What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Can’t believe this weather we are having – near 80 once again yesterday – windows open light breeze but not much.  Of course storms will move in at some point today it always comes that way but you know I looked at the outlook and other than some chilly nights coming up most of the […]

Yesterday was another day for being outside – enjoying the warm temperatures.  When I came out of the dentist office at 2:30 or so it was 85 degrees outside – unbelievable for March 12th.  At home up on the ridge it was 80 – nice there too. Deer were seen in the backyard Flowers blooming […]

After getting home from Little Rock yesterday afternoon I just didn’t have it in me to do any sewing.  I sat out on the porch where it had reach 80 sunny degrees!!  I couldn’t be in the house the rest of the afternoon could I!!  I sat and enjoyed the sunshine and read a book.  […]

I was able to finish up the last stitching on this section of Noriko’s Star I was working on and take it outside for some photo’s – it wasn’t windy! And the sun was mostly shining.  Two sections left to make and then the 4 corners – this will still take until the end of […]

Yesterday was another day of clearing up scraps, working on hexies, quilting and adjusting to the time change – for spring forward an hour.  Kind of messes me up a little but adjust quickly and I like it lighter in the evening! I forgot to take a photo of the box of scraps that I […]

I didn’t want to start sewing the half hexies together just yet yesterday while I looked at it a little while longer so I got busy cutting more scraps that were left over from it and from the Flying Pansies quilt that I did a couple months ago – that is where the Kaffe scraps […]

First it was more than half way through the day yesterday when I realized I was not getting comments from the blog post to my email like I normally do – I think I ended up answering all of you but I might have missed some.  No clue why that happened and don’t know if […]

Still working on the Half-Hexies on the color – I swear this is where it gets complicated – the more you put up on the wall and then see one piece that doesn’t look right where it is causes havoc!  Your intention is to move one piece to another and you end up moving 10! […]

Wow was it windy on Wednesday – it was 50 degrees but sure didn’t feel like it.  Melanie and I had went grocery shopping and the wind was just blowing us around and the empty carts to when we put them in the cart corral.  I hope that is past us now.  I thought we […]

Well I cleaned off the design wall and I’m ready to start over again – I am going to go across the wall instead of down because what I have planned is too long for my short wall and I don’t want it on the floor – so you will be getting a sideways view […]

The fabric that Wanda put in the mail for me last week to go with the Kaffe bright prints on the wall finally arrived after sitting in Chicago forever but I was sneezing and blowing my nose so much from allergies that I got no further than pressing all the pieces.  I hope to get […]

The segment of hexagons that had the big mistake on Noriko’s Star are almost fixed I might get the stitching done today.  Because all those papers had already been taken out I wasn’t sure how the sewing would go but because of having had papers and having been previously stitched they are laying flat as […]

Don’t you just love unpicking hexagons – unpicking rows of hexagons is messy all those little threads and you need to be so careful with the unpicking.  One of my readers let me know that she spotted what she thought was a mistake unless I had actually planned what she was seeing – I took […]

Ready to attach the new section of hexies that was completed yesterday to the big top. Phot came out a little dark – but I pin the two black pieces on the bottom together to make sure I have it going in the right direction before I sew.  I should get this attached in a […]

I was feeling a little under the weather yesterday – my sinuses dripping like mad and I just kept nodding off napping over a book.  But I felt just fine last night other than the drippy nose – don’t think I’m sick are allergies rampant already? I got some slow stitching done on hexie row […]

I’m pleased this New York Beauty is moving along but a very long way to go before it is finished.  The quilt is all batik and some are a little tougher to quilt through than other pieces so I am just taking my time through it – going slowly in some pieces and faster in […]

It was another nice day outside so I really didn’t do a lot inside but I did get some more cutting done on Shooting Star – some strips were pressed And some pieces cut.  Like I say not a lot – I just wasn’t into sitting at table and working on this all that much […]

I could say a wasted day – meaning nothing in the sewing room – but it wasn’t wasted as I did need the dental work done – I’m sure I will feel better today – I always feel wiped out after getting crown work done – yes I have gotten a lot of them over […]

I was busy yesterday arranging (and rearranging) half hexies on the wall and took a short walk outside – kind of muddy so didn’t go far – hope the ground starts to dry out a little – it did warm up to 55 but some winter snow/ice still on the ground it still had a […]

I have the half hexies cut for now from the fabric that I had.  I don’t have enough to make anything large but we will see how it goes – I have a little up on the wall to see how they look – these are constructed in long rows no Y seams The last […]
