What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. A lot was accomplished sewing wise yesterday. Possibly the Lemurs used up my supply of sewing mojo, and I needed a break from sewing for a day or two. Yesterday saw me picking up the pace again. First, I finished January's block for Pieces of the Heart.

It seems like a long time since I did any notebook stitching.

I came across this page yesterday and I'm tempted to continue where I left off here.

There are also new plans for patchwork, an idea I have for a new surface.

Too many ideas, too little time.

Good morning, my friends. A little more was accomplished here at the Three Cats Ranch yesterday. Have you noticed how there haven't been any pictures of cats lately? I blame them for the lack of progress on things. They've been outside a lot with this nice weather. Clearly, they have not developed a reliable work ethic. Oh well. We soldier on, don't we?

My first stop was in the kitchen to bake some zucchini bread to take to our neighbors. There are almost as many zucchini bread recipes in my collection as I have zucchini. Think of ...

Good morning, my friends. It was an unplanned day of no sewing. There was time for sewing, but I think I just needed a day off from it. Every time I thought about walking to the machine, I didn’t. I'll get back to it today. The only sewing I did yesterday was to make a little more progress on the cat for the Pieces of the Heart project.

It's an old one today, Guilloche stitch.

Some of you may not have seen this video.....it's from 2018! 

I was so much younger then ha ha.

I think some of you will enjoy this, it's a lovely stitch.

There is a short video here so you can make your own minds up.

Good morning, my friends. It was another mostly sewing day. We'll make up for all that sewing time today. It's a grocery shopping day, and we have a couple of other errands to run as well. Nevertheless, having a few days to focus on sewing has felt like a little mini vacation.

The morning started with the first stitches on Pieces of the Heart. This is going to stitch up pretty fast, I think.

Good morning, my friends. It was nice to have a day mostly devoted to sewing yesterday. There was progress on several fronts. For one thing, I finished up the 12th of 12 blocks for A Year in the Garden.

Good morning, my friends. It was a very busy morning yesterday. Since I hadn’t checked the garden the day before, I really needed to do that. One of the zucchinis had gotten away from me. It wasn’t a true giant yet, but another day going undiscovered and it might have been truly humongous. There were two or three more normal sized ones that I added to the pile already in the fridge. Also, I found another half dozen pickling cucumbers. I’m still a pound short of the four pounds I need for a batch of pickles.

Pink gingham, patterned fabric, sheer white dotted Swiss, floral patchwork motifs, a new drawstring pouch in progress.

There are four more floral patchwork pieces to add to this surface and white fabric cords to be made for the gingham channels.

This will then be lined and a drawstring added at the opening.

You probably won't see it again until it's finished. 

Wish me luck!

Good morning, my friends. No more progress was made on the lemurs yesterday. I spent most of the day on my kitchen projects. By the time I could get to my sewing, I just wanted to sit and stitch on the quilt binding until it was finished. It took of most of the remainder of the afternoon, but eventually, I'd turned all four corners.

Earlier in the day, I canned five pints of zucchini relish. There's still one jar left from a previous relish canning adventure, and ...

These samples have been languishing for quite some time.

Patchwork motifs mounted on painted silk backgrounds.

My intention was to create a little silk book with these, the painted area being the page background. 

I have another eight or so patchwork motifs that do not have painted pages though and in all honesty I can't face painting more silk.

So, strips of Liberty fabric forming mounts...that was the brainwave. 

They will be smaller than shown here when they are finished as I intend to turn the edges, mitre the corners and neaten them.

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday ended up being a less hectic day than expected. We left for the grocery store a little later than I’d hoped. Originally, I’d planned to start some chili and bake some cornbread when we got home. But then, we decided while doing our shopping we’d just get a pizza from Papa Murphy’s on the way home. Pizza. It saves lives.

Before we left, I had time to take the first stitches on December’s block for A Year in the Garden. Mainly, I was just using the leftover bits from the ...
