Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday. All sewing, all the time, with a little bit of baking thrown in for good measure. What could be better than that? Well...maybe winning the lottery, but first one must actually play the lottery.
Finishing off the stitching for the small Catmint piece was at the top of my list. This will still need borders, quilting, and binding. I have some cute fabrics to finish it off.

Good morning, my friends. When I wrote yesterday's post, I completely forgot it was the day a new prompt would be announced for the Project Quilting challenge. Late morning, after I'd done as much quilting as I'd planned for the day, I checked my email, and there it was. The challenge this time around is "Ombre."
Well that threw me. I spent a good part of my afternoon sewing time gnashing my teeth about what I could do for this. My initial reaction was to skip this one, but then I get a bad case of the ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. It was a good day of sewing yesterday. I've taken two projects to the next step in the process. Of course, no day of sewing is complete without first spending some time with my slow-stitching in the morning. I'm nearing a finish of the Catmint piece.

This year has been a record-breaker for me—156 books read, with 25 earning a perfect 5-star rating. Hours spent researching new releases, rediscovering classics, following recommendations, and tackling my ever-growing TBR list paid off with an incredible collection of memorable … Continue reading
read moreGood morning, my friends, although we're almost to lunch time. I think I can still avoid breaking any laws with my "good morning" wishes. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I had breakfast with my friend Sue this morning and passed off the baby quilt for her new grandson.
Of course, I wasn't out this early, but the day started with a pretty red sunrise.

Good morning, my friends. We're still chilly here, with overnight temperatures in the 20's and daytime temp's in the 30's. We're expecting a change when the rain starts up again this weekend, but next week is looking sunny and a little warmer. We've been cold because of the east wind coming out of the Columbia Gorge, where it's always among the coldest places in the state.
It was a stay-at-home day for me. Aside from doing a little housework and taking a walk on the treadmill, it was all sewing, all the time ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. It's hard to know what to say or where to start. To start, I'll tell you about how my day went yesterday. Like most Americans it was hard for me to concentrate on much of anything, but I managed to get in a little bit of time in the sewing room. Enough happened there to cause me to decide to return to Plan A with the "Mosaic" quilt. For now, I'll tell you about what I learned and how I'll proceed. At the end, I'll say something about the way forward ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. When we chatted yesterday, I thought we might get a decent day of weather. Before I could even finish my slow-stitching, it was raining again, and it rained most of the day. Today is looking more promising. I'm wanting to get outside and cut back the dahlias. It's time for them to move to the garage. (My dahlias are planted in pots.) It's looking as if today's weather might be more cooperative.
And, well, rainy days are good sewing days. Of course, nothing could happen until I finished off January's block ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. How is everyone doing out there? Many of us here in the USA are sitting on pins and needles waiting for our election season to end. Without diving into the political divide, I'll just say that I, for one, am glad to be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And I have lots of tunnels to use as examples. Here's one now...

Good morning, my friends. Yes, I'm working on "phinishing" Phenology, but it isn't phinished yet. I just couldn't resist using those words. I'll tell you about my progress in a minute, but first, I wanted you to see the view from my window as I'm writing. We're still enjoying lots of fall color in our part of the world.
