Midweek: dark skies, the blue wave, and flimsies from With Strings Attached

I did not take any photos at yesterday's Zion Woman's Club meeting -- and my sister was the speaker! She's actively involved with the Dark Sky Association (darksky dot org) which works to preserve the natural nighttime environment. Light pollution takes its toll on everything -- insects, amphibians and reptiles, birds, and mammals, including us!

I didn't stay up to watch the election results but I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn't resist checking. Illinois' results were never in doubt but other races provided some cliff-hangers and surprise/no-surprise. Once the euphoria is over the ...

Midweek: a quilt shop and placemats from With Strings Attached

Yesterday Pat and I went out to lunch to celebrate her birthday. I looked up "quilt shops nearby" and discovered Quilters Quest in Downers Grove. We ate at a Panera Bread in the same shopping center, then went to the shop.

Wow!

A huge array of fabric -- Free Spirit, Ruby Star, all the Modas, a wall of batiks, and even some CW and 30's reproductions.

They're a Bernina and Janome dealer. They have six full-sized Gammill machines.

The black garment bags on the dry-cleaner carousel hold quilts waiting to be quilted or to be picked up.

Pat is ...

Midweek: in the studio + HLC from With Strings Attached

Two more trails for my 2026 Hike Lake County list. Spring Bluff is my wild card ("pick any trail not on the list"). I chose it because I hoped to find some bottle gentian, a hard-to-find wildflower that blooms in late summer. I was not successful. Maybe I was too late. Raven Glen was partly a farm and and one time a campground (see Timber Lake, upper right).

Bottle Gentian, 2024

Four placemats for the ongoing Rotary project. (They'll be given away in February at our spaghetti dinner delivery to shut-ins. I have about 100 more ...

Midweek: Hike Lake County 2026 and back to quilting from With Strings Attached

Hike Lake County 2026 is underway. Each year the Lake County Forest Preserve District marks 1.5-2.5-mile trails in 14 preserves. Participants have from mid-August to the end of November to walk, run, or bike 7 of them to win a commemorative medal. Though HLC began in 1999 we started in 2020 (with Stevens 'guarding the parking lot' while I walked). Thus this will be my 7th year.

My goal is to complete all 14 of the designated trails in the shortest time possible. I got a late start because I was in Scotland and then last week was ...

Midweek: more stars from With Strings Attached

Sewing time on Monday and Tuesday resulted in a lot more stars. They are such fun to make!

Finished sizes: 3", 4.5", 6", and 9".

They'll stay on the design wall. I can think about the setting in odd moments while I'm traveling.

Next blog post will be at the end of the month but I'll be posting on Facebook.

Midweek: show quilts delivered + top-along finished from With Strings Attached

Monday's mail brought the good news that two quilts I entered in the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show have been accepted. Though there's a lot on my to-do list, there was nothing on the calendar yesterday and I drove the long way through the countryside to deliver the quilts to Nancy Zieman Sewing Studio in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. It's a bright and cheerful quilt shop in downtown Beaver Dam. (Nancy's Notions warehouse used to be in an industrial park on the edge of town.)

I did not buy a thing at the shop (fortitude!). Instead I visited ...
