Week 19 of 2026 from Thread Head

These past two weeks I have been sewing clothes using the Lutterloh system (the weather has been way below normal, so I haven't been out gardening) -

First a tank top dress for summer.

Pattern #236 from the Spring 2026 supplement #340.

I lengthen the dress and added pockets in the side seam (made with a cotton/spandex knit).

I made a sports bra, and a couple pairs of panties from the leftover fabric.

The sports bra is pattern #37 from the Fall 2025 supplement #338 (the panties are from a self drafted pattern from a Craftsy class).

A stretch ...

JOYFUL JOURNEY from Q-BITS

Making quilts has always been a joyful journey for me over eight decades. Yes, I have been quilting a long time! You can't imagine the amount of scraps (or quilts) I have.

What has always made it so enjoyable for me is the challenge of making the project from start to finish. I usually start from an idea or inspiration and a piece of graph paper; drawing the design out; figuring yardages and patterns; choosing colors/fabrics; then making a test block. The sewing together, then for me, is the easy part. Once the top is completed, then I ...

Oh Scrap! : From the Scrap Bin from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

*** I just realized today is not Saturday! Oh Scrap!***

Recently, we finished some quilts made from scraps and orphan blocks we received.

A lot of our scraps get sent to Marci in Idaho and she turns them into scrappy blocks. We used the 10" string blocks to make this scrappy quilt. I think Marcia sewed up these blocks into a quilt top at or last sew day. It is nice because you really don't need a design wall to put these together.

Over a year ago, someone sent us a bunch of HSTs along with some cut squares and ...

Mother's Day ~ Sew & Tell - 5/11/26 from Melva Loves Scraps

Thanks for stopping by! I'll start off by saying Happy Mother's Day to all the moms -- wannabe moms, birth moms, stepmoms, bonus moms, adoptive moms, mentor moms and spiritual moms. And especially to my friends for whom this holiday will be hard. Friends who will be standing by gravesites this Mother’s Day. Friends whose moms haven’t been a part of their lives in many years. And those who have challenging relationships with their moms who try to navigate Mother’s Day with grace but some necessary distance.

I hope that your day was blessed. I'm ...

Who wants a Fort? from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

Well ..... these two little guys do! That is why we make quilts! To sleep under and to build a fort for playing. Why not? LOL

Cherish your day, cherish your life, cherish your freedom and cherish your country! My country will always, always be CANADA!

Elbows up, eh!

Psalm 11: Faith Over Fear, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, and Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

I hope you've had a fabulous week! Happy Mothers' Day to all who are a mom in once capacity or another. For some, this day is bittersweet. To you, whoever you are, hugs of comefort and understanding.

Our weather has been strange, to say the least. Last month we were in the 90's and Thursday it was so crisp we needed jackets and blankets to watch our grandson's baseball game! Our dry desert welcomed almost 24 hours of intermittent rain that Thursday and Friday.

My sewing room is coming along nicely. I'm hoping to ...

Slow Sunday Stitching from Eagle's Wings Quilts

The chipmunk for the Year in the Woods project is finished and is so cute. I still have the flowers and leaves that surround it to finish up and then I can move on to the next animal, the Skunk. Depending on the amount of stitching time I manage this week, this piece just might be done by this time next week. I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching.

Big Quilt, Little Quilt from ... Cat Patches

It was a good quilting day yesterday. Of course, I didn't get to the quilting right away. First, I finished stitching the first Santa from the Santa Quartet. With him finished, I moved my hoop to the right.

When I finished with the stitching, I took a little walk around outside. The bird feeders needed filling, and I needed to check the watering. And wow...look at this lithodora. So pretty.

Here's our red azalea.

The fourth of five rhododendrons is starting to bloom. We have another dark purple one that is still in tight buds.

I noticed ...

Saturday Sparks Postponed from Pieced Pastimes

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the late notice, but I won't be posting the party this week. It's been a bit crazy around here lately. I will resume the party next week.

All my best,

A Screwdriver and a Spoon from The Quilt Quine

It was a short, quick week at work and varied with an overlocker lesson, a videography tutorial, customer quilts and everything in between.

In my garden a naughty dog made a wee hole in the greenhouse playing footie and I planted a row of hollyhocks on the other side of my rotting fence. My trowel broke in the stony ground so I had to resort to using a screwdriver and a spoon. I was advised that slugs might enjoy my new plants so I put pot scourers around them to put them off. Hopefully my neighbourhood hedgehog will eat all ...

The start of a new piece.... from contemporary embroidery

Petals, patchwork, Liberty print fabric.

I bought this fabric a couple of weeks ago when I was in London.

I've been itching to use it ever since.

That always happens with new stuff despite the huge pile I have which is 'in progress'.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one?

There is a short video here, a show and tell of all my London embroidery related purchases.

A puzzling day!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Happy Mother's Day

I must say, it feels great to get back to sewing, and, well, I just picked a "random" project to work on. Actually, it's on my Visual To-Do list under UFO, so I'm allowed to work on it! I had picked five projects under the UFO category, and my plan is to finish them all this year. They are in various states of completion.

When I first started the sew-along quilts, in year two (2004), we did something different. Instead of choosing one large quilt, we picked two small quilts from a four-season collection ...

In the Art Room from Gene Black an Alabama Artist

There are lots of types of art. One that I often participate in is sewing and quilting.

In honor of Mother's Day, I am repeating an old post - or at least part of it. Mom's Birthday is in May so even though this talks about her birthday, It was also close to Mother's Day.

Yesterday I stopped by Mom's house, as I usually do after work. She wanted to go get some takeout, so we did. We ate and talked. Mom has a birthday coming up, so I asked what she wants for her birthday. "I ...

Happy Mother's Day! from The Cozy Quilter

My daughter was here for the past week and she and Finn went home yesterday. It was nice to have her here. Finn was very excited to see her. He loves it when all of us are together. I did a little bit of cross stitch this past week, but no machine sewing. I finished the framing stitches and added more sky stitches as well. I hope to do more today.

My daughter worked on her crochet while she was here, adding this pretty periwinkle lace border. If you look at the close up, you can see flowers in it ...

Sunday chat – Baking, Gardening, Quilting from From My Carolina Home

The mountain laurel is in bloom now, and we have two large shrubs on our property. One is behind the house, the other on the edge of the meadow. I love these pink-tinged flowers with the red lines radiating from the center.

My bargain New Guinea impatiens have doubled in size and are blooming well. They seem to be very happy here. I really like the variegated coloring on the flowers.

My other bargain plant is a verbena. It also seems to be coming back well, getting larger and now sporting several blooms along with a bunch of buds for ...

Sunday Stash May 10, 2026 from Quilt Paint Create

Happy Mother’s Day! Do something nice for yourself today.

No change in the numbers.

I finally came up with a quilting plan for K’s quilt. I’m about half way through the quilting. I’d love to get the quilt finished this week. I don’t like that I have to keep it a secret.

I’m also looking forward to working on other projects and starting the paint chip challenge. As a reminder, this is my paint chip.

In addition to the beach runner, I also started working on this UFO from a class several years ago ...

Stitching Stuff: Week 19 of 2026 from Life In Pieces

Happy Mother's Day. My kiddo didn't know what to get me, so I told her she could take me out to lunch during my next visit. We had planned to spend the holiday with my mother, but she's not feeling great, so we are targeting Memorial weekend to get the family together. My plans are to spend the day in the sewing room, one of my favorite gifts of all time.

It's been an up and down week. My back is slowly getting better. Bending is still a problem, but it's gotten less painful. We ...
