I Like Thursday #305 from The Knitting Quilter

It's time for Thursday Likes! Please visit LeeAnna over at Not Afraid of Color to link up with more blogs posting happy and fun content every Thursday. The weather isn't quite as cold as it has been. It's so nice to have temperatures that aren't bone chilling for a change! Anyways, I've been working on my cross stitch kitty. This is a slow process due to all the thread changes but I love how it's coming out. I only work on it while watching television. It's fun to stitch and watch the Olyympics ...

What Beast To Bind! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!

After getting Quiltville Inn ready for the arrival of the B.A.D. Bee quilters I was able to grab some time to get the binding on the String Rings quilt.

Red for the win!

I tried several colors that would have worked from green to purple to blue to black, but red was the one that seemed to tie everything together, so red it is.

Peppermint Bark Christmas Quilt from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

A few years ago I stumbled upon this Peppermint Bark fat quarter bundle at a great sale price and I waited for a pattern that would showcase those great colors and prints. The Cleo Quilt pattern from Kitchen Table Quilting felt right and in June 2024 I started pressing all the fat quarters. I also threw in these 2 plaid prints because I think every quilt needs some plaid.

Cross Stitch Easter Eggs from Kitty and Me Designs

Despite my collection of cross stitch patterns by other designers (and there are many), every now and then, I like to stitch one of mine. Actually, I'd like to stitch a lot of mine but there really are only so many hours in the day.

From my Easter Borders Cross Stitch leaflet, I stitched the eggs as a single motif:

I love Spring and this design was calling out to me for quite awhile! I worked on it while watching the Figure Skating which of course reminds me of my mother (everything does) because she loved to watch the ...

Sunny and Cold from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. The wind blew hard the night before, but it was a calm day for most of the day. The sun was shining, but it was too cold to be out without bundling up first. We had a couple of errands to run, but I had some time to spend on my slow-stitching in the morning.

My hoop was filled, and so I moved my hoop to the right and down a little. I could capture all but a little bit at the top. I'll start at the bottom this morning, and then I'll be ...

Little House Sampler Quilt Sew Along ~ Native Star - Block #2 from Melva Loves Scraps

Welcome back to Melva Loves Scraps and the Little House Sampler Sew Along. The second book of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Little House series is probably the most popular, favorite and familiar to LIW fans, thanks the television series... Little House on the Prairie.

The adventures of the Ingalls family continue as they leave the little house in the big woods of Wisconsin and set out for the big skies of Kansas Territory. They were feeling settled with the completion of a cabin and small barn. They were planting and plowing, hunting wildlife and gathering grass for the animals... and ...

A finish from South Jersey Quilter

Wow, the temperature has been in the 40's, and we can actually see the ground in spots!

I finished this late last night! Used up some partial skeins, and some new white.

I got ambitious this morning! Changed out V Day for St Patrick's, have to take some pix. When Ralph got home from his weekly breakfast with the Veterans, I hadn't sat down to eat yet. He changed out the wreaths on the front and back doors for me.

The guest room bed is covered in piles of Christmas fabric, sorted into the colors of the ...

Alice's Wonderland from Night Owl Quilting

Deann made this sweet quilt using blocks from the Alice's Wonderland Sampler Quilt Book by Alice Caroline. The book contains 100 blocks, but Deanne decided that 49 blocks made a great quilt.

Deann used a lovely mix of old and new fabrics in the quilt. Deann is a fairly new quilter, but her sister Eileen has enjoyed the hobby for years and has accumulated some fabric that Deann sometimes dips into.

Deann chose the Feathered Garden pantograph that adds a pretty finish.

I really love the Dear Stella Jardin print that Deann selected for the back too.

The email saga continues from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

For the record, I do NOT give my dogs people food. Currently, three adults live in this house, and TWO of them think it's OK to slip them the occasional tidbit of food, including veggies. I'm OK with the veggies, though some are not safe for dogs. And for this reason, those two dogs hang around those two people waiting for the tidbits. Trust me, I have repeatedly said, DO NOT FEED the dogs people food, and it falls on deaf ears. Thankfully, it's not a lot of food, but I keep repeating the message.

Since this ...

Reference, inspiration. from contemporary embroidery

I often speak about how past work inspires and informs and consequently am a big advocate of never throwing anything away.

The books, ledgers, sketchbooks here are old, some older than others.

The red one for example was made 30 years ago.

These pieces and others are referred to regularly.

Having references like these is invaluable and I feel fortunate to have resources like these literally at my fingertips.

So true and they are interesting to make! by Elizabeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/03470810820417327936

I found a better strip for the left side of this medallion project. I also added three more strips to the bottom. I like it a lot just as it is and could just quilt it and bind it now, but it is only 37" x 49". The bottom borders are purple but they just show up as dark unless you click on the photo for a closer look. I need to remember to turn on my extra light shining on the bottom of the design wall when I am taking photos.

So, I'm back to the idea I ...

I Like Thursday # 492 and there's a new dog in town from Not Afraid of Color

O. M. POODLE!! We picked up Dewey on Sunday wayyyyy out in the middle of Colorado and he's now our new son!!! Hooray,

It's been a long time coming as the song says. Milo passed over a year ago. We think we've found the sweetest boy to join our family and help us love again. He is 20 months old, a standard poodle, very skinny at 50 lbs and such a gentleman.

His first mom said he may be too scared to walk, but he wants to be with us. Each day he's gotten more curious ...

From Busy To Lazy from Quilting My Way

This morning, I needed to get stuff ready and head out the door. I had to redo the certificate and get it ready for the male. Then I had to get the quilts in the house done with labels and get them ready to go to the museum. I had to stitch down one of the labels, but that wasn't hard. I was hoping to be out the door by 10:05 am but had to wait till 10:30 am.

First stop was at Jo's to pick up the panel quilt. Then it was off to the ...

And it’s a quilt top from Beryl the Pearl

I have some blues and greens left so I will make a border to enclose seams and points. I wouldn’t be surprised if something was backwards or upside down! So glad it’s completed and ready

to quilt and gift. Later….oops I noticed 2 blocks on the furthest end are upside down, so I did fix them no photo
