What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning I slept in late! I don't know what is going on with me. I just want to stay in bed and sleep lately. I finally got my butt out of bed at 9:30 am. I hate that because the day is half gone by then. 

I found I wasn't in the mood to do anything. I didn't want to work on my beading or much of anything else. I finally got moving and got some laundry in the washer and dryer. I really needed to do something. I did go and pick a small ...

 After finally getting to bed around midnight - 1 am this morning, I found myself waking up through the night. Both mom and Daisy were moving around. We then got up at 6 am to be out the door by 6:50 am. I stopped at McD's and then Starbucks to get us breakfast. Once that was done, then we were on the road to Olympia for Daisy's eye appointment. 

We arrived about 10 mins early for the 8 am appointment. We pulled in lot #6 to find a sign there telling us to call "this number" and wait ...

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’ve had to work to find inspiration and motivation this year. Looking online is not the same as seeing quilts and other projects in person. I don’t see that changing this year, at least not where I live. New times call for new ways.
That said, I finished a couple projects last month and can move on to other things.
The Short List categories are UFO, garment, original design, stitchery, framing, charity and other. I’ve used some form of this system for 6 years to keep me focused. I ...

This morning mom was coming over. I had to get a little move on it this morning. It went good. 

This is week 5 of Jolly July with the final release of Mistletoe Lane! I hope you’ve had another eventful week of stitching too. I have had such a fun and productive month! I’m sad that Jolly July has come to an end but I have so much progress to show for it!

Week 5 of Mistletoe Lane brought me a cute little tree!

For Jolly July this year, I worked on several new projects. Each day I worked on either a new project or a continuation of one I’ve previously started. Some stitchers focus on one ...

This morning I slept in. Didn't want to get up at all. I forced myself to get up at close to 10 am. I rarely sleep that late. I'm usually up by 8 am if not earlier. Not sure what's going on, but it did feel good to sleep in. 

Today started out with going out to pick blueberries. My bigger blueberries will be ready in the next couple weeks. They are about double the size of the ones I've already picked. 

Today turned out to be a good day. I was able to get laundry done and work on a few things as well. 

Today I was up and out the door to moms. I stopped and some something to drink. Then headed to moms. As I was leaving Starbucks I noticed I had  points that were expiring tomorrow. So, I sent Patrick a message and asked him what he wanted from Starbucks. 

This is week 4 of Jolly July with the fourth release of Mistletoe Lane and the latest progress on my new WIP’s! I hope you’ve had another eventful week of stitching too. I have had such a fun and productive month! We still have another Mistletoe Lane release to stitch, so I will be back with the final update Wednesday, August 5!

Week 4 of Mistletoe Lane was a gift! I had a lot of fun stitching these little gifts. Stitching gifts beats wrapping them! If you’d like to join, you still can! Sign up to receive ...

It's not very often, but I was able to enjoy the morning to myself. Patrick went golfing with some friends of his. 

Today Patrick worked outside and I worked on my beading. I'm getting a lot done and going through books on tape really fast. 

This morning I was up at 7 am. I couldn't sleep at all last night. Patrick was having some trouble sleeping too. Maybe because it was so hot last night. I wanted to take a shower at 6:30 am but Patrick didn't like that idea, so went back to bed to see if I could try and sleep again.

After I showered, I went out and picked blueberries. Will probably give them to Phil. It also was a good day to put sheets out on the line. I was able to get a couple laundry loads done ...

This morning I was up and playing games. Then Patrick asked if I wanted to go out for a bike ride. I told him I would rather walk then bike ride or just go for a ride. So, we headed up to Olympia to walk around the Capitol Lake area.

This morning was the one day a week we can't use the computer, tablet or web. The only thing I can used the computer for is blogging or important email.

So, my day started out with working on my beading and getting some laundry going.

This morning I enjoyed sleeping in. I really didn't want to get up, but I made myself get moving. Patrick stayed in bed another hour. 

This is week 3 of Jolly July with the third release of Mistletoe Lane and some progress on my new WIP’s! I hope you’ve had another eventful week of stitching too, but it’s not too late to join if you are just tuning in. You can find inspo and potential projects on our Jolly July Page to get you started.

Week 3 of Mistletoe Lane was a busy one! I think this house is so cute and I took this week to get started on it. If you’d like to join, you still can! Sign up ...

This morning I was ready to bead. Then I decided I needed to print out my genealogy and get them in a book. Well, that got me off on another project and not crafts.

First I needed to post the last of my floss for Brazilian embroidery. I was almost done when Debbie came to pick up her blocks. We talked for awhile.

Then it was back to getting my eBay done. Once all that was done, I cleaned up my email, which then got me off on another trail - genealogy. I pulled out the information, read a few books ...
