Thrifted Fun, Two Christmas Slow Stitching Projects from Canadian Needle Nana

The world's oldest known bird, an Albatross named Wisdom, has returned to her southern nesting site for the 2025- 2026 breeding season. She is 75 years old at least now; this is an older video below. She had the same mate for 60 years but she is back this year with a new one. What a wonder!

And did you see there was a little fuss about the Pantone Color of the Year for 2026? It is Cloud White and some are calling it a cop out. White is a huge player in the quilting world that's for ...

i like Thursday # 482 snow, stress, holidays from Not Afraid of Color

welcome to this week's list of likes.... I like cold temps and snow, therefore we moved to Colorado... not it's about to be in the 70's in the sun for over a week here. 
In December. 5 years ago it was consistently cold and snowy from October on. 
We did have a bit of snow...
footprints in the thin layer over the golf course. That became snow lace
and annoying icy snow
and is gone less than a week later now. We MAY have to get out the AC again too. 
You know the adhesive stick figures ...

Slacking off! from South Jersey Quilter

 Only slacking off regarding the blog. I can't believe December is moving right along!


 Steph is doing the calendars for 2026. I love that we all see the same pix every month!

Sausage pizza from Balsalmo's, the best!


 


I've made about 20 holiday pillowcases, trying to use some of the Christmas fabric up. I hope to get them mailed soon. 


 Santa's cutest 4 legged helper!


 I'm moving along with the scrap afghan, it keeps me warm while I watch TV!

I hit 45 pounds down, yay me! 

Today's goal is to work on bowl ...

{I've Been Reading} The Place Where They Buried Your Heart from Michelle's Romantic Tangle

 The Place Where They Buried Your Heart by Christina Henry

I'm a sucker for haunted house books. It turns out that this one is more cosmic horror, but I didn't mind that at all. The abandoned house on Jessie Campanelli's street eats people. It takes bites out of them and sometimes spits them out. Her little brother's friend, Paul, lost an arm in there. Her brother, who she'd dared to go inside, never came out. Years pass and the neighborhood changes. Fewer people know about the family that died in the house in the 1970s ...

Festive St. Wolfgang! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!


At the heart of every Bavarian village stands the church.

The establishment of the pilgrimage church of St. Wolfgang goes back to a legend in 976. The Bishop Wolfgang of Regensburg was living as a hermit at the Falkenstein and made ​​the decision to build the first church here. The location of the building was inspired by his famous "Axe throw", considered to be a divine dispensation.

He threw the ax with the vow, that where it landed he would build a church. When he found the ax after three days he built the church at this site on a ...

Be careful what you wish for!!!! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

 Oh my— I read the comments every day, though I'm terrible at responding directly. In addition to your comments, I also get spam comments, which I delete when I see them. 

Can you believe this one? It was NOT a general comment, as most spam is -- it picked up on things I said and replied to them as if it were a real person. That's pretty freaky!




I am thrilled to report that I accomplished a lot yesterday. I have almost completed everything for one class. It was a long day, but I needed to get this done ...

I Like Thursdays: December 11, 2025 from 3 Poodles and a Nana

 


Hello and welcome to another edition of "I Like Thursdays" sponsored by LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color.


This week I appreciate that our car is fixed.  Murphy's Law dictates that when my husband mentions we should think about getting another car---the old car has problems.  We took it to our mechanic last week and it was fine for about 30 minutes and the check engine light went on again.  Took it back and it is fine now.  Whew!

I was sick this week.  I'm grateful that for once I could just focus on geting better.  My husband ...

One more pillowcase from My Sewing Room

 

The solar system pillowcase is finished and in a Christmas stocking.  Now I just have one left to finish for the grandkids. 

Tomorrow morning, the 4th clue will be posted for Bonnie Hunter's mystery.  I've been using her first clues to use up a lot of scraps of light blue, pink, purple and neutrals.  Wonder which of those colors we'll play with next.

Christmas tablerunner from Happy Cottage Quilter

 My daughter asked me to make a Christmas table runner for her. She picked out the fabric and I decided I did not want to cut up the pretty fabric. 

This is the first project I have finished since hurting my back. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Finishes.............. from Exuberant Color


Since this quilt is made with Kaffe collective fabrics, that is where I looked for the binding choice.  This one is a Brandon Mably design.





There are 3 fabrics for the backing, all leftover strips from previous quilt backs.  This is the second quilt recently that has used those strips as backs so the pile of them is getting smaller.








I'll get this quilt photographed today and share the details tomorrow.

The repairman yesterday confirmed that it is probably the igniter on the oven but he didn't have the right model with him so the part is being ...

Beginnerscursus 2026 from Supergoof Quilts

 


Hoeveel beginners heeft Janny de afgelopen 5 jaar in de Supergoof Quiltwinkel een geweldige quiltbasis gegeven voor de rest van hun quiltcarrière?


Ik ben de tel inmiddels kwijt, 
maar het zijn er veel.


Het zijn quilters die blij worden van lapjes, 
ieder met een uniek lapjes dna,
met zelfvertrouwen,
en als ze iets niet begrijpen dan vragen ze het gewoon.

Sommige doen mee met de vele workshops in de Supergoof Quiltwinkel,
andere zijn trouwe stamgasten van de woensdagmorgen en de donderdagavondbee .
En ja,
er zijn ook quilters die overal aan mee doen,...

En er zijn quilters,
die dat niet doen ...

Final Quilt Club Meeting of the Year from Romany Quilting

 I had to make sure I took everything required for our final quilt club meeting of the year.  Into my bag went a wrapped fat quarter, batik blocks stitched for the block draw, an item for the food bank, and something for show and tell.  I hoped I had remembered everything.  We were welcomed to the hall with a glass of bubbly grape juice, that was a nice touch.  There was a basket for the fat quarters, and a box for donations for the food bank.  Raffle tickets were purchased, and our batik blocks were handed over and hung on ...

Be Careful! from Quarter-Inch Capers

As I get older, I am more careful about falling. I really don’t need to fall and break anything. I was rushing around the house yesterday getting ready to leave, and oh boy! I felt my right foot start to slip. I was able to shift my weight and regain my balance, but I thought for a second I was going to crash. The culprit was a piece of tulle that was on the floor. 


The pale yellow color blended in the floor and I didn’t see it. I haven’t used tulle in a few weeks, and ...

Sampler quilt from Stitching Matters

The second of the four quilts received from the countryside, and this one was luckily not basted or ditch-stitched.  I was able to load and have fun with it.  It has lots of spaces for me to do different motifs, and being a sampler without too many blocks repeated, there are no rules as to what to do in certain spaces.

Tried To Go To The Casino - Flooding! from Quilting My Way

Today, we woke with little flooding in our area. But Centralia got more last night. They are expecting more this evening as well. We are not getting the rain they are up north, but we do have rivers going over the banks. 

Patrick had his dental appointment today at 1 pm. We went there. I played my games in the car waiting on him. Then we headed to the casino, since Facebook stated it was open. As we were arriving, all the cars were leaving. We asked the attendant what was up and he said the water was coming over ...

Three Months Out… from Jo's Country Junction

As of yesterday, I am three months out from major back surgery. So how am I doing? Well…I started physical therapy because of my request about 6 weeks ago. I’ve been to PT three times and was told that I will likely be released the next time I go. That doesn’t mean I’m done. My …
