Nine More from Quarter-Inch Capers

I am still working on the crazy quilt blocks…..I got nine more finished.

That makes 22 total done so far. I have some more 10” squares cut, and I’m still debating using the crazier eight templates on those. Here’s one I did several years ago with the crazier eight’s templates.

I used a 2” sashing between the blocks, and I need to think about whether or not I want sashing again. Maybe a 1” black sashing this time? I will lay the blocks out both ways when I get a little farther along and see whether ...

Donation Quilts--one done, and one in progress from The Cozy Quilter

I finished quilting and binding the donation quilt for Camp Kintail this week. It has been delivered to someone who was attending today's auction/dinner fundraiser and I hope it goes to a good home. I had just enough of the backing fabric to use it for the binding. I quilted it with straight lines using my walking foot and navy blue thread.

The second donation quilt is for the Christmas Raffle at my late MIL's nursing home. The auxiliary at the home are very active in supporting and providing programs for the residents of the home and ...

Fabric Shopping from The Knitting Quilter

I've had a bunch of doctor's appointments in the last few weeks. To reward myself, I went to my local quilt shop and bought Christmas fabric for the mats I plan on making for Christmas gifts. I could use just this fabric or mix and match with some of my older fabrics. I still haven't decided.

We had a birthday party last weekend for my daughter and daughter-in-law. Their birthdays are 2 weeks apart. My daughter has a friend who owns a bakery so we decided to order the cake from her. My daughter-in-law prefers pies so ...

Catch Up of Other Activities! from The Modern Diary

I went to the Strong Tower Gaming Convention this year. It was super fun. I stayed in the hotel with Ashley and Miranda. I was super tired by Sunday, but really enjoyed the experience!

I attended my either online Zoom Retreat with the Booktube Besties. It is more fun every time! So nice now that my entire book club (created several retreats ago from retreat people) also was there and we all chat on the side and really have a blast!

I also really wanted to see VE Schwab so I bought a ticket to see her online. She was ...

Saturday Sparks Link Party 739 from Pieced Pastimes

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 739!

Starting off today's party with our current view!

We are in the midst of the fall shift here in New Hampshire.

Some trees are bare, others are exploding with color and a select few have just begun to change.

Leaves of every color have danced their final dance and cover the ground beneath.

One windy day could push us to past peak.

And yet, it is still beautiful.

"I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house."

~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

Now, onto the party,
First up, the Fabulous ...

My Birthday! from The Modern Diary

For my birthday Kathy got me flowers and a game I really wanted (and am still waiting for) called Eternal Decks. She also watched the girls so Hannah and Jeremy and I could go to Beyond the Board and play games again.

First we played Fort! We loved it so much I bought it the next day at Noble Knights (and the kids bought one for my birthday and had to keep it too!). Taught it to Kathy later and she likes it too!

After that we played Ra. I liked this one though I do not think it could ...

Food and Family from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We've reached the end of a hectic week. It's going to be good to get back into more of a regular routine next week. We're getting our winter vaccines (flu and COVID) on Monday, and I'll get my pedicure on Thursday. Aside from that, it'll be mostly business as usual.

On today's agenda, we need to run a couple of errands in town, but here's the good news: The McRib is back!!!!! So, we'll get lunch at McDonald's. You might start getting the idea that McDonald's ...

Scrappy Four Patch Chain from The Colorful Fabricholic

Behind the scenes I've been prepping a new project to take to social sewing. A while back I made a lot of light/dark four patches, and now they're on the wall with dark squares, in an Irish Chain layout.

I'll clip these pieces in four-patch batches for blocks, number them, and kit it all up to take along. First, though, I need to replace that busy rust print that calls too much attention to itself.

My husband saw this on the wall and said he really likes it, likes the colors. He rarely comments on my ...

I'm back home! from South Jersey Quilter

So on the night of September 2, I had a prolonged episode of afib. I have a history of it, but this went on, so off to the ER we went at 3 a.m. on the September 3. They did cardiac enzymes, and what should have been about 10 was 900. I was admitted, and scheduled for a cardiac cath.

Cath, via my right wrist, showed 3 vessels 90% occluded. That meant a bypass surgery. I was transferred to Cooper, and it was Labor Day weekend.

September 9 was the big day. It's a brutal surgery, where they ...

Off To A Grand Start! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!

The dining room is full -

The porch tables are empty.

While there is sunshine in the afternoons back there to be enjoyed as long as it lasts, it's safe to say that meal times have all been moved inside.

And walking into the clatter of forks on plates, bursts of laughter and so much chatter is also a heartwarming thing when I come through the front door.

Take the time to create memories! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

The book I finished yesterday (I couldn't help myself) is Picking Up the Pieces by J. B. Abbott.

Jigsaw puzzle mystery

If you Google fiction jigsaw puzzle books, you'll find a few more. They are light fluff, like the knitting, scrapbooking, quilting murder mysteries, but it's good to read light fluff from time to time. It gives the brain a break!! I believe I ordered two more (physical) ones from the library!

What was the title of yesterday's blog? "If things aren't right, fix them now!"

Well, I did it again. I had a few ...

RSC26 - Week #43 from My Sewing Room

Where has October gone? I know there is still a full week to go, but . . . suddenly we'll be turning the calendar page again.

Buckeye Butterflies is now a flimsy. The blocks finish at 8", so the flimsy is 48 x 64 which is a nice size for snuggling under on the couch. I played with the idea of adding borders, but decided I like as is. There are 5 blocks left over from this set, but hopefully they will find a home in some other project before too long.

I have some small baskets holding the smaller RSC block ...

Still Quilting from Romany Quilting

I'm still working away on machine quilting my RSC bordered four patch quilt, I had hoped to get it finished this week, but no. If I'm honest, I've been out every day this last week, so not much time at all sitting in front of the sewing machine. Never mind, perhaps I'll get this project finished next week.

Not finished yet

Gemma still seems to find any quilt in progress I've left on the sewing machine cabinet at the end of the day. It's so thoughtful of me to leave the quilts out for ...
