What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Oklahoma has finally started it's autumn.  It's cool enough to need jackets, at least in the morning and evenings. We went out Saturday evening and it was really cool. It was so warm for so long that this cooler, need a jacket weather feels really weird.  

It was a good weekend to sit in the sewing room with a quilt over your lap. So I took the opportunity to sew the binding to the back of Glowing Hearts. 

Glowing Hearts was started in May of 2025. This pattern was Sandra Walker's, MMM Quilts, quilt along that year ...

Back in September I was going to work on these pillowcases for Ryan's Case for Smiles. But was sidelined by a visit to the hospital for two days. 

But I am happy to say that I completed 12 pillowcases and will deliver them to a drop off site.

Good Morning Ladies!

 How nice to receive an unexpected family visit over the weekend.  Grand daughter Megan sent a message asking if I was free for the day as her and partner Michael wanted to come down.  She was even bringing lunch.  I did make me reflect that there wasn't much tucked away in the freezer for unexpected visits,  except a little baking, a feijoa slice, which I got out to defrost.   My excuse is that I was due for a grocery shop.  They arrived with a big bag of home grown grapefruit for me, plus a few lemons.  Delicious, I love ...

Good morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was good and fairly productive. I got groceries bought, floors cleaned, bathrooms cleaned, everything except the dusting. I managed to avoid that for one more week! LOL. I worked on a huge customer quilt—I’ll get it trimmed today, and hopefully get a picture posted soon. I also took a little time to work on my own stuff. 

This set of borders for Timeless is going together really well.  Right now the borders are pinned to the wall – after the photo was taken I took the bottom border off and put it up higher so Raven won’t pick at the pins.  Next step is to make the side panels and put them […]

Rick has been gone pretty much all of last week. He’d be home long enough to eat, shower, and sleep. Clinicals, school, and work are in a constant rotation. Clinicals and school are both an hour drive there and back, so that eats up a lot of his time. That has left me with all …

This morning, we cleaned up as usual. 

Then we headed to the casino. We got the coats they were giving out. Not my favorite but it will work for when I'm walking. 

We played for another 4 hours and then ate at the dinner. I got shrimp and Patrick got some chicken strips. He said they were good. We came home with some of the money we took. 

We came home. As we were watching TV, we got a call that Phil wasn't doing well. Patrick went to take him to the hospital. I'm waiting to hear ...

Hello Happy Quilting Friends!  Come on in and let me show you what a week's worth of piddling looks like.  But first, I did do a tiny bit of hand sewing while watching TV, so the week wasn't all about piddling.

I am finally getting around to quilting a top I made something like 15 years ago. It is all hand appliqued.....the center is a block from a pattern called My Tweets designed by Erin Russek. The outer border is a block I later discovered to be in the book "Simple Traditions" by Kim Diehl and the inner border is one I designed by taking advantage of an interesting print fabric........you can see earlier posts about the making of this quilt  here

Below, is the "flimsy" before batting and backing.....this poor thing has been folded up and stored ...

Fall is doing it’s thing in the Pacific Northwest and I love it! It was really crazy because about two weeks ago on a Thursday afternoon at 4 pm, the weather shifted. It seriously felt like Fall just fell…like, “Hello, I’m back, you had better grab a sweater and a scarf!”

After growing up in Southern California, I’m still amazed by the fall colors. There are a bunch of trees in my neighborhood that just glow in the Fall, like this one which was several blocks away. The sun was hitting just right and it looked ...
