What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. We actually saw some blue sky yesterday afternoon. The rain let up late in the day, and we hoped we were through the worst of it. Then, I heard it raining last night. Still, I think we'll get some relief today, and the forecast is still looking good for our camping trip next week. Wouldn't that be something? As I mentioned to my friend Kate this morning, I don't think we've ever been to Cape Disappointment when it wasn't raining. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, okay? There's ...

Good morning, my friends, and a Dandy December to you. Let's send 2023 out with a bang, shall we? Next year will be the interminable campaign here in the United States, and I'm afraid it's about to get ugly. But let's not talk about that, okay? Let's talk about kitties. 

Sadie was my helper cat in the sewing room yesterday. They like that I've given them their own quilt to use when we're sewing.

Good morning, my friends. It was a grocery shopping day yesterday. We were late out of the starting gate and so it was after lunch before we were home again. And after a harrowing trip to the grocery store, naps are a requirement in order to fully recover. We indulged. And that didn't leave much time for sewing. Also, I decided to do some baking, and so there was even less time.

Good morning, my friends. It's time to announce the winner of my little giveaway. I consulted with Mr. Random who chose...

Bonnie58!

Congratulations, Bonnie58! I've sent you an email, so check your inbox.

Okay, and that's probably the most exciting thing I have to tell you this morning, but bear with me, please. I finished the 11th block for the Domestic Affairs quilt. This one:

Good morning, my friends. It was a full day here at the Three Cats Ranch. No time was wasted, and it was all well spent. I finished the stitching in my hoop, and then moved to the lower position to capture the rest of it.

Good morning, my friends. Well, what can I say? I'm not very good at following my own wise counsel. (The level wisdom is open to debate, of course.) When I got started on the quilting yesterday, I told myself I would stop after an hour. But then, I had to pick out some stitches when I made a wrong turn, and so I gave myself a little extra time. And then I had to pick out some more stitches, and so I added a little more time. When time was up I said, "Just a little more." And then ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast this morning. In a couple of hours, I'm getting a routine eye exam. Nothing seems amiss with my vision, but I check in every year anyway. It means getting myself around early this morning. After that, I need to make a quick stop at the grocery store, and then I'll have the rest of the day for sewing.

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we were headed out to the Portland RV Show. We haven't been to the RV show in at least five years, and we were ...

Good morning, my friends. We had a change of plans yesterday. We decided to go to the Portland RV show today, and that meant rearranging my kitchen schedule. I've taken to planning the menu a week ahead, and then writing on the calendar when I will make things. Before instituting this policy, I had a bad habit of choosing certain highly perishable ingredients...cilantro, as an example...and then put off using it until the end. By the time I got around to using it, it was looking pretty sad. So now, I list and make those things first ...

Good morning, my friends. The atmospheric river we were expecting has arrived. It's been raining hard since yesterday afternoon. 

Mike has been busy the past couple of days getting us wired up for Starlink internet. We've been thinking about it for some time. Out here on the prairie, we don't have good choices for high speed internet. Starlink will allow us to have internet at home, and also while we're on the road. We'll also be able to stream television programming. When it's all hooked up we'll be able to discontinue our current ...

Good morning, my friends. My day turned into a kitchen day yesterday, although I had some time to get started on the quilting too. When I finished my slow-stitching, the kitties were champing at the bit to get outside. I'm pretty sure I heard Sadie discussing how happy she was to be finished with the paper-piecing. Smitty had to agree, although of the two helpers, he was the most charitable.
