What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. We're back to our dark skies and drenching rains today. I'm worrying about you folks up in Washington. We have a trip planned in your area for next fall. I'm hopeful we won't have to change our plans after all the flooding y'all have experienced. That's a long time from now. Hopefully, it can all be set right between now and then. And if you're one of the folks whose home I saw with water up to the eaves...well, you have my sympathy. Having to change our plans ...

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. How is everyone doing? I'll admit I'm worried about you folks up there in Northwestern Washington. We passed through some of the areas I'm reading about both going to and coming from Alaska, and so it feels just a little personal.  If you're among the folks evacuated, then I hope this ends well for you. Having faced an evacuation order a few years back, I'm sympathetic to how nerve wracking it is. Please stay safe. 

The rain has stopped in our area...temporarily, at least. We can see patches of blue ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast this morning since I need to leave for a haircut this morning. I dread the thought of going out into the horrible weather we've been experiencing the past couple of days. Already, we've accumulated nearly 2 inches of rain, and we're not finished yet. Seeing the weather report last night, radar showed solid rain for as far as radar could reach. Satellite images showed the area beyond in solid cloud cover. Sheesh. Oregon at its worst. 

So I spent the whole of my sewing day making up a kit ...

Good morning, my friends. It was another busy day yesterday. I got a late start after sleeping in later than usual, but I still managed to cross off the things on my list. I wanted to get busy with the Peppermint Bark before I did anything else. It's very easy to make. The hardest part of the whole thing is getting the dratted paper off the candy canes. Mike helped with that. When it was finished, it looked like this.

Good morning, my friends. Oh my...it is so dark outside. We're expecting lots of rain over the next several days. There could be around 4 inches in our area with minor flooding concerns in some places. Here on our hill, we're not at all worried about flooding. Sadly, however, Mike discovered the drainage pipes leading away from our downspouts are clogged with pine needles that cannot be dislodged with any equipment we have. We're going to have to call a plumber to snake those out. That should be a nice tidy plumbing bill. When it comes ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm happy to announce I finished making the last kitten in a teacup yesterday. It's surprising that I was able to finish them off without having to use my rotary cutter to slit my own throat. The kitties were there to offer meowral suppurrt. Sadie gazed longingly at the pieces I'd cut to finish the last block. I'd left them covered with rulers to purrtect them from...you know...mice.

Smitty took the seat next to my light box. He ...
