What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

No fabric out this week.

Girls day out yesterday.  We stopped several places that sold fabric.  I don’t usually buy fabric at quilt shops (I know, I know, if we don’t support them they won’t be there), but yesterday was the exception.  I love a good scrap bag, and this one was screaming at me to take it home and make a table runner out of it. 

The bag contained a section of panel, coordinating fabric and neutrals.  What’s not to love?

The trick will be fitting it in between my challenge projects and still making ...

Good morning, my friends. We find ourselves in Klamath Falls, Oregon, this morning. And YAY! We're not home yet, but at least we're in our home state. And forget everything I said yesterday. We had to spend a couple of hours yesterday morning rerouting ourselves when we heard there was a winter weather advisory for the Cascades and the Siskiyous. It will be hazardous trying to get across the mountain passes with that kind of weather, and so we've rerouted ourselves to head north to the Columbia Gorge and then head west toward home from there.

So ...

I'm back home again from my two week South Island Tour.  As you probably know, I took my knitting with me, but hardly touched it.  I didn't want to be knitting in the coach, and after a day sight seeing, plus a big dinner together every night, I was just too tired.  But I did almost finish my Wuthering Heights book, nearly at the end of that.  A good thing too, as I'm off to see the movie very soon, and I wanted to refresh my memory of the convoluted story. 

I was sent a picture of ...

Good morning, my friends. I made good on my threat to check out the new quilt shop in Pahrump yesterday. I'll tell you about that in a minute. The quilt shop didn't open until noon, and that gave me some time to take the first stitches on Block 5 of the Snowmen & Reindeer project.

Good morning, my friends. It was a blustery and rainy day yesterday. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I was determined to break my lazy streak by getting out for a walk. Mike accompanied me along my way. The sun was shining as we walked away from the RV, but there were some clouds in the sky. We walked up and down, taking in whatever there was to see. Before we walked away from our site, I turned to capture a shot of this snow-covered peak. This is Charleston Peak...the highest peak in the Spring Mountain Range.

Good morning, my friends. I have a lot to tell you today, and lots of pictures to show. You might want to top-off whatever your drinking and get settled in a comfy chair. Before you do that, though, be sure to lace up your hiking boots. We're gonna go for a short, but challenging hike.

Heading out, we drove directly toward these mountains before turning north. I can never get over the beauty of the geological features of this area. It doesn't have the impact of a place like, say, Monument Valley, but the colors and shadows of ...

Good morning, my friends. It was cloudy and cool yesterday, but there was no rain. We took a short drive north for more avocados, but otherwise, we did nothing. I spent a good part of my day slow-stitching. Happily, I have finished the 21st of 21 embroidered sections for the Raggedy & Friends project.

Good morning, my friends! And Yay! We're home early enough that I can still say "good morning." We've done our grocery shopping already today. I'm hoping I won't need to go back before we reach our final destination in southern California, but that's probably not realistic. Still...I'm hopeful. Without checking today's to-do list, I think grocery shopping was the only thing on today's list. If that's the case, I can spend the rest of the day sewing. Probably, I'll take a nap too.

Good morning, my friends. It was another busy day yesterday. I got a late start after sleeping in later than usual, but I still managed to cross off the things on my list. I wanted to get busy with the Peppermint Bark before I did anything else. It's very easy to make. The hardest part of the whole thing is getting the dratted paper off the candy canes. Mike helped with that. When it was finished, it looked like this.

Good morning, my friends. I'm happy to announce I finished making the last kitten in a teacup yesterday. It's surprising that I was able to finish them off without having to use my rotary cutter to slit my own throat. The kitties were there to offer meowral suppurrt. Sadie gazed longingly at the pieces I'd cut to finish the last block. I'd left them covered with rulers to purrtect them from...you know...mice.

Smitty took the seat next to my light box. He ...
