What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday. During the presidential campaign, I was amused when Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania said, "My team is guided by three letters every single day: G-S-D." And, if you missed that, he spelled it out..."Getting sh*t done." When I can cross everything off a day's to-do list, I announce it to Mike: "I got sh*t done today." Admittedly, I didn't start sewing together the Merry, Merry Snowmen yesterday, but I got a lot of other stuff done.

First, I finished off My Embroidered Garden.

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy sewing day yesterday. I managed to finish off my "Motion" challenge, and then I had time to quilt the first row of the Whimsical Garden quilt.

My sewing started with embroidery, as always. But then I moved to hand-stitching the binding for the "Motion" project. It was a small quilt, but I'm sure it was easier to stitch with the help of my trusty stitching cat.

In short order, my quilt was finished. Here's your final peek ...

Good morning, my friends. How are y'all doing this morning? It rained for a good part of the day yesterday. By afternoon, the clouds cleared off, and there was blue sky and sunshine. It was nice because Mike wanted to go out for dinner. After being cooped up inside for the past two days trying not to drown, we were both approaching a serious case of cabin fever. Then, when I awakened this morning, rain was coming down in buckets again. Possibly it was the last gasp of the atmospheric river that passed through because as I'm writing ...

Good morning, my friends. Yeesh. It rained the whole live-long day yesterday. By day's end, we'd accumulated a full inch. We're expecting more of the same today. We're told today's weather will bring us less rain, but more wind. Fingers crossed we don't lose power. This is typical weather in our area in October. We generally get a big wind storm around Columbus Day. Historically, a big wind storm did a lot of damage in Portland in 1962, and it's still referred to as the Columbus Day Storm. We've had a pretty ...

Good morning, my friends. It's dark and foggy this morning, just as it was yesterday morning. It ooks as if we're into this gray world for another couple of days. We should have planted our daffodils last week when the sun was still shining. I'll tell you this: it makes Smitty very unhappy. He'd be out hunting small mammals. Instead, he's relegated to the woodbox sheltered by the eaves.

With his help, I ...

Good morning, my friends. Before I could do anything else yesterday morning, I had to fix that dratted block for the Kittens in Teacups quilt. It was bothering me even though we were in separate rooms. 

And then, I decided to move my hoop to the right to encompass the rest of the opening to the bridge. Where so many lines intersect, I like to do all the lines ...

Good morning, my friends. It was the worst possible morning in cat land. It was raining...hard...and Smitty was relegated to the sheltered part of his catio.

My morning was spent finishing off Block 7 of the Raggedy & Friends project. I'll set this aside until I'm ready to piece together the block.

Good morning, my friends. The promised rain has finally arrived. With a few breaks, it's been raining fairly steadily for hours. It started while we were asleep, and now it's beginning to look like a typical Oregon winter. Of course, winter is not even close, but we're getting a glimpse into the future today. 

Thankfully, I was able to get out and do some weeding yesterday. I pulled up or "mussed up" some of the smaller weeds, and then whacked back my enormous sage plant to about one-third its size. I love the fresh sage, but the ...
