What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Finally after about 4 or 5 days I got block 7 Honeyeater done!  Most of this block didn’t cause problems it was the skinny dark strips that did me in – for some reason I kept turning things backwards or something.  I am not dyslexic but sometimes when I need to reverse things in sewing […]

Done!  I couldn’t get any outside photos of Rainbow Crossings – kind of damp out there and a lot of dirt from cutting grass the other day mulching all the old leftover fall leaf’s up.     This quilt was started with Rainbow Scrap Challenge at the end of January 2022.  And finished yesterday with the last […]

Took the final stitches last night in the binding for Rainbow Crossings – today I will wash and dry the quilt and try to get some shots outside if it didn’t rain much in the night.  We were to get bad storms but as I was writing this last night they were down grading the […]

Before I show garden photos I’ll update my quilting stuff. Some more binding got done and 3 sides are now done.  Just a photo of it all folded up but take my word for it – a little bit of knitting actually gone done too.  I need to measure it again so I can see […]

Yesterday was a beautiful day.  I did spend sometime inside but in the afternoon got out for a walk.  The turtles were out. Melanie and her dog – the trees are leafing out and the sun was shining – we saw no snakes and no alligators! Don’t mind seeing the alligators if they are out […]

Today for Slow Sunday Stitching I will work on my various projects – I haven’t touched the hexies in several days so I might get those out as well although I hadn’t cut anymore – I will need to soon go through colors and get more cut.  But for now I will continue on the […]

Binding was worked on and progress on Rainbow Crossings – one side done and about a third of the second side. Quilting from Thursday night on Court Jesters An overall view – linking to So Scrappy – Court Jesters was started as a RSC22 quilt with colors of the month chosen for the Snail Trail […]

The first border is done – cross hatching to me moves fast. The next step was not as easy – trying to figure out how to quilt the rest.  I want the design to stand out and we will soon see if it works – if not – well I’m not unpicking LOL.  I will […]

Binding is made for Rainbow Crossings and the intention is to do the machine stitching to the front and then work on the hand stitching for the next week or so to get it done. Ready to stitch linking to My Quilt Infatuation – I did get the batting pieced that was left over from […]

On Saturday night I finished the quilting on Rainbow Crossings. Unrolled it – this was the backing in case you forgot what it looked like – I did LOL Got the ends trimmed down and measured – I need a good 400 inches of binding plus extra for seams and turning corners I will do […]

One more section done and being attached.  I was asked if this top is heavy – I guess because of the papers?  I take the papers out as I join sections so the only paper in it is around the edges so I don’t find it any heavier than any other quilt this size and […]

When it rains here we really get rain it seems – yesterday it started some time in the early morning I heard it when I was still in bed – then it quit then it came back and off and on all day – ended with 3.5 inches of rain and flooded the yard of […]

One day it is 40 degrees and two days later 78, humid and so humid in the house I put the A/C on in the evening to chase the humidity out!  crazy. I said I was going to take a couple days away from the sewing machine and I didn’t touch it other to make […]

I really didn’t work on a lot yesterday.  I didn’t want to move forward on Arkansas Traveler as I just didn’t feel like – after finishing one top and nearly finished with the quilt on the frame I decided to just go slow yesterday .  I cleared out all the dead stuff on the hydrangea […]

Yesterday some of you saw that the blog was saying I was hacked or words to that effect – I don’t remember now exactly what it said – I was not hacked – it was some kind of glitch in the program – my hosting service with Mike on this end got it taken care […]

UPDATE:  This morning some of you saw a “security” issue on the blog – there was no security issue but some kind of “glitch” in the blog – Mike contacted the bluehost hosting service and got it fixed.  No troubles – fixed it in a chat. Court Jester is just about done but I just […]

Rainbow Crossings is coming to an end.  I forgot to take photos of the last sections I was quilting on row 10 but I did get one after I got the quilt ready for the last row of quilting – I always detach the top from the back roller at this point and pin it […]

Finally yesterday as it was such a chilly breezy day I was inside sewing and got all the rows together – now a border and it will be ready to go on the quilting frame next.  But first I will need to get this pressed good today before I cut out pieces for a border.  […]

Getting close to an end on this top – I have two more rows to sew together and then as you can see in the photo I have the top half of rows sew but the bottom half will need to have those two bottom rows sewed and then to the bottom half and then […]

It was such a cool rainy day yesterday – Melanie got bronchitis so was home from work Friday so I’ll volunteer in her department on Monday instead, she is on medications so should feel better then.  I do craft type stuff with her and a little shelving and not trained for other areas (special events […]
