What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Oh my, where to start? Betty and I went to garage sale Saturday. We normally don’t go to garage sales, but her sister texted her and said they had a lot of fabric. Well, ok. Off we went. I bought a bag full for $4.50. I failed to take a picture of it; I’ll do that later today. 

I worked on the picket fence border I want to put on my Round Robin quilt. It’s slow going. Since I decided to do scrappy, I feel like the cutting took longer than I had hoped. I have ...

I had such a busy week that I actually forgot that I had a long weekend. At first I wondered what I was going to do with it. Perhaps I should’ve planned to go away. I had two intense days of long arm quilting mastery teaching which went very well. I also gave a talk to the local Quilt group and everybody stayed awake so that’s always a good sign. It was great to see some of my quilts again which just live in a suitcase. I have been driving around with them all week because I can ...

Wow -- it's the start of another week. While I'm thoroughly enjoying each and every day, it just seems that Monday comes along very quickly!

We have no snow left. We had two days of temperatures in the low teens, and you could almost see the snow melt. It was crazy because I was thinking it was going to take forever for all this snow to melt, and then poof — it was gone. I did more cleaning up in the backyard and hope to finish this afternoon. Then we need a nice, gentle rain to clean things up. But ...

Chasing the Clouds Away by Debbie Macomber is a delightful romance novel. 

Progress is slow as I have been suffering with the nauseous side effects of a medication. I have reduced the ...

 Good Morning Quilters!

It was a very productive week here.  Last Monday, I reported that the indigo/shirting Jane Stickle quilt had 15 more pieces left to make.  Thirteen triangles and two corner kites.  

 I got my paper-piecing brain in gear……meaning I stood backward and upside down.  In that state of mind, with three seam rippers nearby, at the ready……I tackled all the thirteen remaining triangles and one of the two remaining kites.  While paper piecing, I make every mistake you can make.  

Mistakes I made this week:

1)  adding a piece too small to cover the intended ...

I picked up a jelly roll of these really sweet fabrics from a fellow quilter who was destashing and decided to make a baby quilt. The pattern is modeled after a vintage Amish quilt I had seen somewhere on the internet.

It was a quick satisfying project that took perhaps a day to put together. I particularly like the back of the quilt. Used some hoarded Denyse Schmidt fabric I had bought from Joann's. I miss that store.

 OK raise your hand if you're tired of orchard posts. LOL. I'm sorry, but this has been a big project for a couple old folks. There's a lot more to it than just putting trees in the ground. Seventeen trees are now settled into their new homes. The fig and pomegranate were leafed out when we picked them up so we'll wait until the last frost before we put them in the ground. They are

 This week was Project Quilting Challenge week, with today being the submission date. But since I submitted a quilt earlier in the week, I felt like my "off week" started early, and I have been busy relishing my time off.

I finished a bonus quilt.  I showed both of my quilt finishes in my last two posts.  Then, I worked on making progress on already started quilts. 

 I added some more patches to repair the bunk bed quilt my mother made. counted what still needs to be made for my Lupine and Laughter quilt.

This morning, we cleaned house and then left for the casino. We are going on Sunday to get the free gift of pots and pans. The pan we got last week is really nice and works great. We can use it and I do. Today we got a Dutch oven with lid. So, I'm looking forward to seeing how long these last. 

We played our usual games. But that wasn't working out. So, we went back to the game we played last week that we really liked. Right off the bat, Patrick won $862. So, we stayed and ...

At last! My SAHRR flimsy is done.  I finished it last Wednesday, but didn't have time to post it. Here it is: Round 4 was to use curves, I let the curvy lines of the flowers fabric of my Kaffe Fasset pieces stand for that. And Round 5 was to use two colors. I chose to instead use two fabrics. To tie it together, I used a fabric from Round 3 to be my Round 6.  Now I just have to
