September Stash Report and Goals Update
from The Colorful Fabricholic
I had a wide variety of goals this month, but I ended up focusing on one and some of the others saw less progress. It's all good. No one is keeping score except me, and the score doesn't matter anyway.
The project I ended up focusing on was my Checkered Garden blocks. In my last post I had all 20 blocks made, but I wasn't happy with one of them. That has now been fixed, and the result is much better.

I was able to quilt the "Found" UFO during my recent long arm ...

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 ...

from Life In Pieces
The drive from Houston to home Monday was just over 11 hours. Needless to say I was pretty wiped out yesterday. I slept late yesterday, got up just in time to go work out at the gym and make a run to Walmart. After lunch, it was nap time. I just never worked up the energy to dig my computer out of the bag and get it set up. So I'm a day late with my to do list.
Last week I was sewing from the road, without my normal set up. It was still a pretty good week ...

Porch Rails & Side Trips!
from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!
I could have titled this post Sew Many Mules -but folks might not get the whole story or decide to pass it by - but there is a special story to these Wonky Donkey blocks that is worth telling!
They were made by Denise's Husbands mother and grandmother in the "way back when" and include some hand piecing, some machine piecing and a whole lot of "what happened with these?!"
We've all got something in our life that just never was completed because maybe they didn't fit together, but these are so precious!

Wednesday Wait Loss 504
from The Inquiring Quilter
WWL is a place where you can share photos of quilts you’re working on and get encouragement to finish them from our Wednesday Wait Loss group! As you can see, I’ve been doing this for years and so our group is strong, loves to share, and is very welcoming.
Here’s how it works. Every week I start out by sharing what I’ve been working on. Then I share the projects from the previous week that most inspired me so that they will inspire you too! This is followed by the actual link up where you can ...

OH MY GOSH - I love the story about the chipmunks storing nuts in the car. Those little devils!!!! And YES - I need to change my search engine - old habits die hard!!! I MUST try and remember!!! Perhaps a sticky note on my computer—that will remind me!!!!
Guess what? While I can buy that puzzle I wanted online, someone taking the ferry this week just offered to buy it for me on the ferry. That will have so much more meaning to me than buying it online. Thank you!!!! I'm taking that person up on their offer. I'm ...

One little finish
from My Sewing Room
In the bottom of the project box with all the leftover fabric, was a selection of embellishments in little zip lock bags that I must have collected when we were doing the Gingerbread Joy pattern for Saturday Sampler. The quilt had a red/aqua color scheme. And there were little buttons just the right color of aqua. So . . . here she is, all done!! She's only 12" square, but it's still very nice to have a finish.
One flimsy can be checked off my To Do list too. Enough triangle units to make 2 identical runners were on my ...
Just a short hello
from Happy Cottage Quilter
Well, I'm not really back. Just thought I would drop in and say........ things are moving along.
3 weeks ago I was in the hospital with major palpitations of the heart. My BP was though the roof and the medical team could not get it down. So since then I have been wearing a heart monitor. Will continue for two more weeks. Sigh.... I am starting to feel a little more like myself, but still fighting the pounding of my heart.
I've not been sewing, so nothing really to share on that front. The weather has finally been ...

September 2026 monthly recap.......................
from Exuberant Color
I had one finish and I decided to show the back also. A few months ago I went through my two big bins of brown, rust and gold fabrics. I pulled some that I knew I didn't want to keep, some matched other collections better and were removed, and I pulled the fabrics for this Snail's Trail quilt and got the 2 bins down to one. The pieces for the 12" blocks were die cut. The quilt ended up at 58" x 83". It was longarm quilted by Robin Diaz.
I finished two quilt tops. While I was ... read more

Under the Needle: September
from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road
Time for another end of the month sewing recap. I think time speeds up when we sleep. It's the only way I can explain how fast I'm flipping the calendar pages.Five or six years ago I picked up this chicken fabric, pulling a few coordinates from my stash as soon as I brought it homeSince then, it's moved around my sewing room a lot, I switched out the red, but I finally took the next step,

A bit ago, I mentioned that, with Rick and me together, I want the house to reflect both of us. His apartment was very gray…pretty much everything was gray. It was a real modern look. My house, as you know, is all antique. Any and all reproduction fabrics are fabulous for my house. Gray I …

from Christa Quilts
How is your Dancing Stars quilt going? Remember, during this quilt along you can sew at your own pace! This week we are sewing our blocks together to make the quilt top. I made 2 versions with a couple of tips for each.
First of all, for my black & white version, I had mapped out all of the colors ahead of time so it was simple to sew the blocks and then arrange them in a pleasing order. I created a checker board around the blocks with every other square being light or dark. As you can see above, a ...

from Quilting My Way
This morning, I slept in. I took my time getting moving. There was too much to do today.
Had to leave around 12:30 pm to get to my doctor appointment in Olympia. Patrick ticked me off because he didn't put going to the bank and post office in consideration, so now we are doing that tomorrow. I wanted to do it yesterday and now have to wait another day. GRR
My visit went well. Got my last shingles shot and flu shot. Not getting covid this round. Already got covid for the year.

from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter
There’s a whole lotta cutting going on.
My, oh my. I sat down at my new table a few days ago and sewed for the first time at home in about six weeks. And then I did it again for six hours for two days in a row! And I slept! Ah, quilting, you are so good for me.
But back to Mod Owls—When I cut the pieces for the quilt a few weeks ago, I cut out more than necessary. I don’t want to make the quilt bigger; I wanted to make sure I had plenty ...
