What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I really didn’t do a lot yesterday.  I did get the 3 Flying Pansies blocks finished that I had started and the circles are now appliqued in place. One more row to do and that will be the final 7 and then 8 half ones  I believe – linking to Patchwork and Quilting — English […]

I like color.  Right now the sewing room is colorful from the table to the design wall to the quilting frame.  Even the thread cabinet is colorful – it inspires you I think. So yesterday I got 3 more flying pansies ready to press and add circles to and that will leave me with 7 […]

The temperature is dropping as I type this thank goodness as it was 90 again for the second day in a row. But windows were open last night and it is cool again –  amazing how that happens.  But we are still in our dry spell – no rain since sometime in the last week […]

I was aching a bit still from working in the garden so no outside work yesterday. Today we are running to Sam’s in the next town over to restock the freezer and I imagine depending on the time we go there will be lunch or supper out and whatever else we think we need when […]

It was a busy day between working outside off and on all day and in the sewing room to get some Pansies done – I was busy. First the Flying Pansies – I got a stack of 5 done over the last couple of days, and got them pressed and circles ready for applique to […]

Work went slowly yesterday in the sewing projects as I have been outside a lot this week – it has been very nice out there and yesterday I began to get plants ready to be brought back in the house.  It might start being a little to chilly for tropical plants to be outside overnight […]

I had errands to run that took up a good chunk of the morning and I was so very tired from a poor nights sleep that I didn’t get done with much yesterday.  I hope all my Florida readers will be doing ok and that those that needed to evacuate didn’t wait until the last […]

I did get some hand work done and two Flying Pansies blocks by machine (I hand applique the circles)  three more rows need and all the side pieces to square up.  Linking to  Monday Musings and Design Wall Monday Quilting on English Ivy from Saturday night – I missed one half circle that I needed […]

I worked on Flying Pansies once again – I didn’t sew as many blocks as I do sometimes but four more got done.  Linking to Life in Pieces – can you get in 15 minutes of stitching a day? Usually I do more but sometimes that is all I do too. After the applique circle […]

Yesterday just flew by with little done in the sewing room.  I was busy with other things – finishing a book started while traveling for one thing that never got finished.    First of all I did get the Carpenter’s Wheel out to finally get to the binding that I never did before we left on […]

I really jumped back into sewing today – after I took the machine somewhat apart cleaning it and getting it to go smoothly a little thread had gotten caught up in the feed dog area and wasn’t flowing smoothly – glad I found the problem. First I appliqued the circles on to the three Flying […]

I didn’t get around to getting in the sewing room until evening.  I was so tire and work up early yesterday after I really could have used more than 8 hours of sleep and barely got 6 so I was dragging a bit.  I did get grocery shopping done and a little clean up on […]

I have not gotten a lot of sewing done while we have been gone – I just haven’t felt like it much but I have gotten one Flying Pansies hand stitched and started a second I mark my seams to keep them straight and quarter inch I have worked on the new knitting project I […]

Yesterday was a busy day as packing has begun for our vacation and I was stitching in between.  I had to decide what to bring to sew or crochet first though – for me that is as important as clothes!  So now that the sewing stuff is put aside I can get laundry done today […]

Yesterday was a hexagon kind of day.  In the morning I got the big Noriko’s Star out and spread it over part of the bed so I could figure out where this section of hexies went and attach it to work on. I got started stitching on it late in the day – the side […]

I always think even if you don’t have time to sit for an hour or two to work on your stitching it’s the 15 minutes here and there that add up.  Yesterday I had some errands to run, like picking up prescriptions that the doctor had faxed in yesterday so I have all I need […]

The Flying Pansies is such a colorful quilt I am enjoying make it.  Three more made yesterday – this is the width of the quilt now.  In the second row after I am probably done with most of it I will add the half hexies to the sides.  Final color placement will be decided later.  […]

Windows were open – the weather was beautiful.  Cool enough to have windows open at night and all day is just the best!!  The brightness of the Flying Pansies is nice to see – nothing dull here.  I got these two done and then went to do other things. Then came back and did three […]

I wasn’t sure on Thursday night if anything was going to come to me for quilting on English Ivy – most times quilting designs come easily this one not so.  I have probably picked out more stitching then necessary but to me I see 3 designs in this quilt – other than the obvious one […]

On Wednesday seeing as I wasn’t quilting I went ahead and worked on getting English Ivy on the quilting frame.  It is a much smaller quilt than what is usually on the frame so it was much easier to get on the frame and it is ready for quilting.  Usually it comes to me quickly […]
