What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good Morning Quilters!

Well, I looked at the two UFOs that I pulled out, and I made progress on one of them, while I’m still thinking about the second one.  Here is the progress:

The UFO is a kit, Collection for a Cause - Faith, pictured here:

I sorted all the fabrics, read all the directions, and looked at what was done previously.  The medallion style starts n the middle, and I added the hourglass blocks around the center part.  The star and pink and tan pieces  were assembled before, and also the hourglass blocks were made previously.

Then I ...

Happy 4th of July to all of our United States bloggers.  It is hard to believe it is now July!  The year is quickly happening.  My design wall again has my shirting and indigo Jane Stickle quilt on it, and again, I made some progress.  

Here is a picture of the blocks I made in the past two weeks:

Today I am having cataract surgery on my left eye, as scheduled.  The right eye surgery went well two weeks ago, so please pray that today’s procedure goes well too.  

The design wall has been actively used this week.  I finished the last of the appliquéd flowers on the border of The Cousin’s Walk quilt, and put it up there to take a picture of it.  This quilt is too big for my design wall!  Here are pictures taken this week before I send it to a long arm quilter:

 Good Morning Quilters!

Today I am having cataract surgery on my right eye.  Please pray that it goes well, and that my eyes will be well again soon so I can continue quilting.  The surgeon said I should be able to see colors more clearly after surgery, so that should be a good quilting thing!  If all goes well, the left eye will be done two weeks from now.

Progress has been made on my two UFOs up on the design wall.  I made the remaining four blocks for the log cabin doll quilt.  Next, it will be sewn together ...

Good Morning Quilters!

They are awaiting their time on the design wall.  There is no room because the design wall has my indigo and shirting Jane Stickle quilt blocks on it - at least the first six rows:

 Good Morning Quilters!

Last week, Rebecca Grace  (RebeccaGraceQuilting.com)  talked about Jane Stickle’s quilt on her blog, and also linked her post to our Design Wall Monday Linky Party.  Thank you Rebecca for that post.  I recommend we all read her post…..lots of info about this quilt.  If you want to read about my first Jane Stickle quilt, you can read my post about mine (Here)

I put my second version Jane Stickle Quilt blocks on my design wall last week, at least part of them.  I hope this will give me incentive to finish this quilt.  I ...

 Good Morning Quilters!

Well, for the third week in a row, I have a completed quilt that was a long in progress UFO to show you.   It's a Jane Stickle reproduction quilt.

Pictures of my quilt first, and then the story behind it.  First picture: Hubby is holding it up while standing on a bench outside.  It is quite large, and he couldn't reach his arms out wide enough to show the corners.

I tried to make my blocks as similar to Jane's as I could.  Most of my fun was searching for fabrics to use!

 Good Morning Quilters!

Today I am reflecting on my quilting hobby and the joy it gives me. I am leaving soon to meet other quilters at a retreat.  It always pleases me to be with others who enjoy quilting as much as I do.  I can’t wait to be there.

One project I will be working on while there is the Jane Stickle quilt.  I started an indigo and shirting version of this quilt back in October of 2013.  I made 13 blocks back then.  (HERE) There are 169 different quilt blocks and 56 different border blocks in the ...

Good Morning Quilters! April is almost over, and we have had our last snow storm.  I think we have.  The house finches have nested on the ledge over the front porch, in their usual spot.  In 2016 I wrote on my blog about them, and there has been a nest in the same spot almost every year since then.  The nest building activity has almost finished, and soon there will be eggs.  I get a good view
