What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

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 …

I am determined to keep my quilting projects moving along. That led me to be up early on Monday morning at the sewing machine. Last week I had cut out some of the sashing and cornerstone pieces for my Emerald City quilt. Monday morning I sewed all of the nine patches that are needed for …

Miracle of miracles, I worked on the longarm this week. Longarming isn’t something that I have jumped into after surgery. There is a lot of upper body and back work that goes into it, plus I have to stand the entire time. I’m still building up my stamina. I finally decided I have some back …

I jumped right into sewing this week. On Monday, I was determined to finish taking apart the shirts that Kayla had given me. I started working on these last week, but had a few to finish. I cut these up on my kitchen island, so I wanted them done and out of the kitchen. Kayla …

I didn’t get a lot of sewing done this week. I really only worked on it one evening. If not for the weather, I might not have had any sewing at all. Sunday, Arnie and I woke up, and the weather forecast had gotten a little angrier, and my county, which was previously in no …

I worked on the mystery so I could catch up. I think that over Christmas, things will be busy, and I’ll likely get behind. I thought I’d better make sure to get the current clue done, so at least I would be behind with that clue, too. The half rectangles weren’t too bad. You can …

First off…many of you have wondered if I was able to purchase my sewing cabinet…the one at Goodwill…I told you about it in THIS blog post. I didn’t buy it at the time and kicked myself once I got home. My son Karl was going to town that evening, and I asked him to check …

I was a roll from last week when I actually got a little sewing done. Monday morning, I decided to give myself some sewing time. I had planned on working on my Mystery Quilt, but my Emerald City quilt pieces were lying around the machine. So…I started sewing them. I didn’t iron anything…I knew I …

With Thanksgiving and the faraway funeral last week, my quilting took a bit hit. I didn’t get much done. I took my hexies with me on the funeral trip and got some done. It wasn’t anything exciting to show. I mostly just sewed black hexies into rows of three. Not exciting at all, but something …

I didn’t get much done in the sewing room this week. Between my physical therapy, colonoscopy, and working at the library, it was hard to squeeze in. I worked on piecing Emerald City…which is so appropriate. Arnie and I watched Wicked I a week or so ago and went to Wicked II over the weekend. …

I didn’t get much done in the sewing room this week. I have still been cleaning and cleaning. My latest cleanup was the basement frame shop. I took some pictures and will tell you more about it later in the week. I’ve also started attacking the toys for the grandkids. I have lots more to …

I didn’t get a lot of time in the sewing room this week. I’ve still been pretty serious about cleaning things out. My extra time has been spent on that. Every area that I get done makes me happier and happier. But I did make it to the sewing room. Last week was a one …

Are you sick of my star quilt yet? I am and I’m not. I love it…I just want to be done sewing stars…and now, I think I am. I sewed this big bunch on Monday… I did these on Tuesday… Wednesday was a super busy day for me. I knew I didn’t have time for …

I told you last week that I didn’t expect to get a lot done in the sewing room, as I had four different medical appointments scheduled last week. I was right. I didn’t get a lot of sewing time. When I finally got there, I decided to concentrate on my star block quilt. I sat …

I have star blocks on my brain. I really want them to get finished and my star blocks into a quilt. I’m just past the six-week mark in my recovery from surgery. I have doctor appointments this week, and I’m assuming I’m going to get released to do what I want. That means I might …

Oh my goodness…remember two weeks ago I had trouble sitting at the sewing machine for 20 minutes, but challenged myself to 20 minutes 4 times in one week anyway? Then the next week I could actually do it. Well, watch out, world. I can sit for MUCH longer now. I’m so excited and can’t wait …
