What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It was another rainy day yesterday...good sewing weather. I had a lot on my day's to-do list, and so I didn't get as much done in the sewing room as I'd hoped. Still, it was a good day all around. The weather is forecast to be cloudy today, but I think the rain might have moved on. We're expecting a hot weekend ahead with record-breaking temperatures. Mike and I will be camping. I'll say more about that in a minute. For now, let's talk about sweet things.

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast today because I need to leave in about two hours to meet up with Matthew. I'll tell you what we're doing in a minute, but I want to add that I'm also writing fast because not much happened here yesterday. My morning started as usual, taking the first stitches on Block 6 for "Home is Where My Flock Is." I neglected to take a picture before moving my hoop, and so some of the stitching is outside the hoop on the left.

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday's sewing had me finishing up the assignment for two of my projects. My morning started with finishing Tiny Treasure #60. This one has stem stitch, satin stitch, straight stitch, and lazy daisy.

There are just 12 more to finish, and then I'll be ready to sew them into a quilt. I have an idea for this, and I'm excited to get started on it.

Good morning, my friends. Often, a day gets away from me, and the time passes more quickly than I thought it would, leaving me with some of my goals unaccomplished at the end of the day. Yesterday was kind of the opposite. I kept thinking it was later than it was. It meant I was able to get a lot done. Don't be impressed. None of it was very exciting, but it's always good to have crossed off all the items on my list at the end of the day.

Good morning, my friends. The Summer Solstice is still a couple of weeks away, but it sure felt like summer yesterday. I took time in the morning to stitch Tiny Treasure #55. This one has stem stitch, stem fill, basketweave stitch, and straight stitch.

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to June. Today is the 24th anniversary of the founding of the Three Cats Ranch. We moved into our home on June 1, 2002, bringing with us this crew for whom the place is named. If you've been reading a long time, you'll remember George and Gracie. You won't remember Krissy, the tortie bringing up the rear. She was a memorable kitty, and she lived to be 19. She lived with us longer than either of our boys.

Good morning, my friends. It's the last day of May. We're onto June tomorrow. Are you ready? On June 4, 1944, my mom and dad were married. They were married 52 years when she passed away in 1997. Also, my grandfather's birthday was June 14th...Flag Day. (Also the same day as...you know...he who shall not be named.) My grandfather always told me they put the flags out on Flag Day for him. He was a WWI veteran, and so it made complete sense to me.

Good morning, my friends. Sheesh...what an exhausting day we had yesterday. We had a lot of errands to run in the morning in addition to doing our grocery shopping. We got our beloved Egg McMuffins first...mainly to take the sting out of the whole morning's mission. From there, we headed to the recycling depot, then the pharmacy, then the feed store, then the grocery store, then the gas station, then another grocery store (because, weirdly, our regular store doesn't sell canned crab), and finally...the liquor store. I swear the liquor store was always a part ...

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday's outing took less time than expected. We finished with our vaccines a little too early for lunch, and so we ran a couple of errands and then headed for home. Also, we both feel fine after our vaccines. I don't even have a sore arm from it. 

Before we left, I had time to press and photograph the Santa Quartet. These guys will get a border eventually.

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast this morning. Mike and I have appointments for a COVID booster, so we'll be heading out early this morning. Let's just get right to it, shall we?

Knowing rain was coming, I went out early to check on the flowers. The Garden Treasures peony looked pretty much the same as when I looked at it the day before. The Fairy Princess peony was starting to show more of itself.

And that was pretty much all that was going on in the garden ...
