What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I am so tempted to start another quilt for more variation but I won’t LOL – I know the Christmas quilt won’t take a long time to make so I will wait until I’m done but I will start thinking about it in the meantime and I do think it will be something to use […]

Some progress was made with the flannel.  And the second tree panel was done – once again there were a few cutting mistakes which I didn’t notice until I picked up the pieces somehow they had gotten turned to the reverse side of the fabric before I cut making the angle go in the wrong […]

I can now say The Rose Garden is half way done! From what was quilted on Wednesday night What it looks like rolled down last night Noriko’s Star – the rows are getting shorter and going faster Silent Night – I got the angles cut off on the next tree, the heart appliqued in place […]

Every couple months I change the quilt on my bed – I like to rotate them out so they all get some use.  With these photos you can see why I make my bed size quilts so large – I have a high off the floor bed and I like a lot of coverage – […]

I like to work on a little bit of everything, I have a hand piece project going – the hexagons.  Hand quilting and machine piecing.  If the new quilt goes as smoothly for the rest of the blocks I should have this top done in about 3 weeks!  Linking to Wednesday Wait Loss 450 Silent […]

I showed the flannel the other day for Silent Night and totally forgot to unfold pieces to get to the second layers – almost every green piece actually had another piece behind it.  Two pieces folded together – I knew I had ordered a brown piece and didn’t see it.  I started to unfold pieces […]

I decided before I could get started making the flannel quilt  I needed to clean off the table and put things away.  I had fabric and the fabric still sitting out from Under the Big Top and a box of extra gray fabric that needed to be put away.  That was done first and I […]

I was glad to see my package arrived and that everything was in the box – I say that as it was sitting by the door this morning obviously having been opened and a piece of duck tape holding it shut with a note on it saying ” sorry I opened this by mistake” – […]

It is amazing how different the lighting can be for taking photos.  I went into the sewing room about 7:30 yesterday morning and looked at the Rose Garden without any extra light except what was coming through the window – the quilting shows up very good.  You can see every line. Linking to Patchwork and […]

I just really didn’t do much yesterday I was lazy.  I worked on hexies like usual and finished more.  Next row is all white with one black at the end and I think the next one has a red flower? We will see. More quilting on The Rose Garden I’m in the center of the […]

Back to summer weather for the next 10 days – it looks like last week the weathermen screwed up when they said September would be cooler than usual – we are looking at 90/95 for the next 10 days – oh well I enjoyed some nice days on the porch for the past week. More […]

Nothing much is changing here – the same three projects are getting worked on day in and day out it seems. The hexies were brought outside again to work on – I think yesterday was our last cool day and today will be back in the mid-80’s then we are moving back to the 90’s […]

The border is now cut for Under the Big Top and I hope to work on it this week and get it in the “to be quilted” box – I have no idea when it will be quilted I think there are 5 or so quilts in the box and at least one of them […]

Once again I sat down for a very short while and got a tiny bit of quilting done on The Rose Garden – every little bit gets me closer to the finish line. You can barely see where I quilted because of the color of the prints and thread but there are 3 straight lines […]

I showed the Christmas quilt pattern yesterday that I had gotten  It is called Silent Night and it is a Edyta Sitar design.  I think this one would look good in flannels.  I thought I had plenty to use for some of the quilt from my scrap boxes but I didn’t have near what I […]

I didn’t get much done yesterday as I was doing last minute laundry and stuff before Mike takes it over for a little bit but I did finish the row of hexies that I started on a day or so ago.  I got a lap “desk” that might come in handy the next month or […]

The circles are all finished on Under the Big Top with the prep work and ready for applique.  This quilt is supposed to have a border on it yet but at this point I am undecided if I will make one – possibly a sashing all around in red finishing with another a little wider […]

I managed to get a little more done on “Under the Big Top” but still have 2 more corners to do – I had taken a photo on the previous days post of the whole quilt so far so this is just the top right corner pieces – I make sure I have a photo […]

Someone suggested “Under the Big Top” for Georgetown going with the circus them I mentioned it reminded me of – what do you all think on that one?  I did get a little more rearranging done on the circles. I got the circles prepped – edges turned under and pinned in place on the upper […]

Yesterday I was out of town most of the day getting the pre-testing stuff done and going over information for the surgery next week so I was exhausted by time we got home.  But I still do a little bit while sitting around. Another row of hexies is ready to add – I’ll do that […]
