Quiet Friday - Relaxed Day from Quilting My Way

This morning, I was up and had to get ready to head out before my war game challenge. I had a few things to do today. 

First stop was to the church to pick up a quilt we gave them and one that Linda Nelson did for us. She does such beautiful quilts for us. 

It's a little short but it's awesome! I love this quilt!

Then I went to Safeway to get a few things. Stopped to say hi to Phillip. 

With all that done, I was ready to come back home. I really didn't want ...

Candlewicking from Kat & Cat Quilts

Welcome, friends! Louise here. Today I have a quilt made from blocks embroidered by Moira's Mom to share.


Moira is a member of my quilt guild, an online-only group called Sunshine.  


Moira sent me eight blocks made with an embroidery technique called "candlewicking."


"Candlewicking, or candlewick is a form of whitework embroidery that traditionally uses an unbleached cotton thread on a piece of unbleached muslin. It gets its name from the nature of the soft spun cotton thread, which was braided then used to form the wick for candles. Motifs are created using a ...

It's time for Thursday Likes! Please visit LeeAnna to link up with more blogs posting happy and fun content on a weekly basis. I finished quilting this baby quilt this morning.

CENTENNIAL STATE from Q-BITS


This quilt was designed and made for the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Colorado admitted as the 38th state of the United States on August 1, 1876 by President Ulysses S. Grant.  Its entry followed a long, 15-year journey from its creation as a territory in 1861.

 The colors for this quilt were borrowed from the Colorado state flag that was designed by Andrew Carlisle Carson in 1911 and adopted by the General Assembly with revisions in 1928 and 1964.

The blue represent the blue skies of the region; the white symbolizes the snow-capped mountains and the silver mines ...

Out with the Old from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. My yesterday started with a long list of to-do's. Unsurprisingly, I didn't get through all of it, but there was a good amount of progress. But first...out with the old, in with the new. St. Patrick's Day is history, and Easter is approaching. My first priority was to switch out my holiday decor. 

First, I hung the little Bunny Garden on the wall between the kitchen and dining room. If I'm remembering right, this was a free pattern from Lynette Anderson at one time. It's no longer free, but you ...

Guess?, March Mad Weather, Slow Stitching Projects from Canadian Needle Nana

I can tell by the window's light when it's time to get up in the mornings. By 6:30 there is a certain brightness creeping in that tells me it's time to start the day. How wonderful to be able to start my days by the light rather than alarm clocks. I am always thankful to be retired.

I got to a thrift store recently and had quite a good poke about. One of the things in my header photo was a real find. I'd commented before that sometimes I think things in those stores are ...

Online Inspiration, Wool Applique, 3 Ingredient Squares from Canadian Needle Nana

We were plunged back into Christmasy looking winter on Saturday. It was beautiful outside in my woods.

 I tramped about while the dogs ran madly around, sniffing new tracks here and there. The air was so cool and fresh and enjoyable. Below is the woods at the back door with a glimpse of the old tree house. 
This Wednesday morning is cool, windchill making it -18C but the sun is shining so another very pretty wintry looking day. But staying this cool means no melting today.
I've been trying to choose which of my quilt tops to get to ...

Positively Scrappy: A Finished Quilt and a Quick Tutorial from The Colorful Fabricholic

I'm calling this latest scrap quilt Positively Scrappy. 



It's a donation quilt going to an agency that assists victims of sexual violence, mostly teen girls (think trafficking, stepfather issues, etc.). We learned a couple years ago that their teen clients gravitate to quilts that have black in them. This quilt has a variety of black and charcoal prints, but also a lot of color in the low volume background fabrics. Whenever I can include Plus motifs I think it gives the quilt a subtle hopeful and positive vibe. 

For what is essentially a black and white quilt, Positively ...

Moving right along! from South Jersey Quilter

 Wow, March is more than half way over! We're having more seasonal temps now, highs in the 40's and 50's. 


 This is a new coffee/tea chain that is opening all over. They assemble the buildings off site, and bring them in halves to the locations. Steph and Dan got coffee while they were here, and Steph got a raspberry macchiato, which I tried. Now Ralph gets me one each Thursday morning on his way home from breakfast at the diner with the Veterans. 


 I'm happy with how the counted cross stitch is moving along.

Up To Here! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


Lookie, Lookie, Lookie!

I finally have enough blocks to start putting things together.

I say "Finally!"  You say "You are so fast!"  It doesn't feel like that.

But I tend to hyper-focus on things I want to see progressing.  That means that I don't have several projects going in many different stages so I have to decide what I'm going to work on on any given day.

It's one thing at the machine.  Until it's done.
