What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I had an unusual week…I spent much of it in a hotel while getting radiation treatments for my cancer. I didn’t have a sewing machine with so most of my time I thought would be spent cross-stitching. I had visions of getting lots done…let me show you what I did get done. Promise not to …

Good morning, my friends. It was a good and tiring day yesterday. As I mentioned, my friend Sue and I walked across a newly-opened pedestrian bridge in the neighboring community of Sherwood yesterday. We started on the far side of the bridge and walked across to where the new high school is located.

And then we walked back to where we started and headed on down the road to find the historic part of Sherwood.

We ...

I received some shocking news yesterday while I was at the gym, and big changes are coming for me! OK -- I'm exaggerating, but for me, it will be a big change. I will not be like my parents -- I will embrace the change, although it's very upsetting. What happened? 

I learned that Joseph, the most amazing spin class instructor, was LET GO!!! No one seems to know why, and I don't have his contact information, but I'm going to try to find it so I can reach out to him. I'm also going to write ...

New panels have been added to this cloth, this wrapping cloth.

You haven't seen it for quite a while because I have been concentrating on paper lately but I often have the urge to go back to cloth and when that happens this is the piece I pick up. 

There are two new panels, one a hand painted and embroidered piece, the other plain white Broderie Anglaise which will be embellished with patchwork flowers. 

I think this is almost finished in terms of the embroidered, front surface.

Now I have to decide what to do with regards to the ...

I have been trying to get a blog post written for almost a week, but I haven’t felt well enough, and to be honest, I haven’t done much that would be worth blogging about. I have been having persistent headaches for a couple of months now, almost daily. I also have been having pain in my right ear. I went to my doctor who prescribed an antibiotic and referred me to an ENT. It took two months to get into see the ENT, but I finally got there on Tuesday. It turns out I now have two ear ...

This morning, we headed out to the casino. We have Wednesdays this month for the casino - except for next week. We have sew days here. 

We played at the casino a good 4-5 hours. We didn't lose much at all.  We played on their money. I think the little we lost was from the money we won a few weeks ago. So, we are still ahead. Patrick got a bonus of $1,163 that was under the line of having to get an IRS form done. lol 

We then went to Safeway for things we need. We even had ...

This morning, I worked on cleaning up the house before heading to the museum. I had some laundry done, cat litter taken care of, and even some computer work done. 

Then I headed out to the museum and picked up some coffee for Debbie, tea for me, before getting there. 

I had a few things going on when I arrived. Sam wasn't there, because she's in Texas. Chip was busy with something that happened to the museum, so didn't get a chance to chat with him. Everything was set up for the presentation. Donna filled in for ...

Every so often, questions and comments come from readers, and I think others would like to hear my response.  That’s when I feature them on the blog.  This is one of those days. The question today comes from the comment section…and emails. I have been asked numerous times about the tape measure on my long arm. I’ve …

Happy Friday, quilters! I've got even more quilts from Lori this week. This time she included a note in the box with her email address so we could get to know each other a bit!

Lori is a fellow Texan who, like many of you I imagine, finds herself making more quilts than her friends and family have room for.

She's happy to have found an organization that can make use of her surplus quilts, and we're very happy she found us!

I have broken her two boxes of quilts up into three posts, loosely organized by ...
