What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

White.

Piecing.......vintage white, white trim, white couture fabcric snippets. 

These pieces will be embroidered with white....bullion knots, French knots, tiny running stitches. 

I intended to create a short video...ha.

It's 17 minutes long but you can skip through it.

(Sorry for my absence...again. I have had facial surgery. It kept me quiet for a while x)

Good morning, my friends. I'm just home from a nice breakfast with Sue. Aside from that, not much has happened this morning. There hasn't even been time for slow-stitching. As I write, I'm waiting for Mike to drink a cup of coffee, and then we'll head off to the grocery store. We're eating dinner out tonight, but the afternoon will be my own. No plans except doing whatever I want to do.

So let's back up to yesterday, shall we? It was a luxuriously slow day. Not having to sandwich any more quilts put ...

Good morning, my friends. It gives me great pleasure to announce that all the quilt sandwiches are finished. It feels as if I've been given a new lease on life. There were just four more to finish yesterday. First up was The Story of My Day.

And, finally, happily, the recently finished Land & Sea quilt.

They're all stacked up in the sewing room now. There are 16 pictured here.

And then, the Merry, Merry Snowmen are teed up on ...

Good morning, my friends. I managed to get five more quilts sandwiched yesterday, bringing my total to 13. And you're all familiar with the term "baker's dozen," right? But just in case that's an American thing, I'll just say that a baker's dozen is a dozen plus a bonus of one. And I figure, why should bakers have all the fun? If I've got 13 quilts sandwiched, then I'm calling it a "Quilter's Dozen," and I'll fight anyone who says I can't co-opt that term. (Gazes menacingly around the empty ...

Thank you all who identified this border below as Prairie Points...what a sweet name and, of course, I had to look that up. Turns out there are tons of video tutorials showing how to make this. How did I not know about it till now?? It looks really intricate but makes such a unique border. Here is what I'm talking about in case you missed it. 

Good morning, my friends. We're back to sunshine this morning. We're expecting temps in the 70's today, and even a day in the 80's by this weekend. It's going to be good weather for making quilt sandwiches. That won't start until tomorrow. I've been anticipating it long enough that I'm ready to get started. As I've mentioned, my goal is to do four per day until they're finished. If there's time for other sewing, I'll work on finishing off the small quilts I made while we were traveling ...

Good morning, my friends. The sky has turned a little gloomy both yesterday and today. It works for me because it's a grocery shopping day. We were just there last week, and so our list is relatively short. Also today, I need to feed our hungry birds. I know they're hungry because they can empty our feeders in two days. Also, it's that time of year when I need to remind myself to water the flower pots. I'll check on those while I'm out and water them as needed.

This morning, I had to go down and cut batting and backing to take to Colleen this afternoon. 

I was out the door and at moms about 10 minutes late. Sandy from Ocean Shores beat me to moms. We had a good visit with everyone. I was working on my rose piece. Mom and Georgie were asking about the quilts they are working on and are almost done with.
