What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

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 ...

Good morning, my friends. If you read yesterday's post, then you already know our yesterday was spent sight-seeing in the nearby towns of Zillah and Toppenish. We left the RV early to head down the road a mile to have a breakfast of our beloved Egg McMuffins, and then we made our trek to both towns. We were back at the camper before noon. We were staying in one of the less desirable private RV parks. I can't complain too much. The place was nothing fancy. The worst part is that the surrounding area is populated by feedlots ...

Good morning, my friends. We had another short drive yesterday…in the 90 mile range. We were back-tracking over some roads through the town of Quincy. Eventually, we came over a rise and took in this view of the Columbia River. We were going to cross the bridge you see below.

Good morning, my friends. It was a perfect day for hiking the Ancient Lakes Trail yesterday. We had both clouds and sun, and it kept us cool along a rather dry and unshaded path. But let's just back up to the start of the day. When I looked out our back window, this is what I saw:

While we've been traveling, I learned that the designer of this pattern, Meg Hawkey, had passed away. I read that on Facebook, and I haven't ...
