Week 12 of 2026 from Thread Head

This week I decided what to make with some fabric I wove years ago -

I made a wrap. Just two pieces of the fabric seamed up the long edges, folded in half, then seamed on the short sides with small sections left open as arm holes. I have made a few other garments with handwoven fabric and don't really wear them any more, so I thought something that can be thrown on when I am cold (like a wearable blanket) would be more practical.

This photo is a better representation of the colours. It is the last thing I ...

More at YouTube from Jo's Country Junction

Hey friends…I’m popping in here on a rare Sunday evening post. I’ve failed to let you know about my return to YouTube. My daughter Kalissa said, “Mom. Do you realize people are waiting for you to come back to YouTube? It’s been almost a year since you posted there.” I’ll admit…it has been almost a …

Picking Up Pieces ~ Sew & Tell - 3/23/2026 from Melva Loves Scraps

Mother Nature seems to have lost her temper... or mind... or is drunk... off her meds??? Something! At the beginning of this week, we saw a low of 7 degrees, and we saw a high in the low 90s by the weekend. It is dry, dry, dry! The humidity levels in Southern CO are in the single digits. Fires are popping up in the region and evacuation orders have been issued for at least 1 area. Pray for rain! Dave and I have not only prayed for rain, I did the quilter's rain dance by pulling out a pretty ...

Antelope Canyon quilt progress from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

It's very slow...

It's a log cabin quilt. How hard can it be? Very hard and confusing if I don't pay close attention to it.

I try to set myself up with every quilt I make with a plan to be more efficient in my piecing. A big part of that is organizing the blocks into stacks that can be chain pieced. Again, it's a log cabin block...but a very big block! Each block finishes at 37", and that's 47 logs plus the center square. And the majority of those logs each have two ...

Online Inspiration, Wool Applique, 3 Ingredient Squares from Canadian Needle Nana

We were plunged back into Christmasy looking winter on Saturday. It was beautiful outside in my woods.

I tramped about while the dogs ran madly around, sniffing new tracks here and there. The air was so cool and fresh and enjoyable. Below is the woods at the back door with a glimpse of the old tree house.

This Wednesday morning is cool, windchill making it -18C but the sun is shining so another very pretty wintry looking day. But staying this cool means no melting today.

I've been trying to choose which of my quilt tops to get to ...

Tisket Tasket Quilt Pattern and Kit in Connecting Threads from Curlicue Creations

Have you seen my newest pattern with Connecting Threads? It's Tisket Tasket, a cute little project

(18-1/2" x 18-1/2") made in their new Tranquil Blume fabric collection. It's available on their website as both a kit and as a downloadable pattern.

As you can see, Tisket Tasket is made up of four darling basket blocks with easy fusible applique handles. The pieced border gives it an extra special finish.

So cute up on a wall, or as a table topper.

Here's another Tisket Tasket quilt I've been making with some of my Island Batik ...

Slow Sunday Stitching from Eagle's Wings Quilts

My slow stitching focus continues to be the Bear for the Year in the Woods. I think I’m probably in the range of 60 percent finished with it. I started in on doing more of the bull rushes on the left hand side just to get a bit of a break from all the brown fur. I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching

Print Play, Repeat from Gene Black an Alabama Artist

Lately, I have been playing a lot with gelatin plate printing. I have had some moderate successes and some grand failures. It is all a part of the learning process. While I can follow directions, I prefer to say "what if I......instead?" One playful experiment leads to another.

Here are a number of mildly successful pieces.

The idea is to get interesting papers that I can use in collage. However if a print is

truly a success, I may mount it onto a canvas as a one off print.

Here are three that are great successes for what I ...

PQ 17.6 from Words & Stitches

Wow, that season went fast! And despite the tiny nature of this week’s challenge, I’m finishing at the very last minute! My Just a handful, started with s handful of scraps from this year’s projects.

I decided to make a little wonky log cabin pincushion.

