Strings, BOM, and a Finished Disappearing 9 Patch Quilt from Elaine Adair Pieces


Isn't it rewarding to make something like this from bits and pieces destined for trash?  Admittedly,  I was inspired by another gal on Internet - no one that I've ever met, but THANK YOU!   I used strong brights -- not many wishy washy values were used and I included a black on the base of each triangle.  Here are some of the choices and my all-over free-motion quilting.  The white is not a bright white.  


Below is the result of Guild BOM preps, where our Committee decided to do Disappearing Nine Patch blocks.  That was a great idea, and when ...

Three Near Finishes from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It ended up being a very busy morning yesterday. My morning to-do's took me well past lunch time, and so it was late in the day before I could get to any sewing. No matter. The goals I'd set for the day were accomplished despite the lack of time.

Of course before I could do anything else, I did some slow-stitching, finishing the final embroidered block for Le Jardin.


When I was able to get into the sewing room, I added borders.


Here are all the blocks I have for this quilt. It’ll ...

Oh Scrap! : Flannel from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

 It has been a really long time since I had a chance to play around with some scraps.  I did cut up a bunch of flannel scraps recently.  I am still cutting everything into 4.5" x 2.5" rectangles.



I have been focusing on the pink and blue scraps.  I almost have enough for another pink quilt already.  All of the other flannel scraps I have processed are waiting to be paired up with a low volume or to be sewn together in another configuration.  With the cooler weather on its way, we are switching over to flannel backings ...

Sunday Stash August 23, 2026 from Quilt Paint Create

No fabric out this week.

We went to a crafter’s garage sale yesterday that a local quilt shop hosts every August.  I bought mostly stitching items, but some fabric came home with me.  If anyone is interested in the stitching haul, let me know in the comments and I will post it.

The large blue piece is fleece to make new yoga pants.  I can’t find pants I like in the stores.

The other pieces are from a quilt kit.  Imagine my surprise when I unpackaged it at home and discovered there was no picture of the finished ...

A trip to Micheals from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

 AHA—I never thought about using the Snipping Tool—I have it installed. I'll try that next time I want to crop a photo. It's not the right way to do it, but it's one way to make it happen.  

I have a very early morning flight, so I'm writing the blog the night before. However, I will say that with 45 minutes left on my audiobook, I'm torn - write the blog or finish the book. My brain won't let me do both at the same time!

So the blog it is! 

Oh my ...

Some Customer Quilts from The Quilt Quine

Stitching Stuff: Week 34 of 2026 from Life In Pieces

 



If the weather man has it right, this next week we'll see a cool down into the 90s for most of the week.  It's been so hot here this August many of the trees are dying. The leaves are brown and falling off like it is autumn. So I'll take the 10 degree drop in temps and a bit of rain that's in the forecast.  We definitely need both.  

Taking refuge in the sewing room seems to be my thing this summer. It's certainly paying off.

Heels - Done from Romany Quilting

 I always feel there is something quite magical about knitting heels on socks.  On my warm and cozy 12ply socks, these  heels are knitted in three stages.  First the reinforced heel flap, then turning the heel, and finally the gusset, picking up stitches each side to do the heel shaping.  Somebody really clever obviously worked out how to do do all this, and I'm in awe.    I have to sit quietly with my pattern, knit one row at a time reading the instructions, and carefully marking off each row in my notebook.  

Heels, done

I like to knit my ...

Turning on the iron.............. from Exuberant Color


I knew it would take a while to press 81 blocks plus iron a few other things piled on the ironing table, so I started a load of laundry and spent a couple hours in the basement.  I have the blocks sorted into 2 piles since there are 2 alike of each combination except the one at the bottom.  I will be designing half of the quilt with one pile when I get around to it.


I got this quilt back from my longarm quilter so I trimmed it and then cut the binding strips, the same fabric as the ...

Bazaar Sewing from Quarter-Inch Capers

Notice I didn’t say bizarre sewing, although that may fit also! I am making small things to sell at our quilt guild open house and at our church fall festival. I am trying to get some baby quilts done, but my quilting customers already bought two of them. I think I have time to get a couple more done. I sure hope so.

For now, I have been trying to work on small things that aren’t very expensive to buy. We generally sell out of that type of thing. I made these two potholders from a remnant I ...

Altered Book Pages from Gene Black an Alabama Artist

I have been missing on here for a while. These days I have a lot less time and energy for creating because I am caring for my Mom.  She is in the later stages of dementia.  That's life and we carry on. 


However,  this week I took a little time to create a two page spread in one of my altered books and decided to share these pages with you.  The first page was created starting with a "roll-off" sheet.  Let me explain.  
When you are printing with a gel plate, you use a brayer to roll out the ...

Presentation Day & Cross-Stitching from Quilting My Way

This morning, we had our presentation. Actually, it was at 1 pm but I had to get there early to get stuff done. We ended up with a couple veterans an hour early. Patrick was there even earlier than that. So, it all worked out. I just had to play catch up. 

We honored 7 veterans. Two where Father and Son. Those 2 are on the right. Kreft family. Not in order but they were: Andrew Short, Bryan Barbee, Ray Kreft, Joshua Kreft, James Nelson, Brain Cox, and Aaron Allen. 

We will try to get the other 2 later. It ...

RSC Week 34 - Yellow / Christmas TRs from Grandma's Red Needle

The RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) color chosen for August, is yellow.
After finishing BIG BLUE (Got the Blues, #8 on my UFO list), I felt for working on something smaller. What's better than piecing together some 2" squares to 9-patches


I got 8 9-patches
A mix of my own cut squares and swaps. It didn't make a dent in the box containing 2" squares, but at least 72 squares are out of that box! 

I did some Christmas sewing for my DF in Norway

Small table topper


Skinny table runner

These are made from upcycled Christmas curtains ...

I’ve told you all before that I really enjoy recipes from Brooke Ervin on Facebook. You can find this recipe HERE. A few weeks prior to this, I had seen a Brooke Ervin recipe for Sweet and Sour Chicken. We had some chicken that needed to be used in the freezer, so I thought I …
