What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Curves, Still using the scraps from this one!

 Well here on the banks of the Great Lakes, we are still waiting for spring to arrive.  I'm not sure how much snow and cold this girl can take but I'm getting close to my limit.  More daylight has helped though, and I started a new sleep routine ...working back to my goal of 8 hrs a night...every night.  I'm quite sure I haven't done that since the early 2000's so this ought to be interesting.

The nights I'm getting over 7 hours, I'm ...

I think it would have been great to use for the challenge, but I had already thought of the flower, and wanted to make that.  I realized with the small scraps I have, that I could cut out the zig ...

My last project turned out to be much bigger than could be completed in a week, I decided to make a potholder quilt, and managed to finish one "potholder" in time for the challenge, but that left three more to finish in my off week. (An off week is the week between the challenge weeks). I already had projects to work on during the off week, so this just added to the load. By the way, I consider the ...

As for effort....well think about it...how hard is it anymore to whip your phone out of your back pocket, pick a gift on Amazon and press ...

Good morning, my friends. It was all sewing all the time yesterday...except for the three loads of laundry I did. Aside from that sewing, and more sewing. I had just one more kit that I brought from home...this "Carrot Top" kit.

It was a rainy and windy day yesterday. It was a good day for sewing. My goal was to sew together the quilt top I'd kitted up before we left home back in December...this one.

We were keeping a special eye on this thug hummingbird viciously guarding the feeder. (This was the first day we've had visitors to our ...

Good morning, my friends. A serious case of the lazies has befallen us here in Nevada. Sadie is channeling the energy level in the RV right now.

Now, I've moved my hoop up and to the left, and I'll continue on there this morning.

Good morning, my friends. We had another do-nothing day. Kitties are very good at doing nothing.

Good morning, my friends. Today I can reveal my “Motion” quilt for The Endeavourers art quilt group, but before I do, lets catch up on what happened yesterday, shall we? And let me just tell you, we made good on our goal to do nothing for the entire day. It's good to attain one's goals, wouldn't you agree?

I spent some time on my slow-stitching, finishing off the right side of the turtle.

Then I came across a quote on Instagram that caught my eye:

Change is made like a quilt: piece by piece together.

I really liked it, and it is short so I decided to embroider it on my little quilt.  I really enjoyed the handwork on my last week's entry, so ...

Good morning, my friends. I’m writing before we leave the RV park this morning, so I’ll have to tell you about today’s drive in tomorrow’s post. When I left you yesterday, we were preparing to head over to a nearby Mexican restaurant for margaritas and dinner. As it turned out, the restaurant was a sort of a fast food place with drive-thru service only. We weren’t up for that, and so we went to a different place across the street called “Wood Almond.” It turned out to be a good choice with some unusual items ...

Good morning, my friends. We're in the waning days of the year with Christmas just around the corner. Today I'll need to get serious about preparing for our trip. Yesterday, I spent some time checking the lists I'd made to see what's already packed and what still needs packing. (Some things live in the RV full time, but I sometimes need refills or updates.) Today I'll start doing some of the cook-ahead items, starting with the Frozen Breakfast Burritos. They're good any time, but they're especially nice when we're driving from one ...

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.
