What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Well after I moved everything around on my tables on Saturday I thought I better try the new arrangement out to make sure it would work – it didn’t!!  I was very unhappy with it and put everything back where it was. Why you might ask – I wasn’t thinking of how warm the desk […]

With the extra supports up on the shelves to hold my Accuquilt system (all the dies) it was time to figure out how to rearrange my tables so that I could keep my Go Big out all the time and not keep folding it up and putting it behind my sewing machine – this machine […]

We had rain – not a lot – but 3/4” is better than nothing and it was a slow light rain so it was soaking in.  Maybe more today and Sunday – I hope and it was much cooler in the 80’s the weatherman was saying though not to get used to it that we […]

This little quilt is growing slowly I am only working on it about a week at a time for the last couple months although the quilt was started last year (before I went and decided to make 5 RSC quilts).  To get these small Friendship Stars moving along a little faster I took time to […]

Just a few more stars done for the Rose Garden  – I was going to do more but I spent part of the morning trying out the new car by taking it to a doctor appointment that is about 35 minutes from me – the dermatologist – I had 3 things on my back for […]

Even though it is hot every single day we have been getting out a little bit – normal for us after we get a new car, we just want to keep trying it out!  We drove to Petit Jean State Park which is about 40+miles from us – it had been ages since we have […]

Finally got the Rose Garden back out to play with for a couple days – when I last left off on this quilt I had decided to put a border of “friendship stars” around it – I’m pretty sure that is what you all told me the name of the blocks.  I am using pieces […]

I don’t remember if I mentioned we got a new car at the end of last week, that was the day I said we were out of town all day – we have been running around trying it out – learning all the stuff that goes with a “modern” car – let me put it […]

We were out of town all day yesterday getting home late so I didn’t spend time sewing – I did get this quilting done on Thursday night on Love Letters A close up – linking up to Patchwork and Quilts — and another

While working on the small quilt for the Fat Quarter Shop that I can’t share right now I am also work on hexies and other things here and there – like looking through my thread for the next quilt on the frame – which will be Yuletide Gatherings – the flannel quilt mainly from the […]

Moving on to the next sections of Noriko’s Star will be a little complicated for awhile as I figure out placement – there will be six sides (I think that this row of turquoise color) hexies will be in One area is sewn in place and working on the second – the area in between […]

I didn’t count the hexies on Noriko’s Star but I did lay it down to measure it And the opposite way A long way to go! More hexies made And a little thread basting happened – blue is the next color to add – then some yellow, orange and black. Love Letters progress from Monday […]

Norkio’s Star –  enclosed the center “circle” not really a circle but close LOL – now on to the next step and I need to look the pattern over well today and figure out what color – colors –  are next – as I have mentioned I am making this quilt going by a photo […]

So many have said they think the Carpenter’s Wheel must be difficult – break it down in sections and it goes together rather easily – really.  I was working on the last quarter and started to take photos as I put it together.  Here you can see where I join pieces together Then start to […]

Two quilts were worked on and I actually worked on the hexies for about 40 minutes yesterday morning on the porch while listening to an audio book – Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter – this is not a new book and not part of a series, I didn’t remember it but knew I had read […]

Nothing was done on the Carpenter’s Wheel even though I had planned to press and cut fabric and even get started on it – fabric was selected and that was it.  I am linking to SoScrappy for the RSC challenge, for some reason I haven’t been able to link a photo to her blog this […]

Progress – the last July block for Arkansas Traveler was completed – I guess that took about 30 minutes of my time yesterday Putting the blocks on the wall to join the others, taking the photo and then taking all the blocks down stacking them up to put away for another month probably took another […]

I managed to get two more of the blocks done so that leaves one more Traveler block to make – I would have went ahead and finished the 4th but when the seam ripper needs to come out to play frustration takes over – I managed to fix the bad area and then laid out […]

Just a little bit done yesterday – well a little bit to me.  I got some work done on Noriko’s Star – ok more than a little bit considering I was thread basting the day before One of the four Arkansas Traveler blocks And one more laid out and ready for today – I would […]

Pressing fabric and cutting fabric for the Arkansas Traveler blocks takes a little extra time as there are a bit more pieces in this one then some of the the other tops I’m making.  Accidently I placed some purple pieces wrong – just wasn’t looking and had too much chopped off an some of then […]
