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. Gee, it's nice to see some blue sky and sunshine. It was a nice day yesterday, and it's looking like it will be a nice day again today. I was able to get outside for a while. The last dahlia is cut back now. I'd hoped some of the other buds might open, but they were still in tight green marbles when I looked at it. No chance they'll bloom before the first frost sets in. 

The only thing to do now is to look forward to spring when things will start ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a dark day yesterday. That usually means something truly terrible happened. In this case, it was just a dark sky from thick cloud cover. And it rained, and rained, and rained. If one can believe the forecast, we'll get some relief from this atmospheric river system we've been in. Ordinarily, I see the rain as good weather for sewing. So many days of darkness has me longing to get outside for a bit. Mike suggested we go out for Korean food last night, and I'd already been thinking the same thing ...

I guess for Jack’s Chain quilt you would refer to the “blocks” as “rings” because of the shape?  I have the first one on the wall while I look through fabric to see which green color to add to it – all the white is the same piece it is a very light beige maybe […]

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day with lots accomplished in the sewing room. Since it rained a good part of the day, it was a good day for sewing. For starters, I sewed together the newest Gumballs blocks.

It seems like a mish-mash of colors, but the diagonals seem to bring out a bit of a pattern. I like this project. I might even be motivated to make another one in ...

Let’s see what’s happening.

Y’all, I am so grateful for autumn. It’s my favorite season because it’s finally a smidge cooler and it’s the most colorful! A few leaves have fallen and the puppies are going nuts over them…and the acorns. The Hubs and I figure they’re getting more fiber.

Fall is also my muse for quilting. Projects are filling my head and sewing space and I think this is the time of year when I break rules like the stupid one-project-at-a-time rule. There, I said it. Without further ado, here’s ...

I continue to have server problems – no solution as of yet – my Instagram is karenquiltsetc. It was another work outside day for a little while anyhow – couldn’t over do my back but a little progress was made out there.  In the house as hand piecing and some knitting while listening to a […]

First let me say I am having server issues once again and it is barely letting me on here some days, I’m not sure how long it has been going on now.  All I can say is I don’t know what to do about it but wait it out.   If I try to start a […]

Melanie and I had never got shopping done on the weekend as we had planned and she had a day off today for a change so we spent the afternoon out.  We were gone longer than I thought we would be so I’m glad I got the bottom border added to Silent Night in the […]

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. I thought the rain would hold off until tomorrow, but it looks as if it'll be joining us sooner than that. We're promised an "atmospheric river," meaning rain, rain, rain, and more rain. It's the Pacific Northwest. What can I say? 

It's still dark outside as I write this. I'm hopeful the Firefighter dahlia will have opened a little more from yesterday's showing.

Progress has been made the border of the Rose Garden on the edge I was working on is done I rolled it down and was ready to start on the left side again – my go to starting point (if I don’t work from the middle out) This is where it stands now – one […]

Good morning, my friends. After writing yesterday's post, I proceeded to waste my morning hours messing with ChatGPT. This is the sort of thing that interests me not at all, but I was trying to create an AI image. It took me quite a while to understand the ins and outs of this. At one point I realized I was wasting my whole morning, and I decided to indulge in that luxury for a single morning. Since I needed to leave the house at 11:45 a.m., it didn't seem as if there was enough time to ...
