What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate this weekend here in Canada. It has been a gorgeous weekend here. Yesterday was sunny and warm, for this time in October. And the colours in the trees here in Muskoka have been glorious! I wasn’t actually planning on writing a post this weekend. It has been crazy busy here. We had our Church family dinner at the church yesterday, following the Worship service. It was wonderful to gather with our church family and enjoy a traditional turnkey dinner. And today we are having our family get together. But I’ve got a ...

 I have been feeling a bit better. Still tire easily but I have been able to do more. So my dear husband took me for a short trip. Hoping to see some fall colors, we made our way to the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.

A couple of months ago I needed a project box for something, and I pulled out one that I thought was empty. Surprise! It had a partially assembled top in it. I had taken it to a retreat as my extra project in case I finished whatever else I was working on and still had time. The center of the top was complete, it just needed borders, which were cut and in the box. I guess I put the box back in the cabinet and forgot about it. The top was a quick finish.

Good morning, my friends. We had a very enjoyable day yesterday. On the day’s agenda were these items: visit Grand Coulee Dam, get some groceries, visit the Gehrke Windmill Garden. Check, check, and check. We left Sadie basking in the morning sunshine. And speaking of sunshine, we had a nice day of weather. A little breezy and on the chilly side, but no rain, and no dust.

This last week went really fast. It just that time of year.  We'll be mid way through October this week!  That just doesn't seem possible.  But it did get me thinking about what my sewing room plans are for next year. It may seem early, but we always started developing next year's goals about this time of year when I was working.  Some habits don't fade completely when you retire.  

 I have started walking daily again with a friend. I am trying to lose some of the weight I gained over the winter, and she saw a beautiful dress available only in a size smaller than she normally wears; she bought it and is determined to fit into it this summer.

 This quilter, from out of town, asked to book a time in July but waited for an opportunity to come to our city, which came up last week. She delivered this quilt with flamingo prints as the focal point of each block.

The quilt is for a granddaughter.

Yep that's right, I bought fabric.   I can't help myself when it comes to pretty floral.  I loved it so much I bought it all,  a little over 6 yards of the blue floral.  It was purchased at Hobby Lobby during the 30% off sale.  I'm thinking it will make some pretty pillow shams, curtains or if I get in a pinch for quilt backing it'll work for that too.  Of course I had to buy another fabric to match and the blue dots was the best option.

Today, we will do some wool embroidery. The Sulky Fall Botanicals embroidery set is perfect for small projects. Each design is shown in pretty fall colors, but you can change those up as you please. We’ll use the machine embroidery today, but this set also comes in a hand embroidery pack with pattern transfers if you like hand work.

Using your embroidery machine on wool is easy. I set up the embroidery hoop with a light oatmeal color wool and a single sheet of tear away stabilizer. I also moved the placement to the bottom of the hoop area ...

A friend handed me two layer cakes and asked me to make two quilts.

Sure! Any excuse is a good excuse, right?!

The first step was to decide how to honor the pink but at the same time make quilts that were large enough. And maybe not JUST pink.

So, I added green. One quilt got light green (this picture doesn’t capture the color well).

VERY mini-tutorial: Cut the 10″ squares in half to create bars 5″x10″. Add 5″ squares. This idea would work with any layer cake. Uses 33 10″ squares. Finished at 59″x71″.

And one ...

I’m so honored to have been asked to join the ByAnnie 2026 #SewPINK Initiative. The #SewPink Initiative's mission is to raise awareness for cancer throughout the year. Efforts culminate in an annual blog hop during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month to promote self-care, awareness, early detection and support for those affected by breast cancer.

Those of you who know me know that I’m on my own breast ...

I’m afraid there isn’t much sewing or quilting going on around here. We have our church fall festival coming up on October 18th, and most of my energy is going into that right now. I am chairing the silent auction this year, and it’s turning out to be a whole lot of work! It’s okay, other than so many people being last minute. The last-minute stuff is stressing me out. 

These are some ...
