Stitching Stuff: Week 45 of 2026 from Life In Pieces

 


How are you adjusting to the time change?  The early sunset seems to have sapped my evening energy.  But that's not new. I started the 15 minute stitching time challenge because I remember driving home in the dark after work and just having no energy to carry me to the sewing room.  It was easier in the summer. I must be at least partially solar powered.  Now that I'm retired it's not so bad as I can get into my sewing room before it gets dark.  So it's no surprise that time change didn't play ...

Prep work........................... from Exuberant Color


I pressed the huge pile of flannel chunks and started cutting.  This pile is 31 three inch tumblers.  They are joining the 84 that were cut last year.  I need to cut a couple hundred more for a small quilt, or use them in a quilt with lots of different shapes.


I needed a few more dark 2" finished triangles, but in the end I cut lots of both dark and light.





I paired the darks and lights and have enough ready to sew 58 little blocks.  









I could use them to make 8" star blocks, or 4" hourglass blocks ...

Some Handwork from Quilts....etc.

I wasn’t on the computer much and spent a good part of the day with the heating pad at my lower back.  I woke up the early morning of Saturday barely able to move – sciatic? I don’t know, I was glad that I keep the cane close to the bed every since the horrible […]

Psalm 16:8 We Will NOT Be Shaken! Fiber Fun, Literary Living and Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

 Hello There,

    Thank you for stopping in!  I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the changes of weather in your part of the world.  During that time, we went to San Diego.  We enjoyed a quiet week with family.  We actually spent most of our time at my sister's and brother-in-law's home making simple meals and occastionally eating out.  I enjoyed spending two days with Mama talking and simply being together.  Of course I visited my favorite independent yarn store, Apricot Yarn and Supply.

A Day With Family from Quilting My Way

This morning, we called mom to see what the plans were for my brother and sister-in-law being in town. We ended up with going to moms to play games and have supper. We also came up with Monday having to go to Patrick's in Vancouver with the family. We will leave Chris and Sonja there and bring mom back. They are due to leave out of Portland on Tuesday. 


We played train and my sister-in-law won. Patrick and Chris went to get pizza at Pappa Murphy's and we cooked it when they got home. I was surprised at ...

Another Update and Halloween Wrap Up from Loose Threads

I've kind of lost my blog writing uumph but thought I'd post a few pictures from Halloween here at my house and give you a bit of an update.    I'll save the update until the end in case you want to skip that.  

Our two grandsons came over and helped decorate for Halloween.  The oldest is 14, so he did most of the outside decorating.  I think the trick or treaters enjoyed the lights.

                                       


Here are the three tomato cage ghosts that we put out every year.  My tomato cage ghost tutorial can be found in my ...

Disney Princess top done and ready for quilting... from Dreamworthy Quilts

 I am super excited to share this sweet little quilt as a completed top! It was easy once I made the decision to NOT put the ladies in a castle.  I simplified and conquered! 

The back is complete, and this baby is ready for the quilter.

It is a nice size for a child or to hang on a wall.

Turkey Wallhanging from Knitting Quilter


It's a rainy and dreary day today. I opted to stay home and do some sewing. I'm on the last strip of my scrap quilt. I'll post about that another time. I put all the Halloween decorations away and hung this turkey in anticipation of Thanksgiving Day. I think it's the only quilt I've made for this holiday. 

I've made lots of progress on my daughter's scarf. It now measures about 32" long. I think it's coming out great. I'm getting a little faster at knitting each row. I think it ...

SewTites: solving the problem of sliding rulers from Quilting Studio Adventures

 I can’t be the only one with this problem: you line up your fabric in the cutting board, you carefully place your ruler, you get your rotary cutter, and you start.  And so often the ruler slides and my cut is uneven.


So my solution has been to use a pressure ruler.  It’s 24” long.  When you press down on it,  little rubber bits cling to the fabric,  like this:


And sometimes even my grippy ruler slides a bit.  But a new system is solving my slide-y ruler dilemma It’s SewTites.   This clever system has a magnetic ...

Four Corners from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It was a productive day yesterday. I'm closing in on a finish for the Cats in Pajamas. It should be an easy task to finish it today. Under Smitty's watchful eye, I turned the fourth corner on the binding.


And, duh. A quilt with cats on both sides obviously needs two quilt inspectors. Sadie was happy to help out.


It was a day-long effort, but all the while I was sewing, I was working on this Leek and Chanterelle Tart. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I used half chanterelle mushrooms and half ...

Finally, I am back! from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

 Sorry I have not been very active on here lately.  There are so many other things I have to get done each day and I don't always have the energy or desire to write a post.  

I draw the line at working past 9pm.  Sorry...




We have had this quilt top for a couple years.  It needed some love and there was no one wanting to give it.  The center had some matching issues and the thin border that was on it was cut way too short so it didn't lay flat.  Board Member Marcia finally took it ...

RSC26 - Week #45 from My Sewing Room

This week had 2 non-sewing days, so I didn't get any more block sets assembled into tops.  But I did some block making to fill out sets that needed additional blocks.  


Because I've been making Windmill blocks again this fall, it was easy to just donate the 2 older Windmill quilt tops already hanging in the closet to be finished by someone else. Now the new blocks will continue to add up until I have enough of them.  Right now I have 34 blocks, sewn into 17 pairs.  I'll need a lot more, so these will continue ...
