What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

You might have thought that I've been on a break. Well, let me tell you, it's not been an intentional one (however break may just be the operative word here). I've got lots to write about and plenty to catch up on; that will all happen soon enough. But, in the meantime, I've been sidelined with a cracked distal radius bone. Yep, that's me and, of course, it's my right wrist. Sigh. Every event

“We are what we repeatedly do, therefore, excellence is not an act but a habit.” Aristotle I always think about repetition when I’m stitching.  Stitching a few french knots?  How about a few hundred?  And what about some bullion circles?  A whole cluster of them is even better!

It’s impossible not to contemplate the genocide that ravaged this country, when more than one million people were massacred in 100 days. Think about that. Resulting in a collective trauma that is still felt by so many to this day. It was a brutal time demonstrating the worst aspects of colonialism and the racism that […]

Have you ever found yourself in a situation that your safety and well-being are at the kindness of complete strangers? If you think about it for even a second, it kind of scary, isn’t it? It happened to me back when I was a teenager. ....

The post The Kindness of Strangers appeared first on Musings From The Bungalow.

It is the week of Thanksgiving. Many families have a tradition of going around the table to say why they are thankful. Since this year is so different we may have a harder time finding reasons to be thankful.

Sometimes it seems hard to find good reasons and we say the same things we said years prior; family, job, this table full of food. This year you might be thankful that your family is able to gather over zoom or for our health care workers or even just thankful that you have your health.

I'm keeping busy, there's always too much to do and not enough time to get it all accomplished. I don't know how I ever got anything done at all when I was allowed to leave the house! As fast as I finish one project I find three others to work on! I began setting these stitcheries together with low volume 25-patches.
