Almost there........................ from Exuberant Color

I sewed until 10 last night and got this far. I thought I was going to have to add a piece at the right side of the bottom row, but now it looks like I might need to trim it off instead. Either that or trim the end of the 6" block section. I'll make that decision today. The camera is making the light fabrics a little too light here. I hope I can get a photo with true color later today.

I noticed the first bloom on my cactus yesterday morning but it was overcast outside and I ...

Stitching News from Angie Quilts

Good Grief, November! So many beautiful colours surrounding us as the nights draw in. I mean in nature, of course. As a quilter, my life is full of colour, permanently!

My November calendar quilt is out.

From the book Art to Heart - Count On It

Di made these Halloween gifting pots for two favourite little humans. They will match the Halloween cushions she recently finished. I'm a bit behind with posting pictures, these were finished in good time for gifting, with the cushions. Toot toot toot Di, fabulous and finished.

Fancy Four Patch Quilt – alle HSTs fertig, aber welches Layout? from Quilt Collection M.

Inzwischen habe ich weiter an dem Fancy Four Patch Quilt gearbeitet. Es ging immer noch um die HSTs. Ich brauche für insgesamt 111 Blöcke je 10 HSTs. Das sind verflixt viele! Und es bedeutet Trimming, Trimming, Trimming. Puh!

Langsam aber sicher habe ich mich vorgearbeitet. Ich wollte diese kleinen futzeligen Teile bis zu dem MCQ-Quilt-Wochenende fertig haben. Diese elende Trimmerei wollte ich lieber zuhause an meinem hohen rückenfreundlichen Schneidetisch erledigen.

Und ich habe es geschafft: für die letzten Blöcke liegen die HSTs bereit. Jetzt muss ich damit nur noch ca 60 Nine Patches nähen.

Ich habe erneut mein Layout angeschaut ...

Back to Work from Quarter-Inch Capers

I had gotten a little behind on my quilting work while I was dealing with the church festival, doctor appointments, and multiple other things. I have been trying to get caught up on my customer commitments amd make some progress. I got two done for Marian. This one was a challenge her guild did where they are given a piece of fabric and have to make a quilt with it.

The second one is a mystery quilt her guild did.

It’s an interesting pattern; I don’t think I have seen it before. The back is a darker shade ...

Sew Wot Tuesday from Romany Quilting

There was a last minute change the day before our Sew Wot Tuesday, and hostess Sandra was unwell. No problem, Jude put her hand up to host, and several of us offered to "bring a plate" to help with morning tea. I got up early to make some Cheese Puffs to take along, these are not the sort of item which can be made a day ahead. It turned out to be quite a drizzly morning, but not at all cold, very mild in fact.

I had a bit of trouble opening the heavy wooden gate when I arrived, just ...

The Usual Monday from Quilting My Way

This morning, Patrick was up and out the door to golf. First time in about 3 months. He made enough noise this morning to wake the dead.

I was up shortly after he left. I needed to get moving. Had breakfast and then was out the door. I got my tea on the way to Georgie's. Funny too because I didn't need to stop anywhere beforehand.

I arrived after Sandy. It was just the 4 of us again. I had to leave around 11 to meet up with my PT, Bob, as he had some things he asked ...

Morocco inspiration! from With Strings Attached

Walls. Floors. Textiles. Exteriors. Interiors. I took pictures of all of them.

Moroccan design inspired Bonnie Hunter, too. She announced the 2026 Quiltville mystery, Star of Maghrib. Count me in!! (Morocco is "al-Maghrib," Arabic for "the west," because it was the western edge of the known world for centuries.)

Bonnie's palette is red, green, blue, and neutral. I'm going to use the colors in the ceramic plate I got in Fez: orangey-red and yellow-green.

Back to some of the dozens of photos I took!

See the butterflies?

Painted ceiling

Definitely a quilt pattern

An Everything Day from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Well, my extra hour in the day stretched to accommodate all my favorite activities: Cats, Gardening, Quilting, Cooking, and Photography. So let's just see where it all began.

In the cooking category, I baked a batch of Chocolate and Pistachio Biscotti. I've made these before, and they're supposed to be dipped in more chocolate. We liked them as is, and so I bagged the whole chocolate dip at the end. These will be nice with our morning coffee.

Biscotti isn't hard to make, but it is a time-consuming process.

October Stash Report and Goals Update from The Colorful Fabricholic

October was a busy month. Some of what I worked on was behind the scenes, productive but not featured on the blog, including prep for a quilt show entry. Other projects were also moved along nicely: The "found" UFO was completed and donated. Another UFO was quilted. The Checkered Garden blocks have become a flimsy, and I'm making progress on several other quilting or piecing projects.

The "Found" UFU

The other project that was quilted, Cut and Shuffle Leftovers, no new photo yet

The Checkered Garden top turned out nice; it's ready for me to find a backing ...

Tropical Twist Through The Weekend! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!

How do we unwind at the end of a workshop day?

Now that porch season is behind us and we enter November, you'll find close to half of the retreat relaxing in the Hen Den!

It's not cold enough to have that gas stove blasting, but it's still cozy and a great place to gather.

It's the perfect place for reading, catching up on the socials on your phone, doing a bit of binding or embroidery, or just sitting and chatting without the hum of machines as your background soundtrack.

Design Wall Monday - November 2, 2026 from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

Good Morning Quilters!

Lots of progress this week. Most of my quilting projects seem to go very well at first, then slog around for a while in the middle, and then pick up near the end. Or at least it seems that way. Here is what I mean.

The Jane Austen Coverlet project is now all back on the design wall. I have only one more row to sew the sashing pieces between each square on, and only five more long strips of sashing to put between rows. And then the center part will be ready for the borders. Here ...

The Quilting Part from Life In Pieces

The first day of November was overcast and chilly. Not cold, just chilly enough to want a sweater most of the morning. Today looks to be much the same, though based on the forecast we have a chance of severe storms this evening. Definitely a day to get my sewing machine time in during the afternoon.

I spent part of my sewing time yesterday getting end of the month photos of where all my projects are. I was finally able to get a full on shot of the completely quilted Glowing Hearts (Sandra Walker).

I haven't taken the time ...

Weekly update: accomplishments and plans from With Strings Attached

See the previous post for designs from Morocco and the announcement of the Quiltville mystery.

Late bloomers at Spring Bluff and Van Patten Woods forest preserves this weekend. Center: oak trees are the gnarliest.

I was sixth in line at 10:00 a.m. Saturday when the thrift shop opened. My half-off coupon was in hand and I scooped up nearly all the Aurifil thread. (There was a box with ziploc bags with partially-used spools and cones. I left those.) Mind you, that's half off the thrift shop price which was already astoundingly less than retail.

What will I ...

Who created the first fabric pre-cuts? from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Some of you have been busy bees - even with knee and other surgeries!! It's great to get things done, and Torry seems to be accomplishing a lot in small leaps and bounds! All progress is progress!!!! We must celebrate the small steps as well as the big ones!!

I'm having so much fun going through these magazines that I want to make sure I document all the cool stuff I spotted. Once I get past the next couple of issues (pre-2000), I'm sure I won't need to document so much because it's all "recent" at ...
