What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 We are in the "between the holidays" period right now...I love this time of year...quiet after the busy-ness of Christmas and before a new round of activities start up in January.  I have been spending my time reading and crafting and watching movies with my husband and daughter.  

I have one more gift of Christmas to share with you...  I made this vinyl fronted zipper pouch for my daughter for her crafting projects.  As you already know, she is an avid crocheter and embroiderer/cross stitcher so this pouch will be put to good use.  I picked some ...

Good morning, my friends. We're counting down the days until D-Day, one week from today. This coming week is going to be very busy. Happily, we'll get a break when we join the rest of the family for Christmas Eve dinner at Erik and Mae's house. I offered to bring something, but I'm told they have it handled. There's still a little bit of Christmas baking on my list. Aside from that, my holiday cooking responsibilities are complete. 

My yesterday started with Tiny Treasure #32. This one has stem stitch and straight stitch.

Good morning, my friends. We had a relatively nice day of weather yesterday. Mike took the opportunity to check the suspension on the fifth wheel. The last time we used the fifth wheel was for our eclipse trip in the spring of 2024. On that trip, two leaf springs on the fifth wheel had to be replaced on the road. It's good that he checked it and found everything in order. 

He brought the fifth wheel up from its usual space a couple of weeks ago, and he's been working away on it ever since. He's cleaned ...

Good morning, my friends. It seems as if a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since the last time we talked. When I left you on Friday, I was preparing to take Eliza in for a spa treatment. That turned into practically an all-day affair. We dropped off the machine, but I'd left the bobbin casing at home. The technician said it was better to adjust the tension if they had the bobbin casing. I said I'd go home, get it, and bring it back, but whoa. That was quite a journey. It's an hour ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday. During the presidential campaign, I was amused when Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania said, "My team is guided by three letters every single day: G-S-D." And, if you missed that, he spelled it out..."Getting sh*t done." When I can cross everything off a day's to-do list, I announce it to Mike: "I got sh*t done today." Admittedly, I didn't start sewing together the Merry, Merry Snowmen yesterday, but I got a lot of other stuff done.

First, I finished off My Embroidered Garden.

Good morning, my friends. Gee, it's nice to see some blue sky and sunshine. It was a nice day yesterday, and it's looking like it will be a nice day again today. I was able to get outside for a while. The last dahlia is cut back now. I'd hoped some of the other buds might open, but they were still in tight green marbles when I looked at it. No chance they'll bloom before the first frost sets in. 

The only thing to do now is to look forward to spring when things will start ...

Good morning, my friends. We had another day of rain...some wind, but not as much as we expected. Mike tells me the storm came at us from the south. Since we're just over the crest of our hill on the north side of the mountain, we had a bit of shelter from the wind. Once again, Sadie gave an excellent demonstration on how to spend a wet and windy day. She is an expurrt at this.
