What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. The day's plans went off the rails a little bit yesterday. I was sitting peacefully doing my slow-stitching when a text came across reminding me that a product we use regularly was 50% off this weekend. Well, I'm not one to miss a good sale, and so we ended up making a trip into town. It was okay because I was afraid I was going to run out of eggs. I wish I'd thought to pick up a couple of white chocolate bars while we were at it, but I did not. I ...

Good morning, my friends. If you read yesterday's post, then you might remember when I said this: 

If I can wish for anything  today, it will be that the rain lets up at least a little bit.

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast this morning because Mike and I are heading out to the RV show today. We're not in the market for an RV, but we always enjoy looking at what's new. I believe the fifth wheel and truck camper we have now will probably be our last RVs. Before the show, we're dropping Mike's truck off for some needed service and then getting our beloved Egg McMuffins for breakfast. Comfort food, you know. So, you can see it's going to be a busy day.

Good morning, my friends. Well, what can I say? The sun rose this morning, just like always. It gives me hope that "normal" can return to rule the day. I appreciated the many comments I received from yesterday's post. We're all in this survival game together, my friends, and we're going to be okay. 

My day was spent licking my wounds and doing things I enjoy, trying to regain some serenity. I spent a little extra time on my slow-stitching. It seemed completely appropriate to finish off the second of seven stitcheries for the Girls' Getaway quilt ...

Good morning, my friends. Finally, it's the day we've been waiting for...the reveal of my mystery quilt for the "Spices" prompt. Maybe it's not the day you've been waiting for, but I'm always happy when I can finally show these secret projects.

Okay, so "Spices." I wanted to do something floral. I couldn't figure out any other subject that wouldn't involve a line of jars. One idea was to do the flower from whence we obtain vanilla. It's a pretty flower. Here's one I found in the Openverse.

Good morning, my friends. There's bright blue sky and a dark cloud hanging over the Three Cats Ranch this morning. Earlier, there was a dark red sky, and you know how that goes: Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.

My first stop is to get a haircut. Then, I'm taking my camera in for service and cleaning. There's nothing wrong with it mechanically, but I've noticed some spots on my pictures that would indicate a dirty sensor ...

Good morning, my friends. We're just a few days away from Halloween. Are you ready? Halloween is a non-event at our house. This will be our 23rd Halloween in this house, and we've never had a single trick-or-treater. It used to be fun when the boys were younger, and we figured out costumes for them. We also had a pumpkin carving evening, but no more. I miss those days.

My yesterday started with slow-stitching. As expected I finished up the first of two blocks I'm making for "The Story of My Day." It still needs borders. This ...

Good morning, my friends. Sadly, I must report that I have to go somewhere today. It's time for my monthly pedicure, and so I'll be heading out mid-morning for that. I like getting a pedicure. I just wish the pedicure would come to me. After that, I'll pick up a couple of items that have accumulated on our grocery list, and then I'll head for home. There's no telling how much time I'll have for sewing today.

If I can get to it, I'll be sewing the binding on Shop Hop 2.0 ...

Good morning, my friends. Probably I jinxed the weather yesterday when I told you the sky was getting brighter, and sunshine was in our future. Boy, was I wrong. It rained off and on most of the day. Looking ahead at the forecast, we're really not expecting any sunshine until early next week. After that...more rain. I'll need to be sure to get out and cut back the peonies when I have a chance. As for yesterday, there wasn't a whole lot on the agenda. Still, I managed to fill my time with some baking.

Good morning, my friends! We're nearly halfway through the month. How's everyone doing out there? It's been a busy weekend here, and we're not finished yet. The kids are coming for dinner tonight, and so I've been busy in the kitchen. Before I did anything else yesterday, though, I spent some time with my slow-stitching. I'd missed it the day before. Now October's block for "Joy in the Ordinary" is finished.
