What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 We’ve had a couple of really busy weeks at our Prayers and Squares group. I didn’t do a post about it last week though because there wasn’t anything to show that was new. We spent almost the entire afternoon making backs and layering 5 quilts and making the back for a 6th that didn’t get layered due to running out of time. Yesterday, however was much better for doing stuff that needed pictures. Also, I’ve been busy here at home. Janet finished this beautiful top. She picked all the fabrics based on the colours found ...

 Hello Everyone,

Here's an update on several situations. After a few messages back and forth with M, it seems that if I read her text correctly, the designer will make the veil; it's my job to embroider it!! OK -- I think I can handle that. Thanks for the tips from everyone. Now I just need to find out the timing --- and she's in BC, and I'm here! But that's no issue!

As for the house? We didn't have any leaks yesterday, even though the sun was out. My towel stayed dry all day. I spoke to ...

Tags, embellishments, embroidered and stitched papers, tiny artist book pages....

All ongoing explorations of a design theme.

I'm having so much fun with this.

Now I'm wondering where I can go next.

With more time to sew this week, progress was made on the Quilt of Valor begun last week. When we left off, the top was assembled and ready to quilt. It uses a panel with six star blocks and large sections of a patriotic print.

I loaded it on the longarm frame, and began auditioning thread colors looking at light blue, navy, red, and white. I didn’t take any photos of that. Ultimately, I decided on a light blue Glide thread for the top with light blue Bottom Line in the bobbin. The backing is blue with light and ...

 I have amassed quite a collection of quilting books. And sometimes I wonder if I will ever make even one project from the books. I found this book at a thrift shop a couple of years ago.

I have been on a "collage kick" lately.  While I have made one collage with a face on it, I don't have a good photo of it.  But while just goofing around with some of the pieces,  I laid out this face. 

I didn’t have my usual time for cross stitch this week…the kids were home, and the Super Bowl. I also missed a night when I went to the Iowa Hawkeye Women’s game. I don’t feel like I got as much done because of all of that. There was still some stitching…there always is. I didn’t …

 I'm struggling with a cold this week, so I'll keep this short.  You all sure know how to make a girl smile.  Just when I needed a little encouragement, you're there to answer the call.  Nothing makes me happier than to see a post spark a conversation in the comment section like last week.  

I think we can all agree to coin  Julierose's phrase, "Wordy Person".  I 100% represent that.  If it has words involved, I'm in. I grew up playing word games, writing pretend newspapers and creating poetry.   Not to mention I'm the ...

 What a week! I have been running from one activity to another every day. I’m still managing to get some steps in each day for the Walk Across Texas challenge. I try to get at least a two mile walk in every day. The dogs are loving it! 

This morning, Patrick was waiting to go out to go golfing. The weather wouldn't let them go till after 10 am. Which gave me some time to myself. 

I pretty much listened to my audiobook, cleaned the litter box, and ran the vacuum. Then I sat and played my game. When the battery was low, I traded it in for my cross stitching. 

I worked on the left side. I was able to get here, then ended up taking out some of the stitches, because I wasn't on track. Once I got myself back on track of what ...

Not being a coffee drinker, I enjoy my tea. I especially like pouring it from my grandma’s teapot. With that said, I have completed the A Little Break pattern by Satomi Quilts. I’ve had the pattern for a few years, and it seemed like something I could just repetitively do in a few afternoons.

I didn’t intend to copy the pattern but I kind of did. I just couldn’t see it in other colors, or multiple colors for the hearts. I love my grunge collection and chose one for the cups and one for ...
