What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 I’m up early this morning, so I thought I’d do my post for Slow Stitching since I’m up, rather than waiting till later this afternoon after we get home from church. The chipmunk for the Year in the Woods is finished. And better yet, I’ve gotten all of the gridding for the next section done as well and all of the flosses wound onto bobbins. I can now start on the Skunk. I hope this is as close as I ever get to one of those critters. Here are the finished Bear and Chipmunk together. I ...

 I have had a stack of RWB blocks sitting next to my sewing machine for weeks.  I finally had a chance this week to turn them into a quilt top.

These aren't 'new', in fact some of them are positively ancient!

I see I am not the only one who pushes the long arm to the limits! Yes—you can get away with minimal excess on the backing, BUT only if it is your quilt and you are the operator!

And sometimes things happen, like when the pin (I no longer use clamps) that holds the elastic grip on the side gets caught on the machine bed. I had to do a wee bit of ripping yesterday. But not a big deal because I was standing there and ...

Looking out the window one morning this past week, I spotted a deer crossing the driveway. This one is obviously pregnant, so I am looking forward to seeing a little spotted fawn in a few weeks.

Sitting on the veranda one day, I was enjoying the cool mountain air, reading a book while sitting in one of the rocking chairs. I almost missed the wild turkey mom crossing the meadow towards the driveway with 7 baby turkeys. I quickly jumped up to get the camera with a long lens, and waited for her to bring them out of the azaleas ...

When my numbers change, they change big.

I finished K’s quilt this week.  I can’t post pictures until she sees it at the end of the month.  No big usage because a lot of the fabric in the top was hers.

Yesterday was my Guild’s annual fabric sale.  I needed to replenish light fabrics in blue, green and yellow.  I also looked for binding for the beach runner and border fabric for a UFO.  I found fabrics for both and a whole lot more.
