What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

First a crown falls out of my mouth – the same one that did 4 months ago – luckily I quickly realized what I was almost biting down on and retrieved it – dental appointment this morning!  Then about an hour later I was at the sewing machine – machine quilting my toddler quilt – […]

I should have gotten done with more yesterday then I did but for some reason I don’t seem to have done much of anything.  I did beat the heat and got out to the grocery store and home before it hit 90!  That is hard to do lately isn’t it – I have been watching […]

The toddler quilt top is finished and I will probably try to get it machine quilted next week.  It is 52 x 52 inches  linking to Small Quilts and Doll Quilts — A close up of some of the fabric – these were all in a Tula Pink fat quarter bundle that I got last […]

And it pretty much has me staying inside lately – I just can’t take the humidity – can I say this early in summer that I am longing for the cooler days of fall?  For three nights in a row we had thunderstorms giving us 3/4’s of an inch each night and then the temperature […]

Progress!  I have enough blocks left to do one more row each direction which would make the quilt about 51” square – I have enough fabric left to cut and make more – now to decide if I want to! These blocks were made yesterday And added to the wall Court Jester from Thursday night […]

Little by little – (if I spent less time reading) this toddler quilt will get done!  All the 9 patch are sewn and pressed  – now they all need to be cut in four and sewed back together. Linking to Wendy’s Quilts and More — From Bolt to Beauty — The last two rows of […]

I did get to the sewing machine yesterday for a bit to get started on making a bunch of nine patch blocks – after I am done with them all I will press and then cut each into four pieces and mix them up.  I lay strips of 3 out and try to mix and […]

How long have I been making Marinara sauce now to can? I have lost track – I know it really hasn’t been more than about 2- 3 weeks but it feels like months. I know have 30 jars and that is it I have reached my limit.  I’m not sure how many more tomatoes I […]

All of the strips for the toddler quilt are cut into squares now and the machine is put away – ready to sew Quilting on Court Jester from Friday night.  A little more than usual got done One more long strip attached to Noriko’s Star linking to Kate’s Life in Pieces, Cynthia’s Quilting is More […]

Yesterday morning first thing I put more tomatoes in the crockpot for the Marinara Sauce – while it was simmering away I was able to sit and sew and got all the blocks done that I had cut out – now today I need to cut more strips and cut the squares with the Accuquilt.  […]

Yesterday we celebrated the 4th at home by ourselves.  We had no plans and it was pretty much just another day for us.  Grass was cut, regular jobs around the house and I got down to work on the toddler quilt. I made a bunch of 9 patch blocks and got them cut in half […]

Yesterday I started to work on the toddle scrappy quilt – well scrappy in a way – the fabric line is a bunch of fat quarters that were in a bundle – so they are coordinated but yet this is a scrappy quilt if you know what I mean. I am cutting one strip to […]

I finished the binding yesterday and got the  doll quilt washed and dried and pleased to say it only shrunk an inch on all sides – it is now 23×23 inches nice size for baby or doll.  Linking to From Bolt to Beauty — Wendy’s Quilts and More — It was another hot one although […]

The binding on the doll quilt was put on now to do the hand stitching – it shouldn’t take real long it is small.  I don’t usually pin the whole thing in place I don’t know why I did this time but it is now ready to work on. The section I was working on […]

I really don’t care for machine quilting but I can do it.  I do not do free motion I have tried a couple times and the back of the project always looks horrible so I stick with straight lines or a wavy line that I can set on the machine and that is what I […]

I decided to get my fabric ready for the disappearing nine patch toddle quilt – I still have the doll quilt to finish up but I needed a change – these creases were so bad – I have had the fabric bundle for over a year without opening it so I thought washing it would […]

I really need to get the doll quilt finished and then move on to the toddler quilt and get that one done but I find I did nothing but look at fabric and designs. I am thinking of a one block repeat for the toddler quilt and pulled out the fabric bundles that I have […]
