A little more […]

We were gone for a bit today for Mike’s eye surgery so I didn’t spend any time quilting or sewing or anything – instead I am reading another book! Eve Dallas #51 I think came out – JD Robb’s new book – I always order these as I tend to like to reread a series […]

I was lucky yesterday and the wifi worked all day! that is a first for some days now.  Melanie came over yesterday and we were visiting on the porch – and I got a lot of diamonds pieced into a long strip – not quite enough to finish off the row and I will need […]

I didn’t really do a lot yesterday but read!  someone recommended this book to me – I don’t remember who as I have had it on my kindle for some time and just got around to reading it this weekend – it is called The Giver of Stars by JoJo Moyes and it is about […]

One moment it is connected then it isn’t, then it is – we have a guy coming out on Friday to check it over and see what is going on with this.  For now I have a signal so I am getting my post ready for Sunday morning – but will I do the link […]

EDITED:  our modem is new but now our internet is not working well – Mike has been on the phone and on line chat and they will not have a technician out until Friday to fix the line – a lot of the servicemen are in Louisiana due to the hurricane last week.  I will […]

How can it be September 1st already!! It doesn’t seem possible but this year of staying home which should have been dragging by instead seems to be flying by. Slow and steady wins the race right – actually this isn’t a race but I do want Alaska done and on my bed for the holidays […]

I know I said I was going to crochet this new short sleeve T-Shirt sweater but then I undid it all and decided to knit it instead – I need more practice and seeing as the yarn was on a really good sale it won’t be much of a waste if it doesn’t turn out.  […]

It got hot so fast yesterday I was outside for a little bit working on the side diamond hexie and wow the wind picked up fast the temperature dropped from 96 to 81 (I was instead after it hit 86) looks like we have on and off storms through Thursday!  And then nice weather!! I’m […]

yesterday we managed to avoid most of the storm – the hurricane came into Arkansas as a Tropical Storm with tropical force winds in the southern part of the state but it started to curve to the east ahead of our area in the west central area of the state so we escaped the wrath […]
