What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

First I did get some accomplished yesterday and will link up to SoScrappy today for the RSC group.  I have the 3 Happy Daze blocks ready to applique to the background squares.  (the Mercantile block is on the right side).  Also linking to Patchwork & Quilts – I also have the first Mercantile quilt block […]

Off and on I worked all day long and the purple circle was done.   Ended up slightly wavy in places but I should be able to get that to lay flat with the applique to the background block.  First I got the center circle appliqued in place. Then I worked on piecing the outer ring […]

It is purple this month for the RSC group and I am busy with my purple block for Georgetown which has 9 large blocks and then a lot of smaller ones.  Right now I am making one large in the color selected a month – it takes about 2 days to do each block so […]

I mentioned I was going to be out of town most of the day and I was and didn’t get done with much here at the house but I did do a little. I will finish the last NYB block today – I came close to it last night but decided it could wait for […]

I just didn’t get done with things yesterday that I had planned to, instead Mike and I were working together on some outside stuff and just a little sewing got done. A little hexie work Pieces are cut and ready to piece for the last NYB block Hunter’s Star quilting from Saturday night linking to […]

But I didn’t get around to making the block or even prepping the pieces.  I have the pattern ready to use though – I am linking to Quilting is More Fun than Housework –-Life in Pieces – The border which I know I have rarely shown is this But if I want a scrappy border […]

New York Beauty – the blocks are just about done – one more block to make after I finished this one yesterday – this block is called “Echidna” – 35 pieces in this one with the very long spikes – I do like those spikes What is a Echidna – it is sometimes referred to as […]

Only two more blocks left to make for New York Beauty and then the border – hard to believe it is finally coming to an end.  When I first started it I wondered if I would make all the blocks – and I admit there are a couple I skipped and replaced with a second […]

Yesterday was this and that and not sure what did I do all day besides read?  It started out so warm – got up to 80 briefly setting a record high for February – I went outside to the porch at about 11 for some reason not really looking at the temperature and it felt […]

Yesterday I managed to get the section that I had been working on for Noriko’s Star (hexagon quilt)  finished but it was too late for an outside photo – too dark – today is going to be windy so doubt I will get one outside.  The end of the kitchen that I have been using […]

I think from what I hear the weather is confused all over the States.  It got up to 78 yesterday, windows were opened and fresh air was coming in – it was much needed as on Saturday when cooking I had a bit of smoke in the kitchen from almost burning some food – I […]

Today other than being outside and grocery shopping I will work on Noriko’s Star and get this section of hexies part way done – I did work on it yesterday and it is going together well – I am linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching with Kathy.  Also linking to Life in Pieces — Quilting […]

Another NYB block done – I’m on a roll now – by the end of next week the blocks should be done and maybe work on the border will start?  This block is called Possum and the Australian Bush Possum looks a lot like ours in the states – I don’t care for them and […]

Another cool day yesterday but warmth comes back all week and that will be so nice.   hope to still make progress in the sewing room each day. I will also be doing some outside stuff Yesterday I finished appliqueing the circle of the red Georgetown in place – that makes two down 6 more this […]

Yesterday was extremely busy – it was another day around 70 degrees so I was outside for a bit and then when I wore myself out I was inside working on my red block – Georgetown – all cut out. I started to sew the first circle and don’t think I had showed it with […]

I spent time organizing more in the sewing room on the rainy Sunday that we had.  I started out by emptying out the box that held the Hertfordshire Quilt top which by the way I sold the 36 inch piece to a reader – thank you Sandra it is in the mail tomorrow. In the […]

Like I had said this NYB block was going to be easy and it was – this is the Blue Whale block The wall – the 4 blocks in this last row that is on the wall are now sewn together – four more for the wall And the Australian Blue Whale these are now […]

I was busy all day yesterday – I started off the day organizing my hexies for the segment by rows – the quilt top was laid out on the table with a flat iron holding it in place so it wouldn’t move and pieces were laid in place.  I had miscounted and had about 10 […]

I spent time yesterday getting the prep work for Happy Daze done- the red whirly gig block and all of it’s pieces are cut.  I was asked did I use the accuquilt for this – not for the whirly gig – I have no die for that – for that one I used an old […]

Yesterday it was all about the handwork, no machine (other than the accuquilt that is for cutting).  If I ever won the lottery and had the big dream house I would have bins that could be stacked up and on wheels and have the ability to pull out to look for fabric in.  I guess […]
