What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

We had a busy week. We had grandkids two days last week. I had doctor appointments on two different days (I’ll tell you about that soon). I was also gone all of Saturday at the cross stitch retreat. Besides that, we are still working on the garage sale. There wasn’t much time to sew. On …

I was able to get to the sewing room on Wednesday. I tried to make the best of my time. I was able to get some more of my Midnight Flight blocks sewn. I’ve gotten lots of requests to do another “Sew with Jo” YouTube video, so I recorded one as I made the blocks. …

I had a busy week…grandkids, ball games, helping a friend, and some behind-the-scenes things that I’ll tell you about later. I did manage to sneak in the sewing room and get a few things done. I trimmed my Bow Tie quilt, so now I can add the borders. I was going to do that, but …

The sewing room and I didn’t see each other much this week, and when we did…I was mostly cleaning and tidying. I still have a long way to go. It’s kind of gotten out of control again. When I did work on a quilt, it was this one…Oh my goodness, I love this quilt. For …

…and just like that, it’s June. If you have a deadline project, the calendar just flipped, and you’re closer to needing to have it done!! Luckily, I don’t have too many deadlines. We had a family wedding over the weekend, plus I had doctor appointments this week, so not as much sewing got done. My …

I had an okay week in the sewing room. I didn’t get as much done as usual, but I worked on several projects, which made it hard to seem like I accomplished a lot. I had one machine occupied with my bow tie quilt. I’ve tried to record a video twice…I’ve had problems twice. I …

I had some unexpected time off from watching Anders, and I made the best of it. I debated for a bit on what project I could finish up quickly. I had shown you several options that I was thinking of finishing in a blog post last week. You can find it HERE. The funny thing …

Sewing was not in my cards this week. Between kittens, garage sales, doctor appointments, and family, I wasn’t there as much as I expected. Well, I had one good day of sewing… I put the borders on my half square triangle quilt. Then I picked a backing. This was the perfect sheet. Isn’t the color …

Right before I left to go to Iowa City for my radiation stay, I was going through my bag, checking to see what I had for projects for me to work on. I had several cross-stitch projects, and I was good with that. Then I paused…I should probably bring my lamp. I went to get …

I didn’t get much sewing time this week. I had company over the weekend. I had Doctor appointments…I went to a movie one night. It just didn’t work out to get much time in the sewing room. I still got some sewing done though. I am still working on the pieces for my Midnight Flight …

Oh my goodness…the month is disappearing! It’s a great reminder that I need to keep working on projects. I did just that. My patriotic spider web string quilt is now a top. It turned out a little bigger than I anticipated, but that’s okay. Now I just need a backing, and I need to get …

It was slower in the sewing room than usual…or at least now as busy as it has been lately. I have my tax appointment on Wednesday, so I had to get the prep work done. That cut into my sewing time. I also did a bunch of pillow cross-stitch finishes. Watch for them coming. I …

I wasn’t in the sewing room much this week. I had a lot going on…Anders was here an extra day and I had company from Wednesday through Saturday evening. Happily some sewing happened when I had company. Let me tell you about it all. I told you earlier in the week that I was making …

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 …

I had another good week in the sewing room. On Monday, I loaded up my Emerald City Quilt on the longarm. My goal was to get it done on Wednesday when Anders wouldn’t be at my house. Then Monday afternoon, Gannon came off the school bus complaining about an icky tummy. Later that night, Kalissa …

I have done so good in the sewing room for the last month or so. I wanted to keep up the momentum and keep working on a few of the projects. I was up early and worked on my Twirl Around quilt. I should maybe rephrase that…I think the quilt worked on me. Notice the …

I told you Arnie was gone for the weekend ice fishing in Minnesota. Well, while he was away, I made a plan to get as much sewing done as I could. Those UFOs on my sewing island are driving me to sew (better than driving me to drink!!) I told you about my week, Monday …

Kelli has no plans to visit me this week. So, no. I didn’t get as much sewing done this week as I did last week, but I still got plenty done. Monday morning, I was up and went straight to the sewing room. In between other projects, I’ve started sewing strips together. They are for …
