Psalm 12:3, Fiber Fun and a video! Literary Life and Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

    Welcome!  I hope you are doing well today!  This past week was so busy! I had a couple of gatherings with friends and a few doctor appointments. The friends were fun; the doctors... not so much. Apparently, I have some unusually fast-growing polyps in my gallbladder, which resulted in my surgeon highly recommending its removal—especially given my history of breast cancer. After obtaining a second opinion and talking with my family, I've decided to part ways with my gallbladder. I've heard it's a pretty easy surgery to recover from.  

Now onto the fun stuff ...

What I’m Making: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from Jo's Country Junction

Rick mentioned that he likes Oatmeal cookies with raisins. I love oatmeal cookies with raisins, but I never had anyone else who liked them, so I haven’t made them. I went on a hunt for a recipe and landed on this one. It was interesting to me as it called for 3/4 cup instant pudding. …

Do you remember weaving pot holders? from Crafty Sewing and Quilting

 I remember when I was a young girl, probably about 10 or 11, I would make potholders in the car when our family took a vacation.  For each stop of our friends and relatives, I would make them a potholder, usually two! 

Now I am a Grandma. My three grandchildren call me Gigi.  They come to visit every summer and I plan several craft activities, mostly to create things outside, but there are always rainy days and we do travel in the car on and off. I selected weaving potholders for those times.  I found a wonderful company named Acorn ...

Twee bijzondere quilts. from M. Brito de Campos




Het is niet elke dag, dat je aan 2 Round Robins werkt, die gemaakt zijn door 5 dames en 2 heren. Nee, dit is een bijzondere gebeurtenis, ingeleid door een bijzondere situatie.


In maart 2024 deed het bestuur van het Quiltersgilde een oproep aan leden om mee te doen in een 'Commissie Dynamiek" om
'met mooie ideeën te komen om het Quiltersgilde toekomstbestendig te maken'. Ik heb mij daarvoor aangemeld en zo ook een aantal andere dames. 

Tijdens de Algemene Vergadering van 20 april 2024 werd de Commissie Dynamiek, onder leiding van 2 heren van de Sesam Academie, geïnstalleerd door ...

Psalm 12:1, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,
    I hope you're having a blessed day with joy, peace and love!  My week has been filled with writing, studying, playing with fiber arts, reading and a bit of time with friends.  I did have a different kind of day on Tuesday.
    Our school district honors bilingual students by offering them the opprotunity to graduate with a Bilingual Seal added to their diploma.  My former student teacher invited some of my friends who are retired teachers and myself to serve on a panel that grants students the opprotunity to graduate with their Bilingual Seals!  I am humbled ...

Lily dreams table runner from Stitching Matters

I had more urgent shopping to do before I started this next runner, and I’ve been doing two online quilt courses/summits and fell behind on one as I was ill and had to catch up.  I started doing a little marking, stopped to watch the computer and vice versa.  As sick as I was of chicken soup, I decided to have more on Wednesday evening.  It was cooked, and I really had to start quilting/ learning and was not in the mood to cook again.  I didn’t get very far with quilting. We take care of the ...

Slowing Down from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It was nice to have a day at home yesterday after such a busy week. It was on the cool side outdoors, and that made it a good day to stay inside and sew. 

My first priority was to get the binding sewn on the Merry, Merry Snowmen quilt. As you know, here at the Three Cats Ranch, a quilt cannot be considered complete until it has been fully inspected and appurroved by the Quilt Inspectorette-in-Chief. First, it must undergo the snuggleability test. Her expression had me a little worried, but she purrmitted me to continue ...

Wishes and dreams..................... from Exuberant Color


Wishes:  I wish I still had the energy and stamina I had 10 years ago.

Dreams:  I can dream about what I will make with my stash.

This is all of the 10" squares that had big blooms, some bigger than others.

There is a Kaffe quilt called "Bloomers" that has a layout that uses 3", 6", 9" and 12" finished squares.  I'll probably use the layout, but not the same fabrics as in the book.


Another dream:  I want to make a Trip Around the World with this assortment of Wm. Morris fabric.  I have been collecting  these ...

Orange and Cross Stitching the Sky from The Cozy Quilter

I got back to work on my orange Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks this week and made 6 nine patches.  The next two sets of blocks need lots of HST's so that's up next at the sewing machine.  I need to cut more orange triangles so I have enough.  It's only half way through May but I am already wondering what the colour for next month will be...



We had a great discussion at Book Club this week about "the Berry Pickers."  In June, we will be talking about "The Frozen River".  I have already read this book ...

The Graduate! from South Jersey Quilter

 Yesterday Stockton University's Class of 2026 graduated!

Now Eddie can write BSN after his name!


 

My baby pinning her baby! 

Next stop- NCLEX, the exam he has to pass to put RN after his name. It's a whole process, and he's hoping to be able to take the boards in June. 

We're so proud of him. BSN is the hardest program in any university, which the university prez confirmed in his speech. It's an endurance race, and is made harder than it has to be. 

And I was happy to see that his class had ...

Good Times & Pop-Up Shops! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


The May Quiltvillians are in the house - and they brought with them not one, but TWO pop-up fabric shops!

I love when this happens...the quilters can keep on quilting, and only have to walk a few feet to fit in some retail therapy.  What a wonderful combination!

One gal brought fabric bundles made from a quilter's stash donated by her husband after she passed away.  The fabric is coordinated in bags, some with patterns included and sold by the pound. The proceeds are going to support good causes.

RSC26 - Week #20 from My Sewing Room

Lots of orange to report this week.  Some of the blocks are joining sets with the first 4 colors of 2026, but a few are brand new block sets just beginning. 


The 12" (finished) bees are done.  The Honey Bee block is a Lori Holt pattern.  


Scrappy Stars . . . I'm trying to make a dent in the big drawer FULL of black prints.  These finish at 9", and I've been making 4 each month.  I don't often go with dark backgrounds, but I'm sure liking these.


Six inch Vintage Spools . . . so far there are only 3 orange ...

Fire Update from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

 I may be posting about this for a while as the fire is 0% contained. You simply cannot extinguish it in this kind of mountainous country. The latest report as of last night was 577 acres. This was taken about 10 miles down the 2 lane paved road.As I sit here for a moment on the deck, to type out this update, the smoke is strong and the sound of multiple chainsaws echo across the

Blast from the Past: May 2015 from Jo's Country Junction

I’m doing a little series of posts that feature old blog posts. I have been going back and looking at them. It’s been fun. I started blogging in June 2009…WOW—over fifteen years. Today, I’m still playing catch-up, so today I’m telling you about May of 2015.  I made a quilt for a wedding. This is …

Movie Today from Quilting My Way

 This morning, I was happy to sleep in a little. 

Got up and got laundry going. Then I listened to my audiobooks. I decided on the one I was listening to last night, wasn't worth listening to the other half of the book. Too much sexual content that seemed to be everywhere in the book. Thinking it, doing it and saying it. Not worth waiting to see how it ends. I like stories I can enjoy, even if some sex is in it, but not every page. 

I played my war game and was shocked to find I'm ...
