What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. We find ourselves in Houston this morning. And I'll bet you thought Houston was in Texas. But no. It’s right here in Alaska. Welcome.

Good morning, my friends. I moved through the day like a zombie yesterday...not that I felt dead, but I tried to bore myself to death. It took me half the day just to get off the couch, and then I completely forgot to do my assigned housekeeping chores. And it got so late in the day that I decided not to walk on the treadmill. Some days are like that, I guess. 

On the must-do list, however, were these Lemon-Blueberry Muffin Cookies. I'm linking to the recipe there, but that in no way indicates a recommendation from me ...

Good morning, my friends. We're going to get three kinds of precipitation over the next day or two. It has already started. We're expecting snow, sleet, and freezing rain. And one might as well say "lions, and tigers, and bears!" Looking out my window as I'm writing, it has already started.

Good morning, my friends. How is everybody doing today? My yesterday amounted to one frustrating day of sewing. Fortunately, I believe I have things sorted out now, and today should go better...right after I mop the floor. I'm not including floor-mopping in the "better day" category, but it must be done. 

Things started out okay. I spent a little extra time on the morning's slow-stitching so that I could finish off this third of seven pieces for the Girls' Getaway quilt. I think, of the seven, this one has the most stitching

Good morning, my friends. Here we are again at Friday. The weeks are seeming to fly by right at the moment. Is it just me or does time move faster as we approach the end of the year? And let me just say I've been ready for the presidential campaign to end for at least the past six months. (Probably I was ready before it even started.) Just a few more weeks, and then we'll get a reprieve.

After finishing yesterday's post, I went to work finishing up September's "Joy in the Ordinary" block. It still ...

Good morning, my friends, although there isn't much morning left in the day. It was a busy and productive morning for me. I showered and left the house early for a fasting blood draw. It's a miserable morning when I can't have my coffee. It took three sticks for one vial of blood, which was mildly annoying. 

The phlebotomist read off the tests they would run on my blood, looking at me for affirmation. "If that's what the doctor ordered," I said. "I was hoping you would know what we're doing." Sheesh. It didn't ...

Good morning, my friends. It was hot yesterday. We were glad we were out early to see the Glen Canyon Dam. Before we left, I'd checked to read about the tours. They were listed at $5 each, which seemed like a bargain. I'd hoped to buy tickets ahead of time, but there didn't seem to be a way. In any case, we had our breakfast, and then drove the short distance to the visitor center.

Here's what it says on the plaque.

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to Wednesday. For you working people, it's hump day! Yay! What could be better than that? Well...Friday...and pay day, I suppose. Those are both better than hump day, but I digress.

The day kind of went off the rails yesterday. I'll tell you why in just a minute. There was time to get in my morning dose of slow-stitching. I've stitched August, September, and October now.

Good morning, my friends. Our overcast sky and cool weather continues. It was cool enough yesterday that we both wore sweatshirts, which seems just crazy in August. I expect warmer weather will return, but for now, the break from the heat is appreciated. And no rain, which makes being outside nice. While I was out watering the annuals yesterday, I found a cat on a mission.

Good morning, my friends. It was kind of a wasted morning yesterday. I had a 10:20 a.m. appointment with my dermatologist. At 11:20 a.m., I was still waiting to be seen. It was tempting to leave, but I was sitting there in a gown, and I knew if I got up to put on my clothes again, someone would come in. So, I waited. In the end, she did two biopsies. I expect one to be benign. As for the other, I'll just have to wait and see. I'm not leaning either way on ...
