It's a Start from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends, and Happy Monday! The sun is shining here, but it's cold out. Nice to look at, but I'll probably stay indoors today. It might be the first morning I've felt mostly settled. Not much was accomplished yesterday, but I still felt worn out from the trip. It had me wondering why I felt so tired at home, and yet, not while we were still in the RV. I'd say traveling is tiring, but isn't being in the RV traveling? Well, duh. It's the routine that's missing. If I'm ...

Spring? from South Jersey Quilter

 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.


 

Yesterday was the first Enduro race of the year! Ed and Eddie have belonged to a club since Ed was in his 20's, and Eddie first started carrying times from area to area on a little bike. Now he's been ...

This one will be big! from Quilting and More...

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″ […]

Planning and Cutting for Diabolical Jane from The Colorful Fabricholic

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.


I printed out Jessie's tutorial and studied the images, both of the antique original and her version. Her tutorial uses 4" wide pieces and makes a huge quilt, but I wanted something smaller using 2-1/2" strips so ...

The Quilt Size Guide Every Quilter Should Know from Patchwork Posse

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 ...

Back on the bike from - Barb Robson ::: quilter

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 ...

Kindness Counts, Free Patterns, Flicker Blocks from Canadian Needle Nana

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. 

 Back in 2016, just over ten years ago, I wrote this post called 5 ...

What I’m Working On: March 9th, 2026 from Jo's Country Junction

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. …

Rose Anne's Mystery Quilt from Night Owl Quilting


Rose Anne made this top as part of a mystery project with her local quilting group.  I think this turned out extremely nicely considering she didn't know exactly what she was in for when selecting the fabrics.


The Raindrops pantograph was a nice choice to keep things clean and simple.



Rose Anne decided to take things up a notch and make the quilt truly reversible. This is the beautiful back. I did my best to center things, but it is not something you can really guarantee when loading things on the longarm frame  Rose Anne planned for a generous ...

Weekly update: celebrations, a binding resolution, and remembering from With Strings Attached


The Lake County Women's Coalition annual Women's History Month luncheon was on Saturday.  Each LCWC member organization nominates an honoree who exemplifies the year's theme.   


I'm on the LCWC steering committee as the rep for the Zion Woman's Club but I am also a member of AAUW.  AAUW's honoree was Nan Buckart (bio on left) who was director of education for the Lake County Forest Preserves.  ZWC's honoree was Wendy Driver (bio on right) whose many interests in community activism include gardening (seed-saving, monarchs, zinnias, and more).  


Top:  the ZWC contingent.

Monday - catching up from My Sewing Room

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. 


The Jackrabbit men lost in the first round unfortunately.  But the SDSU Jackrabbit women upset the #1 team from NDSU to win the conference tournament title.  That is 4 years in a ...

Gone To The Dogs - from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


Our weekend started out like this - a beautiful early afternoon for a dirt road hike before the rain was set to come in.

Rain? What rain? Puffy clouds, blue sky - surely they are wrong about the rain?

It wasn't much longer (like we'd reached half-way) and we began to hear rumbles of thunder coming from those clouds.

Closing in on Finishes from Life In Pieces

Most of the quilt alongs/mystery quilts I sew along with start in 1st or 4th quarter.  That only becomes an issue when it's time to produce a finished quilt top for the quilt parade at the end of the quilt along.  That happens for 3 projects over the next 3 weeks. The deadline for the Meadow Mist Designs 2026 Stash Busting Quilt Along is this Wednesday.    



The last 2 blocks in row 4 of Scenic Waypoint are lined up by the sewing machine ready for stitching.

Weekend Update from Quarter-Inch Capers

Oh my, where to start? Betty and I went to garage sale Saturday. We normally don’t go to garage sales, but her sister texted her and said they had a lot of fabric. Well, ok. Off we went. I bought a bag full for $4.50. I failed to take a picture of it; I’ll do that later today. 

I worked on the picket fence border I want to put on my Round Robin quilt. It’s slow going. Since I decided to do scrappy, I feel like the cutting took longer than I had hoped. I have ...

Charming: Independence Trail from Becca's Crazy Projects

I spent the week quilting this charming quilt by doing a couple passes a day. I love how that texture shows up with afternoon light. 
The quilting is subtle as I used a matching cream colored thread. 
Quilted and trimmed. Now for some binding.

Puffed Out! from The Quilt Quine

I had such a busy week that I actually forgot that I had a long weekend. At first I wondered what I was going to do with it. Perhaps I should’ve planned to go away. I had two intense days of long arm quilting mastery teaching which went very well. I also gave a talk to the local Quilt group and everybody stayed awake so that’s always a good sign. It was great to see some of my quilts again which just live in a suitcase. I have been driving around with them all week because I can ...
