Winter weather Sunday from South Jersey Quilter

Rain, sleet, snow? Yes to all the above yesterday. Today no sleet (so far) but rain and snow all day. So we are staying in. 

Yesterday my back hurt, so I alternated ibuprofen and tylenol, and took up residence on the couch, with the snake and the TV. I'm catching up on last season's Rookie on hulu, after our DVR deleted it last year.


  Over the course of the day I added 28 rows, so up til the end of March, using the high temps of the days. 

I got into the sewing room Friday and set up ...

Is it true? from Wonkyworld

Is it true? Has it really been over two years since I wrote a blog post? My, how time flies! I'm still out here and still very much enjoying the journey of collecting quilts, but in recent years my focus has shifted from collecting to finding new homes for many of the quilts in the collection. My wife Linda and I still maintain a stellar collection of quilts, and I can say with confidence the quilts are some of the finest and most interesting quilts ever made. We also have many that are favorites, things we can't quite ...

Oh Scrap! : 2.5" Strips from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

The flannel scraps have been put away for a bit.  I have another project I need to get working on.



We have a number of patriotic scraps that need some attention.  I have been busy cutting them into 2.5" strips.  I am also including any red, blue and white prints I have in our scrap storage.



I am also chopping them up into 11" long pieces.  I will let you guys know soon what we are using these for.  I just need to get a few more details before I make an announcement.  I also need to make a ...

It's the small things that make a difference from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Oh crap --- it's likely that I messed up the links again. I'll repost the link for that video on how learning a second language can save your life. Please tell me that it is only some links, not all!!!

Here is the missing link from yesterday. 

I cannot tell you how happy I am these days! Getting those niggling little UFOs done does way more for my happiness level than money or happy pills ever could. And I've taught (forced) myself to be persistent and focused. And get the darn thing DONE - don't just move it ...

Sunday Chat – Snow Day from From My Carolina Home

This week, I’ve been working on some small projects, and was really looking forward to the guild meeting on Thursday. Unfortunately, this is what I awoke to that morning. It wasn’t much, maybe a half-inch, but enough to keep me from backing the car down that hill. At dawn, the golden light glows behind the mountains on the east side. The snow was continuing to fall briskly.

It stopped later, with under an inch total of the pristine beauty. Still, it was enough to keep me home, so I missed the guild meeting. Sadly, I missed seeing friends ...

Sunday Stash January 18, 2026 from Quilt Paint Create

No fabric in this week.

I finished Winter Tree, my art quilt group’s January challenge.

I talked about the idea and the construction in the last two posts.  From there, I added beads to suggest snowflakes and used a dark binding as a frame.  I also added a fence made from railroad yarn that I painted white and then gray.  The original yarn was too bright and didn’t fit the color scheme.  The yarn is so delicate I hand stitched it down.  The quilt is about 11″ x 13”.

This quilt was my January OMG and the first ...

First Stitching News 2026! from Angie Quilts

Well, here we go. It looks like this year will also be racing by, must be my age, Ha! January has kept me busy. Awful, wintry weather hasn't stopped my shop from opening as normal, mostly because I can walk there but I did have to wear my good wellie boots. I didn't, and wouldn't have, driven the journey, way too much ice and snow for my safety! I find it a bit scary to be honest.
Anyhow, it's all gone now, we're back to grey gloom. Perfect for sewing it seems!

Stitching Stuff: Week 3 of 2026 from Life In Pieces



January is more than half over. But it doesn't seem to be going as quickly as it went last year. I like a slow start to the year.  We've not had snow or ice, but it's been cold with a biting wind.  Definitely makes you want to stay home and just sew.  Which is such a hardship, right?  The weather has definitely been more conductive to more sewing time.

Getting A Few Things Ready from Quilting My Way

 This morning, Patrick was up early. I'm betting it's because he gets up early for golfing and now it's hard to break the habit. 

I heated up downstairs, thinking I would go down there. I played on my tablet for a while and Patrick watched his western shows. 


I cut and got pillowcases ready to be sewn. We will be doing them on Wednesday. I will need to do a few more. It was fun getting fabrics that will work better than the fabrics we were getting. 


After putting pillowcases together, and calling it done, Patrick asked ...

What I’m Making: Instant Pot Pulled Pork from Jo's Country Junction

When we went to Dubuque to the waterpark, I was scrolling through my phone before bed, and I saw that the Hyvee grocery store was having a weekend sale. They listed pork shoulder roast for only $1.77 a pound. I still feed a lot of people and need meat to do that. I wasn’t really …

Finally Finished 2026 - first quilt finish of the year from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

It's a digitizing class exercise!

Oh, I was a happy girl last Sunday. I watched a couple of Lisa Shaw's videos about creating motif fills and decided I really didn't need to do it on this particular quilt. I wanted to, and I want to on other quilts, but this one will reside on the top of our dining table and it doesn't need the foo-foo. I managed to finish digitizing the center design as well as the edge-to-edge design. 

For background, four years ago I signed up for Sarah Vedeler’s Master Digitizing course. I ...

New Block Drive! from Kat & Cat Quilts

 Yes, I know it's well overdue, but at long last I have a new block drive for Covered in Love.  I really like this block and Claudia did a great tutorial on her blog

Visit Claudia's blog to find the fabric requirements and the link to the tutorial. This makes a 12" finished (12.5" unfinished) block. You'll need 4 different fabrics, but not very much of each one, so it should make a good scrap buster, too. 

Our color scheme for this block drive is warm colors and light neutrals. So that means reds, oranges, yellows ...

Psalm 3, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

 

Hello There,
Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate your time and visit!  This week my son had the terrible after-COVID-migraines.   Last night he showed signs of improvement and even asked for pizza!  I think we may start with homemade chicken soup.  LOL! 

So it’s been a pretty quiet week around here—lots of reading, sewing, and playing my Township game. I definitely set a timer, because that game can be surprisingly time-consuming. My grandchildren are thrilled that I’ve finally joined them in an online game, and they’ve been patiently—and very gently—showing me the ropes ...

Another Nice Day from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Despite the rain early on, we've hit the jackpot in the Escondido weather department. We're expecting a high of 81 degrees today, and the warm weather will continue through next week. 

We had a lunch date with our friends yesterday. We tried out a new-to-us BBQ restaurant, and the food was delicious. When we left the kitties, they were acting as bookends.


We've been on the hunt for some wheatgrass for them. We'd visited a Sprouts and a PetSmart the day before. No luck. Then, we found plenty at an Albertson's ...
