What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I just didn’t get done with things yesterday that I had planned to, instead Mike and I were working together on some outside stuff and just a little sewing got done. A little hexie work Pieces are cut and ready to piece for the last NYB block Hunter’s Star quilting from Saturday night linking to […]

But I didn’t get around to making the block or even prepping the pieces.  I have the pattern ready to use though – I am linking to Quilting is More Fun than Housework –-Life in Pieces – The border which I know I have rarely shown is this But if I want a scrappy border […]

New York Beauty – the blocks are just about done – one more block to make after I finished this one yesterday – this block is called “Echidna” – 35 pieces in this one with the very long spikes – I do like those spikes What is a Echidna – it is sometimes referred to as […]

I have really liked selecting fabric for each block as I get to it for the New York Beauty.  It has been a little bit of a bother to get the containers of batiks out for each one but it is nice to not have stacks all over the place with a note on them […]

Only two more blocks left to make for New York Beauty and then the border – hard to believe it is finally coming to an end.  When I first started it I wondered if I would make all the blocks – and I admit there are a couple I skipped and replaced with a second […]

Yesterday was this and that and not sure what did I do all day besides read?  It started out so warm – got up to 80 briefly setting a record high for February – I went outside to the porch at about 11 for some reason not really looking at the temperature and it felt […]

I think from what I hear the weather is confused all over the States.  It got up to 78 yesterday, windows were opened and fresh air was coming in – it was much needed as on Saturday when cooking I had a bit of smoke in the kitchen from almost burning some food – I […]

Today other than being outside and grocery shopping I will work on Noriko’s Star and get this section of hexies part way done – I did work on it yesterday and it is going together well – I am linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching with Kathy.  Also linking to Life in Pieces — Quilting […]

Another NYB block done – I’m on a roll now – by the end of next week the blocks should be done and maybe work on the border will start?  This block is called Possum and the Australian Bush Possum looks a lot like ours in the states – I don’t care for them and […]

Another New York Beauty block done and really – truly this one was super easy – done in an hour or less – I should have started another but I had other things to do outside.  I’m not sure what I am doing today in the sewing room if anything – it is Melanie’s birthday […]

I must admit not much got done in the sewing room – it got up to 69 yesterday afternoon – need I say more on that! I did get the next pattern ready for the first of the final 7 blocks to make and the fabric picked – some of the pieces cut. What is […]

One row left to make!  First up I finished the block that I had almost done on yesterdays post – this block is the 2nd of the Koala block that was made a couple weeks ago.  There are several blocks that have been made twice in different color ways and there will be several more.  […]

Another cool day yesterday but warmth comes back all week and that will be so nice.   hope to still make progress in the sewing room each day. I will also be doing some outside stuff Yesterday I finished appliqueing the circle of the red Georgetown in place – that makes two down 6 more this […]

On to the last step of the Georgetown block in red – I finished the outer ring and pressed the seams open and have it centered on its background block ready to applique in place I started to work on it but didn’t get it finished.  I will work on that and hexies for Slow […]

I hope my readers well join me in saying hello to one of my readers who is suffering from terminal cancer.  Samantha’s husband reached out to me this week to tell me that Samantha from Vicksburg MS reads my blog often and loves my blog – and wanted me to know how sick she was.  […]

Yesterday was extremely busy – it was another day around 70 degrees so I was outside for a bit and then when I wore myself out I was inside working on my red block – Georgetown – all cut out. I started to sew the first circle and don’t think I had showed it with […]

More time looking through the reds, I was looking for fabric for the Georgetown blocks for red this month and got my little boxes out to look, then the box that had red scraps in it (I ended up packing them in a 3rd box instead of putting them aside to cut small squares) and […]

First another New York Beauty block finished – this make 9 blocks left to make!  This one is called “Hairy Nose Too” as there already was a Hairy Nose in a different row.  The block is exactly the same just different colors and facing a different direction.  Linking to Wednesday Wait Loss 367 — Midweek […]

Oh no – there are more – some I actually forgot about and one I didn’t forget but forgot to mention it.  Some of you will be familiar with the one I call “The Rose Garden” – the actual name for this one was “La Rosaraie” – I got part way done with it and […]

First of all I want to share the red and green blocks made for the RSC quilt Happy Daze for the link up today at SoScrappy – my background fabric arrived and it matches what I already had exactly so I will proceed to cut 9 blocks for the circles and get them appliqued in […]
