What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Finally I got all my pieces cut out for my star circle maybe I will start the machine work today and then one more to make – and I didn’t even realize that I cut another section out wrong until I looked at the photo just now – the light purple around the center star […]

Yesterday I was busy just didn’t see a lot of progress.  One would think it has been months since I made one of the large circle star blocks for the “Georgetown on My Mind” quilt with the mistakes I made with the templates.  It was like I totally forgot what colors went were and ended […]

Yesterday I was going through boxes of fabric trying to figure out what colors I will use for the last two circle star blocks for Georgetown – to remind you this is what it looked like last you saw it: I was going though one box after another and ended up taking all out of […]

I was able to get The Rose Garden on the quilting frame Saturday night and even started to quilt a little bit deciding what I was quilting at the time I was doing it. I am mainly outline stitching the stars and filling in straight lines here and there Here is a close up I […]

Friday night I completed the last part of the border of New York Beauty I unrolled it right away to take it off the frame – it could have waited until Saturday but why wait? LOL I really had no place to put it so just bunched it up and it was laying here for […]

I ran out of room in this box so thought I would start the piecing of the hexies and thread baste more of the white ones in awhile – I think I had about half of them done. I got my flannel board out which is not quite wide enough of course so the long […]

Yesterday I was working on hexies again for Noriko’s Star – it is amazing how many you can get done off and on all day if you sit and listen to a book and just get down to business – I do want to get the first corner done to see how it fits and […]

A little more progress on Georgetown – one more star point to make and two of the big blocks – I wonder what color July will be for the RSC group – we have the main colors already done as far as I can see. This one was ready for the applique and it got […]

Again yesterday I was listening to my book and working on hexies – I was able to be out for a little bit in the morning but I actually slept later than I normally do and it got hot fast again today – hotter than it had been today hitting 93 by early afternoon. So […]

That is the way I make circles – I was asked to show how I make mine.  I start with a template a  mylar circle – (that link will take you to the Fat Quarter shop) I have a lot of these all different sizes some are from Karen Kay Buckley and some of what […]

I have been having trouble with the blog so if you have trouble opening it up I am aware but nothing I can do about it – Mike says it is something to do with the host server. A little work on this and that and don’t feel like I accomplished much at all.  I […]

As you can tell there is no rush to get this quilt done.  I have plenty more to finish but just taking my time this year.  I got my scrap pieces back out and the freezer paper templates and got a star point done – I will see about doing another one today – it […]

First off yesterday I worked on the orange Georgetown block to get it finished – I forgot to press it before I put it up on the wall but that is ok they will all need to be pressed again anyhow – next time I get the iron out I will take care of some […]

For the next couple of days or three I will be busy with hand work.  I have the orange Georgetown block made into the circle and it is ready for the applique work now.  After this photo was taken I actually got started on it and maybe have a third of it done.  I was […]

I was busy yesterday trying to make progress for the lack of it over the weekend I guess and because I have several doctor appointments this week cutting some days short of sewing. First I worked on Georgetown and got the circle ready for the last step of applique to the big gray square – […]

This round of orange for the Georgetown block didn’t go on easy – I had to fix a few seams and press and press to get it to lay flat – finally it went down – one more round to go – I knew I would frustrated if I continued with it.  Sometimes pinning and […]

Yesterday I didn’t work on the hexies but at the sewing machine instead and made progress on the orange Georgetown block – I got the center ready for applique and finished that part of it. I did start on the next ring but didn’t get that finished – I will continue on that ring next. […]

I’ve had a little progress on Georgetown – the June color of the month is orange and while that is not my favorite color by any means I’m not sure what the remaining colors will be and I have two more of the smaller circle stars to make and I don’t want the middle one […]

While still taking it easy and resting my back I was busy piecing hexies and made huge progress – amazing what can get done if I sit longer than 15 minutes a day LOL and indulge in tv during the day which I usually do not do – binge watching a series on Prime.  Linking […]

I was sitting part of the day with the heat wrap around my back watching a series on TV and  working on hexies – this section will get done faster than others have – something about being the last section of Noriko’s Star before the corners makes you move faster. Also the star point for […]
