Let your gut instinct be your quilting teacher and don't forget to experiment! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Goals are such a wonderful thing or not! I'm using BMI as a relative indicator, rather than fixating on my weight. Let's just say that I want to convert some fat to muscle or lose it altogether. While I can use my waistband as an indicator, I prefer to use BMI. I like goal-setting and numbers. 

The big reason for this is the creep! You know— you know your weight was X ten years ago, and now it's X PLUS. I don't like the plus, but I also know that I might gain as I get ...

Week 150 Photo Challenge: Night Photography After the Rain from Life In Pieces

It's been almost 2 months since my last photo challenge post.  The new photo card prompts are very specific and some of them have been challenging to pull off as they require very specific conditions.  The photo card for week 150 was one of those. 





We pulled this card back in mid November and then proceeded to have the driest last two months of the year ever in Oklahoma.  My Girl also struggled. Houston is well known for it's very localized pop up showers.  There was rain, but it was never in her part of town when she ...

Alternate block auditions................. from Exuberant Color


The blocks I showed yesterday could be used with alternate blocks of one fabric, so I was searching through my stash yesterday.  Fabric #1:  This is a cute little kid print and I have enough to use on the back too.




Fabric #2:  This animal fabric would work.  I have just one yard of it so I would have to look for a different backing.







Fabric #3: I realized as I got to this fabric that I should turn the bright blocks one turn so the narrow edge is going across the quilt and the longer edge is going down ...

Blue for January, and Fred Dagg from Romany Quilting

 Blue is the colour chosen for January for those of us taking part in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC).  As I've got a multitude of UFOs from taking part in previous years RSC I was in two minds whether to start any new blocks this year or not.  But we all know how that turned out, I just couldn't help myself.  I had seen a scrappy quilt top on Lou's blog, and thought, why not.  Just a simple square, bordered on two sides, so it makes a zig zag line when the blocks are stitched together.  Thanks ...

Finding God in the Psalms: Psalm 2, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer



 

Hello There,
Thank you for stopping by!    I've enjoyed visiting your blogs and catching up with your lives.  
This week we've been in quarantine as a few family members have COVID.  Thankfully, by the grace of God, I'm healthy.  We've sectioned off the house and I've actually enjoyed living in my bedroom by creating a mini office, a small library and a hand sewing area. Thankfully, my family members have turned the corner and are slowly improving.  

As I shared last week, the post- holiday grief very much surprised me as I mourned my precious ...

FALL BREEZE KINDA WAS A BREEZE from Kwilty Pleasures

This was a quilt my friend Kathy Guenther made 
and I fell in love with it.
Yes, I'll make it too.  

I've always wanted a vibrant fall quilt.
I love the fall colors, and I love GRUNGE fabrics.
Seemed like perfect choice for...
FALL BREEZE

I drug my feet on making this one.
I was leery of all the HST.
It took a while to cut, bag and label all the
pieces and then it SAT for about a year.



I like to use a KEY card to label my fabrics
and make sure my colors will fit ...

Finding God in the Psalms: Psalm 1, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

 

Hello There,
Happy New Year!  Thank you for stopping by! I hope you were filled with joy, peace and love this holiday season.  Ours were nice as we spent time with the grandkids and family.  The days after Christmas caught me by surprise as a deep grief engulfed me.   Blogging was out of the question.  BUT, my dear friends, God comforted me with this verse from Psalm 34:
18The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and 
saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Joy of joys! This will be my verse for 2026.  (If you're interested in further ...

Time For Sewing from Quilting My Way

Patrick went golfing and I went downstairs to work on the quilt.

I thought I might be able to get it done today, but then I realized when my stomach decided to act up, I couldn't stay down there to finish it. But I did get a bit done. I should be able to finish it tomorrow. Then I will think about doing another one. I won't have 2 done for Colleen by Monday, but we did get 2 quilt tops from Val to get ready for quilting. 

The sides are sewn on it. I just realized I ...

What I’m Reading: A Well Behaved Woman from Jo's Country Junction

What We’re Working On from Eagle's Wings Quilts

 We had a great day yesterday at our Prayers and Squares group. One of our summer ladies is up for a couple of weeks and it was lovely to see her. Marg’s sampler is finished and it has the honour of being the first quilt of the lear to be given out. Pat has been working on a scrappy strip quilt lately. She is hiding behind the pieces. Back in the summer we started a member’s sampler where each of us took some of the focus fabric and the went to the Quilters Cache website and picked a ...

2025 Quilt Round Up from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

 Wow! THAT year sure flew by! I spent the year working on projects on our mountain property with DH and sneaking in time to sew as time allowed. I always have multiple projects going at once. I'm always pulling fabric for one project, cutting another, piecing a third, and binding a fourth. That process works well for me and it allowed me to finish 19 quilts this year. That's a record
