What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I really did take it slow yesterday I admit I am not moving around great some days and actually starting to count the days until my surgery for my disc problems in my back.  I’ve been sitting around a lot reading and stitching. Doing regular house chores like laundry and a little bit of cleaning […]

I finally got the border done for Georgetown and now it is ready for me to cut out circles to add to brighten that wide space up a bit.  It looks wrinkly on the wall but it is hard to smooth it all out on the bottom with my back acting how it is.  I […]

One corner done 3 to go!!  It was cloudy yesterday – a cool front had come through and we got about 3/4″ of rain on Thursday night and it never really go very sunny but I did get the top out to the deck to take photos of it spread out. And of course I […]

Yes a “cold front” finally came through-the temperature late after went from 94 to about 78 in less than 20 minutes – lightening and thunder and about a half inch of rain.  I had been working on Georgetown but needed to unplug the machine so I set it aside.  I am half way finished with […]

I got in a variety of work and started on the border of Georgetown.  I always have difficulty with mitered borders so very much taking my time with this.  I am using my extra “worktable” to lay it out and fuss and fiddle with it before I sew. This next one is ready to sew […]

Well I worked off and on all day working on Hexies – and the first corner for Noriko’s Star is finished – now I need to sew it to the body of the quilt.  When that is done I will lay it out and take a photo. For now here is what it looks like […]

I decided to bite the bullet and get the mitered border cut for Georgetown and on the wall I might want to change colors around a little – not really sure.  One of the gray pieces I had been using only had enough available to one piece and another might be used for the final […]

It is so nice to know that the hexies border will work out just fine.  I got a lot of it stitched yesterday and have the rest of the corner laid out now to finish.  I laid it all out and put what I had butted up to it and it worked! Then I laid […]

I found a string of kindle unlimited books in a series where most of them are available for the audio version too so I can read on the kindle when I want or sync it to the phone and listen – The books are in the Eve Ronin series by Lee Goldberg.  I read the […]

I finally have the body of Georgetown put together – now on to the border that will square it up.  I’m seriously thinking of making circles instead of stars on this border – it will certainly take less time and there are a lot of circles on here already to it should go well.  My […]

I have been going slowly on Georgetown but it should be done this summer after all I just have to sew the last row on and then do the borders (and some circles or stars whichever I decide to do on the first border.  Yesterday I worked on sewing the last row. It is not […]

Well I guess right off the bat I will share my news from the doctor’s office – I will need surgery and the scheduler had been off yesterday so she will get in touch soon and get a date set up.  I have a very large ruptured disc L-2/3 that has not been absorbed back […]

I managed to get to the sewing machine and finish the 2nd row of Georgetown and sew the first two rows together.  Before I get to row 3 I plan to change the gray fabric out in the center of the row – the triangle and make it the darker gray as I have just […]

More work on the hexies, I am determined to get this first corner done so I can see if I need to make any adjustments.  I was listening to an audio book again right now – I got it from Kindle Unlimited and it is number 3 of a series – lucky for me it […]

I spent most of Sunday being lazy reading my kindle, then syncing the book with my Audible on my phone – the book came available to both with an unlimited deal which is nice.  While I was listening I was thread basting more hexies then sewing another row on to the body – it is […]

For Slow Sunday Stitching linking up with Kathy and Life in Pieces with Kate I will be working on my hexagons once again – I’m on a roll – I doubt I will do machine work today on Georgetown maybe? we will see.  I made progress yesterday on the hexies. I finished what had been […]

I decided to start sewing the blocks and pieces of Georgetown together yesterday and got half way done.  First I did the top row Then I took a break and got back to it  – I got part of the second row done, the aqua block is sewed to the orange block. I played chicken […]

Yesterday was a busy day as I was out all afternoon.  I had to drive 50 minutes west to another town for the MRI that the doctor had scheduled for my back and then we went to Sam’s to stock up.  I have my follow up appointment with the orthopedic doctor for my back later […]

Yesterday I mainly worked on The New York Beauty but as I was getting my blog post ready last night the quilt was finished! but it was in the dryer as I had finished it late in the day and put it in the wash and then the dryer.  I need to putit on two […]

Finally Georgetown on My Mind is ready to start border work.  If I have enough gray that is.  Now that the blocks are done and my table is cleared off I need to sort through the gray, read the instructions and see what I have.  If I remember right the next step is to sew […]
