What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 Coffee Cup Quilting was once a beloved local quilt shop here in Central Indiana, well known for offering the best fabric prices in the area.

While Claranna didn't stock all the latest fabric lines, she consistently offered quilt shop quality fabrics at remarkably affordable prices. As for how she managed it, I’m afraid her methods remain a trade secret. ... even if I am privy to them!

Sadly, Claranna had to pack up and move across the country to Las Vegas a year or two before the 2020 nonsense. Ultimately the nonsense forced her business to close. However, she ...

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday ended up being a less hectic day than expected. We left for the grocery store a little later than I’d hoped. Originally, I’d planned to start some chili and bake some cornbread when we got home. But then, we decided while doing our shopping we’d just get a pizza from Papa Murphy’s on the way home. Pizza. It saves lives.

Before we left, I had time to take the first stitches on December’s block for A Year in the Garden. Mainly, I was just using the leftover bits from the ...

Every day is a new day! I think that was what Alex and Ricky say at the end of every episode of The Quilt Show, and it's true! So much is happening, and some days I don't even know where to start. 

I walked to the grocery store and on my way back, my phone started pinging in my pocket. PING PING PING PING. There were so many pings I decided I needed to stop to see what the heck was going on. It was M, alerting me to something extremely creepy, yet extremely hilarious. 

I had set ...

You can read a blog post here about this piece.

It's growing slowly but as you can see I have piles of patchwork pieces ready to add to it. 

My favourite process here is making the actual 'grandmothers flower garden' pieces. 

It's meditative. It's relaxing and I do have a love of the repetitive.

The last remaining dinosaurs have been chilling out with me in the sewing room.   There was just a limited amount of fabric left, enough for a toddler quilt I decided.   And I liked the idea of using yellow as accents, the RSC colour for August.

I couldn't match up the dinosaurs, so cut the fabric into four, and added sashing in the middle.  Then yellow and grey borders with nine patch corners.  That's the  top done, it doesn't look too bad, does it.

Dinosaurs roam again

And I always like to ...

Except for a couple of setbacks, I had a good day yesterday. I got up early and went to exercise class. This is what the sky looked like when I left the house. 

Well, not much came out of it. In the afternoon it sprinkled a little and that was it. The cloudy skies did keep the heat down some, so that’s a welcome relief.

Friday turned out to be a rather normal day as per daily routine, and I appreciated it.  I did some quilting but didn’t push myself, did laundry, ironing, lunch and supper and watched rugby on TV.

This grandma made two of these owl quilts for her twin grandbabies, who are turning two in March 2027.  That I call organised!

I started with the red owl quilt for no particular reason; it was just on top of her package, and since it was for toddlers, we needed nothing more than an edge-to-edge design.  She wanted the same motif on both ...

When Nell was here for the cross stitch mini retreat at my house, she was talking about WIPS. Nell is known for quilting UFOs, so I was curious if she was also someone who had quite a few cross-stitch WIPS. For those of you who don’t know…In quilting, started, but unfinished projects are called UFOs. …
