What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

First off yesterday I worked on the orange Georgetown block to get it finished – I forgot to press it before I put it up on the wall but that is ok they will all need to be pressed again anyhow – next time I get the iron out I will take care of some […]

For the next couple of days or three I will be busy with hand work.  I have the orange Georgetown block made into the circle and it is ready for the applique work now.  After this photo was taken I actually got started on it and maybe have a third of it done.  I was […]

I was busy yesterday trying to make progress for the lack of it over the weekend I guess and because I have several doctor appointments this week cutting some days short of sewing. First I worked on Georgetown and got the circle ready for the last step of applique to the big gray square – […]

Yesterday I didn’t do a lot, I spent more time relaxing with a book then any sewing.  I did get the last row of hexagons done and they are ready to add to the section soon. I got more quilting done on New York Beauty Saturday night and that is progressing well. And this section […]

New York Beauty is coming along pretty well with quilting every evening, the cross hatching was done on Friday evening And I was able to move back over to the middle – I just did a little on this block before I quit for the evening. I took the hexies and the Ipad out to […]

This round of orange for the Georgetown block didn’t go on easy – I had to fix a few seams and press and press to get it to lay flat – finally it went down – one more round to go – I knew I would frustrated if I continued with it.  Sometimes pinning and […]

Yesterday I didn’t work on the hexies but at the sewing machine instead and made progress on the orange Georgetown block – I got the center ready for applique and finished that part of it. I did start on the next ring but didn’t get that finished – I will continue on that ring next. […]

I’ve had a little progress on Georgetown – the June color of the month is orange and while that is not my favorite color by any means I’m not sure what the remaining colors will be and I have two more of the smaller circle stars to make and I don’t want the middle one […]

While still taking it easy and resting my back I was busy piecing hexies and made huge progress – amazing what can get done if I sit longer than 15 minutes a day LOL and indulge in tv during the day which I usually do not do – binge watching a series on Prime.  Linking […]

I was sitting part of the day with the heat wrap around my back watching a series on TV and  working on hexies – this section will get done faster than others have – something about being the last section of Noriko’s Star before the corners makes you move faster. Also the star point for […]

I laid the quilt top out over the quilting frame so I could get the layout right on the flannel board.  The board isn’t quilt wide enough so some get stacked up on the ends and I know to check it when I get to them.  I’m looking forward to getting this section done so […]

Yet another day of not working on Georgetown.  I was busy outside and sitting on the porch a lot reading before the hot sweaty days of summer arrive.  It was only 81 outside and dry air – you have to appreciate the low humidity days when you get them. I did get the rest of […]

I never did get around sewing yesterday on the machine but I did work on hexies and only have a few more left to baste before I get started on the final section for the big hexagon shape. Nice neat rows. The corners of the quilt will look something like this but in much lighter […]

I got back to work getting another star point ready for Georgetown On My Mind.  I thought I needed to get at least one more done before the color for June is announced and I will be busy getting another star circle made. This point is cut out and ready to sew today.  I think […]

Instead of sewing I started to clean out a drawer behind the door – I have a table slid in that area that has things stored on a shelf.  I need to think of something else to do with that storage area.  I have no room to use the table but I hadn’t wanted to […]

I hadn’t planned on sorting fabric yesterday.  It just happened.  I had mentioned in the past that I have shelves under the quilting frame and tables that came with some pretty cheap poorly constructed cube “boxes”.  If I had known how poorly the cubes were that came with it and that they totally were not […]

Three days of rain and finally we are done – thankfully we didn’t get as much as was predicted – in fact we only got 1.75 inches total over the last 3 days (it had been predicted that we would get 4-6 inches).  Yesterday was only 60 degrees for a high this late in May […]

More rain yesterday and thunder so I didn’t work at the machine but I got more pieces ready for Georgetown, I now have two star points ready to stitch. And while I was watching a series on my Ipad I was getting more hexies thread basted for Noriko’s Star, I think I now have close […]

Another lazy day – rained all morning and finally cleared up in the afternoon more coming – I hope not as much as they say. I went through more scraps of fabric to select for little pieces for Georgetown and I have one more star point ready for sewing. I really just didn’t feel a […]

Not a lot got done, I just wasn’t in the mood – other than hexies and selecting some fabric there isn’t much – this fabric will go in the star points on Georgetown like the section I showed the other day The rows of flower hexies is about done I just need to check how […]
