What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

The accuquilt was busy yesterday but I just wasn’t into working for awhile at cutting and moved on to other things – like looking for canning jars LOL- I think everyone else was too and all that were left were half-pints that I don’t need.  The tomatoes can wait another day and will look some […]

Yesterday morning first thing I put more tomatoes in the crockpot for the Marinara Sauce – while it was simmering away I was able to sit and sew and got all the blocks done that I had cut out – now today I need to cut more strips and cut the squares with the Accuquilt.  […]

Yesterday we celebrated the 4th at home by ourselves.  We had no plans and it was pretty much just another day for us.  Grass was cut, regular jobs around the house and I got down to work on the toddler quilt. I made a bunch of 9 patch blocks and got them cut in half […]

It was such a busy day, I don’t know how I fit it all in one day.  Started the day with picking berries and tomatoes once again – it seems like I do this every other morning but this time I remembered to bring two baskets – which reminds me to pick up another one […]

Yesterday I started to work on the toddle scrappy quilt – well scrappy in a way – the fabric line is a bunch of fat quarters that were in a bundle – so they are coordinated but yet this is a scrappy quilt if you know what I mean. I am cutting one strip to […]

I finished the binding yesterday and got the  doll quilt washed and dried and pleased to say it only shrunk an inch on all sides – it is now 23×23 inches nice size for baby or doll.  Linking to From Bolt to Beauty — Wendy’s Quilts and More — It was another hot one although […]

The binding on the doll quilt was put on now to do the hand stitching – it shouldn’t take real long it is small.  I don’t usually pin the whole thing in place I don’t know why I did this time but it is now ready to work on. The section I was working on […]

It was another canning day yesterday with some other errands thrown in.  We needed to drop off the car in town to get a new windshield – this was not storm damage but a stone thrown off of a jeep ahead of us last week that cracked our windshield and it needed to be replaced […]

I really don’t care for machine quilting but I can do it.  I do not do free motion I have tried a couple times and the back of the project always looks horrible so I stick with straight lines or a wavy line that I can set on the machine and that is what I […]

I did work on the doll quilt yesterday and have the top basted – the backing is the same as the sashing strips are – I will machine quilt this little quilt but I don’t know if I will get to it today, we are expecting our younger daughter for part of the day and […]

Finally I finished the 3 blocks needed and got done with the top for the doll quilt – it is 24.5 x 24.5 – now to get it layered and quilted – I will do this one by machine. It is very scrappy and not all the sashing strips are the same size – just […]

I was busy all day – starting with a visit to the clinic because of a strained muscle in my lower back – lifting the canner full of water perhaps when processing the jam and marinara sauce? My arms aren’t really strong and as I age they get weaker – time to get back to […]

I decided to get my fabric ready for the disappearing nine patch toddle quilt – I still have the doll quilt to finish up but I needed a change – these creases were so bad – I have had the fabric bundle for over a year without opening it so I thought washing it would […]

Yesterday I got done with the section I was working on for Noriko’s Star outside before it got too hot I joined it to the triangle section that I got done with a couple weeks ago And got that section added to the top – major progress – next up I will work on one […]

I really need to get the doll quilt finished and then move on to the toddler quilt and get that one done but I find I did nothing but look at fabric and designs. I am thinking of a one block repeat for the toddler quilt and pulled out the fabric bundles that I have […]

We were without power almost all day yesterday – around 1 AM on Sunday morning we had a bad thunderstorm that turned into a tornado warning and then the power went out.  The storm didn’t last real long and only got about 1/2 inch of rain from it, several branches down that weren’t dead and […]

Just not much to share today – I didn’t do much yesterday – mainly went shopping and read a book.  I have been caught up in old Harry Bosch books and I do find them good. When shopping I bought a new plant for the porch – I do hope it won’t die on me […]

In between reading an old Harry Bosch book I was busy working on numerous things – kind of hopping from one thing to the next – and cleaned two more outside windows.  The inside I had been keeping up with – but the outside not so much. I think I have decided on a change […]

I was busy all day with grocery shopping, work in the garden, cleaning several windows – I’m trying to get caught up on windows that didn’t get done when I had the walking boot on – now that my foot is better it is time to get caught up.   I have basil in the dehydrator […]

We had a really good thunderstorm come through on early  Wednesday morning – it knocked over the Bee Balm – which I later staked up and knocked two green tomatoes to the ground – they are now on the windowsill – everything else came though ok it looked like – we needed the 2.25 inches […]
