March 2026 Challenges and To-Do-List
from Mel's quilting blog
2026 should be a better year for completions.
I have a lot of memory projects I REALLY want to finish this year.
My 2026 List is:
1. Donna's Memory Quilts (4)
The first top is done. Does it need to be bigger, or do borders need to be added?
2. Lillian's Memory Bears (10)
I have one started.
I need to take a few days and make them in an assembly line.
The stuffing will be the challenge.
I've sewn a little, but without much focus.
3. Ashley High School Graduation Quilt
I have the shirts sorted ...

Moving North
from ... Cat Patches
Good morning, my friends. We’re in a death march toward home, although with our new rule about driving shorter distances, it doesn’t feel as much like a death march. It’s more like a pleasant trot. We’ll head to Reno, Nevada, for today’s drive. There’s no particular reason for stopping in Reno, but it was a good amount of travel for a single day. It probably seems as if ending our day in Nevada would have us traveling in the wrong direction, but it makes sense when you realize that Nevada and Oregon share a ...

This and that
from South Jersey Quilter
Before we went to lunch yesterday, I did a few things in the sewing room, nothing picture worthy.
I fixed a coaster that one seam hadn't caught.
I hemmed the sleeves of a fabric cardigan that Manda made me.
My mom had made a toddler sized denim shirt jacket, I'm not sure who she started it for. The pins in the side seams were so rusted that they broke and I had to use a hemostat to get them out. I did the side seams and hemmed it, and now it can go to Baby Boone.
I sewed ...

Costco Treat, Stitching Projects Progress, Still Winter
from Canadian Needle Nana
We had sun in spurts yesterday but today we are back to a white world out there both sky and landscape. It has continued to snow a lot- small flakes but they add up. The saying at home was "small snow, big snow" and when the snowflakes were large...."big snow, small snow". This has been a winter of small snow building up. The dogs love it all of course. I'm so happy that having obedient Petey, who comes when called, join us has meant Ned stays close too and no longer needs to be on a leash. This ...

from My Sewing Room
First . . . an update on the state wrestling tournament for my granddaughter. She ended up with 8th place (out of 16) by default as she got a dislocated elbow in the match to determine whether she would be wrestling for 3rd, 5th, or 7th. Ended up in the ER, where she was sedated and the elbow put back into place. There is a cast on it for next 6 weeks or so. But no broken bones or torn tissues so she's lucky.
It was a tough way to end a really successful season for her. When her parents went back ...

Loving All The Little Things
from Canadian Needle Nana
Back in 2016, just over ten years ago, I wrote this post called 5 Healthy Things I'm Doing. I reread it recently and was happy to find I'm still doing those things most of the time. Though the oil pulling has fallen by the wayside, I've added a couple of other healthy habits. I'm so grateful I am still able to do these things. Who knows what tomorrow may bring!
My unofficial words for this year are keep moving. They've been in my mind all my adult life so it's not special for 2026 ...

from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!
As I continually looked at the weather app on my phone, trying to determine if the details were correct, or would they change, and in which direction - I set my sights on Saturday where temps would be firmly in the 60s.
Believing that the mud had enough time to dry a bit before I stepped out onto the first dirt road hike of 2026, I set my sights on a walk down by the river.
Sewing Expo
from Humble Quilts
Years ago I used to meet my SIL in WA state and we would attend the Sewing and Stitchery Expo. This year we were able to go!
For those of you who have attended my trunk shows this is the SIL that I took my first class with in Sisters with Jean Wells!
Not one thing was purchased but we saw a lot of quilts with sheep!
We made it to a couple of antique stores and saw a few overpriced beautiful quilts.
I thought the quilting on this was unique. (see next photo)

Oh that sashing fabric!

Weekly update: SAHRR and another finish, stash report, goals + reading
from With Strings Attached
The Stay at Home Round Robin is quilted and bound. Hooray!
The back uses two book-related fabrics.
I made the courthouse steps flimsy in 2023. Barb quilted it in an overall Baptist fan. It's 72 x 84.
I've scheduled a quilt a month with Barb. Whether I take something from the box of flimsies or create something new will depend on the month.

from Quilty Pleasures
Years ago, I pieced the free Fat Quarter Shop Jelly Roll Mystery Quilt. The complete pattern is still available free online. I knew I wanted to quilt swirling snowflakes and I finally got around to quilting them!
Oh. My. Heck! This new (to me) free-motion quilting pattern is THE BEST! I'd be shocked if other quilters hadn't done this pattern before, but it was something I saw in my mind and really wanted to try stitching on fabric.
I'm ...

2026 SAHRR: Quilter's Choice
from Life In Pieces
The sixth and last prompt for the 2026 SAHRR comes from AnjaQuilts, "quilters choice". Well that leaves it pretty wide open doesn't it? I've had some of my block books out searching for blocks for next year's guild BOM (Yes I start early. It takes me a while to decide on a final design and pull the fabrics). I wanted something that worked with the previous blocks and carried similar elements to the Snail's Trail block from week 3.
Dutchman's Puzzle seemed to be the best option. (Texas Quilt Gal decided the same for her ...
read moreGrids and Guides stitching
from contemporary embroidery
It's a hardback notebook today, one of these (and no, I'm not on commission).
I can recommend stitching into one of these books.
There are pages of dots, graph paper and other linear patterns which make spacing so easy.
The paper is very receptive to needle and thread too.
I haven't actually worked into this one for a while and I'm tempted but I must finish some other things first.

Scrappy Sampler Sew Along: Blocks 13 and 14
from Wedding Dress Blue
This week I completed blocks 13 and 14 of the 2026 Sew Along: Scrappy Sampler.
I appreciate more and more Jessica’s videos and the two different printable patterns. You can find blocks 13 and 14 HERE. The piecing for Block 13 was new to me, but with no hurrying and better pressing techniques, I am happy with the results.
Only one more week of blocks, then on to borders. I am looking forward to it.
