What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It’s been a month since Arnie and I broke up. It’s given me a lot of time to think. I’ve heard all of the people who think my family is great, and I don’t need a man in my life. They have a point. I do have a great family, and they could keep me …

I didn’t get a lot done this week that you can see. I spent some time putting floss away and doing a little behind-the-scenes organizing. Last week I told you I started this freebie. You can find the freebie HERE. I ended up finishing it that night. I even fully finished it already. I’ll share that …

We celebrated my sweet mom yesterday. It’s always special when family gathers together for a birthday party.

Since I haven’t gifted her a quilt in a while, it was time. I have several (dozen) tops to choose from, so I gave her this one.

A couple Christmases ago my MIL gave me a jolly bar kit that included everything to make the complete top. Well, as usual, the fabrics weren’t all appealing to me, so I switched up a couple. I see it as a pink and navy quilt, which is something we really like.

“We ...

My inbox has some goodies from Ray in it, and I thought I would share some of them with you. Ray writes: Can you believe it has already been three months since the veterans dinner in November?? Where oh where has the time gone? Well that means it is a short nine months till the next appreciation …

My stitching was a little weird this week. I got some done, but it wasn’t my usual week. As you are reading this, my daughter Kelli and I are off at the Stitchery Nook shopping. They have their Needlework Market open house, and I’m so excited to be going. I can’t wait to see the …

I had a lot of company over the weekend again. That left me with not so much sewing time. It’s all okay. I love the company and enjoy spending time with them. Last Sunday, I was in the sewing room and started sewing together the string triangles that the girls and I had worked on. …

Just a tiny thing this week because another tiny thing invaded my life and needed my time.  

Here’s my little ornament with the complimentary colors red and green.

And here’s the adorable cuddle puddle that took over my sewing time yesterday.

Now I’m off to try a class in something that doesn’t even use fabric!  I’ll post more later!

Procrasti-blogging: writing a blog post when there are ten other things in need of doing. The opportunity to write this afternoon is too good. I am going to figure out where I am in piecing several blocks with this scrumptious Cherrywood Fabric. It is quite gorgeous, isn’t it. There are at least 9 blocks here… Continue reading Procrasti-blogging

This is the year of potholders, this time a String Pieced set.

I don’t know who these belong to yet, but it is good to have such presents on hand.

I got some stitching time in this week. Originally, I thought I would jump in and get started on the next block for my Garden Club series from Blackbird Designs…but that didn’t happen.  I am stitching this on Atomic Ranch’s Frieze in 40 count. It has a bit of pink and green mottling. The colors …

After I showed you my sewing room island at the end of January, I felt bad. What was I thinking, having so many projects out? No wonder I was feeling overwhelmed when I went into the sewing room. It was plain and simple too much. I got all sorts of suggestions…give some away. Work on …

My big cancer appointments are coming up on the 20th of this month. I have MRI, CT scans, and blood draws all happening. After all of that, I see my doctor. It will be a long day, but I prefer that they put it all in one day so only one is wasted. The last …

The theme for this month’s quilt blocks is weather, so I decided to make a clouds quilt block. I have made some

The post Clouds Quilt Block appeared first on Always Expect Moore.

I tried to get all the stitching time in that I could this week. I didn’t get my usual amount, though. It’s birthday week here at the Kramers. Gannon and Georgia both had birthdays…and Kayla was home with Jasper for a few days. Kelli stayed over and had a mom/daughter/grandkid day. It was fun. I’ll …

WordPress recently notified me that I’ve been blogging on this site for 18 years. First of all, where did that time go? And secondly, there is a need to post with greater frequency. So here I am today blogging away with my favorite movie in the background. Tidying up my studio from four weeks of… Continue reading Well, where did that 18 years go?

I was a busy girl in the sewing room again. Monday, I didn’t do a lot…but Tuesday I was at it. I was up early and was working on my Train Track Leftovers. This is what I’m going for…I planned for white sashing…but then seeing it on the floor with making it look like brown …

The Project Quilting Challenge for this week was about something from another era. Well, instead of looking backwards, I decided to go forward. I’d had an idea for a BTS-themed denim jacket for my sister. My sister is a huge BTS fan and we are lucky enough to have gotten tickets to see them later this spring. I’ve been loving the denim jackets I’ve seen with quilted insets and wanted to create BTS’s logo on a jacket. I pieced the logo and then quilted it directly to the jacket back with a layer of thin batting ...
