HAPPY THANKSGIVING! from Quilting My Way

 Today we were taking it slow. We had to leave by noon to Vancouver. We actually got moving around 11:30 am. 

The traffic wasn't bad. It could have been worse. We didn't see a lot of trucks out there. So, I think that helped the traffic a bit. 

We arrived around 12:30 pm. They were getting things ready. Had a few things in the oven warming. My brother smoked the turkey, and it was resting. Mom didn't look good at all. We were told she was coughing up blood. Nate told her to take it ...

FFO Self Portrait from Gene Black an Alabama Artist

Nicole at  DVArtist has challenged readers to create a self portrait. While I didn’t create a new one, I am sharing a few that I have created in the past. 


My first was a stamp (and my apologies, I don’t have the original photo)


This is the actual stamp, when stamped, it is a mirror image
While I was pleased with this one, I knew I could do better.
So a second stamp was made using a different photo 
Much better!
This was used as the basis of a couple of embroideries that I digitized for my embroidery ...

More quilted from Gayle Bong Quilts Too

 Around mid September I fell and hurt my back and twisted my knee. I was well enough to enjoy retreat but the ride there and back and time spent sitting and sewing proved too much for me. Dr thinks I herniated a disc again. Maybe just major sciatica the last month. Too painfull to sew much at all. But it's healed a bit now so I'm enjoying short stints again. 

I was more comfortable standing so got a few more quilted with the longarm. I'll see what I took pictures of. 


This top was from earlier this ...

Round Robin Reveal from The Cozy Quilter

Back in the Spring, I asked three quilting friends if they would like to participate in a Round Robin project with me.  They all said yes!  Each of us provided a block and a bag or bin of fabrics that we wanted used in our quilt.  We also provided some brief instructions regarding finished size, etc.  Today, we got together at Carol's house for tea, snacks and the big reveal. 

This is Katharine.  She wanted a table runner for a piece of furniture in her house.  The colours she chose came from some figurines that are to be displayed ...

Happy Thanksgiving! from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. There's much to do today, and so I'm keeping today's post short. Yesterday found me dragging my feet every step of the way. It seems the more there is to do, the less inclined I am to even start. I spent longer than usual on my embroidery. It was an excellent procrastination stragegy. This is Tiny Treasure #22. This one is done with stem stitch, stem fill, feather stitch, straight stitch, and a French knot.


From there, I got busy making the sweet potatoes for today's dinner. I had a few other ...

Down the rabbit hole - many times today! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Oh my-- I have a few things to learn about knitting, but that's OK. What I noticed was the number of large loose sweaters in the store on Salt Spring. Oversized chunk sweaters are back!

My hands will get used to it! 

OK -- here's a hilarious story about knitting sweaters. When I was young -- very young, OK, young, in my late teens, I knit a sweater for my then boyfriend, who was a large guy, so it took a lot of knitting. I forgot about that sweater. He tracked me down one day a couple of years ago ...

Flannel............. from Exuberant Color




Standing at the design wall didn't sound appealing to me yesterday so I got 2 boxes of flannel pieces off a shelf in my studio.


I decided bullseye blocks was a nice mindless project.  They will probably be made into a baby quilt.



They haven't had their final press yet so they look a little crooked.  Some of them used a variety of short pieces and others were just 3 fabrics for the whole block.


I still have tomatoes ripening in the garage.  A lot of them are golf ball size or smaller but they taste great, better ...

A QUILT FOR LARESSA from Kwilty Pleasures

Laressa lives in Myrtle Beach and has always helped me
with my resort reservations when I visit Eric
She also looks after him and treats him like one of her own.

Last Christmas when I visited, she said, I have a wish
for next Christmas.  I’d love a quilt.
And so that wish is being granted. 

I had some batiks in beachy colors
that were perfect for her quilt.



A quick and easy patter
and this one was finished in no time.

I even had enough batiks for a backing
and binding.


For this one I sewed the binding ...

Four-at-a-time half hourglass blocks from Quilts and More - Home Made Creations

 I've already posted how to make quick hour glass blocks here.  These are great, but if you are trying to nest seams, or are using more than 2 colours, that process results in blocks which are mirror images and/or with seams that spin in opposite directions. I recently came across a method for making 4-at-a-time half-hourglass blocks, which are all identical, removing the mirror image problem. This process will let you make identical blocks, with up to 4 different colours, with no worries about reversed blocks.

 First, cut 4 squares of fabric - one for each quadrant of your ...

Good morning, friends!

The house is still quiet as I write this - though there is a load of laundry running so I can finish my packing for tomorrow's flights to New York in preparation of our Germany/Austria adventure ahead.

Baking will happen as soon as this posts.  I'm responsible for the creamed corn corn bread and Dave's gluten free pumpkin custard.

Dinner is at 3pm at Jeff's so we'll be there by 2pm. That gives me time to get this out to you!

Make & Take Monthly Membership from Patchwork Posse

A fun new way to sew with me each month.

I’ve been hinting that something new was coming… and today I finally get to share it with you!

Say hello to Make & Take Monthly — a simple, stash-friendly membership where you get one fun sewing project every month, complete with a printable PDF and a step-by-step video. Nothing overwhelming. Nothing complicated. Just something cute you can make in an afternoon.

Text reads "Make and Take Monthly Membership" above an illustration of a curved black thread with a gold needle. Below is the phrase, "Let's make something together." The background is off-white and textured.

This idea has been on my mind for years.
I love big quilt projects (and we’ll keep doing those!), but sometimes you just want a small win… something you ...

Happy Thanksgiving Day! from From My Carolina Home

This is my favorite holiday of the year. I always wake up with much anticipation for the day. I’ll enjoy my morning coffee while watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, along with some other parades that are being shown on CNN. I have been spending the holiday morning doing this for many years. I did a post on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and some of its history HERE, if you’d like to see that. I’ve included some photos from their press packets of bygone years, and some details about the 1947 version of Miracle ...
