What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It gives me great pleasure to announce the end of my Wednesday treks to PT. It also gives me great pleasure to say that my shoulder is nearly pain free. And who among us doesn't have some ache or pain somewhere in their body? I'm hopeful that I can eventually put this annoyance behind me completely. For now, I'll just say it feels better on the days when I do my exercises. That alone will motivate me to keep doing them. Nevertheless, I'm happy not to be making that drive to the ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a good day yesterday. Everything on my list was completed. I was tired by the end of the day, and so I didn't get any time in the sewing room. Maybe today I'll be more motivated. After taking a walk on the treadmill yesterday, I took a little walk around outside. Each day I'm checking the water on the little seed pots. I'm happy to announce that there are sprouts in every pot except one.

Good morning, my friends. It was good to have a relatively "normal" day here yesterday. There was no going anywhere. We had leftovers for dinner, so there was mostly no cooking. Of course, I checked in on the seedlings in the greenhouse, but the day was mostly reserved for sewing. I'll have to get a little busier today. The bird feeders are all empty. I'll have to check in on the seedlings every day now. Oh...and the peonies are just about to burst open. I've noticed color on the Lavender Whisper peony...it's the one ...

Good morning, my friends. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. We have three birthdays in a single week, followed by Mother's Day. With PT in the mix, it has me feeling as if I've been on the run. (No wonder I got a speeding ticket.) Mainly, I'm just doing things not a part of my usual routine. Next week, Mike will have a cataract surgery on Wednesday, and so I have just a few days to enjoy a relatively normal schedule.

Good morning, my friends. It gives me great pleasure to announce that all the quilt sandwiches are finished. It feels as if I've been given a new lease on life. There were just four more to finish yesterday. First up was The Story of My Day.

And, finally, happily, the recently finished Land & Sea quilt.

They're all stacked up in the sewing room now. There are 16 pictured here.

And then, the Merry, Merry Snowmen are teed up on ...

Good morning, my friends, and Happy May Day to you!

May Day is made more special here at the Three Cats Ranch because it's also our DIL Mae's birthday. Happy Birthday, Mae!

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy morning yesterday. There were several items on my to-do list, and so it was late in the day before I was able to get any sewing done. Today will be much the same, but I think I can swing an earlier start.

Yesterday's sewing goal was to at least get a start on the first of two blocks for the Northern Wilderness project. I'm making blocks 9 and 10. These are the blocks I've made so far:

Good morning, my friends. It was such a pretty day yesterday, and unexpectedly warm. My usual morning routine was still intact, though. I took the first stitches on the ninth block for the Snowmen and Reindeer. I stitched their faces first so that we could chat while I stitched the rest of their bodies. (Doesn’t everyone do that?)

Good morning, my friends. It's a sunny day today, but don't let that sunshine and clear sky fool you. It's very cold out. Looking at the day's forecast, we won't even break into the low 50's until later this afternoon. There was a frost warning last night, but it didn't get that cold. My flowering plants and trees were thankful for that.

Thanks to those of you who wished me well for my first day of physical therapy yesterday. It went fine. I've been given a series of isometric exercises to do ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a good and tiring day yesterday. As I mentioned, my friend Sue and I walked across a newly-opened pedestrian bridge in the neighboring community of Sherwood yesterday. We started on the far side of the bridge and walked across to where the new high school is located.

And then we walked back to where we started and headed on down the road to find the historic part of Sherwood.
