What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. There wasn't much time for sewing yesterday since I spent a good part of the day in the kitchen. Before anything else could begin, however, I needed to finish off the second block for the Quilters' Retweet.

Okay, and I had a lot to do in the kitchen yesterday, as I'd planned. My first task was to bake some cornbread for last night's dinner. I've made cornbread many different ways, but this recipe from my dear friend, Debi, is the ...

 Good morning, my friends. Things are pretty much back to what passes for normal around here. Our weather hasn’t been as bad as anticipated. We get a little rain each day, but then we can also get blue sky and puffy white clouds. It’s cooler than earlier in the month, and it seems some kind of coat or sweater is a good idea when we’re out and about. 

So I got my pedicure and had some lunch when I got home yesterday. Then I went to work quilting the vertical sashings on the Cats in Pajamas.

Good morning, my friends. Well, I'm back after my "pilot episode" of this year's flu. Interestingly (to me, at least), I looked back at several years of posts to see how I'd reacted to these vaccines in the past. In 2025, we got both flu and COVID on the same day…no reaction…not even a sore arm. Then, I looked up my post about our vaccines from 2024, and I had a similar reaction to this year’s vaccine...fever, chills, and feeling generally ill. In 2023, just general malaise. I know the vaccines are ...

Good morning, my friends. Oh, my goodness. We've had some nasty weather the past couple of days. We had nearly half an inch of rain on Sunday. Yesterday brought at least another inch. We're also heavily overcast, making day nearly as dark as night. We're supposed to see just a little clearing today, if you can believe the forecast. As I’m writing this, the rain has stopped. It’s overcast, but not so dark. We’re expecting more nasty weather for the remainder of the week. The weekend looks pretty good, but then more rain next ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a rainy day today, and we're expecting rain for the remainder of the week. Possibly the Big Dark has arrived. We're not planning our usual Rainbird trip south this year, and so I guess we'd better get used to it. It's good sewing weather, though. I'm hoping to get a lot accomplished today.

We had errands to run in town yesterday, but errands will always take a backseat to slow-stitching. Before we left, I made a little more progress on the second block for the "Pieces of the Heart ...

Good morning, my friends. We've reached the end of a hectic week. It's going to be good to get back into more of a regular routine next week. We're getting our winter vaccines (flu and COVID) on Monday, and I'll get my pedicure on Thursday. Aside from that, it'll be mostly business as usual. 

On today's agenda, we need to run a couple of errands in town, but here's the good news: The McRib is back!!!!! So, we'll get lunch at McDonald's. You might start getting the idea that McDonald's ...

Good morning, my friends. I'll just start right out by saying there's nothing to worry about with Smitty. I'll say more about that in a minute. With a vet visit in our immediate future, it seemed appropriate that I took the first stitches on the Pieces of the Heart stitchery yesterday morning. I’m just getting started on the body of the cat.

Good morning, my friends. Well, I skipped a day of blogging, and so I have a lot to show you. Happily, my dental appointment is behind me, and I'm good for another year. And, look ma! No cavities. Always a good outcome.

Backing up to Monday morning, I cut back the peonies to the ground. We'll look for them next spring. For now, I'm enjoying the last gasp of the flowers. This first one is the Firefighter dahlia. When we left on our trip mid-September, it had not a single bud on it. I was threatening to ...

Good morning, my friends. We're approaching what passes for normal here. The laundry was finished yesterday, and I weeded my weedy herb garden. While I was out, I realized it's time to cut the peonies back for the season. That'll be on today's agenda. Also, I think I've managed to grab all the strays from the camper that I neglected to unpack in my first effort. No matter how hard I try, no matter how many cupboards, drawers, and cabinets I open, I still manage to leave behind a few things. 

So that left me ...

Good morning, my friends. The camper is unpacked. The bedding, towels, rugs, and quilts are washed. The birds have been fed, and what else is there? Oh yes...I needed to find room for five more refrigerator magnets. Standing in front of the refrigerator is discouraged at this point. Hard hats are required.

Matthew suggested we might need a new refrigerator if we are to do more traveling. 

Probably I've forgotten something I still need to do, but I spent a good part of the day sewing yesterday. My first task was to reorganize and figure out where I ...
