What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

In the cross stitch world, projects that are carried over are called WIPS…Works in Progress. The truth of it is, many of the projects haven’t been worked on for a long time…even years. HA!! So, I thought I would do a little inventory check to see where I am in the WIP department. Honestly, I’m …

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast this morning...mainly because I didn't do much yesterday, but also, because we're heading out. I'll tell you what we're doing in a minute. I'd planned to get out my sewing machine yesterday, but then we were slow getting out the door in the morning. We didn't even get home from the grocery store until after 2:00. We still had to put away the groceries, and we had to eat lunch, and we needed naps...obviously. (Priorities, People.) So, by day's end, I hadn ...

It's been bitterly cold this week. It's great sewing weather, but not so great for much of anything else.  It certainly kept me in the sewing room.  That made last week's to do list look a little short.  

To Do List for 1/13/2026

1. 2026 Guild BOM: Finish March, start April blocks ✔

2. Kate's Choice: Assemble third row ✔

3. Magnificent Mystery: Work on Nov/Dec/Jan clues ✔

4. Wild and Goosey: Finish green blocks, start on blue ✔

Definitely a productive week!  Can I do the same this week? Maybe, maybe not. Two quilt alongs ...

 One little project is seeing progress - the Valentine mini.

After finishing the previous denim jacket (Denim Jacket Refashion) using the embroidered panels, I was charged up to do another one to put in the guild shop at our upcoming show. Working on the second denim jacket, I had a lace collar that I thought might be a nice addition. But, when I placed it on the yoke, it just didn’t fit right.

Two small lace hearts are the perfect size to adorn the front pockets.

At the bottom, I used a flat lace with a pretty edge as a replacement waistband.

Start with folding the raw edge under ...

Have you heard of the 2026 Sew Along: Scrappy Sampler with Jessica Dayon?

It has just started, and here are my first two blocks.

Thanks to Debra, who sent me an abandoned mystery sew along project a while back. The fabrics seemed perfect for this sewalong. I have added a few solids for variety, and I really like the look so far. Thanks, Debra!

I’ll keep you posted as we go. Learn more about the sewalong HERE.

While I might be inspiring you, you are inspiring me, too! I hear your words of encouragement in my head when I want to quit. And then I think about how fun it will be to share the finish with you the next day, which keeps me going. 

I think starting the blog, almost TWENTY years ago, was a very good thing. They say journaling is therapeutic, and I believe it. It just took me a bit of time to get myself organized so that I knew how to deal with the physical and mental mess around me! 

But if ...

For this week’s tutorial we are back in business with free-motion quilting! This design, Hourglass, is basically a geometric and modern version of an earlier design: Cursive L’s. The technique of these two designs is very similar, so if you got one down, you can easily do the other!

I admit I haven’t actually made a full-size quilt with Hourglass – that is on my bucket list! However, I’ve quilted a similar design on Dot n’ Dash, the featured quilt of this week. I call this ...

This morning, I had a few things I needed to do before going to moms, but Patrick was kind enough to do them for me. So, I headed to Colleen's to pick up 3 quilts that needed the bindings done. Then I stopped at Dutch Brothers for tea. Got one for mom as well. 

Arrived at moms to drop off 5 quilts that needed binding. She had 4 others that she needed to do as well. She sewed on one that was Georgie's, so she could do her own quilt. There was another one that was Georgie's ...
