What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Finally got back to the sewing machine.   I have one more row of Y seams done and one more row ready to sew today.  These rows of Flying Pansies are now back up on the wall so I could quilt last night. The last row is pieced but not attached. Some thread basting done on […]

Root Canal’s are nothing like they were in the old days  – I had my dental work done in the morning, it was done in an hour and back home by noon or so.  The numbness wore off fairly quickly – a follow up appointment will be made for the rest of the dental work […]

Very little got done in the house.  I was outside most of the afternoon working on one strawberry bed.  It was so packed and over crowded it too forever to clean it out and separate plants. I really do not know how many strawberry plants I dug out – here is the pile, hundreds? a […]

I got 2 more rows (3 and 4) of blocks sewn into rows but they are not attached to the two rows I did the Y seams on the other day – maybe some today?  I’m not sure what all I am doing at this point although I do want to work in the garden […]

Yesterday I had a bad sinus headache and did no machine work.  I took numerous naps, read, knitted and a little EPP.  I got to thinking that I thought I had bought a layer cake of Kaffe fabric at a quilt show a couple years ago and looked for it and found it – would […]

Some of you have said you wouldn’t make a quilt that needs Y Seams that you think they are too hard to do and they take too much time.  They aren’t that hard to do but yes you do not rush it – you do take your time.    I got started piecing Flying Pansies yesterday.  […]

Yes close to the end of October and we put the A/C back on yesterday  – it got up to 92 degrees and was hot and dry – got hot in the house – two more days of near 90 – I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a prescription and seeing as I was […]

All the pieces are now sewed and appliqued – I’m ready to sew blocks into rows and then the long rows together.  First I went and voted Then after lunch I went outside to work on the garden and got some work done and Mike got another wagon load of mulch ready for me to […]

I went outside intending to put in a lot of work in the garden and just couldn’t after getting the wagon emptied of mulch I could not kneel down on the ground and work on the strawberry bed – maybe today but maybe not until tomorrow – I was just too sore.  I spent the […]

Yesterday a lot got done in the garden – of course now my right hand is aching a bit from arthritis but such is life – you live with it.  Hopefully I can keep up working almost every day in the garden to get it ready for winter.  I have one and a half strawberry […]

I have been showing this one a lot lately I know – I am trying hard to get all the hexagons done so I can piece it all together and get something else on the design wall.  Five of the remaining seven done – They are now sitting in the living room for me to […]

I really didn’t do a lot yesterday.  I did get the 3 Flying Pansies blocks finished that I had started and the circles are now appliqued in place. One more row to do and that will be the final 7 and then 8 half ones  I believe – linking to Patchwork and Quilting — English […]

I like color.  Right now the sewing room is colorful from the table to the design wall to the quilting frame.  Even the thread cabinet is colorful – it inspires you I think. So yesterday I got 3 more flying pansies ready to press and add circles to and that will leave me with 7 […]

Finally the binding on The Carpenter’s Wheel is finished.  At times I felt like I was never going to get done.  I just couldn’t get into binding as I normal can.  I will wash the quilt today and dry and the weather should be fine to take outside photos later today. I will take more […]

I was working outside yesterday so I didn’t get done with a lot of sewing, but some and made a quick bread also. First more binding on The Carpenter’s Wheel was done last night before I got started to quilt.  I think I have about 40 inches left so hopefully I can sit still long […]

The temperature is dropping as I type this thank goodness as it was 90 again for the second day in a row. But windows were open last night and it is cool again –  amazing how that happens.  But we are still in our dry spell – no rain since sometime in the last week […]

As I had mentioned I was out of town part of the day yesterday and it was hot not like a fall day should be at all!  It was roasting at 90 degrees for about all afternoon. That is just too hot for October – in my opinion!! After we got home I spent just […]

I was aching a bit still from working in the garden so no outside work yesterday. Today we are running to Sam’s in the next town over to restock the freezer and I imagine depending on the time we go there will be lunch or supper out and whatever else we think we need when […]

It was a busy day between working outside off and on all day and in the sewing room to get some Pansies done – I was busy. First the Flying Pansies – I got a stack of 5 done over the last couple of days, and got them pressed and circles ready for applique to […]

Work went slowly yesterday in the sewing projects as I have been outside a lot this week – it has been very nice out there and yesterday I began to get plants ready to be brought back in the house.  It might start being a little to chilly for tropical plants to be outside overnight […]
