Slow Sunday Stitching from Eagle's Wings Quilts

Today’s slow stitching report its on Monday, rather than Sunday. I got hit by a nasty head cold that turned into a nasty cough. I’m finally feeling more like myself, 10 days later. Yuck-er-oonies..... All that to say I haven’t been doing much cross stitching due to lack of concentration. The Woodpecker from the Year in the Woods is slowly taking shape though. And the slowly is good, because that’s the point of the whole thing, to enjoy the slow progress and watch it slowly take shape. I’ll link up with Kathy’s Slow Sunday ...

Tricky Pieced Inset Blocks from Podunk Pretties

I put the pedal to the metal this week and finished all of the remaining alternate blocks for my Cake Stand quilt.

To make it go even faster, I broke one of my self-imposed rules: all seams must be pinned. That’s right ... I only used one pin at the end! All of the fabrics in these blocks are low volume prints, so if the seams don’t line up, it won’t be that noticeable.

There are one or two seams in each block that are slightly off, and I think they’re hard to see… well, at least ...

Take a stand bag from Just Sew Sue

Lizzie booked a last minute short trip back to Jersey and arrived last Thursday. I should have been having some procedures done at our local hospital on Thursday, but they cancelled with ninety minutes notice, as someone hadn't signed a form!! I now have that to look forward to this Thursday and I checked - the form has been signed.

We cut out most of our pieces on Wednesday and it was more straight forward than the Running with Scissors case which goes with this bag. Fewer thick layers to negotiate.

I need to order some more fold over elastic ...

O Tannenbaum Two from The Colorful Fabricholic

Back in 2017 I made my son a Christmas Tree quilt to hang on a door and hold real ornaments. You can see it here with ornaments, and here is the tutorial.

He started a new job last summer, and learned at Christmastime that everyone in this office decorates their cubicles for the holidays. He requested another Christmas tree, sized to fit his cubicle. So of course I'm making him one.

This one is 52" tall (for a 60" wall height) and 28" wide. I still need to add the loops for hanging the ornaments. 74 of them, one ...

So Much Sunday from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It was another busy day yesterday. It seems I'm still catching up from a couple of doctors' appointments over the past couple of weeks. Possibly things will settle down for a short time. We're gearing up for a trip next month, though. That always means there's lots to do. I'll say more about the trip as it draws closer. Just know we'll be making a loop around Washington State.

Mike and I have lived in Oregon since 1978. Washington is just about an hour north of us, but we've never ...

Stonefield's Hexagons and How I Sew Them from Loose Threads

Here are the hexagons that I have finished for the outer border of my Stonefield's quilt. These are made from fabrics that are brighter than I usually sew with, but I think they will look nice on the outside border of the quilt. Stonefield's is a pattern by Susan Smith, and I think the blocks kind of lend themselves to brighter, fun fabrics.

I've had people ask how I can sew hexagons together so quickly. I've tried different methods of sewing my hexagon flowers together. This one seems to work best for me, and I feel ...

Design Wall Monday - August 24 from My Sewing Room

A new week, and the last full week of summer. Yikes!! Some region schools have started already, and others will start this week. The big deal in town this week is the Corn Palace Festival, an annual event with carnival rides, carnival games, and food trucks, all lined up on the streets around the Corn Palace. The Corn Palace will host a couple of concerts later in the week.

My plans for the week include the monthly lunch with the retired group from school, a couple of PT appointments, an ophthalmologist appointment, and some sewing of course. The main sewing ...

Something Old, Something New from Life In Pieces

We spent half the weekend in Tulsa. Saturday was a charity event for the Sutton Avian Research Center. That's the organization that runs the Bald Eagle survey teams in our area. My Guy has been part of that team for at least 5 years. We stayed in Tulsa for the night and spent Sunday morning hanging out at a coffee shop and then getting lunch before we headed home. Something different than our normal weekend.

I did get some good sewing time in before we left and then after we got back. The pieced borders for Good Fortune (Bonnie ...

Star Crossed Potholder Set from Wedding Dress Blue

This is my entry in Donna’s Annual Lovely Ugly Challenge 2026.

The potholders are 8″ square. The 4″ star blocks were fun to make. (There are a number of tutorials out there.) I could make an entire quilt of them, I think. But, not right now.

The other day I wrote about leaving my wallet at the store and thinking I didn't have access to any money, so I wouldn't be able to buy any food except what was in the hotel snack bar that I could charge to my room. I considered setting up a digital wallet on my phone so I could have access to my credit card and perhaps even my debit card. I really don't understand the wallet, so I have never investigated it.

Then I realized I have a digital wallet with my Tim's app. When I ...

Quilts for Kids: August from Becca's Crazy Projects

On Saturday I dropped off 20 quilts for binding and 10 pieced quilts.

I picked up quilts for quilting and some fabric to piece more tops.

21 quilts with backing for quilting.

And a mostly random selection of fabrics to piece additional tops. I'll stay busy until the next Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

If you want to contribute but don't have the time or skills, you can support the national Quilts for Kids by going directly to their website and clicking DONATE. I don't earn anything from this link.

If you want to support me indirectly, I ...

Relaxing Sunday............... from Exuberant Color

My plan was to get at least one side hand stitched on the binding of the Wm. Morris Trip Around the World quilt. I got one short side stitched and then went on to stitch 22" on a long side. Then I took a break and went out to trim dead leaves off the tomato and cucumber plants and fill the bird feeders.

The only other thing planned was baking cookies. I was going to make chocolate chip but changed my mind and baked shortbread instead. I could swear my eyesight was clearer after eating 2 cookies.

Good Morning Quilters!

We had a busy week with a family funeral and daughter flying in to be with us. Our brother-in-law was 88, almost 89, and our family is grieving and remembering what a great man he was.

While our daughter is visiting, we are sewing together. She shopped my stash and found a pretty fabric for a lining to a purse she crocheted.

Here are pictures of the project, two pictures of the purse, and one of the lining fabric:

I will not be able to show a picture of the finished project because she is flying home ...

Safari Baby Quilt from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

A friend of ours and his wife had their first baby a few months ago. He is an avid hunter and was our Safari Club chapter president for a few years. He's also the service manager at the Ford dealership and I laughed when we took our truck in last month for a recall issue and DH and he poured over maps of an area where DH drew a tag for an Orex in January before they even checked in the

Picking Apples and Baking from Quilting My Way

This morning, we did the usual of cleaning up. Then we went outside and picked a bucket of apples. We have 8 boxes of apples out there that were on the ground. So, we didn't start picking them fast enough.

Came in and made apple sauce with the first set of apples. Patrick didn't want to do much, which was disappointing since I was wanting to do the whole bucket. I did take 3 apples and make a German Apple Cake for tomorrow. It's in the refrigerator.

I also got to work on the excel paperwork that ...
