What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 I don’t have all of clue 4 but it’s beginning to look like this. I ran out of the white print so using white solids  need to make 7 more white stars I think..I can’t count!

After I went to Maker’s Market, I’ve been in the mood to spruce up my Spring decorations. When I went to a retreat last year, someone was there with cross-stitch goodies. There were patterns and finished stitched pieces. Apparently, her friend had passed away, and the husband asked her to distribute things to other stitchers …

I couldn’t be more excited about something coming up this month – a challenge!

I’ve done challenges in the past, orphan project, practically perfect… and inside the memberships I’ve hosted the mini quilt mania, pick a quilt week and more. We have a lot of fun ‘challenging’ ourselves with different themes and teaming up with other quilters during the challenge.

Back to the Escape from Stash Mountain Challenge.

This is about your stash mountains. You know what they are. The piles of patterns, paper, fabric, notions that stack up and get shifted and moved every time you begin ...

Welcome to Needle and Thursday, friends!  I have some bittersweet news to share with you today.  After next week (at the end of March), I will be retiring Needle and Thread Thursday.  I've been thinking about this for a while, and I know it is the right decision for me.  I started NTT almost 13 years ago- way back in June of 2013, which makes it one of the oldest continuous quilt link parties (it even may be the oldest?).  It has never taken more than a holiday or vacation break, and it has never had another blog home ...

Anyway, I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday. That was tough.  All I could think about was mom.  We used to go there together and spend hours just looking at everything!!

Anyway, I bought black satin for the borders so I'll get to sewing that on over the ...

Good morning, my friends. As expected, I spent most of my day in the kitchen yesterday. It's kind of fun to create a meal to celebrate a holiday, and so I don't mind a kitchen day every now and then. 

My morning started with the baking of this Irish Brown Bread. It's made with whole-wheat flour, buttermilk, and two kinds of oatmeal. The only sweetener is 2 tablespoons of honey (or golden syrup), and so it's a good loaf for anyone watching their calories and fat. Straight from the oven, it looked like this:

Learn how to sew your own beach bags and tote bags with these fun and practical sewing projects. Whether you’re heading to the beach, running errands, or just need a go-to bag for everyday use, a handmade tote is one of those projects you’ll use again and again.

I always find that once I make one bag, I start thinking about the next one—maybe a bigger one, one with more pockets, or one that uses up a stack of fabric I’ve been holding onto. Bags are a great way to play with different fabrics, try new ...

 About a year ago I joined a bi-monthly fabric club that gave a selection of Kona solids. I can’t remember exactly how many were in each bundle, at least 12 perhaps even 15. Anyhow, I decided then that I wanted to do a Judy Martin pattern out of her book Stellar Quilts called Card Shuffle. It’s a variation of the Card Trick block using star points in the blocks. I started this quilt a year ago, after receiving the first fat quarter bundle. I picked up the last bundle a week or so ago. I’d had to ...

 A Place to Die For by A. M. Strong and Sonya Sargent

Jordan and Sam had the rug pulled out from under them just as they expected to sign the papers and buy their own home. Then, seemily out of nowhere, they're invited to buy a condo at an exclusive luxury building. The other residents are welcoming and their unit comes already filled with luxurious furniture that they'd never have the budget for. Never mind that dark stain under the carpet in the foyer, which must be paint. Those distressing sounds she hears echo through the hallways must ...

I chose the purple batik for the sashing almost without thinking.  I used nearly all of it (just 4-1/2" x 18" left over).  I auditioned a couple of batiks for the setting, my limitation being what I have in yardage (rather than FQs and scraps). The peach won out.  I made the float extra-large. I'm going to keep it that way and skip an outer border. 

5-3/4 yards used for the flimsy.    I still have 1-1/2" scrappy HSTs and a lot of 1-1/2" squares.

 I'm so ready for spring! This up and down is getting old. I know it's March, so not spring yet. 

Hello my friends, it’s check-in #8 today for Blooming Scrappy QAL! If you are just now hearing about the QAL, here is the HQ for the scrappy where I will post links to all the check-ins on the HQ page. We are inching closer to a finish. In fact, I have seen quite a few beautiful finishes!!

Today is our catch-up day! You can either use this day to catch up on blocks from previous weeks, make the option outer border pieced blocks, or just start sewing the blocks together to complete your quilt top.

I have actually finished ...

You last saw this piece in a short video where I was embellishing seams with bullion knots.

Today there is a short video showing the contrast between the hand painted fabric when it hasn't been embroidered and how it transforms after hand embroidery is added.

I now have a huge pile of holiday laundry to tackle.

You will find me next to the ironing board.
