What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. We're looking at a break in the rain for the next several days. We had rain off and on yesterday. There was enough dry weather for Mike and the other neighbor men to get out for some trenching and graveling a drainage area at the end of our driveway. It seems water runs downhill from our house into the neighbor's yard, and the deluge is eroding an embankment they want to preserve. After discussing it with the neighbors, it was decided to put a "French drain" at the end of our driveway. (Yeah...don ...

Good morning, my friends. It was kind of a ho-hum day...just the way I like it. I spent quite a bit of time in the morning stitching away at the Bicycles and Lace piece. I'm nearly finished with the "Rosy Pink" bicycle, and looking at this, I decided to move my hoop to the right some.

Good morning, my friends. 'Tis the season to work on my seasonal quilts, apparently, because that was how I spent my day yesterday. Sadie was there to help.

Smitty's job was to mind the rulers. 

With so much help, it was easy finishing off the quilt top for the Seasons quilt.

And I guess I won't be traveling south to The Cotton Patch after all because I took a second look at my stash and came up with these two long-time residents. I had three yards of each, which was ...

 Christmas 2024 has come and gone and we are now in that quieter time between December 25th and New Year's Day. I blogged earlier in the week about some of the gifts I made this year and you can read about them here.  I have been doing some reading and cross stitching every day--ahhhh! The lower left square will eventually be a picture of an owl...

Finn loves a squeaky toy and ...

I worked on the last Christmas gifts that I am making today--one is done and the other is very close to completion.  Pictures to follow in a few days... The secret sewing season will soon be over for another year. 

I made some progress on my winter counted cross stitch project this week.  The Christmas tree is done and the next part of this quadrant is started.  I did quite a bit of the framing on this quadrant too. There's a reason why they call this slow stitching...  it gets done slowly, one stitch at a time.  I enjoy ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a soggy day yesterday. It rained the whole live-long day. It doesn't really matter to me. It's too cold to be outside anyway. We've had some beautiful weather this fall, and so we can hardly complain now that it's doing what we should have expected all along. It's definitely good sewing weather.

Since I'd missed my slow-stitching the day before, I spent a little extra time on that yesterday morning.

Good morning, my friends. It looks as if our weather will clear up a day earlier than expected. I'm looking out my window at bright daylight and blue skies. You can't ask for more than that in Oregon in December. It has been chilly. Recently I realized I was going to need to start wearing my heavier winter coat. My Gore-Tex rain parka is no longer doing the job of keeping me warm.

So just what's going on around here? Well...I finished stitching the last block for Joy in the Ordinary.

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to December. It's a frosty and chilly morning here at the Three Cats Ranch. I imagine that will come as no surprise to those of you in the Midwest and the Northeast. You guys are probably digging out this morning. So sorry. I told this story to a Facebook friend yesterday: I once took a chemistry lab class in college. At one point during a day’s class period, we heard the unmistakable sound of a flask breaking and someone’s experiment results literally going down the drain. From the back corner of ...
