First quilt top finished in November 2026............ from Exuberant Color

I got the last seams sewn in the morning yesterday on this pinwheel quilt made with Marcia Derse fabrics. There are 4 sizes of pinwheels, with the least amount of 3", down in the lower right corner.

It is 50.5" x 70.5".

Everything matched perfectly in size except the little 3" pinwheel section. I just trimmed off the extra half inch.

I'm going to use most of the rest of the 8" pinwheels in a table runner for my son's TV stand. I may play around with the blocks to see what combination I like best ...

Lizzie’s Christmas present from Just Sew Sue

I started binding the place mats and table runner on Sunday. I had not had much sleep the previous night so expected to be only able to finish two table mats. I was pleasantly surprised to finish all six place mats and the table runner. They are now rolled up together and, in my wardrobe, ready for gifting at Christmas.

Next, I need to see if I can quilt a quilt for Lizzie before tomorrow. I haven't been given any backing so I need to see what I have in stash.

Sewing Day at Grandma’s from Jo's Country Junction

We had such a fun couple of days with Kelli and the grandkids. Eli was so happy. He got his finished quilt. He was so happy. He had to check it out on my wood floor to see if it was cozy. HA!! He really liked it…but that caused a little trouble. Emmett wanted to …

Casino Day Today from Quilting My Way

This morning, Patrick had his nurse show up and then took off to Olympia for more blood work. I needed to be at the casino by noon (or so I thought). Patrick didn't make it back in time, so we were about 10 minutes late. Trouble was that they couldn't find the gal I needed to give the quilts to. We waited a bit, then took the quilts out to the car. She called me about 10 minutes later. We meet in the main entrance and got everything ready. I told there were 2 quilts there.

Patrick and ...

4-Patch Quilt + a $2 Tutorial from A Little Bit Biased

Hi there! Today, I am sharing a very simple,

very traditional 4-patch quilt. If you've been looking for a

zero-stress project to stitch up, this one is for you.

Honestly, I can't believe I hadn't made one before!

A couple of months ago, I was going through an exceptionally busy period of life,

and I think I needed some mindless sewing to help me relax in those stolen moments

of "me" time. So I grabbed some precut squares (leftover from other projects)

and sewed my little heart out!

I auditioned several fabrics for the solid squares

but ...

New Christmas Mat from The Knitting Quilter

Today is voting day for us in the US. I'm keeping my eye on the news all day. I'm hoping all goes smoothly. I voted last week which was great! So nice to have the option to vote early.

Bind On from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. There wasn't as much time for sewing yesterday as I'd hoped, but the binding is sewn on the Cats in Pajamas, and that project is on the home stretch. We had almost not a single bite of food in the house for lunch, and so we ended up driving into town for a second McRib. Usually, we limit ourselves to one per seasonal offering, but what the heck, right?

Before we left, I took some time for slow-stitching.

There's enough done on the left side that I decided to move my hoop to ...

The roots of quilt techniques is deep! And not new! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

That's one way to stop fights when the Christmas catalogs came in—get one for everyone in the family! That was the BEST time of the year, but alas, I had to share between two brothers and Mom. My gosh -we bought Christmas candy, and well, I don't remember all that we coveted. I grew up in a very small community, and that catalog was my ticket to the world! There was no such thing as looking at store window displays. There was no toy store nearby - shopping by catalog was all we had! We did have an ...

To Do List for the Week of 10/2/2026 from Life In Pieces

Just a bit under 2 months left in 2026. It's the time of year that if you haven't reached your goals, you have to decide what part of them can you actually make progress with. The holidays will be busy with the seasonal stuff we do with and for our families. I'm trying to keep an attitude of what gets done, gets done, what doesn't can wait till next year.

That last week in October went way too fast, but I still did really well at working through what was on my to do list.

Sleep at Home Retreat from From My Carolina Home

Twice a year, our guild hosts a three day sleep-at-home retreat. We have an event venue where we can take our machines and things to work on, set up once on day one and leave it overnight while we go home for dinner and to sleep. Then we come back for two more days to sew and enjoy the company of friends. I didn’t have any piecing project that I wanted to do this time, but a friend suggested that I bring my little embroidery machine and do some holiday things. Sounded good, so I did that. I set ...

Rain, rain go away from My Sewing Room

I whined about being in a drought all year - until September, when it started to rain around here. That is continuing in November I guess.

We did have some really nice days in October, without all the normal wind that usually takes away the beautiful leaves quickly. But over the past week the rain has moved in again. I had dumped about 3" total from the rain gauge by Sunday morning. And then it rained all night Sunday, and more on Monday. I'm ready for some sunshine!!!

The second version of last week's Blockheads block is done. After ...

Almost there........................ from Exuberant Color

I sewed until 10 last night and got this far. I thought I was going to have to add a piece at the right side of the bottom row, but now it looks like I might need to trim it off instead. Either that or trim the end of the 6" block section. I'll make that decision today. The camera is making the light fabrics a little too light here. I hope I can get a photo with true color later today.

I noticed the first bloom on my cactus yesterday morning but it was overcast outside and I ...

Good Grief, November! So many beautiful colours surrounding us as the nights draw in. I mean in nature, of course. As a quilter, my life is full of colour, permanently!

Fancy Four Patch Quilt – alle HSTs fertig, aber welches Layout? from Quilt Collection M.

Inzwischen habe ich weiter an dem Fancy Four Patch Quilt gearbeitet. Es ging immer noch um die HSTs. Ich brauche für insgesamt 111 Blöcke je 10 HSTs. Das sind verflixt viele! Und es bedeutet Trimming, Trimming, Trimming. Puh!

Langsam aber sicher habe ich mich vorgearbeitet. Ich wollte diese kleinen futzeligen Teile bis zu dem MCQ-Quilt-Wochenende fertig haben. Diese elende Trimmerei wollte ich lieber zuhause an meinem hohen rückenfreundlichen Schneidetisch erledigen.

Und ich habe es geschafft: für die letzten Blöcke liegen die HSTs bereit. Jetzt muss ich damit nur noch ca 60 Nine Patches nähen.

Ich habe erneut mein Layout angeschaut ...
