What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

The rest of my fabric that I ordered arrived – 8 yards of Moda Marble Black – if you have never used Moda Marbles let me tell you it is a good fabric to use as a background – the black is especially nice as it is not a solid slate of black but has […]

I really got busy yesterday and finished up the purple blocks I will share this again on Saturday for the link up but here is a photo of all blocks done lined up  – I have four more to make and then the sashing and nine patch cornerstones – right now for cornerstones and sashing […]

Finally I sat down and got two blocks cut out for my RSC20 Country Charmer quilt and actually finished one!  it’s about time huh.  I will make the second one today which I laid out so you could see the color. The finished one. Some of the blocks  have a white star in the middle […]

Two hurricanes clashing to the shore one after another – one of them will head up to Arkansas from the way it is looking – maybe by Thursday? if the predictions are right we are in for some rain – how much remains to be seen – possibly up to 5+ inches – we don’t […]

Yesterday was a bit of a clean up day – I had accumulated a small pile of scraps and wanted to get them out of the way before I got busy doing anything this upcoming week – have to clean things up a bit Some 2.5 inch squares were added to the box of pre-cuts […]

Little by little I am trying to get my mojo for sewing back – I just took a break for awhile – yesterday I finished up a face mask that I had started awhile ago and I needed to do something different with one of the loops it wasn’t fitting right. I found these little […]

I brought the hexagons outside yesterday morning – it was so nice I actually had the windows open until early afternoon before the A/C came back on – I will love it when I can leave the windows open all the time again. The first two rows are now put together Late in the day […]

It was so nice yesterday – 83 for a high and very low humidity – I started my day out with cutting grass and found the most amazing fungi – I’m really not sure what you call this – it isn’t  a mushroom but fungi of some sort.  It was beautiful I had to stop […]

I can see the center of Alaska so well now – not there yet but I will be slightly reaching into the center of the quilt on this round now that I rolled the quilt down on Monday night. Here is my center star Right now I am working on the left hand side in […]

No hexies were done yesterday and  I am still in my no sewing machine mood – I know I will get back to all but right now I just don’t feel like it!  I know we all go through slumps and for me it usually happens in the summer when we are about to go […]

It was a hot day yesterday but low humidity so I enjoyed more porch time than usually after I took care of the plants in the morning – watering had to be done – maybe I won’t need to do that every day this week seeing as the humidity will be much lower? I finished […]

I know we all have days like that and lately in a way it seems to happen more often.  I just have not been in a mood to sit at the sewing machine and actually dreams of applique have been running through my head – but I know how that goes! I will not go […]

Yes a little quilting and a little thread basting and a bit of walking. Alaska had a little more done – hard to show progress from a little work every evening but a little more And this much thread basted for a new side diamond piece for Lucy After I pruned the tomatoes they grew […]

I really haven’t been doing much sewing lately – machine sewing that is – I’m not even sure when I sat at the machine last to work on the pineapple blocks – I will get back to it – I do intend to finish that up. Yesterday though I got one corner of Lucy hand […]

I have done as much as I am going to for now on the sweater without making a collar – I have plenty of yarn so if I want to add that next week I will – but next up is pockets and tack the cuffs in place as they keep falling down.  The crocheted […]

The hexie quilt continues to take shape and I will continue going all around I think down the left side after I get the next half hexie done and do a corner next to see it take shape – purple was the color chosen for Sunday – I will need to see what colors I […]

Well not really magic but getting in those pieces at the top just makes the whole quilt come together like magic – in a way!  Because this is a much smaller piece than the whole diamond it only takes about an hour to stitch them once they are basted – I will try to work […]

Last night when watching the news I got another half hexie thread basted – and I hope to get it stitched today and maybe make up another one  – because they are smaller they do go together faster!  Lucy will be done before you know it – LOL – not really there are a lot […]

Barely anything to post here – I have been caught up in a good new book.  I rarely splurge for new books anymore but there are a few authors still when I buy the kindle version as soon as it comes out and Karen Slaughter is one of my favorites.  The last two days I […]

Has begun!  This one piece makes it a step closer to being called done for Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds – but it will take a little while to accomplish that – but one piece of the border makes it closer to a complete rectangle. As you can see from the cut off on […]
