What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

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 […]

I am ready to start the Pickle Dish blocks today if I have time.  I have a few things to do before I get to sew today – After I spent time cutting – this block takes longer because of how many pieces are in each block I got one block laid out and ready […]

Yesterday morning we had driven out to my brother’s farm about 25 miles from us to pick up some beef and had a good tour of new things on the farm – 3 greenhouses now – he was busy tilling some of the vegetable rows when we got there in the long garden rows on […]

Yesterday I really wanted to get more hexagons cut for Noriko’s Star which meant I needed to get the table cleared off – it was covered with Pickle Dish pieces.  So first I tackled that.  This time I decided to spray starch the larger pieces and see if that would help my piecing a little […]

A very nice day yesterday outside if the wind hadn’t of been so strong.  I did get all the plants uncovered once again and moved the pine needles to the side – keeping them handing in case we have a late March frost so I can cover plants up easily.  Right now the forecast is […]

For Slow Sunday Stitching with Kathy and the gang I will work off and on stitching my hexies.  I am in the process of attaching these three segments to the center They need to go in these spaces And when attached the very center will be done – there is no pattern for this quilt […]

Melanie was over for lunch and stayed a couple hours while she was here I was working on hexies while she worked on some stitching.  She was just starting a new project so there wasn’t anything really to show on hers. I made progress – I almost got the third section done – the next […]

The final arcs are made for the Pickle Dish – now to see if I can get them attached before Melanie arrives for our birthday meal with Melanie – I decided to get the arcs done first as they are easy to do and do not need pinning – now the curves need to be […]

Yesterday I just didn’t feel like sewing machine work so I put some old shows on that I had been watching and basted hexies – I have them all ready now to piece the next section of the center together.  I lay a 12.5 inch ruler over this to hold everything in place when I […]

I’m moving slow on this one really trying to get it right so two down two to go.  I’m not perfectly satisfied with them – but good enough to make it work! Getting the correct amount of hexies out to thread baste for the next section and took all the papers out of the back […]

While deciding what to do with the Feathered Star I have decided to move on to the Pickle Dish – this is the last of 7 – or is it 6 now?- RSC quilts that I am making.  I will be glad to move on from aqua for sure and I know I need to […]

I was going to start on the Rose Garden again after I finished my 6 RSC quilts this month but I changed my mind and will start on the flannel instead – I’m going to be using fairly big pieces.  I have picked out patterns and I started to rule them out for various reasons […]

The weatherman said Saturday that we would have rain all day and end with a trace of snow!  LOL – yup right wrong again – we did wake up to rain and it changed to heavy wet snow by 9AM or so – and snowed all day quitting around 5 or so in the early […]

Another busy day.  Of course I knew I would make a mistake on this block no matter how many times I double checked placement before I sewed.  I found one early on and got that one fixed and then totally missed the last one until it was done and I was standing back proudly looking […]
