What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Another Sunday has come around and for the link up with Kathy at Slow Sunday Stitching group I will most likely be getting in more stitches on Noriko’s Star last corner which has been coming along pretty good.  I will finish the link up this morning.  Also linking to Kate’s Life in PIeces On Saturday […]

First shipping said I would get my fabric that I needed to finish Silent Night on the 8th then it said the 14th and then it came yesterday – that’s ok, I was glad to get it.  Linking to Quilting Patchwork Applique today Even so I wasn’t able to get started cutting the first section […]

It was one of those days when not much sewing got done.  I had laundry going and the closet was dried out and aired out from the hot water heater leaking like crazy – we wanted to make sure the floor was completely dried out before filling it back up so had a fan in […]

With all 8 trees the Silent Night quilt is getting near completion.  Now I need to decide will all the trees stay where they are or move around?  I have some white flannel strips to add here and there and then the Santa and the border.  I ordered a piece of red and a piece […]

I didn’t machine stitch yesterday but I did get another tree cut out this will be the last tree to sew for Silent Night. More hexies were put together and now I need to watch for placement of the flowers – I almost got this row thread basted when I remember it might be time […]

What started out to be a lazy Sunday of hand stitching and reading turned into clean up mode instead – we discovered the hot water heater was leaking all over the place.  It is inside of a closet area so we were getting rid of water, emptying the area of the closet close to it […]

My blog server keeps crashing so if you are having trouble opening my blog the last couple days that is what is going on – I have no clue when they will straighten it out it seems to do this every couple weeks lately. For this Sunday’s Slow Stitching with Kathy (I will add the […]

It was supposed to be hot yesterday I thought they had said near 90 I was surprised that it was 82 for the high and a nice breeze on the front porch – I spent more time sitting and reading outside than I had in a couple weeks.  The current author I am reading free […]

I decided to stick with those colors for the tree for now and if I want I can change it out later.  No matter how I changed the lighting the color would not come out right on the wall.  Way too dark. So I moved it and laid it down on the quilting frame under […]

I didn’t get around to sewing anything on the flannels but I do have one tree cut out – I’m not sure if I will like it in this color but I’m giving it a shot. If I don’t like it I have enough fabric still to make four trees – the one above would […]

I was able to sit longer at the sewing machine yesterday and I got another tree done for Silent Night.  This one done in blue.  I left the bottom strip off on that one as it connects to the one underneath it – if I need to fudge it a little bit by adding a […]

Three corners are done and on the quilt – Noriko’s Star is nearly finished.  One more corner to make and add. In certain light outside but I have not noticed inside is that the white in the quilt if you hadn’t noticed is actually white and cream.  Today in the photo you can notice.  The […]

I worked some more on the house/star panel for Silent Night and that section is now done and I will make the last tree for the top half of the quilt or start to today that is.  The bottom half has four more trees and a tall Santa. More hexie work got done – Melanie […]

Off and on yesterday I was mainly working on the hexies.  I did not sit at the sewing machine and the 3rd corner is done and ready to attach to the main body of the quilt.  After I worked some on it Friday night I was mainly just left with this much to do. And […]

Noriko’s Star is growing and growing and the 3rd corner might be done any day now.  I worked on it a little more off and on yesterday and last night.  The next two rows have 3 white hexies and one black and it goes down in the count from there. I have not been putting […]

Only in the 70’s yesterday – it felt so nice!  I was outside a little looking over my houseplants to see what needs to be re-potted before I bring them back in.  One of the Xmas Cactus’s has a bit chip out of the top on one side and a crack – I’m surprised it […]

Well after fixing the mistake on the house (thanks to one reader who noticed it wasn’t the windows wrong it was the whole section turned upside down!! lol) it looked a lot better – I only had to take the brown strip off turn the section and sew the strip in the right place – […]

Yesterday afternoon I got busy cutting and piecing the new flannel house for Silent Night – I’m satisfied with the change. Started with cutting sections and then sewing sections Late in the afternoon I quit as the storms were coming in and I could hear thunder in the distance – it was time to unplug […]

I didn’t work much on things yesterday.  I did get other flannel colors out started to look at those and I do believe the beige flannel will be the house – now to decide on colors of windows and other things on.  The door maybe the light purple, the blue for the windows – green […]

After making the flannel house yesterday I decided I did not like it – the colors just weren’t right.  I have enough of the flannel – enough to do it over again and so that is what I will do.  Although I thought I followed the cutting directions correctly some of the pieces seem to […]
