What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I liked it so much that I started another one. It seems a bit easier this time around. There are too many thread changes but I do love how this looks ...

 I had yet another area of basal cell carcinoma removed from my face this morning. I think this is #5.

 In progress and finished! About a 3 hour project while watching TV, not counting cutting the 2x7 strips. I'm pleased with it. It was a kit that I got from Shabby Fabrics. Now I have the pattern!

I ordered non toxic markers to make Sally Snake's face, they should ...

 This is a painting by William Kurelek called "Balsam Avenue After Heavy Snowfall", 1972.  This area of Toronto just had a huge snowfall so I imagine the present day residents doing just this. Shovelling snow is certainly something all Canadians are very familiar with. Do you like the way William used pops of colour here in what otherwise would be a drab background?

Good morning, my friends. I have a lot to tell you today, and lots of pictures to show. You might want to top-off whatever your drinking and get settled in a comfy chair. Before you do that, though, be sure to lace up your hiking boots. We're gonna go for a short, but challenging hike.

Heading out, we drove directly toward these mountains before turning north. I can never get over the beauty of the geological features of this area. It doesn't have the impact of a place like, say, Monument Valley, but the colors and shadows of ...

Welcome to my stop on the Quilt Block Mania Blog Hop. Each of the designers participating in the hop are sharing a block pattern inspired by this month’s theme, which is Love Letter.

This is my seventh year participating in QBM, and I hope you’ve enjoyed my free block pattern each month! If you’ve missed any, the patterns for previous months are available in my shop.

To learn how to get my free pattern, see How to Get the Free Block at the end of this post.

I love Valentines. I love schmaltzy ...

This heart stamp quilt block was so fun to design, and is simple to make! With a basic heart in the center

The post Mail Themed Quilt Blocks appeared first on Always Expect Moore.

Winter hasn't completely relented, but we at least got a bit of a warm up yesterday.  I'll take highs in the 50's after a week of highs just above freezing.  The cold weather has been really good at driving me into my sewing room. One certainly doesn't want to be out and about much in those temps.  More sewing time was definitely a good thing for making progress on last week's to do list. 

My friend, Diana, gave me this kitchen print fabric recently. She had purchased it for herself, but lost interest in making anything with it. I thought it would be perfect for an embroidery project for the kitchen. Measuring it out, I could cut it into four rectangular pieces about 18 x 20. Adding a band with the embroidery would bring it up to a great size for use.

Red and teal are such a popular combination, not only for modern kitchens, but also the ones vintage inspired. I pulled threads to match the colors in the fabric, and assigned the ...

One of my big priorities this month is to finish the top of a very large quilt (Jackrabbit Stars), but to do that I really need to free up more work space in my sewing space.  To that end, I'm going to focus on getting some smaller projects done first and moved out of the way.  That is because I have multiple projects laying around, as always.  Small project #1 . . .

String blocks are quite addictive to make, and I've done a few bigger quilts over the years with strings.  But this time I used them in a small ...

It was a great day at the Product Showcase for work, and no, I did not need a nap, but I was so tired when I got home that I wanted to go to bed. I did not, but I did absolutely nothing after dinner. And I doubt I'll get anything done tonight either! 

But I got to meet friends at the meeting and learned a few things. Alas, there are no pictures to share today! Nothing! 

However, there is a QUILTsocial blog post for you to check out.

One thing I did get done during the day was to layer several stratas, staggered by 1" and cut 2.5" segments from them.  I had sewn the 2 strips together and did the pressing last week.

We went Friday, but I’ve been busy with other things and didn’t manage to sit down and write a post. First of all, it was cold! It took a little over an hour to get there plus another few minutes to find the Presbyterian church. They had antique quilts on display in the sanctuary. 

You might remember I had some leftover green string blocks on my sewing room island when I told you about my sewing plans for 2026. I had it in mind that they might go good in a John Deere baby quilt. When my daughter Kelli came for a day…we put the top together. Luckily, when …

 This morning, I had to head to Colleen's, then meet Kelsey in Centralia, and then head to moms. It was a busy morning just getting to moms. I ended up picking up 2 quilts to go to moms. 

When I arrived, there were 4 of them there. Of course, mom had to pull out her blocks she's been making for us to help her decide how they are going to be put together. So, she made me help her lay them out on the floor.
