What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

The row I was working on Saturday night was almost finished before I went to bed but not quite –  I finished the yellow star area and then the brown squares but not the newsprint area – I picked up there Sunday night and then rolled it down and started on the left side again. […]

Finally totally finished – well I thought it was finished until I hung it and then decided it needs more loops on the top to hang nice and straight – a little sagging here and there – it can be fixed and not hard to do I will try to get to it this week.  […]

My quilt Alaska will be next to finish and that means borders to make it bed size.  I had already had a 4 inch border around it with a light color but when I took it out yesterday I realized that what I had was way too ruffled and had to come off.  I knew […]

A Charming County Christmas basically looks the same as yesterday but now it has the final border sewed down and it is pressed.  Binding in the red is cut out and ready to go in the box with the top until it is time to quilt it – should be end of May or June […]

Ok, I cut strips of the two neutrals and I’m putting a series of photos up here so you can see what I am working with – lets get some more opinions please? #1 this fabric has been used in a few places in the sashing. close up of the neutral #1 with this shot […]

The last masks that I was working on were finished up first thing in the morning and Melanie stopped by on her lunch hour and informed me she might need more – oh no! I thought I was done – what could I say but let me known – I hate those things LOL – […]

Done!  well the binding to do still of course and that will be put off a couple days while I make more face masks now that the CDC is saying yes wear them, family before binding.  I really do not enjoy making masks and I will need to make fabric loops or ties as I […]

Well almost – I did wait for the rain to stop for a couple hours before I got outside for a walk yesterday.  In the morning I was cutting more sashing for the Christmas quilt – I got those pieces pieced and pressed and now the whole thing is ready for sewing – I took […]

It seems very strange to me to be making a Christmas quilt at this time of year – usually I don’t even think about making something for Christmas until October or so and never get done with anything on time (other than a tree skirt a couple years ago) but I spent time cutting sashing […]

Little by little this Christmas quilt will get done!  Really I know I am moving a little slowly on it lately but I do have another quilt waiting in line for the quilting frame when I take the Dresden Garden quilt off in a couple days.  Do you all remember last years RSC19 that I […]

So what have you guys been doing?  Ha-ha – we all know what we all have been doing, staying at home, working on projects, cleaning the house(?), reading, knitting, crochet, taking walks – nothing has changed right? Today I actually cleaned house in the morning – it was over due I just couldn’t get into […]

With being at home all the time now other than getting out for a walk of which we didn’t yesterday because of rain the days are kind of staying the same and I have to look at a clock we have to see which day of the week it is or the computer – no […]

Yesterday even though I was very tired I got back into the sewing room groove and had progress.   A Charming Country Christmas block – laid out in the morning Sewed in the afternoon Two left to do – I can make my OMG I am sure More knitting on the sweater – a couple more […]

The face masks are done and sent off in the mail and I thought I would get more done in the sewing room with them gone and then didn’t!  It was another day of texting in my very large family.  I almost feel the need to shut my phone off but I can’t because this […]

I am finding myself a bit distracted these days – how about you?  Off and on all day I am making masks and in the evening I quilt.  In between making face masks I am working outside and taking walks. Dresden Garden – this end done on Tuesday night and rolled down (I have to […]

How do you get a short little hand quilting needle out of your quilt if it breaks off on you!  Well I must say I do have some experience with this over the years – It takes a little patience but I have never not gotten one out. The photo above makes the little hand […]

yesterday did not go well for face masks! for me anyway.  Some of you might have had luck with the pattern I shared for this – I didn’t.  I have modified the pattern somewhat and hope to get more made today – yesterday was practice, fix and try again.  What can I say – I […]

A little more work was done on Dresden Garden – ok more than a little for the time I spent on it.  This quilt is coming along really well.  It will not be done by the end of the month but maybe by mid April? A close up of the center. This is how the […]

Believe it not I am starting a new quilt – like I really need to start a new quilt but this is a mystery follow along with Edyta Sitar – I like her quilts usually and just thought it would be fun in this new age of staying home so start something new – here […]

Edited at 9:16 am — I didn’t realize until one reader mentioned it that I didn’t schedule the time right on my blog for it to post and that it hadn’t gone out early as usual – fixed that!  I always write my post in the evening and schedule for the morning. Only 3 more […]
