What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 It's true.  My friend, Christine and I have attended two quilting retreats in March, two weeks apart.  (We won't mention that we were away for a week at the end of February at QuiltCon in Raleigh, NC...).  This is the end of our quilting retreats for until November, when we have two more. We are both very productive on the retreats and manage to get lots of sewing done.  It's amazing what you can accomplish over the course of 2 1/2 or 3 days of concentrated time with no cooking, dishes and other distractions!  I spent ...

Slow Sunday Stitching @ Kathy's Quilts

It has been a weekend of heavy rain and now clearing skies

 in my corner of the world.

The forecast is for more spring like weather.

We were able to ...

Good afternoon, my friends. Did you remember to spring ahead today? And just because I worded the question that way, please don't feel obligated to "spring." If you prefer, you can just sit down and slide one hour ahead. It's perfectly fine.

I am home from QuiltCon!  My friend, Christine, and I had a wonderful time meeting quilters from all over the world, attending lectures, looking at all of the quilts and shopping!  I have participated in the #makeaminimakeafriend swap at QuiltCon twice in the past and signed up again this year.  This past fall, I was told my swap partner was Katie in Oregon.  I asked her to make something that told me about where she lived and she told me she likes fall colours. I did not pick out fabrics or do any sewing until January but I was spending ...

Good morning, my friends. I have a few things to tell you, and then I'm back into spasmodic blogging at least until we get down the road some. We've been watching the weather very carefully. We had what we like to refer to as a "false spring" here in the Pacific Northwest. We had three lovely days of sunshine and warmth, but we're promised the return of cold and wet this week. It's still dry so far, but we could see more freezing temperatures before we leave. It makes it hard to prepare because we can ...

 Almost all of my sewing time this week was spent making a wall hanging for a swap which will take place next week.  I have spent months ruminating over a design and colours and fabrics.  I am really pleased with the end result and am in the process of adding the hand stitches to the binding and hanging sleeve.  I will show my finished quilt and the quilt that I receive from my swap partner in my next blog post. 

Good morning, my friends. It's true I didn't think I would be blogging today, but here I am. You know me...such a blabbermouth. After today, I am going to take a couple of days off. The carpet installation is set for tomorrow. We've been getting little reminder emails and texts from the crew that will be here to do it. All I know is that it will be nice to have things put back where they belong. New soft carpet on bare feet will be nice too.

My energy all went to slow-stitching yesterday. I'm ...

Good morning, my friends. It was way too early when I awakened this morning. Right away, my brain went to work thinking of everything under the sun...both important and not...and my night of sleep was over. This often happens when we're anticipating something new or big or uncertain or exciting or whatever. Anything different, and my brain becomes a noisy place. Of course, we're thinking about our carpet installation on Monday. There is still a little bit of prep work to do. Also this morning I was thinking about our upcoming trip, beginning in March. This ...
