What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Just like that it was my last week at Quilt Direct. There were 2 hectic days at the start of the week while an Embroidery Mastery class was running. There was much running about fetching goodies from the warehouse for the attendees and many, many cups of tea to make. My final 2 days were spent teaching how to be confident and creative with the L890. The pupils all enjoyed exploring the techniques like gathering, flatlock and fringing. My colleagues had a whip round and gave me some money towards getting a 3D printer because I want to make an ...

 Hello friends! If you are a quilter (new or advanced) Minda Morton and I are starting a Civil War quilt group. Our first meeting will be informational and will take place at Sew Dee-Liteful Quilt Shop on October 15, in Madras, Oregon from 10AM-noon. Please come if you can! Have questions? Feel free to ask!

I know there are some local people who are blog readers. I hope you see this!

I've been asked if this will be online. As of today, no, but you never know!

Good morning, my friends. We had a blissfully short drive yesterday...just 44 miles to our location here in Electric City, Washington. The town was established in 1934 as a place to house workers for the Grand Coulee Dam project. Some of the original buildings were relocated here from the nearby town of Osbourne. Osbourne was inundated when the dam was built. Electric City was incorporated in 1950.

This is the view of Banks Lake from our campsite. Banks Lake resulted from the damming of the Columbia River.

 Another crazy week!

I had the opportunity to go to a few new (to me) sewing groups around Eugene and meet some new quilters.  One of the groups I crashed, I have known about for decades.  I had met one of the ladies that sews there and I promised her some scrappy strings for a project she is working on.  I decided to take four big brown bags stuffed with scraps in case someone else could use some.  It was so fun seeing all of those quilters sort, pet and stack every single one of those bits of fabric.  Someone ...

Pepper on cottage cheese? OK -- I must try that. I'm away this coming week (AGAIN!), but I'll try it when I get home. I still have two road trips before the end of the year and one and perhaps two plane trips. Wait -- and a weekend quilt retreat. It's going to be silly. 

PHEW -- both presentations are done for this morning. I swear it's amassing my photos for the darn things that can take so long. Thankfully, I have a very good filing system for my pictures - NOT perfect by any means, but not bad. But ...

Welcome to the 2026 Fall Fortnight Event! Over the next two weeks, we’ll have many Autumn inspired quilting and embroidery projects for you to do along with a new recipe, cards, and a special charity project with specials or giveaways on every post!

Today we begin the Fall Fortnight Quilt Along. I have designed an oversized table topper or wall hanging for you that measures about 60-inches square. If you’d like to make the project into a throw size, just make three more Block A Lattice blocks,and two more Star Blocks. This isn’t a mystery, so ...

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 ...

Earlier this year I was lucky enough to find a cute Halloween panel with some additional pieces of fabric from the same line at a local quilt show. I knew immediately I wanted to use them for my high school classroom.

Halloween isn’t really celebrated as a family event here in the Netherlands, it is more of a teenager and adult party with lots of horror elements. I am not really a horror fan but I do like the vintage Halloween style with black cats, bats, a few ghosts and carved pumpkins.

The images on the panel are not ...

There has been a bit of slow stitching going on, working on a couple of small Christmas Stockings.  These came to me in a package sent by Jo (ButterZ) from Australia a few months ago.   The package included about a dozen small felt stockings, cut out with the decorations fused, waiting to be stitched together.  Jo told me she had them for 10 years or so, and was more than happy to finally pass them on.

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.

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 …

 Today, I wanted to sleep in but didn't. I did play on my tablet and take a walk around the neighborhood. Trouble was, there were neighbors out and about, so, I ended up stopping and talking to them. I did get 4 laps in though. 

Then I sat down and worked on my cross stitching. 

Got more done than I thought I would. 

Of course, Sophie wanted me to pay attention to her instead. She didn't last very long once I got going. Sometimes she moves to the end of the chair but not today. I'm trying ...
