A Pink Panther squatter? from Elaine Adair Pieces

A friend crocheted this fellow. I was hopeless to resist his cuteness so I asked if he could live with me - no name yet but he took over the swing and then actually blended in with that little quilt and then the flowers added to the mix --- he made a home for himself. Yes, he's going to stay.

Psalm 14:6-7 Don't You Love the Word, REFUGE? Fiber Fun, Literally Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping in! This week you'll find a continuation of our study on the Psalms and I'll share progress on some fun projects I'm working on.

I'm loving the progress I'm making on my 3/4" hexie project, which is featured below. It's amazing what we can accomplish by setting a goal of sewing for 15 minutes a night on one single project.

I do hope you enjoy your visit here today!

Take good care and, as Daddy used to say,

"Make memories; it's later than you think."

still creative (yellow hexie spiral) from Not Afraid of Color

I'm going through a rough time can't talk about it, but I've never quite been this lonely and hopeless.

That said it's been hard to be creative with so much on my plate I didn't ask for... still

when you have a creative spirit, it wants to be expressed and brings a sort of normalcy to the unpredictability of change.

even in photography... seeing a wonderful light effect and capturing the moment

the color of the month at RSC is one of my favorites. I have loved yellow in all it's tones since high ...

I’m quilting! I’m quilting! from Terificreations's Weblog

I am slowly quilting this Cherrywood Teri’s Color Theory alternately quilting and picking out some quilting I don’t like. Changing quilting as I go is a bit of a risk because I’ve already quilted an area, essentially poking a lot of holes into the quilt itself. And there are questions: am I damaging the quilt?… Continue reading I’m quilting! I’m quilting!

Taking Care of Business from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It was such a busy day yesterday, but I got most everything done that I wanted to. It started with this pretty sunrise.

We had grocery shopping to do, and so we mostly went through our morning routine. There was one errand to run in town, and then we were home by about lunch time. My next step was to make the Original Plum Torte. (If you click on that link, you can read the associated amusing story about the recipe.) We intentionally put off the start day of our upcoming trip to wait for the ...

Shop Announcement from Kitty and Me Designs

Well, I've spent the last week doing a complete overhaul on my Etsy shop. That was a lot of work!!

Due to the cost of Etsy fees and the outrageous price for shipping these days, I decided it was no longer cost effective for me to offer both PDF Downloads and Printed Pattern Leaflets in my store.

So I've discontinued printed patterns. I still offer the Crazy Quilt Magazines and Books but everything else is PDF downloads only.

If you prefer printed patterns, please order from your favorite needlework retail shops. There's tons of them and many ...

A Scrappy Triangle Project from The Colorful Fabricholic

I saw something recently in my Pinterest feed that intrigued me. It was a very scrappy quilt made of HSTs, Broken Dishes blocks, and stacked coin columns, in a palette of mostly yellow-greens, teals, dark reds, neutrals and light peach prints. Very busy. Dozens of different fabrics, many bold patterns. It was attributed to Mel Hale but now I can't find it again.

Updated 8/29: The inspiration photo popped up in my Pinterest feed again; see it here.

I pulled scraps in those colors, then raided my stash, and cut pieces for HSTs. I figured I could work ...

Saturday Sparks Link Party 731 from Pieced Pastimes

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 731!

Starting off today's party with our newest guest!

Summer's end is fast approaching and much of the flora has gone by.

I spotted this sweet groundhog savoring some of the last remaining clover.

They are normally very shy and skittish, but this one allowed me to get within a few feet.

We stared at each other for a few moments before it wandered off.

A close encounter that put a smile on my face that I carried for the day.

RSC26 - Week #35 from My Sewing Room

Yellow . . . such a cheerful color to play with this month.

Who Found the Catnip came together quickly since all the pieces were cut and arranged on the design board in the correct spots.

The 4 Snails Trail blocks are finished. I chose 2 yellows that were buttery, and the other 2 are more on the gold side. The one bottom right looks almost brown in this photo. That wasn't my intention so we'll see how it plays with the other colors. If I have to replace it with a brighter color it isn't the end of the ...

Soaking Up The Porch Time from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!

I'd been waiting for this all day!

Afternoon porch sitting with the September Quiltvillians.

I had walked through the kitchen earlier to the effervescent aroma of freshly juiced limes. I later found out that they juiced NINETY (Yes, as in Nine-Zero) limes so they'd have fresh beverage makings on hand in the fridge to last over the coming week.

Strawberry Margaritas on the porch to celebrate the last few days of August and into September we go.

Anouncements and progress reports! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I know -- I know --- but that little plastic sunflower bag is so cute! It will not take long to finish it! And YES—I could make my own double-fold binding. I know! I'll check out the colors of the purchased first, and if I don't find anything, I'll make it! Sometimes my brain works in mysterious ways!

I have a bunch of errands to do today, and one of them takes me right past the fabric store. I already checked my stash and couldn't find anything appropriate.

I seem to have a thing for bags. While ...

I've been busy stitching yellow. These little drawstring bags for foster kids were completed last week, but then I had to go and purchase some suitable coloured cords. All done now. The top two have motifs declaring "winner", with a gold cup and laurel wreath, that's certainly different, and I received this fabric together with a whole heap more from my former neighbour Dorothy. Then I stitched two bags for boys featuring trucks, tractors and diggers, and the last one with cute farm animals - these fabrics were donated to me recently.

Working on a quilt top................. from Exuberant Color

This is the first quilt top I needed to work on. I cut enough sashing strips to sew one to each of the 40 blocks. I'm not sure how many blocks I'm going to use in a quilt but any left over will be made into a small project.

I haven't decided if there will be cornerstones or if I will cut the sashing strips for the tops of the blocks longer. I hope I know what my decision is this morning so I can get to it.

My granddaughter was craving some Chex Mix so I ...

Quilt Finish: Anders’ Preschool Quilt from Jo's Country Junction

I told you on Monday that I finished Anders’ quilt. I didn’t include pictures with Anders because Kalissa had them and hadn’t shared them with me at the time. I have some photos now so I can share… As I was putting the binding on the quilt, I saw a pillow form there. CRAP. I …

Burano House Transported to Quilter's Cove from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome to our monthly link-up of A Quilter's Cove QAL. We've been following the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colours for our houses. Since it's the end of August, this is our eighth house.

Here & There from Quilting My Way

Today, was another trip to Olympia. Patrick had his doctor appointment, and I picked up my glasses. Before going, we stopped at Franz and picked up some treats for Patrick. He loves his sugar!

We were going to go to Red Lobster, but that one is closed. So, we came all the way back to Ground Mound and eat at Dick's Brewery & Deli. It was good, but I was full.

On the way home, we stopped at Safeway and got some ice cream and milk. The essentials!

Now we are home and the game is on. So, I will ...
