What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, I slept in. Then I ordered backing and batting for our group. 

I played my games for a bit and then Patrick wanted to watch a movie. We watched "A Ghost in My House" ? I think that's the name. It was on Netflix. It was really good too. 

While that was going on, I decided to pull out my cross stitch. 

I was able to get it back on track. The steps are showing up again. I was able to get a lot done. I'm having some issues with that color I had trouble with before ...

(first, the dragonfly doll was made last year for PQ challenge, she guards my design wall) 

My piece for SAHRR this year is one of dragonflies, they have eyes, so I continued in my theme. 

My daughter Kalissa and her family have been fostering cats for a while now. The first cats they fostered were at their house for a very short time. Their latest foster Fern, has been at their house for a long time. She needs to find a home. Kalissa would keep her, but if she does …

I’ve designed two patterns for the Goalbound collection by Urban Essence Designs for Blank Quilting. The first is Back of the Net, using the panel blocks. It measures 44¾” x 44¾”, and the blocks finish at 9¾”. I chose simple alternate blocks to showcase more of the fabrics and continue with the theme. I like how it turned out!

I love soccer and welcomed the ...

Right now it's 33, and predicted to go all the way up to 38!

Daily reminder to myself- F*ck the Felon, F*ck ice, and F*ck anyone who supports a pedophile grifter.

Nothing done in the sewing room yesterday. I was tidying up the living room, since Steph and Dan will get in tomorrow. 

I get my sutures removed today, yay. The skin is starting to ...

Good morning, my friends. There was another pretty sunrise this morning. 

And it was a good day for sewing yesterday. The weather is a smidge cooler, and Mike went out for a couple of bike rides. I spread out on every available surface with the hope I could finish the Vintage Valentine quilt top. So, let's just see how that went.

You might remember I was planning to redo the top row of the heart. I wasn't happy with the background fabrics at the edge of the heart. It messed up the shape of the heart.

So I ...

I don’t typically try to offer anyone any information on HOW to use a longarm machine. There are so many fabulous quilters out there who teach great classes and have so much good information to share, and I don’t feel I’m up to that level. My longarm quilting advice is usually limited to helping other longarm quilters turn their hobby into a business.

However, with the last few quilts I’ve done, I’ve been mulling over the little things I do to keep the actual quilting part from stressing me out. I LOVE machine quilting, and ...

Sooner or later a squirrel was bound to cross my path. You knew that, right?  

I've often said that I get most of my quilting inspiration from the online quilting world that I follow.  This new block is a perfect example.  And yes, it's a squirrel I just HAD to play with.  Do you follow Pat Sloan?  I follow her on Facebook and also get her weekly emails.  I've done some of her sew-alongs over the years.  Sometimes they are totally free, and sometimes there is a book or pattern purchase required.    

Currently she has been doing ...

 Hello Everyone,

I'm engaged in my very own Olympics here at Wilder's Last Resort by doing some Olympic sewing.  I'm not a Quad God but my pincushion resembles a spiky crown. 

I love all your comments about being busy in retirement! I will always be busy, but I guess my point is that I see retired people constantly signing up for commitments. They head up a committee, take tons of classes, or make themselves accountable to SOMETHING or SOMEONE, and that accountability fills their day. It's almost like working again. 

You need to be busy, but if you decide to take a day off from quilting, who will care? I want to be busy, but free of deadlines and headaches! And being accountable to others. While I still have responsibilities ...

Charming moments will be seen this week as it comes closer to a day set aside for appreciating the love we have in our lives. I just adore the cardinals courting. The male will pick out the choicest tidbits and feed them to the female. This is just so sweet.

I want to get a hyacinth this week. I absolutely adore the delicate flowers and wonderful sweet scent. This idea seems fresh and new for this week, something different yet appropriate. Maybe a purple one would be nice this time.

Set a Valentine table with a Paris theme instead of ...
