What We Are Working On
from Eagle's Wings Quilts
I didn’t do a “working on” post last week since most of us went on a road trip. One of our local quilt shops is closing since its owner is retiring. The good news about that is she has sold her business and it will be opening again in another location. It is always sad when a quilt shop closes, so that is great for everyone. She had all her stock reduced to $10.00 a metre, a great price so we stocked up on some lovely backings and also some neutrals which we were getting quite low on ...

from The Colorful Fabricholic
And a Fix.
If I square up the edges according to the current placement, as indicated by the horizontal line on the wall at the top and the plumb line at the right, I'll lose most of the dark fabrics in the corners and the quilt will be much smaller than anticipated.
The solution is to add to the light sections and build it out ...

Not Really a Cross Stitch Update but a Story!!
from Jo's Country Junction
I’m late with today’s Cross Stitch update. We had a long day yesterday with the kids and I didn’t have time to sit down at the computer. More than a cross stitch update, I have a story for you… Wednesday overnight, both of my daughters, Kelli and Kalissa, worked overnight shifts as nurses. They both …

from With Strings Attached
Wednesday's guild meeting was the annual ice cream social and the 2026 mystery quilt reveal. A guild member designed Big Bang.
Mine is the one with the gray background, middle row/far right.
I've been taken by all the red/white quilts that Lynn/Klein Meisje has made recently. Since I'm in between projects I pulled out all the scrap triangles from the box where I toss them and made HSTs (1.5"-3.5"). While I was at it I sewed some blue/yellow HSTs as well.
The guild charity challenge qilts are due at the ...

Mid-summer. That means getting out as early in the day as we can, even though early is purely relative to everything that has to be done before I actually get to the retreat around 10am.
"I'd love to go on a walk" someone says as I walk through the door of the quilting quarters after feeding Hazel and Flash.
I'd already put in about 2 hours of computer work before leaving home...if we wanted to make the most of the morning my reply was "Meet me at the van in 10 minutes!"
Boo To You Mystery Quilt and Stitch Along Coming Soon…

from ... Cat Patches
Good morning, my friends. As usual, it was a full day yesterday. The bird feeders were empty and there were flowers to water. There were a few more blueberries to pick, but first, I took a walk around to see how things were growing.
The lavender is just about bloomed out, but it is still crawling with bumblebees.
This calla lily might take over as the most watched thing in the garden. It’s putting up yet another shoot. It sure seems as if it has plans to bloom this year.

Welcome back for week 20 of the Sewcialites 3 Quilt Along as we celebrate our amazing quilting community! Each week, one of the 25 oh-sew-talented designers we’ve teamed up with is bringing you a new block pattern. This week, we’re excited to introduce the charming Gazebo by Doug Leko!
Gazebo by Doug Leko

A little surface design happening over in class.

Is this one slightly creepy?
from Gene Black an Alabama Artist
As I continue to work on my altered books, I find pages that you haven't seen yet. This first one may be slightly creepy. I probably added to the creep factor by the words I added. (it as unintentional - I promise
New Beginnings
This is a photo transfer from a magazine - she is actually pretty.
The transfer is done with a gel printing process. I put this over another
gel print that I had drawn lines on. I think the lines make it creepy.
Here is a happy alien,
This is a copy of a drawing that I colored ...

Check your fluids!!!!
from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!
Progress was made, but not nearly as much as I wanted. I've just come to the conclusion that what I get done is what I get done! I am not going to sweat it, and there is a lot of "new" stuff that I'm working on. By "new," I mean techniques I haven't done in a long time, a new design I'm stitching out, and so on.
But first, let's discuss this quote that Jackie posted in the comments.
Drop the weight on your shoulders and put it under your feet to rise to the ...

from From My Carolina Home
Somehow it seems like the more time I have, the less I get done. That has been the story this week, as I have piddled around for most of the week. I didn’t get back to Fleur Lumineuse, and it really should have been almost done by now! But, no. I saw one squirrel after another, leading me to spend hours looking at my collection of Christmas books.
I have 45 Christmas with Southern Living and Christmas with Victoria Magazine books. These really do need to be culled and most sent on to the library’s book sale shop ...

It has been awhile since I did one of these posts and I don't have much going on this week.
Finished (or not) Friday
from My Sewing Room
I'm ready for Saturday Sampler tomorrow . . . with all of the large applique all stitched down with a grey thread and blanket stitch.
There are several whole Dresden Plate blocks, plus a half and a couple of quarter plate blocks. This was much more time consuming this month compared to previous months. But it's good to have them done in time for Saturday Sampler.
And there are several large snowflakes also stitched down. I'm glad I went with the blanket stitch on these even though all the turns and twists made it slow going.

Many Hands Many Hearts
from Wedding Dress Blue
Consider joining me, and many others, in making blocks for Many Hands Many Hearts.
These are a truncated version of the potato chip block. Fun use of scraps. Go together quickly.
Mine will be in the mail very soon–24 blocks.
6 blocks times 2....................
from Exuberant Color
Eight more fabrics got pressed yesterday and four new blocks were sewn. Since there are two alike of every combination, I'll just show one of each from now on. I will be able to design one half of the quilt and then repeat the same fabrics for each row for the second half, usually in a different order than the first rows. The basement is warming up since we haven't had a cool spell so ironing the fabrics has to be done in short sessions, in this case 8 fabrics at a time.
As I go around the ... read more
I just couldn’t resist
from Just Sew Sue
I saw Sherie of A Quilting Life speaking about the July block for her block of the month and I decided to make it up for my Stash bee quilt. I decided to use all of my chosen colours - red, orange and yellow. There are some oldies in the mix including the grid fabric which I bought in Boston in 2019, the red is by Aneela Hoey and the orange is by Elizabeth Hartman.
I now have three blocks made despite it not yet being my month to be the bee mama.
