What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Yesterday was one of those days where not much got done.  We were out a good part of the late afternoon early evening at the movies.  We hadn’t gone to a movie in a long time.  I had heard of quite a few of you mentioning you had seen the newest Indiana Jones movie and […]

 I bought a large crochet hook years ago with the idea that I would use it and fabric strips to crochet a rug. You can see it in the photo below at the top right of the photo. Fast forward about 10 years, I found the unopened crochet hook! I decided it was time to give this a try. Instead of using scraps I decided to use a fun batik fabric from my shop. I got two yards, ripped it into 1" strips, made the fabric yarn and started crocheting. Well, two yards doesn't go very far!

I decided to get my fabric ready for the disappearing nine patch toddle quilt – I still have the doll quilt to finish up but I needed a change – these creases were so bad – I have had the fabric bundle for over a year without opening it so I thought washing it would […]

Yesterday I got done with the section I was working on for Noriko’s Star outside before it got too hot I joined it to the triangle section that I got done with a couple weeks ago And got that section added to the top – major progress – next up I will work on one […]

 Camp Stitching 

Feathered Friends 

The Stitching Inspector 

It was a nice day – started out with picking strawberries – I believe this basket is a little bigger than a quart – but not positive I don’t remember a label ever being on it to say what size it is  – we had some lovely strawberry shortcake with some of them and some […]

I think I now have 14 or 15 more blocks to piece for the Hunter’s Star – I was going to do two blocks and almost did – I started on the second and then got side tracked – you know how that goes.  You can see the second one started there on the table […]

I was lazy off my feet yesterday doing a lot of sitting but not sewing at the machine – I will get back to work good on Hunter’s Star next week.   Melanie is feeling a little better and she and Ric will be at the house while we are gone to housesit and have quite […]

What did I do? When I sat down to write this last night I was reviewing my day in my head thinking “just what the heck did I do” not much I felt in the sewing area but I did get a few things done besides deciding it was time to put the walking boot […]

The Arkansas Traveler is done and in the “to be quilted” box.  It is nice to finish this one up I started it early last year in January with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge group.  I wasn’t able to climb up on a tall stool to take a photo right now because of the walking boot […]

I hope everyone has a nice day – if you celebrate Easter with family or something special have a great time.  We don’t do much special but family here and will do pasta and shrimp! yes not your usual Easter fare but sounds good to me – and cake!  I made a Hummingbird Cake which […]

So happy for being rewarded and becoming Top Seller!!

Today for Slow Sunday Stitching I will work on my various projects – I haven’t touched the hexies in several days so I might get those out as well although I hadn’t cut anymore – I will need to soon go through colors and get more cut.  But for now I will continue on the […]

Binding is made for Rainbow Crossings and the intention is to do the machine stitching to the front and then work on the hand stitching for the next week or so to get it done. Ready to stitch linking to My Quilt Infatuation – I did get the batting pieced that was left over from […]

Crochet can be such a great hobby and with some extra helpful tips – you can finish the crochet project you start. Here’s how you can start a crochet chain.

It is a little bit of mindless work. That is the reason I like it. I can sit in front of the t.v. or hang out with the kids at the park and have a little something to keep my fingers busy.

There is a little bit of counting and if you are following a pattern you do need to pay attention to a few things, but really it ...

One more section done and being attached.  I was asked if this top is heavy – I guess because of the papers?  I take the papers out as I join sections so the only paper in it is around the edges so I don’t find it any heavier than any other quilt this size and […]

One day it is 40 degrees and two days later 78, humid and so humid in the house I put the A/C on in the evening to chase the humidity out!  crazy. I said I was going to take a couple days away from the sewing machine and I didn’t touch it other to make […]
