What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. Hopefully, nobody lost any fingers in yesterday's Fourth of July festivities. True story:  My brother once tried to put out a Roman candle by sticking it into the sand. Just one problem: He had the burning end in his hand and stuck the unlit end in the sand. Meanwhile, the thing shot a fireball right into the palm of his hand. It was a serious injury that had his hand out of commission for quite some time. So...hopefully, none of you did anything like that yesterday.

Good morning, my friends. There as a change of plans yesterday. Shortly after my morning blog posted, Matthew called to say he'd barely slept the night before. And I'm sympathetic to that. We decided to do our walk on Monday. No worries. I could switch gears. Only...I seemed to be stuck in neutral because I made almost no forward progress during the day. 

There was a little progress to show on the Love Sampler. After stitching these two sections, I moved my hoop to the right. I'll pick it up there this morning, and then continue ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a mixed bag of a day. Some things went as expected, and others...not so much. It was time to fill the bird feeders. In summer, that seems to be my most important job. While I was out, I marveled at the flowers on the purple hydrangea.

Good morning, my friends. It was a rather unproductive day yesterday. A lot of my morning was spent sitting on the couch. My treadmill and Bow-flex workouts have been completely abandoned over the past month. I tried unsuccessfully to talk myself into a Bow-flex workout yesterday morning. Even when I speak sternly to myself, it’s hard to overcome my level of stubbornness. After more than 50 years of cat ownership, it’s completely understandable that I would adopt their attitudes in my daily life.

Good morning, my friends. Its been nice to indulge in the peace of some slow days over the past week. With Mike’s cataract surgeries, and my asthma attack of the previous week, it was good to have a breather. (Pun totally intended.) Yesterday morning, I started on a new embroidery piece. This is Block 8 of 9 for the Le Jardin project. Not much color so far, but it’s coming.

Good morning, my friends. Mike and I were up and at 'em this morning. It was warm yesterday. We ran our A/C for the first time this year. We turned it off last night, and it was cool enough, but neither of us slept very well. I don't know about you, but I like cocooning under the weight of the covers. If I can't have the covers over me, I don't sleep as well. In any case, we enjoyed this morning's pretty sunrise.

Good morning, my friends. It was good to give myself a day off yesterday. Trying to talk myself into hoeing the garden, I took a walk around. The garden could have used a good hoeing, but I decided it could wait until this morning too. It feels like ages since I've had nothing on my to-do list, and so I grabbed at the opportunity with gusto.

As long as I was out, I took a few pictures of what's going on outside right now. Cherries continue to ripen, but they’re not ready yet. I expect we’ll ...

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to Summer...that is, if you're here in the northern hemisphere. Sorry about you southern hemisphere folks. On the other hand, maybe you're happy for some cooler weather. In any case, James Taylor...you take it from here.

Summer's here, I'm for that

I got my rubber sandals, got my straw hat

I got my cold beer, I'm just glad that I'm here

Summer's here, that suits me fine

It may rain today 'cause I don't mind

It's my favorite time of the year and ...

Good morning, my friends. And if there are any dads out there reading...then, Happy Father's Day to you!

Good morning, my friends. Before I say anything else, I should say that I'm feeling significantly better today. Most of yesterday morning was spent at urgent care. I like that they have a section on their website that allows you to insert yourself into the line before you leave home. There was no one in the waiting room when I arrived, and so it didn't matter, but it's still a nice feature. They gave me a second nebulizer treatment while I was there, and they sent me home with a portable nebulizer machine so that I can ...
