Orange Scraps from The Cozy Quilter

I cut out some orange squares and half square triangles this week for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks for May. Today, I made one orange block...there are more pieces cut out for the other blocks but nothing is put together yet. I will show them in a future post when they are done. The background fabric has orange square dots instead of round ones. It has been in my stash for a while. These blocks use up most of a fat quarter of background fabric.

Here is my block collection so far. I have decided to make 9 blocks ...

Off the beaten track in Rome from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Sadly, this was my last day in Rome. I’ve got everything arranged and checked in for my long flight home tomorrow — well that will be today. I’m writing this the night before, so you have something to read. And then hopefully on Saturday everything will be back to normal - whatever that is. So as you read this, I’ll likely be on one of two planes. DH and I splurged on the fare, so don’t feel sorry for me and the long flights.

As I’ve mentioned, I love traveling solo because I can do whatever I ...

May Chookshed number release from Dreamworthy Quilts

Well, another month has come and gone in 2026. How did you do on your April challenge? I hope you did better than me. I was gone overseas for a trip and didn't even start my goal. Perhaps I'll catch up later in the year.

The number for May is #1.

For me it is to hopefully complete my Aurora quilt top. This would have been done a year ago except my daughter wants it and needs it to be king sized for her bed. I need to make more than double the blocks and cannot find the ...

Fun, work, work, fun, work, fun from Chocolate Cake Quilt Designs

Earlier this month, I had fun stitching two of three small cross stitch projects (63 x 63). They are part of a seeds series published in the mid- to late 1990s, and I was surprised how quickly they stitched up, considering the amount of prep that went into them.

While the instructions were thorough, they were not at all presented in a way that my brain found easy to gather supplies for and work through.

Additionally, the symbols on the watermelon chart were so muddied, bordering on indecipherable, I felt compelled to gather graph paper, the pattern photo, and a ...

Psalm 10, Fiber Fun - or not? Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There!

I hope you had an amazing week! We're going to several of my grandson's baseball games each week. This weekend will be filled with his basketball games. I love having this time with my family while the weather is still cool enough to attend. Heat is my kryptonite, so soon I'll just be hearing about his baseball games rather than attending.

I finally had some time at home to play with fibers and read. I listened to a fabulous audio book, The Phone Booth at the End of the World by Laura Imai Messina. In ...

I Like Thursday #313 from The Knitting Quilter

It's time for Thursday Likes! Please visit LeeAnna to link up with more participating blogs that post fun and uplifting content. Let's all wish Molly a Happy Birthday! She is 12 years old today. I can't believe it! We got her at 4 months old and has been with us ever since. She's always had a healthy appetite so I thought it was funny that she was sitting on my walking pad. She may want to use it! The walking pad is a gift to me from my daughter's boyfriend. He's the best!

ODE TO BETSEY #1 AND #2 from Q-BITS

ODE TO BETSEY #1

One of my favorite blocks to work with is a simple, triangular geometric design. I first discovered this traditional block in Linda Lipsett's book "Remember Me" about a friendship quilt and it's story about the owner, Betsey Wright Lee. I have adapted it to use in my quilts several times. I wanted to make a gift for a quilting friend; and since this is the 250th anniversity of the United States, I immeditately thought of Betsey's Block in red, white, and blue. I decided I also needed one for myself to decorate with ...

Big Panel Fun from Kat & Cat Quilts

Hello again, friends! Louise here to share more Covered in Love quilts made from YOUR orphan blocks. This batch features panels that were donated from a local quilt shop in Kat's area.

The first two small quilts use these super sweet 18" square panels with flowers, rainboots, and rollerskates. Do you recognize the English paper pieced hexagons made by Bev? These are the last two of her blocks.

Next is a column quilt in springy colors. The panels are small and vertical, and such pretty flowers!

Here's a close up of two panels. I added fifteen 8" blocks ...

Too Late and Too Early from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It was a no-sewing day yesterday. This PT business is getting in the way of my sewing. On the other hand, I can't deny that it's helping. If it can help me avoid a surgery, then it will have been worth it.

My morning activities included some time outside. I filled the hummingbird feeders, and then took a walk around. The azaleas are working hard at taking over as the stars of the garden.

They're going to have plenty of competition from the rhododendrons. They too are started opening.

This is one of ...

Beauty Product, Summer Primrose Blocks, Leaders and Enders Too from Canadian Needle Nana

Thank you all who identified this border below as Prairie Points...what a sweet name and, of course, I had to look that up. Turns out there are tons of video tutorials showing how to make this. How did I not know about it till now?? It looks really intricate but makes such a unique border. Here is what I'm talking about in case you missed it.

April is ending from South Jersey Quilter

The month went by pretty fast. This week is rainy, and cooler, but that's ok.

At 11k stitches, and almost 3% done, Christmas Shoppes is starting to look like something. When doing colors with a lot of stitches, it goes pretty fast. I did 800 stitches last night, a dark brown and a black.

I picked up my new glasses yesterday. I love the toppers to it.

I got a bunch of toppers, including a sunglasses one. Ralph likes the sparkly green the best, so I'm wearing that one right now.

Every evening I've had the electric ...

Road trip and more from My Sewing Room

I'm working on week 4 of the mystery pattern test. Steady progress, with just a few questions for the designer to clarify a step or two. Nothing I can show however.

Tuesday evening we made a short road trip to Sioux Falls for granddaughter Olivia's spring orchestra concert. She plays the viola in the 6th grade orchestra at her middle school. I'm glad we're only an hour away.

The difference from the fall concert to the spring concert is quite amazing as their skills grow dramatically. In her case, this is her 3rd year playing the ...
