{I've Been Reading} from Michelle's Romantic Tangle

The Alchemist of All Hallows Eve by Gigi Pandian

Take everything that's wonderful about the Accidental Alchemist series and then add old fashioned Halloween traditions and a seance. Zoe and Max are looking for a house to share and she's found the perfect place complete with an orchard and a backyard cottage with a full kitchen where Dorian the gargoyle can create his vegan masterpieces. One tiny problem -- it's known as the Murder House and there might be bodies in the walls. Or clowns. The urband legends are just a bit unclear. I've loved every book ...

Labor Day Visitors from Jo's Country Junction

On Labor Day, Kelli and the kids came over for a visit. Rick made lasagna for us, along with his chocolate brownies (recipe coming soon). Kelli and I were back to working on Eli’s quilt. I had gotten it this far… Kelli decided she wanted a border and more squares. Here it is with a …

Midweek: Hike Lake County 2027 and back to quilting from With Strings Attached

 Hike Lake County 2027 is underway.  Each year the Lake County Forest Preserve District marks 1.5-2.5-mile trails in 14 preserves.  Participants have from mid-August to the end of November to walk, run, or bike 7 of them to win a commemorative medal.   Though HLC began in 1999 we started in 2020 (with Stevens 'guarding the parking lot' while I walked). Thus this will be my 7th year.   

My goal is to complete all 14 of the designated trails in the shortest time possible.  I got a late start because I was in Scotland and then last week was ...

» Stitching Matters

After grinding through the cement that formed the tabletop, I could clean most of the house except the scatter cushion covers, the cushions on the dining room chairs, and the ceiling fans.  Hubby will still plaster the wall before painting, and that will also create dust.  I will wait until this is done before cleaning thoroughly.  The gap for the anthracite stove has been created, and progress has been made.

This quilt maker is fortunate; she has a friend with a beach house who allows her to use it.  She then decided to make him a table runner and wanted ...

Just Checking In from Shawkl

 Wow, it's been many months since I've posted. This summer has been extremely busy at times...and in the "down times" I've been too pooped out to think about posting. The weather here in Alabama has been HOT, HOT, HOT! Just drains my energy, which also contributes to my lack of desire to sit in front of a computer each day.

Anyhow, all is going okay here. Yes, some issues in my life...but, nothing that keeps me down for long. The worst is that a couple of weeks ago my computer (hate Windows 11) has been ...

Have you ever been in a bank robbery? from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

That would be a good question to use for those icebreakers. You know - the one that asks you to write something about you that no one knows! Wait for the story!

Maybe I'll consider some container gardening next year. Cherry tomatoes and maybe cucumber. I'll probably need to put that on my calendar because next spring I'll be excited about something else and forget until it's too late. 

But I agree, gardening and yard work are as hard or as easy as you want them to be. We went the easy route with everything being a ...

Keeping up with Marigold from My Sewing Room


The Marigold mystery from Meadow Mist has been very easy to keep up with so far.  Last month we made 9 blocks.  And this month again we're making 9 blocks, but slightly smaller ones.  There are 4 Chain blocks. 


And there are 5 star blocks.  This block differs from the August star blocks by the points.  Last month we did simple Sawtooth Stars with Flying Geese for points. This this time the points were made with quarter square triangles.

The Society of Second Chances from Happy Cottage Quilter

book cover for The Society of Second Chances

The Society of Second Chances, a story creatively crafted by Deborah Raney, is heartwarming and makes you think outside the box.

Rachel, Helen, Jennifer and Evelyn, four strangers thrown together by an anonymous benefactor. They have been chosen to be the Society of Second Chances. Four envelopes each containing an amount of money to be used to help a young woman getting out of prison. When the letter of the assignment is read, it affects one of the women. 

This story is good, clean with a hint of mystery. Looking forward ...

Sewing 72" long seams.................. from Exuberant Color


There were 10 seams the first direction, 72" long, and I got 8 of them sewn by bedtime last night.






This was the pile on the sewing cabinet when I quit for the night. There are storms predicted this morning and I hope we get some of the rain.  If it fizzles out I will have to be out watering the tomatoes and cucumbers today.

September 2026 UFO challenge from Just Sew Sue

 


This is probably my UFO challenge piece with the most work to be done and what I had done, I soon found was one stitch out. It is summer by Barbara Ana ddesigns. My counting is not the best. I decided that I needed to focus on this piece as daily goals were not working for me. On Saturday I worked across the bottom of the piece to the base of the neck It is not quite complete, but I am added to it whilst working on the face when I had half a thread left.


On Sunday I worked ...

Questions Answered from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

 Occasionally I get questions from readers and I try to reply back, but they are almost always from anonymous comments and I have no way to answer. Lately, I'm even having trouble replying to comments if you even leave a name. I type something out and it comes back immediately telling me the email is undeliverable. Alas, technology is not my forte.So, I'll try and answer your questions in a

One Year Ago… from Jo's Country Junction

I was looking at the calendar while I was scheduling blog posts. September 9th. Yep, that’s a day I’ll always remember. 365 days ago, I was lying in a hospital bed at the University of Iowa Hospital. I had just had back surgery. I was a ball of emotion. Was this going to stop the …

One More Day from Quilting My Way

One more day of driving to Olympia. It does get old. And the drivers in Olympia are awful! 

I waited to go up to see Patrick till after 10 am. I needed to go to Kaiser first for blood work. Once that was done - there were 25 people in front of me! - I headed over to see Patrick. He was doing good. There were so many people coming in to see him. He finally told me about his doctor's visits. They are all happy with how fast he is healing. He always was a fast healer. It sounds like ...

Cable Socks from Knitting Quilter


I finished the socks I've been working on for my daughter-in-law. I just have to wash them and block them. Her birthday is later on this month so I finished with plenty of time! I love the cables. They're so much easier than you think!

I took Lily in for her annual check up. I can't believe it but she's 15 years old! Anyways, her bloodwork seems fine although her kidneys seem to be slowing down. I guess that's to be expected since she's considered to be a senior cat. She really hated going ...
