What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Machine quilting this quilt has been a bright spot in my last month.  I had so much fun with the bright colors and the "accuracy isn't important" aspects of my latest quilt finish.

 Still working on 3 quilts at the same time…finished the Quilts for Kids donation project, Creamie loves it!

Next up, the Jelly Roll Smoothie , waiting on backing fabric 

And the third one jelly roll jumble. I have half the blocks made

And there’s a 4th one, Victory. It’s a longer project but I have all the blocks done and started making rows. It’s a GE Designs quilt along, clue every two weeks, so it fits in perfectly 

 

 

Time for a simple project that uses narrow scraps from my bins.  I always enjoy making any type of string piecing that doesn't require a lot of thought or planning.

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday’s drive was pretty easy. Just about 90 miles, and almost no traffic. We’re in the hinterlands, and so there’s not a lot to see. We passed by a few barns.

I have gotten a few questions about the cross stitch wall in my sewing studio, so I thought I would finally give you the full tour! These are all patterns I have loved stitching over the last few years, from quick weekend projects to pieces that took weeks to complete, and I have slowly filled the wall with some of my favorite finishes. Take a peek at the photos below to see how I styled my cross stitch wall, and discover which other cross stitch finishes I have tucked into the cute corners of my sewing space. Lucky for you ...

Look at me—behind the times when it comes to a digital wallet. I thought it was only for credit cards and things like that, but digital tickets? Who knew? My "tech" guru did NOT tell me that. But then, he's not really a guru. I'm not sure I'll use it for boarding passes, because I can check my upgrade status through the boarding pass, so I'll keep using the airline app. 

I wonder if you do get an upgrade, which is usually issued about ten minutes before boarding, if that would automatically get transferred to ...

Well, I'm not a techie!  I spent all day yesterday just trying to get thru the administrative stuff at Shopify and I've decided to put it all on hold for now.  I don't have the patience for figuring all this stuff out so for now, I'll just stay at Etsy and put up with their nonsense.  More later.

Just one quarter left in 2026 to complete what ever plans one had for getting quilty things done this year.  When the year starts in January, it's so easy to think you've got the whole year ahead, so much time to get projects moved along and finished.  By October, it's where did the year go and why don't I have more done?  The last two months of the year have big holidays in them, so it's hard to make up time for what you didn't get done earlier in the year.  Considering all that ...

I also faced a lot of hard things this week, the new therapist said I'm to go 24 hours without talking badly to myself and I've had to keep resetting that clock all week. I hired a lawyer to represent me in my upcoming divorce, faced a lot of online challenges and not slept well again. 

So that makes writing a list of "likes" harder... sorry y'all

I like ...

A while ago I posted some quilt finishes from Anita. She sent even more pictures of finished quilts. She writes:These 2 were from Robin Y of Colton, CA. I used the popcorn pattern on the tractor quilt with a green gingham backing. On the gray one, I used Spilled Ink as the quilting pattern with …

This morning, I tried to sleep in but Patrick got me up because I needed to go with Debbie to our Lewis County Veterans Administrative Meeting. He took the car, and I realized after he left that the quilts we needed for the presentation were in the car. So, he had to meet us at the courthouse. 

The meeting started at 11 am. We presented what we do for the veterans and let them all know it's all volunteers and the donations we get are for fabrics and the like. We told them it's all on donations. Showed ...

…and some perspective. 

Being in the new sewing room is wonderful. Being in the fabric/cutting room is wonderful. I hope this is a long-lasting solution to the hiccups I’ve had in my quest to make more of anything. 

Mod Owls Revival has been the top priority because the last class session is Thursday. I started on the flying geese last Friday. They were constructed in the four-at-a-time no-waste method. This is not my favorite way to construct flying geese, but I followed the cutting directions for creating them the way the pattern designer instructed, and decided I would ...

I’m having some survivor’s guilt. It’s a real thing. I get it the worst when someone with cancer dies. My first real experience with it was when my niece Jody died. She was four years younger than me and my best friend. When she passed, her kids were all still in school. Some were in …
