I told you in an earlier post that I had four doctor appointments last week. Thank goodness I don’t have a regular job. I’d never be able to do it. No place would ever allow me enough time to go to all of my appointments. Well…Thursday was an easy appointment. I had to have an …

When is the Thanksgiving Row Sew Along?

The Thanksgiving Row Sew Along runs from September ...

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to September. It’s been feeling pretty fall-like here. Gazing out the window this morning, the sky is overcast…or maybe it’s smoke. Skies were smoky yesterday evening from a fire across the valley from us. We’re in no danger where we are, but the smoke was a little eerie when you consider there isn’t a breath of wind.

It was a pretty easy-going day yesterday. There was a quick trip to the grocery store, but I was home by lunchtime. After that, I had the afternoon to sew. The first ...

I spent a lot of time in my sewing room this month. It's been over 100 degrees, often over 110 degrees, all month, too hot to do anything except stay inside in the air conditioning. We're actually having a bit of a cool-down this week, but next week it'll be back up in the 110s again. And no, it's not a dry heat; the humidity is up during our monsoon season.

 Hello Everyone,

Snowflake Lodge in Arnold, CA was magically transformed yesterday—but not into just any quilting studio. No, no. It became a full‑blown quilting metropolis, complete with the hum of machines, beautiful fabric, and the unmistakable sound of quilters joyfully unpacking enough projects to survive a three‑year blizzard.

Welcome to my stop on the Quilt Block Mania Blog Hop. Each of the designers participating in the hop are sharing a block pattern inspired by this month’s theme, which is Harvest.

This is my seventh year participating in QBM, and I hope you’ve enjoyed my free block pattern each month! If you’ve missed any, the patterns for previous months are available in my shop.

To learn how to get my free pattern, see How to Get the Free Block at the end of this post.

This is Gladioli by the artist, Adrian Paul Allison. Here is the link to Adrian's Wikipedia page.

Gladioli are the flower of August, my birth month. It blooms large and showy and in many colours. As much as I wish it were my favourite flower, it is not. In fact, if I lined up all flowers it would probably land near the end of the pack. It's a little too over the top for my liking. While I admire showy, it's not me. I prefer the wild flowers, the tiny, the ones that bloom against all odds ...

This fun sunflower quilt block is a take on a Dresden fan pattern, without having to make a single Dresden! This block

The post Sunflower Quilt Block appeared first on Always Expect Moore.

August seemed to go both fast and slow. The high temperatures did make the month drag a bit.  I'm ready for autumn temps, but I'm not ready for it to be September.  If this year is like past years, I'll blink and it will be December!  

Here's hoping for a good start on the day! I have resent emails to the class groups for Show and Tell, 40 Shades of Grey, and My Kinda Town. I just sent them a few minutes ago. If you did NOT receive an email about one of those classes, and you have signed up, please let me know. And this will be the FINAL call for signing up! You can also forward the class link to a friend if you want, but I need to firm those lists up so I can move on to prepping the classes ...

Finally, we turn the calendar page and it seems that fall may be coming. After miserable heat in August, I am looking forward to cooler days, wearing sweaters, the colors of autumn. Arising early, I love watching the view of the mountain ridges and valleys as it changes every day. The light in the early morning this day was diffuse because of low clouds. A little shower was passing through.

All the humidity makes the flowers happy. The dahlia has given me more blooms than usual this year. I let the previous blooms go to seed and collected them last ...
