RSC26 - Week #19 from My Sewing Room

Another good week of sewing, but not as much orange as I hoped.

Early in the week I got 2 Snail Trail blocks made, as Leaders/Enders while working on something else. But now that the high priority project is behind me I can focus on more RSC sewing. I've been making 4 of each color every month.

Yesterday I got 2 more made.

And 3 orange Hollow-9 blocks joined the pack. And they were a good reminder that I have a baby quilt of Hollow-9 blocks ready to quilt, by me on my regular machine. I need to ...

More prep work........................... from Exuberant Color

I have been cutting more 1.5" batik squares since there wasn't a good variety left on the trays.

One of these trays was miscellaneous and the reds aren't spread out on the other tray. I can switch them over to the pink tray and just stack the miscellaneous pieces that rarely get used.

I cut 15 more stacks of 6 layers and each piece yields 4 squares so this pile will be 360 little squares when cut.

It was a beautiful day in the mid 60s yesterday. My company and I went to my son's house ...

Two Orange and a Yellow from Romany Quilting

That's all I needed for one of my current RSC projects. Just two orange blocks, the colour for May, and one extra for the corner, which I stitched in yellow. Nice bright colours to go with the black on grey funky dinosaurs.

The last three blocks

That was nice and easy, so then I set about webbing the blocks together. Somehow I got one row tangled up and around the wrong way, goodness knows how that happened. It all worked out fine in the end though. The borders were added over a couple more days, as I don't ...

Scrappy Saturday from Quarter-Inch Capers

I was able to get some Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks done. I finally moved on to orange, and I’m enjoying working on these bright, colorful blocks.

I got two of these finished.

And, two of these sixteen patch stars.

In my head, I call them the “biggie stars”. The blocks are 16”, so they look really big to me. I should be able to make a good sized quilt with them. Oh, I have a problem; I am going to run out of the background fabric soon. I have looked for more, including online, and can’t seem to ...

Psalm 12, Part 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 ...

Nothing Exciting Today from Quilting My Way

Got up this morning and just played my match games for a bit. Patrick went golfing.

Around 1:30 pm was my war game, so I had to play that for an hour and a half. Didn't do good but think I made it to the next round, or at least I think I did.

We left right after my game to pick mom up. We took her down to Longview to have supper with my brother. Red Lobster is the place we meet up. It works out great. We treated mom to a Birthday and Mother's Day ...

What I’m Reading: As Bright as Heaven from Jo's Country Junction

I had a lot of books on Libby in my waitlist…nothing looked like it would be available soon, so I went on a hunt. I wanted to find historical fiction, but not WWII. I came across the book As Bright as Heaven by Susan Meissner. I’ve read other books by her and was hopeful this …

Of Bobbins & Bosoms: A Mammogram Just Saved My Life from Gefilte Quilt

Late last year, I was thinking "I am at a creative impasse, I have no new inspiration, I am repeating myself in my art, and also in this long, tedious, redundant thought-sentence."

At which point my exasperated right breast said, "Hold my beer."

It proceeded to gift me with a Stage 1A breast cancer, and now I have SO much new creative inspiration! Specifically, everything I see, own, make or have made, looks like a bosom.

Many of my latest gel plate prints, made with doily-like stencils, look like this.

My newest rubber stamp

Random pieced improv triangle mandalas that ...

Seeking a Rut from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. We have three birthdays in a single week, followed by Mother's Day. With PT in the mix, it has me feeling as if I've been on the run. (No wonder I got a speeding ticket.) Mainly, I'm just doing things not a part of my usual routine. Next week, Mike will have a cataract surgery on Wednesday, and so I have just a few days to enjoy a relatively normal schedule.

It was a good day to spend some time in the greenhouse yesterday. The ...

How I Machine Quilted the Village Quilt on my Home Sewing Machine from Quilty Pleasures

I had sew much fun quilting my beach-themed Village Quilt!

This quilt came together as part of Tracy Mooney’s Quilt Along. The quilt along is still active, so follow along with Tracy at Sew Supportive. My houses reminded me of the bathing houses at Dendy Beach near Melbourne, Australia.

I added a fun beachy fabric for the back chose a simple wave machine quilting design that felt like the perfect finishing touch for the beach theme. Sometimes the simplest quilting designs are the most effective, and the wave quilting finished this quilt beautifully.

Of course, quilting plans have a ...

April Roadtrip from If These Threads Could Talk

April 2026 was one long roadtrip!

Some of you have found this already and have been asking me about it so let's just put it all out there, shall we??

I was contacted by my publishers at C&T and asked if we could do a "Greatest Hits" kind of book together containing 30 of my favorite quilts from my previous publications.

I said yes!
