What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Well a little hand work went on here on Sunday and some piecing by machine.  Garden work in that I picked strawberries and got over 5 cups of them. I was over eager and should have let some of these get a little redder but they are still tasty. Two of the black borders are […]

Before I left for the show I couldn’t get my blog to publish on Thursday morning I think it is working now after doing a test when I got home on Saturday evening.   I took too many photos and will need to go through them.  I did see some of the same quilts that I […]

The top and bottom borders of Sunny Daze are now on the quilt and the borders for the sides are ready for applique. I moved one border over to the quilting frame for the glue to finish hardening while I worked on the table.  I did take one border into the living room while the […]

I am now ready to attach the top and bottom borders to Sunny Dazes and get on to the side borders.  I’m moving slower on it then I intended to as with the warmer weather comes garden work.  I hope to get the borders attached today and glue baste the half plates in place for […]

On Saturday was my blog anniversary – I forgot to mention that – I started this blog on April 19, 2007 – 18 years!! wow how time flies – my first post is here.  It was short and to the point – I think the first year was kind of like that, not sure what […]

One more half plate was appliqued down for the Sunny Daze quilt two more to go on the top border.  I can get done with these in less than an hour if I’m not distracted.  It shouldn’t take long to get them all done but as you know I get easily distracted.  It is all […]

Yesterday was an inside outside day it was breezy and humid and up to 80.  The A/C came on for awhile – it is that humidity that does it. The bottom border of Sunny Daze was completed for the applique, linking to Patchwork & Quilts & SoScrappy as finally I have some progress on the […]

I can’t believe the New York Beauty has been taking so long to quilt.  I can tell I have really slowed down but also the batiks are harder than usual for me to quilt through – possibly a combination of the fabric and my hands getting worse.  I will just keep on going with it.  […]

I decided to glue baste the half plates down on the top and lower borders for Sunny Daze and then machine sew those two borders in place – then I need to get the correct measurement of the sides for the side borders before I get those six plates glue basted down.  I do have […]

I finished getting the half Dresden Plates ready for the borders.  All in pinned in place last night so I could look at it before I start to get the borders ready for stitching.  The top and bottom borders ended up just a little short so I need to add a piece to each end […]

Yesterday I got a little more piecing done and hope to get more done on the Dresden’s today but I have a dentist appointment (just a cleaning not work) and a few errands to run so who knows.  Two more of the half Dresden plates to stitch and then get the half circle in place.  […]

On Sunday I managed to get done with a little even though I started late in the afternoon. The black sashing is added to Sunny Daze and now I am ready to make four more half Dresden Plates.  Then those will be glue basted to the borders.  The borders will not be sewn down until […]

The Dresden quilt has finally made some progress.  The yellow block is done I decided to take it all off the wall and put a black sashing around the 9 inside blocks  – cut and ready to sew.  Then the newsprint borders will be put back up and the half plates glue basted in place […]
