Yikes, it's November from Elsie Quilts

I've a good excuse for not posting. . . all my spare time is with fabric and my sewing machine. What fun. Well at first, not -- I found a box of blocks that I'd made from scraps with the intention of sewing them into a quilt or two. However, that was a total underestimation. I actually cried when I realized this pile of blocks was likely enough for at least a dozen or more.

So I began. Right now, I've three finished, one ready to bind, and six tops waiting to be sandwiched. And the box is only half ...

Quilt Book Review: Scrap Quilts from Crumbs Strings and Strips from Jo's Country Junction

I’d kind of given up on quilt books. I have more than plenty filled with projects that I’ve made. I still look at them often, but do I make quilts from them…no. I end up making all of the UFOs and projects that people send me. Why do I need any more books? Then I …

Retreat, Lotsa Sewing, BOM from Elaine Adair Pieces


I worked on this scrap buster at our recent Retreat.  My goal was to use what I had, and also I wanted to do QAYG better. There is not one stitching seam visible on the front.  It's there but almost invisible.   Also, no lumps at the corners.   Below is the back.

Most of the project was completed at the Retreat.  One of the guild liked it and asked me to teach the technique NEXT YEAR (!!!).  Gotta hand it to her planning!  

Velma was making these cute shirts at our Retreat.  Her family heritage is from Guam.   She said each ...

A bit of Creation and Quilting from Gene Black an Alabama Artist

One day recently, perhaps it was Saturday, I pulled out some pieces of fabric from my "chunks and pieces" collection.  I was not using yardage for this.  I intended to use  what I made from this technique to make a quilted notebook cover.  That is one of my go-to projects when I just want to play with fabric.  

Cutting the fabric into strip - just a rough size, no need to measure exactly for this - I was thinking about color relationships.  I started with the aqua, lime green, yellow and purple. Then I decided to add some darker green,  a midtone ...

De Gentleman Beertjes

8 & 9 januari – Een tweedaagse beren avontuur workshop bij Supergoof

Op 8 en 9 januari gaat de deur van Supergoof open voor een bijzonder tweedaags berenavontuur!

Twee dagen lang duiken we in de wereld van de Gentleman Beer. Een stijlvolle kleine reiziger van ongeveer 30 cm, met een eigen karakter, een snufje nostalgie en natuurlijk de nodige gentleman-allure.

We beginnen bij het begin: het tot leven brengen van jouw eigen beertje. Je kiest uit drie prachtige mohairstoffen uit de Steiff-fabriek, elk met een heel eigen uitstraling.

Met naald, draad, een beetje geduld en vooral veel plezier gaan ...

Good morning!

I'm trying to clear the decks ahead of the upcoming Bonnie Hunter mystery. Here are a couple of things I just finished.

This scrappy pineapple quilt was my first experience with the Creative Grids Pineapple Trim Tool--I love it! Once you get the process in your head, it is basically fool-proof, and it results in nice, neat, SQUARE blocks.

Marathon Sewing from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We had an epic grocery list yesterday because we hadn't been to the grocery store in nearly two weeks. On our way home, we passed by this pretty tree decked out in its fall colors. I've seen a few of these around with three colors of leaves on a single three.

Thankfully, the shopping was all done and the groceries put away before noon, which left me lots of time in the day for sewing. My first stop was to clip the Cats in Pajamas and get started hand-sewing the binding. Before I stopped ...

Welcoming November! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


We were graced by the most beautiful autumn weather this past weekend.

A bit crisp in the mornings, warming up with sunshine in the afternoon - afternoon porch time still wonderful - 

I even ended up with quilt retreat fairies changing the clocks back an hour for me on Sunday morning!

There are several clocks - and even the microwave clock was attended to.

(It's more than I can say for my own house! LOL!)

Midweek: dark skies, the blue wave, and flimsies from With Strings Attached

 

I did not take any photos at yesterday's Zion Woman's Club meeting -- and my sister was the speaker!  She's actively involved with the Dark Sky Association (darksky dot org) which works to preserve the natural nighttime environment. Light pollution takes its toll on everything -- insects, amphibians and reptiles, birds, and mammals, including us!  


I didn't stay up to watch the election results but I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn't resist checking.  Illinois' results were never in doubt but other races provided some cliff-hangers and surprise/no-surprise.  Once the euphoria is over the ...

I have been finding a little time to sew. from Dreamworthy Quilts

 Hello blogger friends. My life is pretty much on overload, but I have been sneaking in some sew time.  Here is what I've been up to.


My row quilt is together and at the quilters. I really love it! I took it to a retreat last month and got the border on.


Aurora blocks are together and the border stars are complete. I now need to get the borders on.


Paisley Punch is together and has a nice printed border. It looks rough in this bad lighting photo. I pressed it but didn't get it laid out good ...

A Pandora's Box of quilting things from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I have to laugh at how DH and I are the same and yet we are different! Obviously, we have quite different jobs, and our personalities are almost polar opposites. BUT, the underlying gel that holds us together is so similar. 

I am a storyteller - I think you all know that, and I was really hoping to be finished with these couple of magazines I went through the other day, but alas, you are going to get one more day of the stories from those couple of magazines tomorrow. Then I hope to be done!

Anyway, I try to spin ...

October PHD Report from Life In Pieces

October ended with a rainy day, very autumn like weather.  Something we didn't get much of till after mid-month.  It really seemed like we had an endless summer, so I find myself very surprised to be in November and realizing there are just 2 months left in the year.  


With the start of a new month, it's time to review what actually got done the previous month.  So it's time for the October PHD Report sponsored by Ms. P Designs.  My October report has a finish on it. 





My 4th finish, Squared Away (SoScrappy) was started in ...

Slow and steady from contemporary embroidery

 





Hi everyone, how you doing?

No embroidery today.

Shelf sorting.

Making room for my Paris haul.

In truth I have been unwell for a couple of weeks.

My embroidery is suffering due to brain fog from medication. 

Hexagons are the answer to brain fog...slow and doable with an empty head. 

I'm mostly pottering and can just about manage to sort these shelves.

What a task.

Don't we accumulate? 

Two walks around the Zoo with two of my favourite little boys cleared the head slightly. 

I'm going to the Zoo so often they will invite me to ...

Christmas Tablerunner COMPLETE from Wedding Dress Blue

This is the fifth tablerunner in my current binge series of tablerunners: Onyx at Christmas Tablerunner by Jessica Dayon.

It is also for Sparkle Jane and her family in their new house.

Just so you know…I have two more runners planned or in progress. When will it end? Perhaps not for a while.

ps–I love diagonal striped binding!

Charity Quilting from Becca's Crazy Projects

It's fun to grab some coordinating pinks that mostly read as solids to match up with a fun print. Pieced by me. 
Sunshine! Pieced by me using some leftover backing fabric and about 1/2 yard of pink. Both trimmed and ready for 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 do include ...
