What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It's another hazy day today, and expected to get fairly warm. We ran our A/C yesterday, but we were able to turn it off and open the windows when we went to bed last night. I'm hopeful it won't get as hot as it was earlier in the month. 

There was a lot on yesterday's to-do list. Fortunately, most of it was finished up with my morning running around town. I'd missed my slow-stitching before leaving home, and so I started there after lunch, filling my hoop and moving to ...

Book review! The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the past and present trends that will shape the future, such as globalization, technology, and demographic shifts. Attali argues that these trends will continue to accelerate and intertwine, creating a world that is more interconnected, diverse, and unequal. The second part of the book explores different scenarios for the future, ranging from dystopian visions of environmental collapse and social breakdown to optimistic visions of a post-scarcity society in which technology has eliminated poverty and inequality. Attali emphasizes that the future is not predetermined and that different choices ...

Good morning, my friends. We were without power for 21 hours yesterday. It's the longest power outage in my memory. What an exceedingly boring day! Fortunately, I had a fully-charged headlamp, and so I could spend most of my day on hand embroidery. But let me tell you...even for someone like me, obsessed with hand embroidery, it gets old after a while. Besides, previously broken thumbs begin to grumble after a couple of hours. Nevertheless, I was able to finish up the Winter Wonder piece.

It isn't really finished because it should still have a tiny quilt ...

Good morning, my friends, and Happy Tuesday! Things are looking up here snow-wise. It's 35°F and raining! Yay! That snow can't linger much longer under those conditions. (As I'm proof-reading just prior to publishing this post, snow is falling again. Boo!)

It was an NBS day for me yesterday. After my slow stitching, I went straight to work quilting leaves. Today, I'll start the final round. Yesterday's progress might be described as the Day of Echoing Lines. I began with this spiralizer that started at the tip of the skinny leaf.

Good morning, my friends! Things are looking up weather wise. For the first time in about a week, I can say there was no new snow yesterday. And...bonus...the temperature was above freezing when we awakened this morning. I think we might escape snowpocalypse 2023 by the skin of our teeth.

Happy Hump Day, my friends. It's a laundry day here. We'll save our favorite task...grocery shopping...until tomorrow. The good times just keep rolling here at the Three Cats Ranch. 

Yesterday, I met up with my friend Sue at the South Store Cafe. It was a pretty day. I was trying to remember the last time we'd been here, and I believe it was pre-pandemic. In the meantime, they made a few little changes by adding more tables and rearranging the counter where orders are taken. They make good oatmeal here, and let's face it ...

Good morning, my friends! It's a sunny day here at the Three Cats Ranch. We're expecting sunshine this whole week. It will be a welcome relief from the darkness that has enveloped us for the past several days. I expect I'll be able to get outside for a walk in the next day or two. After my slip and fall last week, however, I'll wait for the pavement to dry. It's sunny, but it's cold.

My biggest news from yesterday is that I declared victory over my current nemesis project, Calendula Patterdrip's Cottage ...