It’s been another really fun season.

I have a bigger finish to share as well, so I’ll write more later.

Happy quilting!

Two Scrappy Quilts From Wendy from Night Owl Quilting

Wendy brought two scrappy quilts that feature some great bold and bright fabrics from her stash. The first is Wendy's take on the Mochi quilt pattern from Beyond the Reef.

We settled on the Good Vibrations pantograph which adds some movement but keeps things clean and modern with the quilting.

A cozy Fireside backing finished this off perfectly.

This second quilt is made entirely out of beautiful batik fabric. The pattern is called Sonja's Windows. I believe it was originally feature in a McCall's quilting magazine in 2009, but is now available on Etsy as a standalone ...

Everyone Needs Magic Pins! from If These Threads Could Talk

I have the Extra Long & Quilting Magic Pins, which I use. I did not know Taylor Seville also had Applique, Silk and Patchwork Magic Pins.

They offer 2 fabulous “Try Me” packs. These packs give you a chance to see the variety Taylor Seville offers.

When I design a OBW, I number each column across the top of the quilt and across the bottom section. I have been cutting up scrap paper and numbering them for the number of columns I have. A tedious little job.

Magic pins have these great Flathead pins in Applique, Patchwork, Quilting, Alphabet and Extra ...

Spring Spruce Up from The Quilt Quine

I have been enjoying lovely spring weather this weekend and got stuck into some serious garden tidying. I borrowed a more powerful pressure washer and got rid of the winter slime. It was a messy job but worth it. I had to stop when the old flaky paint looked like it might wash off the walls. I repainted the front of my shed which had gone green and most of the fence which is pretty rotten. After mowing the grass and buying Nessie a new basketball, I felt very satisfied. I even cut down a sycamore tree that was growing ...

Stitching Stuff: Week 12 of 2026 from Life In Pieces

My apologies for not getting this post up earlier today. I've been dealing with some back issues this weekend. Sitting in front of the computer wasn't comfortable at all yesterday. I slept in this morning because I was feeling a lot better. So the post is a lot later than I planned. Stitching time still happened, but not nearly as much as usual.

15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
15 minute days/Mar = 21/21 days
15 minute days/2026 = 80/80 days
Success rate = 100%

I'm hoping the back issue is managed for now and ...

Embroidered samples....how to preserve them, keep them safe. from contemporary embroidery

I have so many embroidered samples, I'm constantly questioning the best way to preserve them, to keep them safe, unscathed.

Large paper sheets are one option as are very large sketchbooks.

I'm still not sure which is the best way if I'm honest.

This is discussed in the video today.

What do you think?

If you receive our newsletter, you know we have a lot of fundraising going on in April. One of the events is a Sew Day - whose preparation has been keeping me busy! One of the big benefits of these Sew Days is that they help us use up a lot of our scraps. This spring, we will be making blocks for Veterans.

To ensure we have cut into strips all the RWB scraps we have acquired, I reorganized all the chunky scraps we have. This took quite a bit of time! But with any reorganizing endeavor, after it ...

Show n Tell from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

In case they missed it in the comments (the two post-op knee people are now chatting to each other), and we have a retired orthopedic nurse amongst the readers—get an icing machine. I've heard that from other people as well. I hope I never need one, but apparently, they are the best thing since sliced bread for recovery!

Thanks to Elle for the suggestion, and good luck to Torri and Shirley!

Worldwide Quilting Day from From My Carolina Home

The third Saturday in March is Worldwide Quilting Day, and our local guild always celebrates it with a challenge show. Our members are given a challenge theme and purchase a fat quarter of the challenge fabric we have to use. This year, the challenge was “Looking Out My Back Door”, and we were admonished not to take it literally. It is taken from the Creedence Clearwater Revival song about imagination. Some of the lyrics were given to us at a meeting last fall. Like these:

There’s a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin’ high heels
Look at all the ...
