What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. We had a little let-up from the rain yesterday. By afternoon, the sun was shining and we had a blue sky...a welcome sight. We were out in our hot tub last night, and we could see stars for the first time in many nights. This morning, the sun is shining, and there isn't a cloud in the sky. For sure, I'm going to get outside and cut back that last dahlia today. I might have done it yesterday while I was out filling the bird feeders. But there was a drizzle falling, and ...

Good morning, my friends. What a nice day we had yesterday. For whatever reason, it felt less hurried than usual. I finished one project, and I'm on the cusp of finishing another. Possibly the lack of projects half finished made it seem less busy. 

Of course, I have lots of projects half finished, but I take them in stages. When I'm talking about "projects," I'm meaning whatever stage it happens to be in currently. Take the Barnyard quilt as an example. I made the blocks one per month. When they were all finished, it went to the ...

Good morning, my friends. Our window guy is coming today. It's been over a year since he's been here. With all the dust stirred up when Mike mowed our overgrown field recently, the windows can use some work. Our "window guy," Scott has been washing our windows since 1990. He's kind of like family. Still...I'd like to be dressed and showered when he gets here. It'll be nice to have clean windows.

Yesterday's slow-stitching had me finishing up the 11th of 12 blocks for Grandpa's Bridges.

Good morning, my friends. It's dark as I'm writing, although it's well after sunrise. Clouds moved in last night, and it rained a little this morning. We're told we could get about a half inch of rain, which would be great. After several hot days in a row, a good wetting down would work wonders for the landscape and green things up.

I was lazy again yesterday. My only excuse is that I'm still recovering from our trip. On a positive note, I actually did a little housework yesterday...emphasis on "little" part of that ...

Good morning, my friends. We had a cooler day of weather yesterday, although it was still plenty warm. It finally started to cool off in earnest after the sun set. We were able to open the windows when we went to bed, which made for a better night's sleep.

Earlier in the day, I made good on my threat to get out and cut back the rose bush and a half-dead azalea. The rose was easy enough. If we'd been home, I'd have been pruning it all along, and so it needed a haircut badly. The azalea ...

Good morning, my friends. Our drive wasn't particularly long yesterday, but it was made longer by the crappy roads we were traveling. It was a beautiful day though, and we drove through some of the more spectacular mountain vistas we've seen in Alaska. This morning, we find ourselves in Valdez.

Good morning, my friends. It's our last morning in Fairbanks. We'll be heading to Cantwell, Alaska, next, where we're told we'll have the best views of Denali. The weather is looking a little iffy over the three days we'll be in the area. Also, smoke from Canada's wildfires (I'm so sorry, Canada) has drifted to our part of the world. I guess we'll see what we'll see and be happy to have seen it.

For now, let's talk about the wildlife sanctuary visit from yesterday. It was a peaceful and ...

Good morning, my friends. Thank goodness it's Sewturday. We had a wonderful dinner with the kids last night...good weather...good company...good food. Good all around. We've planned another get-together for Mother's Day with Erik and Mae next weekend. On Monday, Matthew and I have a date to find Virgil Earp's grave at a local cemetery. I know...I'm weird that way, but I really want to find it and see it. I wrote about this a while back. You can read my reason for wanting to visit right here, and scroll down.
