What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 The wind blew so hard in our city yesterday that a school lost its roof and concrete waste bins were blowing over. However, this is Alberta, sunny but totally unpredictable. . . as in "if you don't like the weather, wait a minute."

I finished a couple of improv quilts. One is black and white leftovers from a bigger one that is not finished yet. It will make a wheel chair lap size. The other is from my box of brown scraps and bigger pieces from that stash that multiplies in the dark when i'm sleeping. Both will likely go ...

Wednesday of last week was a tough day for me. I told you all about Arnie and me splitting up. Then I told you I got the results back from my scalp biopsy, and it showed cancer. Off-da. It was a lot for one day. My daughter Kalissa’s boys were here, and Carver wanted to …

 It's 70 out! I'm sure it's just a tease, we have the rest of March to get thru.

I did 3 more tablecloths yesterday!

I love all the fabrics that Manda picked from my collection of large pieces. Each piece took 2 yards, so that's 12 yards used! We mailed them out this morning.

I really liked the Exploding Heart design when I saw it, so I decided that it would be my next project. It has 18 blocks in each of 18 rows, and the blocks finish at 4″ square. Well, who can’t manage a 4″ square, right? But the quilt is going to end up at 72″ […]

Recently a quilt image popped up in my Pinterest feed that looked intriguing. It's called Diabolical Jane, and several clicks later I found the source, a tutorial by Jessie Aller. Her version is a copy of a 200 year old quilt she saw on a museum tour with the DC Modern Quilt Guild. Check out their images at the link.

Have you ever finished a quilt, proudly laid it across the bed… and realized it’s either way too small or hanging halfway to the floor? Yep—this happens to a lot of us. Figuring out the right quilt size can feel a little confusing because beds come in different sizes, mattresses are thicker than they used to be, and everyone seems to have a different opinion about how much quilt should hang over the sides.

The good news is it doesn’t have to be complicated. Once you understand a few basic measurements and how quilts are typically sized ...

Isn’t that what they say when you try and get back to doing something that you haven’t done in a long time? Welcome it has been a long time since I have written here, I have missed it and I want to try and catch up. My Quilt Show pages are also way out of date so I am going to add both old and new quilts, wallhangings and a few odds and ends.

I have been busy. Thanks to the help of a couple of longarm quilters, Lynn Jones and Nadine Stevens I have been able to ...

We had a snowstorm ten days ago and I captured this shot of Petey from my tv room chair. Ned is still off somewhere in the yard. Neither of them seemed aware of the wild weather all around them. This is the most snow we've had on the ground since living in this house. I can touch the roof in places. It means the ground will get a lot of water this spring and after a couple of drier years, that's a good thing. 

I had a lot of company over the weekend again. That left me with not so much sewing time. It’s all okay. I love the company and enjoy spending time with them. Last Sunday, I was in the sewing room and started sewing together the string triangles that the girls and I had worked on. …

I can't remember the last time I didn't have anything at all to post for Design Wall Monday.  But that's the case today.  Being gone for 5 days - even when we're only 75 miles from home - takes it's toll on routines. We left Wednesday and got home last night.  College basketball conference tournament time is our annual "thing".  It was fun - but exhausting.
