What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends! And Yay! We're home early enough that I can still say "good morning." We've done our grocery shopping already today. I'm hoping I won't need to go back before we reach our final destination in southern California, but that's probably not realistic. Still...I'm hopeful. Without checking today's to-do list, I think grocery shopping was the only thing on today's list. If that's the case, I can spend the rest of the day sewing. Probably, I'll take a nap too.

So my yesterday started with me ...

Good morning, my friends. We're expecting a drenching downpour today. The forecast is for three inches of rain over the next 12 hours. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, a big wind blew through the night before. With so much rain ahead of a big wind, it meant a lot of downed trees in our area...none where we live, fortunately, but we've had our share in previous storms. I believe the wind has died down now. Our forecast shows rain every day for the next week. I'd say it's time to get outta Dodge ...

Good morning, my friends. Well, I can't lie...it was good to sit down at the machine yesterday and do some real sewing. I had a lot going on yesterday, and so I didn't have much time in the sewing room. Still, it was good to be doing something that required a needle and thread rather than a ruler and a rotary cutter.

When I finished yesterday's post, I happened to glance out the window to see the raindrops on the tree outside sparkling like diamonds in the sunshine. Just seeing the sunshine was a huge mood-booster ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a foggy morning here at the Three Cats Ranch. I'm heading out later today to meet up with Matthew. We've been trying to get together at least once per month. He lives on the other side of the river, and so we're about an hour's distance apart. You might recall when we went walking and had a tea party a couple of months back. The day started out rainy, but then cleared in the afternoon, and it was lovely. 

Pretty days like that have been few and far between, and ...

Good morning, my friends. The title of this post probably sounds more ominous than it should. I really only mean it's the beginning of the end of the year. December 1st. It's all downhill from here. When we reach the bottom, it'll be 2026. To this blogger born in the 1950's it has me thinking I've entered some kind of futuristic sci-fi novel. The good news is that I'm the one writing the story...for now, at least.

It was a productive day yesterday. I managed to force myself into getting in a Bowflex ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday. As I've mentioned previously, I almost always have some sort of housekeeping chore on the day's to-do list. Usually, I can move things around and do some of those chores on a different day. That’s not going to work between now and Thursday. We'll have eight for dinner, and so I must finish everything if I am to be ready. And all of that to say there wasn't a lot of time for sewing.

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 ...
