What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It's still dark outside as I write this, and so I can't tell what the weather is going to be like today. The forecast calls for rain, but the weatherman continues to insist that we'll get three warmer drier days starting tomorrow. Fingers crossed because I really want to get outside and do some weeding.

After writing yesterday's post, I stitched the Tiny Heart for Day 20 of our stitch-along. This one has chain stitch, straight stitch, and cross stitch.

Good morning, my friends, and Happy President's Day. It's another wet morning here at the Three Cats Ranch. We've been promised some drier, warmer weather later in the week. I sure hope so. It would be good to get out and pull some weeds before we take off on our trip. 

Yesterday morning, I spent quite some time trying to generate an image I could use for Project Quilting's fourth challenge: "Hourglass." We could go off in any direction with this, but we were required to use the hourglass shape in our quilt. I had an ...

Good morning, my friends. I suppose "wrest" is an improper use of the word, but you know me. There's no sense in passing up a good opportunity for wordplay. Life is short. But I did take the day off from quilting yesterday. My wrist was bothering me just a little, and I knew quilting would make it worse. Instead, I took my cues from Smitty. He always gives me good advice.

Good morning, my friends. As I look out my window, there's some fog, but we're expecting a day of sunshine that will extend for the next several days. It'll be Mike's golden opportunity to finally finish off the trailer brakes. The poor man has been working on them for weeks, as weather permits. He's down to the last possible problem, and then they should be in proper working order. I'll be glad to know it's all finished since this is the sort of thing that bubbles up in the background of my feeble ...

Good morning my friends. It's time to reveal my quilt for the "Patterns in Nature" prompt. My quilt was inspired by the Northern Leopard Frogs we encountered while hiking in Fort Ransom State Park in North Dakota. This is my original photograph. You can see more pictures from our hike at that link I've given you.

Good morning, my friends. As I'm writing this, I have some Baked Apple-Blueberry Oatmeal in the toaster oven. It's one of my favorite breakfasts. I've had a Granny Smith apple rolling around in my vegetable crisper for a couple of weeks. It seemed as good a way to use it as any. I only bring this up because I might need to leave for a bit to go eat my breakfast, and I don't want to be rude. Come on over and join us, if you like. There's plenty.

Good morning, my friends. For all the promise of yesterday morning, more cold air moved in yesterday, and freezing rain fell for hours. It's a crystalline world outside right now. We don't expect this to melt off any time soon, putting our carpet installation in jeopardy again. Just this morning we were considering calling to postpone a few more days. Fortunately, it doesn't seem they're overrun with business in January (ya' think?), and so it shouldn't be too long.

Here's what it looks like outside right now:

Good morning, my friends. Our snow isn't lasting long. It's a slushy, patchy, wet mess outside, having rained overnight. Unfortunately, we're heading into a very cold snowy few days this weekend, with a possibility of freezing rain on Tuesday. Since that's the day our carpet installation is supposed to happen, it looks as if we're going to be delayed. For not too long, I hope, but we'll just have to wait and see. We're continuing with our efforts at getting ready for it. I love a good period of chaos and pandemonium, don ...

Good morning, my friends. We've had several wet days here, and we have at least another wet one before we see the sunshine again. Nevertheless, our local weatherman told us we've had the warmest December on record for our part of the world. Our weatherman of many years is a skier, and he's bemoaning the lack of snow in the mountains. Of course, snow in the mountains is important for reasons beyond skiing. The clearing clouds made for an interesting sky yesterday morning.

Good morning, my friends. There wasn't much on yesterday's agenda, and yet, I still managed to sit around in my pajamas until nearly noon. I was all set to don my workout apparel when I realized that one of the places we wanted to visit on our spring trip was too far from where we were staying. It took me about an hour to make the adjustments needed...changing reservations, figuring out alternatives, making new reservations. The place we're wanting to see, Chiricahua National Monument, is in a remote area of Arizona...nearly right on the border ...
