Sunday Stash October 11, 2026 from Quilt Paint Create

No fabric in this week.

I spent last weekend at retreat, sewing the days away.  I managed to finish a top for the Guild’s charity.  The pattern is Cloud Nine by Villa Rosa designs.

It went together fast considering I had nothing cut when I got there.  Some of the fabrics were mine, some came from the charity table, and my sister gave me the background fabric when she retired from teaching.

I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to quilt it or take it back to Guild for someone there to quilt.

I also worked on ...

Stitching Stuff: Week 41 of 2026 from Life In Pieces


 

This week went really fast.  How is it Sunday again?  It's been a good week on the stitching front, lots got done.  But I still didn't get to everything I had hoped to even though stitching happened every day.  


  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/Oct = 10/10 days
  • 15 minute days 2026 = 277/283 days
  • Success rate = 97.88%

It's been a good year on the stitching front. All that time at the machine has meant more quilts moving to finished this year then last. Not hard when I only finished one ...

First finish for October 2026..................... from Exuberant Color


This quilt was created from a free pattern called Kaffe Fassett Zipper from Free Spirit fabric company.  It was intended to be used with a certain pack of fat quarters that was available at the time.  I ended up choosing fabrics from my ample stash of Kaffe collective fabrics.  I didn't have the exact value changes I needed in the purple and orange but it turned out okay.


The backing fabric was designed by Philip Jacobs.  It is one of my favorite prints of his.  The binding is by Brandon Mably.  The quilt is 58" x 80" and it ...

In My Mail from Jo's Country Junction

I got a big box in the mail the other day. It was from Marie. She has sent tops before. They are so appreciated. I had so much fun going through them. I snapped some pictures to share with you…and now I need to fold them all up. The box was big…and it was FULL …

Psalm 16:5-6, Fiber Fun and a Messy Sewing Room, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

    Welcome!  If you're new to this space, you'll find it filled with our continued study of the Psalms, see what I'm up to with needle and thread, as well as discovering if I've met my goals for the week, perhaps find a book you'd like to check out and finally seeing a few things that have brought me joy (and hopefully you as well) this week.
    In my neck of the woods, it's Fall Break for my grandchildren!  Yay!  I got to spend two whole days with them in which we did ...

Fall Trees Framed, Quilt Repairs and Placemats from The Cozy Quilter

I picked up my Fall Trees cross stitch from the framer this week.  I'm really pleased how the orange frame looks with these colourful trees. It is now hanging in our living room.  I didn't even pick up my cross stitch this past week but hope to add some stitches this coming week. 


I made my daughter a quilt when she graduated from university and the binding was worn out so I cut it off and machine stitched some new grey binding on.  This will be my hand stitching project over the next couple of days.  There were ...

The hummingbird is flying from Quilting and More...

I’ve finished my latest paper-piecing project! I love this bird, but I absolutely hated how it was made. Don’t get me wrong, though; the fabrics and colors are amazing, and I do enjoy paper piecing. However, this is a new-to-me kind of paper piecing, and I didn’t enjoy it at all. That’s fine; lots of people […]

Slow and Sweet from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. This will be a shorty. There are two reasons for that. First, we gave ourselves a chill day yesterday, which meant we did next to nothing. It was warm, but very windy outside, and so it wasn't particularly pleasant being out there. We might have taken the walk down by the river, but the wind discouraged us. And, if I'm being honest, the warning about the presence of venomous snakes killed my curiosity about anything else we might find there.

Instead, I spent a good part of the day slow-stitching. When I'd done ...

This and That from Words & Stitches

So, it’s been a while and I found myself getting inimidated on how much I needed to catch up on so I’m just gong to jump in and give you a highlights reel kind of post.

Quilting

I recently finished this top from one of the Project Quilting Challenges. The theme was, I think, about vacations? I remember that I couldn’t get the top quilted in order ot meet the deadline and ended up doing a pincushion. The signal flag blocks spell out “Let’s go” if you read them from top left to right and from ...

Celtic Scarf from Knitting Quilter


My daughter asked me to make her a nice thick scarf for the winter. I found this pattern in one of my knitting books. It's a celtic scarf full of cables. I was following the pattern and noticed an error so I fixed that in the book. Other than that, it's a pretty straight forward pattern. You just have to follow those different cables to get that nice Aran effect. That's my version on the bottom of the picture. 

This is the yarn I bought from KnitPicks. That's a great site to buy yarn at really ...

Change Of Seasons - from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


This seems to happen overnight.

We've had some beautiful days , temps high 70s f pushing 80 - one day at 84 which felt somehow surreal considering it is nearing mid October -

But summer eventually does come to an end.

I looked out the sliding glass door to see that daylight seemed a bit more golden and stepped out onto the front porch to look at the trees.

You've been spammed!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I get spam in the blog comments all the time, and I try to delete it every day. They still come back, and it's amazing what triggers the comments. 

But yesterday I got spammed differently. And I "almost" got scammed. I received an email from an acquaintance, but she was also part of an organization I belong to. Since the information was vague, I asked for more details. The response came back with legitimate information, although still somewhat vague, and I will say that it crossed my mind why this person would contact me. 

Then I got an email ...

RSC26 - Week #41 from My Sewing Room


Scrappy Stars is a complete flimsy.  I don't use dark backgrounds often enough, but maybe this will prompt me to do so more in the future.  I really like how the black prints make the colors pop in those stars.  These blocks finish at 9" so this is only 45" x 54" - a nice size to snuggle under on the couch.  


One leftover block has become a hot pad for my kitchen.  It's already in the kitchen drawer with the other hot pads, and the bonus is I threw away 5 very worn out hot pads so the ...

Weer terug van vacantie from Quilting Mathilda



 Het is weer even geleden, maar ondertussen ook met vakantie geweest, nu in de Belgische ardennen.

Genoten van het mooie weer en veel gefietst.

 Hieronder een paar van de vele foto's.








 Ondertussen ook nog iets gedaan aan het randje van de week, sal van Soedidee. Was heel erg achter vanwegen mijn geblesseerde hand. nu tot week 20.

 


 En ook al een rand met blaadjes van de Jane Austen quilt af.

 


 En daarna was mijn linkerarm overbelast, zucht. dus nu maar weer even rustig aan.

 

Ondertussen bij Simone dit borduurwerk aangeschaft voor betere tijden,

Black stitching for RSC from Romany Quilting

 It's black and neutral sewing month, or catching up with projects,  for Rainbow Scrap Challenge, and I'm delighted that I finally found the missing bag containing everything I need for my final selvedge double handed oven mitts.  I stitched a whole lot of these last year, using up all my selvedges in the recommended colours most months, except for the few last remaining black ones.  And I hunted high and low and just couldn't find them anywhere.  Does that happen to you, as well, put something away safely then have no idea where it is?  I eventually ...
