What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Okay, so there are plenty of quilt shops in the area to choose from. I happened to read a Facebook post about this one. Christmas Good Quilt Shop also has a web presence right here.

My dear friend Debi and I had a great FART (Fabric Acquisition Road Trip) yesterday. And, if you're like me, you know there's nothing better than a good FART. Debi and I have been friends for a long time, but we don't often get good one-on-one time together, and so the shopping was only one part of the nice day we spent together.

We started at Quilter's Cottage in Fallbrook, California. I first visited Quilter's Cottage way back in March, 2018. That was before the pandemic. (Have you noticed yourself marking time as BP and ...

Good morning, my friends. How cold is it where you are? 

When I'm finished with the laptop computer each morning, whatever I'm using it for, I put it in sleep mode and then set it on the floor, leaning against the exterior wall of the RV. When I pick it up, it feels as if it's been sitting on ice. Maybe I need to make a little quilt for it, to keep it warm you know. Certainly it must be against the law for a quilter's inanimate objects to go uncovered, wouldn't you think?

Well, my weekend was great. I had two full days of almost nothing but sewing. Yesterday I needed to do two small housekeeping chores, and I needed to take advantage of a break in the rain to fill the bird feeders. The cat-tle were grazing while I was out.

Good morning, my friends. We're back from our little get-away to Yakima, Washington. Saying it was a get-away makes it sound like we were on a little vacation jaunt, but we were actually delivering our truck camper to the manufacturer there for some work on its slides. We'd taken it to the local dealer where we bought it. After a week or so of nothing from them, Mike called to see what was going on. When they sounded as if they didn't know what the heck they were doing, Mike told them to stop all work, and ...

It rained, and rained, and rained hard all day long yesterday. In the past two days, we've received somewhere in the neighborhood of four inches of rain. There is flooding in the lowlands, and one of the campgrounds on the Oregon coast had to be evacuated by the Coast Guard when floodwaters cut off the only exit out of the place. Given our track record with RVing in flood zones, I'm surprised we weren't a part of this debacle.

The kitties stayed under the blankets all day, and I spent the day slow-stitching. After several hours, I ...

I didn't have any particular fabrics in mind (too soon for the Quiltville  mystery colors). I stuck to the sales shelves and got some colorful bargains. 

It's a rain-drenched morning here at the Three Cats Ranch. I'm a little late with my blog post this morning...not that anyone is keeping track. I changed up my morning routine so that I could finish the hooping of the Kitty Cat Alphabet I'm working on. In the middle of all that, I made our Sunday morning blueberry oatmeal pancakes. So you can see...we're not exactly racing out of the starting gate this morning.

Our first after-breakfast stop yesterday was the closest quilt shop we could find. This was a good one. It wasn't one of the larger shops, but I was certainly greeted by some very friendly people. Nancy Landon is the owner, but her husband was also there greeting customers and helping out.

The shop was located in the corner of a large shopping center. Of course, my picture had to include the saguaro cactus growing in the parking lot. Sorry for the graininess of these photos. I took them with my phone, and I've figured out the easiest way ...
