All Puffed Up from The Quilt Quine

Don’t tell my guests but I removed some stuffing from one of the guest room pillows to finish stuffing all 291 puffs. Some may be under stuffed and some may be too plump. It is tempting to make them nice and fat but then they are impossible to join together. I suppose if I was going to be exact I would have to use some “drug dealer” scales but I went for what size of fluff ball could fit into my closed fist. The next thing will be to put them together in blocks of 9 to distribute the ...

Creativity Saturday: Reading thru the ages phone/camera bag from Not Afraid of Color

 

I've been a bit distracted this week.... but managed to finish the Project Quilting challenge 

(Of another era) https://www.kimlapacek.com/project-quilting

The distraction was this pup, who came into our lives and home Sunday from a ranch in Colorado

Dewi, which means beloved in Celtic, is just over a year and a half years old and I've never been so supervised in my life! He is a lovely companion even into the studio which is boring to him

"I'll be here napping if you need snoopervision mama"

so I started the project with one idea ...

Yard Art from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. The weather is still chilly here in Pahrump, but things are looking up. Each day grows warmer in the coming week. We were treated to a pretty sunset yesterday evening. Of course, the sun sets in the west, but to the east, it lights up the hills behind us.


To the south, it turned those snow-covered peaks a pretty shade of coral.


The kitties are still optimistic they'll get the morning sunshine on their window hammocks one of these days. They spent their morning like this:


We'll try to face the right direction when ...

Saturday Sparks Link Party 707 from Pieced Pastimes

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 707!

Starting off today's party with some prepping for a new project!


So many of you are sharing signs of spring, but we are still buried in snow with the promise of more to come.

I decided to create my own sense of spring with a new embroidery project. 

This lovely pear design by Yumiko Higuchi will fill the void nicely.

Oh, ..... in case you were wondering .... yes, that is iced coffee.

As a true New Englander, it doesn't matter if it's twenty below or a hundred degrees, iced coffee is the drink ...

Stitchy Gifts, Kits, Links, Quarter Dresdens from Canadian Needle Nana

 I'm feeling a little drowsy this morning sitting here by the fire. I've just mopped the whole upstairs because we've had a lot of activity here. It's been a trying week because our furnace quit working and what a time to choose to do that during these very cold days in February. I'm thankful to have Brad who helped me with getting wood up from the back basement door for our fireplace...that is quite a trek. The little heaters we also used were okay but it was really nice to be able to keep ...

Full On Quilting Weekend Ahead! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


With each year that passes (I can't believe we are in Quiltville Inn Season Seven already!) there are things that need to be replaced, refreshed and redone.

And let's face it, after a couple of big quilts (Man, I love big quilts but it's been a lot!) and after Mystery Season is over I like to have something that I can see done in a flash.

Or a bit more than a flash, but still less than a big quilt kind of job.

YouTube Stitching Stars, Flicker Blocks, Slow Stitching from Canadian Needle Nana

 It is happening, the lengthening of the days I mean. It is already noticeable but of course, we are still under banks of snow and will be for several more months. March can be our snowiest month here so I won't be seeing buttercups any time soon. But still, the tiny steady slivers of extra light each day add up. 

And I finally managed a photo to show why this fellow is called an Eastern Cottontail. Isn't it cute! I called all rabbits "bunny rabbits" growing up. Did you?

Slow stitching- I should say really slow stitching has ...

Marlene's Vintage Sampler from Night Owl Quilting

 


This beautiful sampler quilt was made by Marlene.  This is actually the first quilt that Marlene ever started.  She took a class from Marilyn Weibe in the late 1980s.  She was obviously an amazing teacher and Marlene was a good student as these blocks are perfection.  Oh, and the entire top was hand pieced!!


Marlene had begun the process of hand quilting this one, but other projects took priority and it never got finished. Maybe she lost motivation when she no longer lived in the house with the wall paper that matched the border fabric? So instead of letting it ...

Learning to be creative! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

It was a positively boring day yesterday! The third-level Microsoft support called, and she took about 5 minutes to poke around my Outlook setup, then decided it needed to be escalated to a higher level! Yikes!!! But Microsoft and Google don't seem to like talking to each other, and there's an issue with syncing. Now I understand why it takes so long for my email to sync - that's always been an issue, but I never thought much about it. If Microsoft is willing to spend time on it, I'm happy to oblige! I have another call ...

Heart Throw COMPLETE from Wedding Dress Blue

This started off as a little bundle of three floral print fat quarters. I found some friends for them and, using my favorite Heart Block Pattern, started sewing.

The 6″ size made best use of the fabric I had available. When trimmed to 2-1/2″ the HST cut-offs became the border.

The backing matches beautifully and came from stash, where it had been for a long time. Don’t you just love it when fabric finds its purpose?!

I have another heart quilt in mind and hope to start it in the next few weeks. I need to get the ...

A Little Snow Must Fall from Jo's Country Junction

RSC26 - Week #8 from My Sewing Room

I've had some fun with green again this week but only in small doses.


The Vintage Spools blocks that I cut out last weekend, are done and now in the basket with all the previous ones I've made.  I can't decide which of these 2 different spools I like the best.  The tilted ones are quicker to make, with fewer pieces.  These are 6" finished blocks so you know I'll need a lot of them for a whole quilt.


Only 1 green Give It a Whirl block happened this week.


The final green project for this ...

4 blocks sewn, pressed and added to right column........... from Exuberant Color


I turned on my little mini iron and pressed the parts for the 4 new blocks and then sewed them and pressed them.  In the right column starting at the top, they are the 2nd, 5th, and bottom 2 blocks.  These aren't sewn into a column yet.  I need a partial block in the left column and might need a partial one on the right column too after they are sewn together.


Since I have had so few second round blooms on the cacti I need to capture the beauty of the ones I did get.  This champagne one ...

Psalm 5, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer


Hello There,
Thanks for stopping by! I hope your week was fabulous and your weekend is both fun and restful (if that’s not an oxymoron!).

I was invited to join a lovely group of stitchers for a "Sunday Sew Day." It was so fun chatting with friends and making new ones. Our hostess' husband made a cheesecake that was so delicious—no Mediterranean diet today!

This week was also another "organizational event," similar to my sewing room refresh. We tackled the tiny pantry, braved the "dungeon" (aka the laundry room), and scrubbed the fridge. This over-the-door organizer was a ...

Quilt Finish: Emerald City from Jo's Country Junction

As part of my push to finish up UFO projects, I got Emerald City finished. This quilt was EPIC. I had two different blog readers ask me to take lots of pictures of this quilt…so I tried. Rosie now knows to jump up on the porch and to stand by a quilt when I’m taking …

Another Trip To The Casino from Quilting My Way

This morning, we decided to go to the casino. We didn't have any plans, and Patrick hasn't golfed for a couple of days. He really doesn't like the cold weather. So, this gave him something to do. We played first with their money and then ours. I ran into Bev and her husband Robert. Robert used to work at the museum but lately he's cut back there. We chatted; it was good to see them both. They apparently go on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. If Patrick wasn't golfing, chances are we would go that often ...
