Hello There,
Thank you for stopping in! I hope your week was fabulous and that the coming week is even better. I was quite productive this week and even finished two books! It feels like I am finally getting my "land legs" back after my father's passing. Though I’m a bit late, I’m ready to set my goals for the year:
- Prioritize a healthier lifestyle with the goal of moving away from at least one medication.
- Continue sewing from my stash, only purchasing new fabric when necessary to complete a specific project.
- Finish my "Quilt As You ...
Death Valley National Park
from ... Cat Patches
Good morning, my friends. We're at our last stop for this trip before we head for home. We expect to be home a week from yesterday. For now, we're enjoying this beautiful and colorful landscape inside the largest national park in the contiguous United States (the "lower 48" states), covering over 3.4 million acres (roughly 5,270 square miles) across California and Nevada. It is not the largest in the entire U.S. (Wrangell-St. Elias in Alaska is), but it is the hottest, driest, and lowest. (I've linked to my post from our visit to Wrangell-St ...

from Chocolate Cake Quilt Designs
Sewing and stitching took a back seat this month, as a big chunk of my time was spent poring over Texas’ six-page primary ballot, the election for which is next Tuesday. It was a slog, but we get the government we vote for, so it was an important slog.
In between ballot research sessions, I managed to make a little progress on my Hummingbird Garden cross stitch project: 11 mandalas stitched with one to go. Some back stitching needs to be added to each of the motifs, but it’s minimal so it shouldn’t be too tedious.
Can’t ...

Welsh Quilting Designs
Hearts, Swirls, Leaves, Welsh Pear (Paisley Pear), Scissors, Crosshatching, Echo Quilting etc...
My Love of Welsh Quilts focuses on the splendour of the Welsh Quilts made for and by your average Welsh family over 100 years ago.
Using Patterns and techniques that were passed along and down through communities, families and Welsh women trying to earn a crust.
When you break them down the Designs are simple and homely. Using what they had to hand to create the wonderful sculpted Patterns.
Typical Welsh Quilting Designs are wonderfully organic. Made using whatever the Quilter had to hand to ...

Friday check in: the orchid show + SAHRR flimsy
from With Strings Attached
Steffi and I went to the Chicago Botanic Garden on Wednesday to see the Orchid Show. This year's theme was back to the 60's. Different golden oldies played in each gallery--the first flower show I've been to that was a sing-along (and a tap-your-toes-along).
They filled a real VW beetle with orchids.
Catch the 60's decor -- the RCA console TV, the wood panelling and orange shag carpet.
The CBG staff starts planning two years in advance. All the sets are made in-house.
In the course of the six-week show they use 10,000 orchids, all grown ... read more

February Stash Report and Goals Update
from The Colorful Fabricholic
Much of February was taken up with a visit from and a collaborative project with my friend Cherie that we're keeping under wraps for now. But I did accomplish some other things, or at least make progress. I started the Opal-Inspired project, which generated leftover scraps. Those scraps became 16-patch blocks.
Opal-Inspired
The Positively Scrappy flimsy was ready for quilting (backing from PCQ's stash) and I had a successful quilting experience with it: no long arm issues at all! Such a relief after all the issues with the teal project.
Positively Scrappy
Since the new projects are not ...

from South Jersey Quilter
It's going to be in the 50's today and tomorrow, a tease for spring. Then back into the 30's Monday. We've had some melting, but there is probably still over a foot of snow on the ground.
The white cabinet holds all the Christmas and other holiday fabrics.
The bottom ...

from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!
Welcome to the Weekend, everyone!
We are starting today with more pillow talk - because, why not?
I'm pretty pleased with how these are turning out.
Orphan blocks plus borders, plus a bit of machine quilting, accented with binding and voila!
It helps, of course, that the pillow forms were already made and I just needed to pop them in there to have the job done.
RSC Coffee with Dad - WIP
from Grandma's Red Needle
Now that 'Swirling Stars' (RSC UFO #11) is near completion (waiting for ordered thread), I continue working on my UFOs and WIPs.
I accomplished a lot in January, thanks to all the rainy days. What's better stay inside and sew?!
Some days ago, one particular blogpost comment caught my eyes: Viola at Barwitzki Family challenged me to work on 'Coffee With Dad' - RSC UFO #26, her birthday!
Challenge accepted! Thank you, Viola!

New Block Drive - Mini Square in Square
from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework
March is coming so it is time to release the new block drive. We are calling this one a Mini Square in Square block. I was inspired by a quilt sent in by Elizabeth.

For each block, you will need two fabrics. Here are the fabric cutting sizes:
Outer Block
4.5" x 8.5" Rectangle QTY = 1
2.5" x 8.5" Rectangle QTY = 1
2.5" x 4.5" Rectangle QTY = 1
2.5" Square QTY = 1
Mini Square
2.5" Square QTY = 1
Here is how each block is configured. Start by sewing the middle row together ...
I'm PUZZLED!!!!
from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!
Creative block!!! Where do I start this morning?
Just kidding! All I need to do is write one word, and then the rest just follows. I have more to write about The Artist's Way, but I'm leaving that until tomorrow.
Lots of things happened yesterday, and they were very exciting. Let's take a look. I recently went through my pending folder, which was exploding, and I did quite a bit of checking things off the list yesterday morning. So that was a positive way to get some paperwork done. There are a few more papers on the ...

from My Sewing Room
Missing from this group photo are some green string blocks that were made early in the month. Seeing all these blocks together makes me feel happy. I do love green and always seem to have a lot of it in the stash, and in the scrap bins too. But after getting all of my green RSC blocks done I'm excited to move on to a new color for March sewing.
The blue version of Who's Found the Catnip block is now hanging with the green one I did first. I knew once I got that green one made ...

Choosing a binding...................
from Exuberant Color
The quilting was finished yesterday, the quilt trimmed and now it was time to choose a binding. At first I thought a multicolor stripe, but then I decided black and white might be better.
Here are my three choices. There were many more to choose from but I settled on these.
This stripe has the most white in it and the black lines are curvy.
The black lines are straight and closer together on this one.
It's always fun to find a diagonal stripe in the stash. This one is darker than the other two. I'll make a ... read more
