What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast today because I need to leave in about two hours to meet up with Matthew. I'll tell you what we're doing in a minute, but I want to add that I'm also writing fast because not much happened here yesterday. My morning started as usual, taking the first stitches on Block 6 for "Home is Where My Flock Is." I neglected to take a picture before moving my hoop, and so some of the stitching is outside the hoop on the left.

I haven't yet decided if the front of this little pillow is finished. 

The white space is asking should I add web stitches there.

Whilst I decide I have pinned the reverse with ribbon and prairie points.

These will be secured with more hand embroidered French knots.

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday's sewing had me finishing up the assignment for two of my projects. My morning started with finishing Tiny Treasure #60. This one has stem stitch, satin stitch, straight stitch, and lazy daisy.

There are just 12 more to finish, and then I'll be ready to sew them into a quilt. I have an idea for this, and I'm excited to get started on it.

Good morning, my friends. We were in and out of the grocery store in less than half an hour yesterday. It left plenty of time in the day for getting the rest of my to-do's to-done, and there was plenty of time for sewing too. Before we left, I stitched up Tiny Treasure #59. This one has satin stitch, stem stitch, lazy daisy, backstitch, and straight stitch.

Good morning, my friends. Often, a day gets away from me, and the time passes more quickly than I thought it would, leaving me with some of my goals unaccomplished at the end of the day. Yesterday was kind of the opposite. I kept thinking it was later than it was. It meant I was able to get a lot done. Don't be impressed. None of it was very exciting, but it's always good to have crossed off all the items on my list at the end of the day.

In my last post about this hand embroidered artist book I mentioned how the next stage would be to back each page.

That is happening now and I am about to create a front and back cover, again from delicate stitched papers. 

I demonstrate the backing process in the video today.

In the video I also show a glimpse of the embellishment on each page, pages created by first stitching delicate tissue papers and tearing them to create surfaces for hand embroidery.

Good morning, my friends. Before we go even one word further, I feel I must point out that today is

As expected, I had almost no time for sewing yesterday. I managed to stitch Tiny Treasure #57. This one has stem stitch, stem fill, lazy daisy, and French knots.

Good morning, my friends. Today comes the "find out" part of my recent FAFO actions. (Google it, if you don't know.) It's the day I go to court over my recent speeding ticket. There's no whining or making excuses on my part. I'm just hoping for a reduction in the fine if I throw myself on the mercy of the court. What form do you think this should take? Should I writhe on the ground for a while? Would kicking and screaming be ill-advised? Probably I should wait and read the room before making any rash ...

I made a decision on which ribbon to use after this post.

French knots and prairie points have been added and the next step? more ribbon?

I'm not sure.

I am tempted to add web stitches to the space around the patchwork motifs but that's as far as my thinking has gone. 

(this piece will be a pillow, a gift.....I hope they like it)

Good morning, my friends. The Summer Solstice is still a couple of weeks away, but it sure felt like summer yesterday. I took time in the morning to stitch Tiny Treasure #55. This one has stem stitch, stem fill, basketweave stitch, and straight stitch.

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to June. Today is the 24th anniversary of the founding of the Three Cats Ranch. We moved into our home on June 1, 2002, bringing with us this crew for whom the place is named. If you've been reading a long time, you'll remember George and Gracie. You won't remember Krissy, the tortie bringing up the rear. She was a memorable kitty, and she lived to be 19. She lived with us longer than either of our boys.

Do you remember this post?

I was marking and cutting out patchwork pieces for a new project. 

This is where I am now with that embroidery/patchwork.

Two floral patchwork pieces have been attached to one side of a silk dupion panel and now it's decision time for ribbon/trim to lie alongside that.

More embellishment will be added to the right hand side of the panel once the ribbon has been secured with hand stitch.
