What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Progress has been made the border of the Rose Garden on the edge I was working on is done I rolled it down and was ready to start on the left side again – my go to starting point (if I don’t work from the middle out) This is where it stands now – one […]

Note:  I am back to having server issues again so be warned the blog might be in and out again for a couple days  – I don’t have a clue why they have so many problems. Did some machine work and have part of the top and part of the bottom sections put together of […]

Finally yesterday I sat down and worked on Santa for quite awhile it seemed like but I’m sure it was only an hour or so.  Overall now I need to sew the top row together.  Several more steps to go before it is all joined adding narrow strips of white flannel here and there according […]

Another row of hexies on Noriko’s Star – and yes it is nearing the end and I have not decided what my next hand project will be – several have run through my mind but I’m not in a rush.  After this second white row the last flower will be put in. More sewing on […]

Another day of not really feeling like sitting at the machine – maybe today, I do have a late afternoon dental appointment so we will see.  More was done on the hexies and even though I am getting towards the end I needed to go through the last of the paper hexies that I have […]

Finally I got back to the Santa in Silent Nights – not much but a little And got some cutting done and ready to piece today maybe or I might just do slow stitching – this is the bag that Santa is holding in his mitten covered hand, I need to cut a red strip […]

Yesterday was another day not at the sewing machine.  It was time to figure out where to put the house plants and set up plant lights that I decided to get this year.  I did get some more work done on the hexies though so will show that first – I planned on stitching that […]

Once again it was not a sewing day.  I had a hair cut appointment which was long overdue.  I was going to get my haircut back in early August before my back surgery but with scheduling doctor appointments, CT scan, MRI I just didn’t get to it – when I was recovering I didn’t feel […]

A little more hexie work done today but nothing on the Santa – I picked out pieces for the next row. I wasn’t done sewing a row on main piece though and didn’t want these to fly away or get out of order so I fold the liner over it – I do this most […]

I didn’t get a lot of work done on Santa for Silent Night but I did get a little more done.  I was also outside working in the garden getting rid of those weeds.  Right now I am trying for every other day in the garden giving me a recovery day in between.  We are […]

I just barely did any sewing yesterday daytime.  I was reading a book and then went to get grocery shopping done plus the stop at the pharmacy for my flu & covid shot which seemed to take forever sitting and waiting for my turn.  Finally I got done and picked up my prescriptions and started […]

Once again I changed out quilts on the bed – I’m trying to do this more often so they all get some use and not just folded up in a stack.  This one I finished in 2016 and I named it “The Final Frontier” in honor of Star Trek.  Audrey from Quilty Folk had a […]

Another Sunday has come around and for the link up with Kathy at Slow Sunday Stitching group I will most likely be getting in more stitches on Noriko’s Star last corner which has been coming along pretty good.  I will finish the link up this morning.  Also linking to Kate’s Life in PIeces On Saturday […]

First shipping said I would get my fabric that I needed to finish Silent Night on the 8th then it said the 14th and then it came yesterday – that’s ok, I was glad to get it.  Linking to Quilting Patchwork Applique today Even so I wasn’t able to get started cutting the first section […]

It was one of those days when not much sewing got done.  I had laundry going and the closet was dried out and aired out from the hot water heater leaking like crazy – we wanted to make sure the floor was completely dried out before filling it back up so had a fan in […]

With all 8 trees the Silent Night quilt is getting near completion.  Now I need to decide will all the trees stay where they are or move around?  I have some white flannel strips to add here and there and then the Santa and the border.  I ordered a piece of red and a piece […]

I didn’t machine stitch yesterday but I did get another tree cut out this will be the last tree to sew for Silent Night. More hexies were put together and now I need to watch for placement of the flowers – I almost got this row thread basted when I remember it might be time […]

What started out to be a lazy Sunday of hand stitching and reading turned into clean up mode instead – we discovered the hot water heater was leaking all over the place.  It is inside of a closet area so we were getting rid of water, emptying the area of the closet close to it […]

My blog server keeps crashing so if you are having trouble opening my blog the last couple days that is what is going on – I have no clue when they will straighten it out it seems to do this every couple weeks lately. For this Sunday’s Slow Stitching with Kathy (I will add the […]

It was supposed to be hot yesterday I thought they had said near 90 I was surprised that it was 82 for the high and a nice breeze on the front porch – I spent more time sitting and reading outside than I had in a couple weeks.  The current author I am reading free […]
