What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. Well, you knew I couldn't leave without flapping my lips one more time, didn't you? Actually, I couldn't leave without taking the last sewing pictures off my camera. Who knows what might happen if my sewing pictures and camping pictures were left to mingle on the same memory card for several days? I hate to even think about it. Well. Worry no more because here they are.

The day was mostly spent cooking. I made Frozen Breakfast Burritos, Overnight Lasagna (I make half and assemble it in a 8 x 8 baking dish ...

Good morning, my friends. We actually saw some blue sky yesterday afternoon. The rain let up late in the day, and we hoped we were through the worst of it. Then, I heard it raining last night. Still, I think we'll get some relief today, and the forecast is still looking good for our camping trip next week. Wouldn't that be something? As I mentioned to my friend Kate this morning, I don't think we've ever been to Cape Disappointment when it wasn't raining. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay? There's ...

Good morning, my friends. It was another day of almost no sewing yesterday. I'm afraid it's the season for busy things to happen. We spent the morning running errands...stopping at the post office, taking our donations to Goodwill, unloading recycling at the recycling depot, and finishing it off with a short grocery shopping trip. We were just at the grocery store a few days ago, but I needed to get some make-ahead stuff for next week. Now we're probably free to live our lives grocery-shopping-free for at least another ten days or so. And let me ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday. I accomplished everything on my list except for the housekeeping chores. Housekeeping takes a back seat to the fun stuff. Maybe I'll get at it today. Maybe I won't. Last night, I was a tired pup. It seemed like a good idea to give myself a day off today. After sleeping it off, I'm ready to get back at it this morning.

As for yesterday's comings and goings, I went to work first thing to bake the Cranberry Ecstasy Bars. They aren't hard to make ...

I got one more block done for NYB and it was an easy one even if you don’t think so!  This block is called “Fruit Bat” So lets see what is an Australian Fruit Bat?  I found that they are also called Flying Fox and this group are the Gray Head Flying Fox The wall […]

Good morning, my friends. My day started slow yesterday. I slept in later than usual, and so I was already behind on my agenda items before I even got out of bed. Fortunately, I had my invaluable stitching cat with me to help get the day moving along.

I couldn't quite fit the bottom corner in my hoop. While we watched the news, I did a little more stitching at the top. That allowed me to encompass the lower right ...

Good morning, my friends, and a Dandy December to you. Let's send 2023 out with a bang, shall we? Next year will be the interminable campaign here in the United States, and I'm afraid it's about to get ugly. But let's not talk about that, okay? Let's talk about kitties. 

Sadie was my helper cat in the sewing room yesterday. They like that I've given them their own quilt to use when we're sewing.

Good morning, my friends. It was a grocery shopping day yesterday. We were late out of the starting gate and so it was after lunch before we were home again. And after a harrowing trip to the grocery store, naps are a requirement in order to fully recover. We indulged. And that didn't leave much time for sewing. Also, I decided to do some baking, and so there was even less time.

 This morning I enjoyed sleeping in. Patrick slept in longer than me. lol He was going golfing around 11 am today. As for me, I wasn't sure what I was going to do. 

After he was up and moving, I went downstairs to get the heater going. I decided I would spend a couple hours down there to work on the quilt on the wall. 

I had my ideas on the wall. I needed to work on how I was going to do this. So, I started sewing the blocks together. I also sewed a few of the bag ...

Good morning, my friends. It seems yesterday was my day for effing up everything I touched. You might remember my pedicure appointment was rescheduled from last week. It was written on my calendar at the right time (11:00 a.m.), but my brain still had it at the original time of 1:00 p.m. And since my brain told me I knew exactly what I was supposed to be doing, I just whiled away the morning, relaxing, slow-stitching, 

taking my sweet time. Then, I got a text from my pedicurist: "Are you close?" Holy sh*t. It was ...

Good morning, my friends. The sun is just rising as I'm writing this. It's still fairly dark outside. Our sunset yesterday was around 4:30 p.m., and the days are only getting shorter. It's been bright and sunny, but too cold to be comfortable outside. I'm getting my monthly pedicure today, and it's always a question about what to wear on my lower half on pedicure days. Today might see me wearing loose sweat pants. Also, I have a vague recollection of bumping into something somewhere sometime. Whatever happened has long since left my ...
