May Muster from Nestlings By Robin

HI!
Been awhile since I have written here and while using my trusty thesaurus to find some alliteration to go with May round up, the word 'muster' came up and that has a very military connotation which was perfect.

This past month I have been working so hard to post more consistently to social media, have a theme and engage more...It is exhausting but also fun and productive.

I know the algorithms don't allow for everyone to see everything all the time. I also know that not everyone is on my newsletter list.

So, what you missed in ...

Design Wall Monday - May 26, 2025 from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

Today is Memorial Day. A day set aside to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. It used to be called Decoration Day and I remember going to the cemetery for a memorial service each year. My father wore his Army uniform from WWII and was proud to be part of the memorial service. I also remember the 21 gun salute and how loud the gunshots were.

Now, as I age, I do not go to the cemetery on Memorial Day, but I pray a prayer of thanks for all the brave ones who gave their ...

Summer Kick-Off from From the Strawberry Patch...

Well, now that Memorial Day has officially been observed; it's full speed ahead into summer. I'm ready! Having successfully navigated twice-a-week, post fracture, out patient physical therapy sessions I feel ready to tackle the world again! The therapist that I was assigned has been fabulous, he's young, motivated and extremely supportive of my desire to be fully healed, flexible and strong. He

Memorial Weekend from From My Carolina Home

This weekend, we pause to count our blessings and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom. To help you celebrate, here are a few of my posts with patriotic theme projects, food and tablescapes.

I made this Patriotic Table Runner some time ago, and it is the foundation of most of my patriotic tablescapes. The complete tutorial on how to make the tri-rec star blocks and put it together including putting borders on points, and binding non-90-degree angles HERE. It is easy and fast, you could have one made in time for the July 4th ...

Good Morning Quilters!

Many countries celebrate their fallen soldiers on different days. Today is Memorial Day in America, when we honor those who gave their lives fighting to protect our freedom. This somber poem, In Flanders Field, reflects the tragedy of all wars:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

In Flanders fields ...

One Scoop, Please! from From the Strawberry Patch...

I decided that I would like to add a new hopping foot option to Snowbird a few weeks ago, I really wanted a Scoop Foot. Since my longarm is not one of the newer machines that has the quick change option, that addition that I craved was going to necessitate installing an upgrade kit to make this happen. Mr. Goodneedle agreed to do the installation and I placed the order. The job was a labor

Design Wall Monday, May 31, 2021 from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

Memorial Day in America is a day to honor those who have fought and died for our country. When I was a child, it was called "Decoration Day" and we decorated the graves of soldier in the cemetery. When I was 28 years old, it was changed to "Memorial Day" and was made a holiday on the last Monday of May each year. One of my favorite Memorial Day pictures, which I've posted here before, is of a

Welcome, Sam! from From the Strawberry Patch...

Meet Sam, he's the newest guard to be posted at the door to my sewing room; he's arrived just in time for Memorial Day, Flag Day and the 4th of July!

Sunday/Monday Quilt Inspiration: Mini Charm Squares from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

My apologies for not being here for the last week. I have a sister who has Alzheimers, and she's spending the week with us. She needs constant supervision. I hadn't realized how much ground she's lost since the last time she was here.

Ways to use mini Charm Packs, on Craftsy

At first she seems the same, unable to hold a conversation but capable of answering simple questions. After a while though, it's apparent that it's a charade she cannot keep up for long. I know this charade bit is just a stage of Alzheimers, but it's still a surprise at how ...
