What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It was another rainy day yesterday...good sewing weather. I had a lot on my day's to-do list, and so I didn't get as much done in the sewing room as I'd hoped. Still, it was a good day all around. The weather is forecast to be cloudy today, but I think the rain might have moved on. We're expecting a hot weekend ahead with record-breaking temperatures. Mike and I will be camping. I'll say more about that in a minute. For now, let's talk about sweet things.

Good morning, my friends. It was a wet, wet day yesterday. We received over half an inch of rain at our place. It was a good day to attend the Titanic Artifacts exhibit going on at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI). Matthew and I had originally planned a walk on one of the local trails, but the OMSI exhibit turned out to be a good substitute. 

I have lots of pictures, as you might imagine, so let's just get right to it, shall we? I should say that the lighting was weird, and I was taking ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast today because I need to leave in about two hours to meet up with Matthew. I'll tell you what we're doing in a minute, but I want to add that I'm also writing fast because not much happened here yesterday. My morning started as usual, taking the first stitches on Block 6 for "Home is Where My Flock Is." I neglected to take a picture before moving my hoop, and so some of the stitching is outside the hoop on the left.

Good morning, my friends. Before we go even one word further, I feel I must point out that today is

As expected, I had almost no time for sewing yesterday. I managed to stitch Tiny Treasure #57. This one has stem stitch, stem fill, lazy daisy, and French knots.

Good morning, my friends. Today comes the "find out" part of my recent FAFO actions. (Google it, if you don't know.) It's the day I go to court over my recent speeding ticket. There's no whining or making excuses on my part. I'm just hoping for a reduction in the fine if I throw myself on the mercy of the court. What form do you think this should take? Should I writhe on the ground for a while? Would kicking and screaming be ill-advised? Probably I should wait and read the room before making any rash ...

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to June. Today is the 24th anniversary of the founding of the Three Cats Ranch. We moved into our home on June 1, 2002, bringing with us this crew for whom the place is named. If you've been reading a long time, you'll remember George and Gracie. You won't remember Krissy, the tortie bringing up the rear. She was a memorable kitty, and she lived to be 19. She lived with us longer than either of our boys.

Good morning, my friends. It was kind of a lazy day yesterday. For one thing, we were both awake very early...during the 4:00 a.m. hour. I don't know about you, but if I wake up any time after 4:00 a.m., my brain is off and running, and I can't get back to sleep. While I was doing my slow-stitching yesterday morning, I could swear I fell asleep mid-stitch, and just kept on stitching. So, when Mike went back to bed for a morning nap, I just slid down on the couch where I ...

Good morning, my friends. It looks like our weather might decide to warm up again. We're expecting warmer temperatures day by day, and we have a plan to plant our vegetable garden later this week. It's going to be a small garden this year. I'm sprouting zucchini and pickling cucumbers in the greenhouse at the moment. We'll also plant corn and green beans. You might remember our last garden when the critters bit the green beans off at ground level, killing every single plant. We have an idea about how to thwart those little gnawing bastards ...

Good morning, my friends. There wasn't a minute to waste yesterday if I was to get everything done. After writing my post, I headed straight to my slow-stitching. (Priorities, people.) And then I went outside to check on things there. My first stop was the greenhouse. With so many seedlings in pots, I'm checking the water daily. There, I was happy to discover sprouts in two of the three zinnia pots.

Good morning, my friends. It was good to have a relatively "normal" day here yesterday. There was no going anywhere. We had leftovers for dinner, so there was mostly no cooking. Of course, I checked in on the seedlings in the greenhouse, but the day was mostly reserved for sewing. I'll have to get a little busier today. The bird feeders are all empty. I'll have to check in on the seedlings every day now. Oh...and the peonies are just about to burst open. I've noticed color on the Lavender Whisper peony...it's the one ...
