What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Just because the manufacturer says you can't cut the grey mat doesn't mean you can't! You should send pictures!!! 

Well, yesterday was a total write-off when it came to sewing. In fact, I haven't touched any of the sewing machines in days! And that seems to be typical for me. I have things to sew, and hopefully that will happen today and tomorrow. 

Most of the demos are prepped - I might have said yesterday that everything is in order, and that would have been a lie. I had to open my appliqué demo box to get ...

It's a special day today, it would have been our 43rd wedding anniversary.  We reached 41 years together, and then, unbelievably, Robin passed away just 2 weeks later.  But we had so many wonderful years together, and I'm especially grateful we spent a two week holiday in Rotorua the previous year, celebrating our 40th anniversary there.  Rotorua was where we had our honeymoon, so it was wonderful to return and visit old haunts and discover new places.  Going to a hotel for High Tea was on my list of things to do.

 DH was away yesterdayand with the exception of chores...ie: horses, heifers, chickens, cats, bees, and Skeet...I spent much of the day sewing. I really wanted to get my Snuggle Season triangles off of the floor so I started there. And after 5 weeks, it's finally a quilt top. It took most of the day, as I starched a lot, and pressed the seams open each time I added a piece. I don't

I have very little to blog about.  I did literally nothing yesterday but nap off and on.  Mike and I stayed up late on Tuesday watching the election results.  We were disappointed with Arkansas results as they were very red like usual.  We so hoped for some other candidates in that race but we loved […]

Janis took a little time from her busy days to share some goodies her quilting group received from all of you. Janis writes: Your blog writing on October 1st was very nice. You are super thoughtful. When I returned home from visiting our daughter, seven more boxes of quilts and fabric were waiting for me. …

 Today Patrick was out the door for golfing. I slept for a bit longer then got up. I had a list of things that needed to be done. The kitchen was in a mess, and I HATE that. So, first thing was to clean up the kitchen, cut up the garlic bread into croutons. I did the first batch and then waited on Patrick to spice the second batch. I got laundry going as well. 

Then I went for my walk. I got 6 laps done. It was a little chilly this morning. 

Came back in and went downstairs to ...

I've a good excuse for not posting. . . all my spare time is with fabric and my sewing machine. What fun. Well at first, not -- I found a box of blocks that I'd made from scraps with the intention of sewing them into a quilt or two. However, that was a total underestimation. I actually cried when I realized this pile of blocks was likely enough for at least a dozen or more.

So I began. Right now, I've three finished, one ready to bind, and six tops waiting to be sandwiched. And the box is only half ...

I’d kind of given up on quilt books. I have more than plenty filled with projects that I’ve made. I still look at them often, but do I make quilts from them…no. I end up making all of the UFOs and projects that people send me. Why do I need any more books? Then I …

One day recently, perhaps it was Saturday, I pulled out some pieces of fabric from my "chunks and pieces" collection.  I was not using yardage for this.  I intended to use  what I made from this technique to make a quilted notebook cover.  That is one of my go-to projects when I just want to play with fabric.  

Cutting the fabric into strip - just a rough size, no need to measure exactly for this - I was thinking about color relationships.  I started with the aqua, lime green, yellow and purple. Then I decided to add some darker green,  a midtone ...

Good morning!

I'm trying to clear the decks ahead of the upcoming Bonnie Hunter mystery. Here are a couple of things I just finished.

This scrappy pineapple quilt was my first experience with the Creative Grids Pineapple Trim Tool--I love it! Once you get the process in your head, it is basically fool-proof, and it results in nice, neat, SQUARE blocks.

Good morning, my friends. We had an epic grocery list yesterday because we hadn't been to the grocery store in nearly two weeks. On our way home, we passed by this pretty tree decked out in its fall colors. I've seen a few of these around with three colors of leaves on a single three.

Thankfully, the shopping was all done and the groceries put away before noon, which left me lots of time in the day for sewing. My first stop was to clip the Cats in Pajamas and get started hand-sewing the binding. Before I stopped ...
