What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I keep saying I am going to finish what I started and what I have purchased.  One of my goals is to finish all the monthly kits I purchase in this barn quilt series.  Since the Project Quilting theme was clean slate with this Hue of Pantone white…. Well I had a reason to force myself to start and finish the kit this week!

I think I finished stitching this on Christmas Day.  

It's a lot of stitching and worked with 3 strands on 25 ct Lugana over 2.  I love stitching fruit designs because their so colorful!

And this is my latest design project.  Bible Bookmarks:

 

 I expect to have these at Kitty And Me on Etsy around the end of the month.

Good morning, my friends. It was a good day for sewing yesterday. Mike was out bike-riding, and I had the place to myself. I could spread out at will. Mike has no problem with me taking over virtually every surface in the RV, but I'm more comfortable when I can tell myself I'm not inconveniencing anyone. So...wanna see what I did?

I started here with these sections of the stars from my previous day of sewing. The first step was to lay them out as they would be sewn together.

 It’s our grand daughter’s birthday party day today, so this is going to be a quick post. I have cup cakes to bake and decorate. I have made some more progress on the Raccoon from the Year in the Woods stitchery group. The top of his back is almost finished. I will continue to add to it as time allows. I’ll link up to Kathy’s   Slow Sunday Stitching and then get to those cup cakes.

 The new planner I got for my crafting activities has a calendar view, then the next pages are broken down by weeks, with space to write in each day. At the top are a space for weekly goals. 

So the goal for this week was to cut the binding strips, and bind the quilt ...

 A clean slate offers new possibilities. Cherish, savor and nourish the sensational and memorable feeling of a new love whether it’s a friend, a spouse, a child, a grandchild or a new place or a new project.

 Began with a quilted white background using the 2026 Pantone prompt, Cloud Dreamer.  Added a black door for contrast with beads. Embossed a silver cardstock foil for interest. Appliqued a red heart for a dash of color. Cut out bird shapes from a red coke can for the focal point.

This will also be my donation to the 2026 SAQA Spotlight Auction ...

I've been really busy. Well, what seems to be busy for us. Daily chores and lots of shovelling too. There for a few days it kept snowing every day, all day. We ran the snowmobile over the trails to flatten them for our walks. I've been taking the dogs down to our frozen pond for playing ball and they've been loving that. I get to do my little run about as well, safely, on a flat snow covered surface for now. The weather will change it soon enough. Update, it has. Milder temperatures and pouring rain for ...

Do I miss proper snow? – certainly not;) There has been severe winter weather in Aberdeenshire since New Year’s Day and I can imagine how wet it will be in my workshop when that all melts. We had a mere sprinkling of snow in Tavistock and rather icy roads for a few days. A gritter lorry actually tipped over on the edge of Dartmoor, which is ironic. We had a red storm warning at the end of the week but it really landed in Southern Cornwall. In bed in my stone cottage I hardly noticed it ...

 The design sheets here were created some time ago.Now they are inspiring this collection, informing next steps as I continue to develop my current body of work. The colour and pattern aren't what I am looking at here.Rather, I'm examining the composition of these large design sheets in order to feed where I go next with my current surface design explorations.If you look closely at the

Yep --- I'm a believer in the scale as well for keeping weight under control! I check at the gym twice a week. But in all fairness to myself, I don't really need to lose weight—OK—10 pounds would be amazing, but I want to tone up, and that is measured by BMI!!! 

It doesn't matter what measurement type you use, but sadly, we need to keep on top of it! As we age, our metabolism slows, so we have to be even more diligent.

A few days of warmth have been followed by a really cold snap. The deer have been here several days looking for food. I think it is fine for them to eat the vines and weeds out of the hosta garden.

This gal did her part.

Three of them moved through, and I wish they’d stay a bit longer and finish off the weed removal. But, it is hard to find good help these days.

In the birdhouse, I thought I saw a bird sitting in the opening with its head looking around. I realized after taking several photos ...

No change in the numbers.

Work continues on the Challenge Quilt, which I ended up naming Winter Tree.

This is a challenge for my Art Quilt Group.  Throughout last year, members took turns presenting short programs on different techniques.  We covered a variety of topics, including trading cards, junk journals, using AI for idea generation, dimensional fabric sculpture, creating portrait quilts from photos, free motion applique, and others.  The challenge for January is to make a small quilt using one of the program techniques.

I chose AI for idea generation.  I started with a prompt that generated a picture, but ...

We are more than a week into the new year.  I'm mostly back into my normal groove. I'm doing well with focusing on my goals. But we are only a week in, a year is a long time to keep yourself in line.  In fact, there's a another quilt along that's been posted I really want to play along with that's not on my new project list for 2026.  I'm trying to resist, but I did look to see if I have fabric in my stash for it.  I do.  Oh well, I'll ...

I decided to go with #3 choice from my previous post.  I not only liked it best, it is also one of those hard to use prints because of the size of motifs.  It will be perfect in 8.5" x 9.5" blocks.

While I was at it, I chose a backing fabric too.  This is a surprise project, not at all planned, started just by looking through drawers of sewn pieces.  I need to turn the iron on today and press fabrics so I can do some cutting.  I also sewed the top and bottom borders on the ...
