Getting Quilts Ready For Thursday from Quilting My Way

 This morning, I was busy. I worked on the laundry and vacuumed the house. I was working on picking stuff up. I really need to do that downstairs because I haven't touched it since they came for sew days. 

Then I went for my walk. It was hot out, so I only made it around the block 6 times. I really wanted to do 7 rounds, but when it gets that hot, I want to hide. 

I played for a bit, then I pulled the quilts out of the back room to label them and have them ready for ...

My Second Cross Stitch Kitty Pillow from Knitting Quilter


 This is the second cross stitch kitty pillow I made. The first one I made for a gift. I really loved it and just had to make one for me! However, there are quite a few steps before you get this cute pillow.


After cross stitching the cat, I had to iron on a lightweight interfacing. After the interfacing was done, I had to make dots 1/2" around the cat as well as a parallel 1" around the cat. The outer line was the cutting line and the inner line was the sewing line. Makes sense!


At this point ...

Bra Shopping… from Jo's Country Junction

You can ask any of my girls…they all know bra shopping with me is the absolute worst. #1…I don’t have big boobs. I would be like a size in between A and B…a little closer to a B but not a full B. #2 I’m not slim, so I need a larger around size…like a …

Monday: A Comedy of Silliness from Jo's Country Junction

Monday was a crazy day for me here at my house. It was an Anders day, and also a day when I had to watch the boys in the evening until Craig was done at the farm. Our day started out pretty normal. I had it in my head to try to get the toy …

Mother's Day ~ Sew & Tell - 5/11/26 from Melva Loves Scraps


Thanks for stopping by!  I'll start off by saying Happy Mother's Day to all the moms -- wannabe moms, birth moms, stepmoms, bonus moms, adoptive moms, mentor moms and spiritual moms.  And especially to my friends for whom this holiday will be hard. Friends who will be standing by gravesites this Mother’s Day. Friends whose moms haven’t been a part of their lives in many years.  And those who have challenging relationships with their moms who try to navigate Mother’s Day with grace but some necessary distance.

I hope that your day was blessed.  I'm ...

Busy Day from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. There wasn't a minute to waste yesterday if I was to get everything done. After writing my post, I headed straight to my slow-stitching. (Priorities, people.) And then I went outside to check on things there. My first stop was the greenhouse. With so many seedlings in pots, I'm checking the water daily. There, I was happy to discover sprouts in two of the three zinnia pots.


Also, the poppies are large enough now that I think it's safe to plant them in their permanent barrel outside the greenhouse.


We're planning to ...

Twisted pole table runner from Stitching Matters

Finally, a little quilting again.  Hubby and I have been flat on our backs in bed for 9 full days with bronchitis. The weather played along, cold, wet and windy and made staying in bed worth it. The bad part is that with bronchitis, you don’t have body aches, a stuffed head, or any other flu symptoms, but you just don’t have enough oxygen to do the smallest thing.  Not to mention the constant coughing and feeling of drowning in your own phlegm. 

I had 5 quilts waiting to be done and couldn’t do anything about it ...

Little House on the Prairie Remake from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

 Hello Everyone,

So much has been happening since the retreat that my posting schedule has basically gone on vacation without me. Then, out of nowhere, I get an email from Marcus Fabrics saying that one of my Gentry’s Mill fabrics has been chosen by the costume designers for the Little House on the Prairie remake on Netflix… and I’m pretty sure I had to read it three times just to make sure I hadn’t accidentally opened someone else’s email.


This is the fabric of mine that was selected.


Here is the fabric in Mary's dress ...

To Do List for the Week of 5/12/2026 from Life In Pieces

My back has been slowly getting better. Bending is still problematic, but otherwise I'm mostly pain free.  My therapy has included cycling, walking and sewing.  Movement is the best thing for the back and with all the walking between rooms I did working on Chilowie, I moved a lot!  It's a blessing that the sewing room was one of the places I could go and not hurt. That was really good for last week's to do list. 


To Do List for 5/5/2026

1.  Old Town: Work on borders ✔

2.  Chilhowie: Sandwich quilt and start marking ...

Mostly A Desk Day! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


Yesterday was MOSTLY a desk day.

There were a few things I needed to take care of at the inn - the last of the laundry, the making of towel baskets for incoming retreaters, the recovering of pressing stations.  Routine.

I kind of like that routine when the house is quiet and I am the only one there.

But once that was done it was time to get down to business.  Except:

Good things come in threes! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

What is with this weather? It's May 12, and we have frost warnings! The heat is still on in the house, and I am mostly wearing my Patagonia down sweater when I'm out walking the girls - with mitts on! At least it did warm up in the afternoon, but I see we have a frost warning again this morning. 

That is life, and one must get on with what we do! It would just be nice to sit outside for a bit! Without being bundled up in quilts and jackets. And the girls are desperate to have that ...

Sew Pretty Tote from From My Carolina Home

I got around to the embroidery tote this past week, and made good progress. I had embroidered several things on a cream color tone on tone print including this sentiment, along with a couple of sewing machines. The Japanese print I loved only had a small amount. So I cut it into four equal pieces. I added more tone on tone white to the bottom of the embroidery to match that measurement. Then, the sides were sewn to the middle and this became the front of the bag. The width is 22 inches, limited by the size of the zipper ...

Beach Bums ladies from My Sewing Room

There is nothing actually ironed onto the Beach Bums background yet, but I have a good start on the gazillion pieces that will eventually be ironed on. Choosing colors might be the most difficult task.


The palm fronds are all cut out from the gradient green batik.  There will be 3 of the fronds on each side of the wall hanging, as kind of a frame around the scene.


Lady #1 has most of her pieces now - hat, swimsuit, towel, and beach bag.  There is a martini in a glass, and there will be some dragon flies and flip flops ...
