I Like Thursday #251 from The Knitting Quilter

It's time for I Like Thursday! It looks like our leaves are starting to change color. This is the woods in my backyard. It seems to start with just a few leaves and then all of a sudden, color is everywhere! It's been warm and dry here but I hear our temperatures are going to decline. The leaves will probably change even faster!

I forgot I had received a gift certificate to a local quilt shop. I finally went there and bought this table runner kit. I don't have a pumpkin runner and always wanted one. I ...

Home Again from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Happily, I'm sitting at my desk at home to write this post. How are y'all doing? It's been a while since we've spoken while stationary. Feels weird, doesn't it?

So lemme tell you about the drive home, and then I'll tell you what's going to happen next. We left Klamath Falls under sunny skies. The road out of Klamath Falls runs alongside Upper Klamath Lake. It's the largest body of fresh water by surface area in Oregon. It is approximately 25 miles (40 km) long and 8 miles ...

The Test of Time from From the Strawberry Patch...

Once a month, our church hosts a gathering for Young Women/Mothers to socialize, study God's word and enjoy snacks. I've been helping out with the children during these times (seriously believing that I get the best end of the deal!); playing games and supervising outdoor play. I've been digging deep into the game closet at home for new(!) different and exciting ways to occupy their time and

Quilted Table Runner : Green Fields Magic Carpet from Sewing Under the Little Mushroom Cap

I finished a fun project today—a new table runner! A few months ago, I mentioned this quilted table runner in my newsletter, along with another with a slightly different block layout. However, I hadn’t quilted it at that time. My goal was to create something with minimal colors to match my home decor. I love working with colors, but I also enjoy when a project blends perfectly with the home.

10 inch stack fabric

It all started with the beautiful “Green Field” fabric collection by Lisa Audit for Wilmington Prints. I bought the 10″ stack of this stunning ...

Forest, field trip, and a flimsy before flying from With Strings Attached

Monday afternoon we returned to Lyons Woods, a forest preserve we've often visited.

I was intent on trying to see the blue jay that flew across the path and nearly stepped on this little guy. He slithered away fast. (Young garter snake.)

This color combination of purple aster, yellow sunflower, and yellow-green leaves against the blue sky -- what a great idea for a quilt! (It has been hot and sunny most of the month. We need rain.)

Yesterday the AAUW Exploring Culture interest group enjoyed a tour of the Adlai E. Stevenson Historic Home in Mettawa.

I Like Thursday # 419 mums the word, and poodle logic from Not Afraid of Color

I

the sun is still intense heating the temps even more. But... Fall is coming if only in name! That means Mums to me. Back in Maryland, I could buy inexpensive pots and line the walkway to my house.

In Colorado they are expensive like everything else.

We ordered one 3 quart red one from HomeDepot ($16 ) and three 1 quart gold ones from amazon ($19) and tried to make the display as showy as possible. Then I ordered a purple 3 qu (from H.D.) and another orange one too ($16 each) to show up this week.

We didn ...

Val's Simply Dashing 2.0 from Night Owl Quilting

This is Val's second unique interpretation of our Highway 10 Designs Simply Dashing pattern. The pattern is written as a two fabric quilt that utilizes strip piecing for a fast and easy finish.

Val made it her own by starting with some ombre fat quarters and doing a whole lot of organizing and planning along the way.

I think the navy background really makes all of the other colors pop. Val chose the Soho pantograph and a shiny blue thread.

Val chose her backing fabric from the small collection of Northcott wide backs that I have in stock. This ...

Storyboard Stacked Slabs Top from The Colorful Fabricholic

In July, Quilt Diva Julie sent me two boxes of fabric, donations for PCQ's charity quilts. Wow, I was blown away! Thank you, Julie.

The chair of our charity committee asked me to make up "Blank Kits" with the donated fabrics plus others from the club's stash as needed. I was able to make up about 8 kits from the fabrics Julie sent. We don't include patterns in our Blank Kits, but let the maker choose their own pattern.

Included in Julie's donation were some FQs from the Storyboard collection by Seth Apter. Very cool, kind ...

A lucky day! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I didn't win the huge lotto jackpot (which is huge for Canada), but I had a very lucky day!

As I mentioned yesterday, my printer started working from my desktop computer. Why? I have no idea. Was it a one-time thing? I have no idea.

Then, I got myself organized and ready to leave. I stopped at Tim's to get tea, which is a treat for me when I'm on the road. Yes, I could make tea and put it in a travel mug, but I chose to buy tea. It's unusual that I do that ...

Store sample progress from My Sewing Room

It's a mystery quilt, so I can't show you much. But I should have the store sample quilt top assembled sometime today.

Really, there are only the 2 side borders left to sew together and then attach to the top. The rest is done. I've never really kept track of the amount of time spent to make a quilt top before so this was an interesting process. A lot of the units for this pattern were made slightly oversized and then squared up. That makes very accurate blocks, but all that trimming takes time. But I've ...

Maria Shell Workshop In Progress + Carrie's Traverse Row Quilt The Power of a Really Great Stripe: Maria Shell Workshop + Only M... from Cheeky Cognoscenti

The second half of my two-part Making Prints improvisational piecing workshop with Maria Shell was this past Monday evening via Zoom. Our assignment from Part One of the class had been to create a palette of solid color fabrics and then construct a bunch of different units using those fabrics and techniques that had been demonstrated in class. Despite being down with Covid all week, I managed to get a bunch of these chunks made, slapped them on my design wall in the main hallway of my house, and then every time I walked by I either stopped to scowl ...

Early autumn in northern Illinois................. from Exuberant Color

The Black Eyed Susan in the crack of the sidewalk is dying back and now I will try to cut it out of there and plant it somewhere else.

I touched the blooms on the Zinfin Doll Hydrangea and they are dry enough to cut a bouquet now.

This is the only Black Eyed Susan still in full bloom. Since it is so dry here I expect it to change pretty quickly.

I am so thrilled with the growth of this red shaggy center Coneflower plant. I had a previous one that started coming up a second year and then ...

A Couple Days in New Mexico from Quilts....etc.
