Good morning, my friends. It was a busy sewing day yesterday. I managed to finish off my "Motion" challenge, and then I had time to quilt the first row of the Whimsical Garden quilt.
My sewing started with embroidery, as always. But then I moved to hand-stitching the binding for the "Motion" project. It was a small quilt, but I'm sure it was easier to stitch with the help of my trusty stitching cat.

Good morning, my friends. Our weatherman has been right about the forecast. We had a couple of reasonably nice days Tuesday and Wednesday, but the rain has returned today. We're expecting a wet weekend. That's Oregon for you. If there's anything you can count on here, it's rain in winter.
We were late getting off to the grocery store yesterday. That meant I didn't get into the sewing room until nearly 3:00 p.m. Despite my late start, I was able to get my challenge quilt to binding stage. As I mentioned yesterday, I ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday. All the items on my to-do list were checked off. I've been working at procrastinating less. You might say I'm procrastinating on my procrastination. It feels good to have everything finished at the end of the day, but it cuts into my sewing time. Nevertheless, I started my "Motion" project yesterday, and I was able to get farther along than expected. I was so involved in the process that I neglected to take any pictures until the end of the day. Here's your peek:

Good morning, my friends. It was a mostly sunny day yesterday. Like us, the kitties were suffering from cabin fever after so many days of heavy rain. They were champing at the bit to get outside.

Good morning, my friends. What a nice day we had yesterday. For whatever reason, it felt less hurried than usual. I finished one project, and I'm on the cusp of finishing another. Possibly the lack of projects half finished made it seem less busy.
Of course, I have lots of projects half finished, but I take them in stages. When I'm talking about "projects," I'm meaning whatever stage it happens to be in currently. Take the Barnyard quilt as an example. I made the blocks one per month. When they were all finished, it went to the ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. Our weather is still dry. Happily, Mike finished his caulking job yesterday, and so we're safe there. Nevertheless, we had another red-sky morning. It was hazy yesterday. At least today we can see the mountains.

Another finish. I finished a quilt last summer which I started about 15 years ago. This UFO was from a guild brown bag block challenge. I selected fabrics for the challenge and placed them in a brown paper bag. Each month, our group exchanged bags, rotating through each member. While I stitched blocks for other […]
read moreGood morning, my friends. It's another Monday. Happily, it'll be a mostly-sewing day for me. I took the weekend off from doing any workouts, but I'll need to get back to that today. Aside from that, it will be NBS for me.
As expected, I didn't get much sewing done yesterday, but I finished my "Circus" piece. It now has a space on the wall of my sewing room. Here's a peek for you.

Good morning, my friends. It was a good day of sewing yesterday. I was able to finish off the Circus piece. It just needs the binding hand-sewn now. Today's sewing will probably be mostly hand-sewing, although I'm going to make good on my threat to sew the Kittens blocks into a finished quilt top.

Good morning, my friends. Yes, I said "sowing," not "sewing." Even though it's Sewturday, I'm going to say something about sowing. We had a busy day yesterday. It started out slow enough when I started with the March block for A Year in the Garden. As usual, I was simply using up the partially used bits of floss from the last time I worked on this project.

Good morning, my friends. We have a couple of nice weather days going on right now. The temperatures have warmed considerably, which is very much appreciated. It was a good day for sewing with bright sunshine streaming in through the windows. I started my sewing day taking the first stitches on the third of three blocks for "S" is for Sew. (There are nine blocks in all, but I'm only doing the first three for now.)
