What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I really meant to get started on the two large star blocks yesterday for the RSC quilt but I didn’t realize the second covid shot was going to wipe me out as much as it did!  I had the shot on Friday and got barely anything done on Saturday – I ached all over so […]

Yesterday I got caught up on my blue blocks for the 36 patch that I am working on – I have no idea what the size of this one will end up being – maybe I will continue it for next year? At this point I am just making two blocks a month in the […]

Lucy is making progress every evening even if only for a little bit.  Binding on Morning Glory also is moving along – although at a slow pace – I don’t sit for long to work on it but I think one and half sides are done now. I have the blue bins out but have […]

The Rose Garden block was finished so I will be able to have an empty table today to get the blue out for the Stars or the 36 patch – I’m not sure which I will work on first for the April color for the blocks I am making.  Six blocks finished and now it […]

I managed to finish my Love Letters block for March just in time to start the color blue for April – first I have one Rose Garden block to finish today so I can clear the table off to start going through the fabric.  Here are the extra large blocks finished so far.  Depending on […]

I meant to get around to sewing the rose garden block but I had other things keeping me busy yesterday – there was grocery shopping and a stop at the foot doctors for an injection for the arthritis (which made it feel much better) then in the afternoon there was working outside by the garden […]

I like spring but along with spring comes the sneezing and dripping nose for me.  I take two allergy meds and a allergy nose spray – I like being outside and will put up with it.  Melanie and I met for the first time in a month to walk at the trails she had injured […]

Yesterday I was in and out – it got up to 77 degrees yesterday – a little windy so was not out doing stuff as much as I do sometimes – the allergies were bad – our cooler weather will return – in fact I think by the middle of the week I might need […]

I was going to take a short break from quilting but after I got Lucy on the frame I had to sit and look at her and decide how to quilt these hexies and I have come up with a plan.  I am keeping it simple and in a diamond shape of course! And outline […]

I took the final stitches on Wednesday night putting me right over 100 hours on this quilt.  I’m ready to get the binding on today The last stitches Lighting wasn’t great – it did rain off and on all day so no bringing it outside right now – later?  Linking to Wendy’s Quilts and More […]

It is going to be off and on rain today so I have plenty to work on in the house of course.  I have another Rose Garden block set up to start I think there were 30 different colors to work with for the 30 blocks so one of each design – some the same […]

Will I or won’t I get done with my green Love Letters applique block by the end of the month so I will be able to start the next color in early April?  It is getting closer but I am not spending a lot of time at it.  I get distracted with outside when it […]

Don’t you hate it when you are down to all the bits and pieces of batting?  I don’t really care for piecing together batting all that much although I will do that to use up larger pieces but a lot of what I had were small so with the Connecting Threads sale that was going […]

We had another really nice day outside so no sewing was touched until late afternoon – I mentioned I have planted berries in the raised beds and that means a fence is required to keep the critters away.  While I was getting more mulch in between rows to keep the weeds at bay Mike was […]

After 14-16 months or so Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is done and in the “To be quilted” box – I will get her on the frame next year after Morning Glory is done which has been waiting longer – right now I am quilting them in order of how long they have been […]

Yesterday a front moved through and in one hour from 12:30 to 1:30 in the afternoon the temperature dropped from 79 degrees to 69 and kept dropping throughout the day – and as I was writing this at close to 7:30 PM it was down to 50.  Kind of like chilly fall weather I had […]

one day  it is warm then cool then warm and now it had been warm for 3 days in a row in the low 80’s so not much got done in the sewing room again yesterday – Saturday will bring back cool weather and I guess today is in between at 70.  Yesterday I got […]

I really have no other name for this quilt other than “Signature Quilt” maybe I should change it to “Friends Around the World” I don’t know we will see – how do you think that sounds? – It is now on the frame and work has begun.  As far as getting this quilt on the […]

The stitches were taken on Alaska Monday night!  I’m actually sitting it aside now for a couple days before I begin the binding so that I can finish Lucy and get the next quilt on the quilting frame.  I didn’t prepare the next quilt for the frame like I do sometimes and I need to […]

Just same old, same old here.  Hexies, quilting, and a walk – no outside work was done yesterday and I think it will be raining today so I will get two days off of digging up the flower bed – gives me more time to get some more bulbs I guess! I think you can […]
