Here & There from Quilting My Way

Today, was another trip to Olympia. Patrick had his doctor appointment, and I picked up my glasses. Before going, we stopped at Franz and picked up some treats for Patrick. He loves his sugar!

We were going to go to Red Lobster, but that one is closed. So, we came all the way back to Ground Mound and eat at Dick's Brewery & Deli. It was good, but I was full.

On the way home, we stopped at Safeway and got some ice cream and milk. The essentials!

Now we are home and the game is on. So, I will ...

What I’m Making: Peach Cinnamon Rolls from Jo's Country Junction

A while back, Rick had sent a reel to me. It was someone who had taken a cinnamon roll recipe and taken it a notch higher. They added peaches and struesel on top of the rolls. I didn’t have a recipe…I just guessed. I made my normal cinnamon roll recipe. When it was ready, I …

Checkerboard quilt from Happy Cottage Quilter

Wow, making this quilt was a challenge.

Trying to match all the points was not easy.

I don't think I will be making another one for a while.

Christmas Table Mat from The Knitting Quilter

I bought this pattern by Kris Poor quite a while ago. Now that I'm done that huge quilt, I wanted to make something smaller for a change. This took me a a few hours to make which isn't too bad. It measures 20" X 20" at widest points.

These two portions were paper pieced. It's not too hard to make quarter square triangles but the final measurements are not square so paper piecing makes sense.

The final measurements of this quarter square triangle is 4" X 4.25". I was afraid the directions wouldn't work but ...

The project that almost wouldn’t end from Chocolate Cake Quilt Designs

It’s been a long, slow slog through August with temps already above 80 as early as 6:00 a.m. There’s no beating the heat at that hour of the day, but the punishment for getting your walk in later is higher heat, so early it is.

I’ve been juggling three big projects unrelated to stitching and quilting, making progress on all of them but not anywhere close to finishing. One stitching project I thought was behind me, Hummingbird Garden, turned out to be a huge headache ever since it was handed off for framing on March ...

Fun on a Friday! from Humble Quilts

My son sent me this photo recently and asked "how do you know how old a quilt is"

I said you have to be experienced and know fabric. How much were they selling it for and what kind of shape was it in? (He loves to go to yard sales and I assumed that is where it was)

His reply- This is on the ground in my recycling room.

A little back and forth and I told him to grab it- likely 1940-1960

He kept it in a bucket for a few days. Then I told him what I would ...

A Scrappy Triangle Project from The Colorful Fabricholic

I saw something recently in my Pinterest feed that intrigued me. It was a very scrappy quilt made of HSTs, Broken Dishes blocks, and stacked coin columns, in a palette of mostly yellow-greens, teals, dark reds, neutrals and light peach prints. Very busy. Dozens of different fabrics, many bold patterns. It was attributed to Mel Hale but now I can't find it again.

I pulled scraps in those colors, then raided my stash, and cut pieces for HSTs. I figured I could work on them at social sewing when PC's creative arts building reopens in September. But as ...

Portland Rose Garden and Japanese Garden from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Well, I said it would be a good day, and it was. It was one of those days when I could have taken thousands of pictures, but I restrained myself. I'll show you what I have. This part of Portland comprises several of its most beautiful and beloved public spaces. Clustered together, one can find the Hoyt Arboretum, Washington Park, Pittock Mansion, Oregon Zoo, International Rose Test Garden, and Portland Japanese Garden. Matthew and I were there to see the Japanese Garden. As it turns out, the place was way busier than expected on a ...

Soaking Up The Porch Time from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!

I'd been waiting for this all day!

Afternoon porch sitting with the September Quiltvillians.

I had walked through the kitchen earlier to the effervescent aroma of freshly juiced limes. I later found out that they juiced NINETY (Yes, as in Nine-Zero) limes so they'd have fresh beverage makings on hand in the fridge to last over the coming week.

Strawberry Margaritas on the porch to celebrate the last few days of August and into September we go.

Can’t Wait from Victoria's Life On A Page

Bought some new panels because yes I needed more fabric lol. I’m not a big fan of panels because I can’t find a pattern I really like using for them but I can’t wait to see how these work out.

I’ve Always Wanted A Boat from Victoria's Life On A Page

For years I wanted a boat and ended up buying a kayak. Sometimes I really miss it but I can truly say I dont have the navigational skill to own a boat. I once paddled around a local park and ended up in the gulf near the shipping channel and my brother sent the coast guard to find me because I couldn’t see land once a storm came in. That being said, I might have found one I like so reconsidering. LOL

Finished (or Not) Friday - Very small finishes from My Sewing Room

EDIT: The eye procedure went well yesterday, but it was good that I had written this post early. Blurry vision was the norm for awhile. And happens again each time I put in the ointment needed for the next week. But that's a minor inconvenience.

This week, there are finishes but I warn you - they are small.

The autumn themed mini banner is done. It's only 10 x 26 - small. I now have 4 seasonal banners, and they fit perfectly hanging on that narrow space in my home office. I may need to eventually add a couple more ...

Some Friday Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I have lots of quilts to share with you today. My plan was to make two posts this week but once again, I got busy. So now they will all go on one long post.

Let's get started!

Here is a fun little sampler style quilt that we received. Sadly, it is one that the maker's tag got lost. I do know that the backing was donated by Kat and that local quilter Cindy finished it up for us. This one makes me want to play with a bunch of orphan blocks.

Elizabeth sent us some of these ...

Do you believe in coincidences? from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. While it wasn't my most exciting birthday, nor my most productive, I was happy to just putter around. And that's what life is like when you're as "old" as I am!

I'm just kidding—someone mentioned that old is ten years older than you actually are, and I think that about sums it up.

The good news is that my leg, sciatic, and knees seem to be doing so well. Knock on wood! We don't want to jinx anything. But I'm feeling so much better from the stretching ...
