What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

In a scrap bag were small pieces of some super cute farm fabric–chickens, sunflowers and text. They aren’t the kind of prints where cutting them smaller would be a good solution. But they could be combined with something else.

I added the gold geometric print in the 4-1/2″ squares and built 4-patchesout of 2-1/2″ squares using coordinating fabrics.

I even had some matching sunflower fabric for the back.

It is even cuter in person, but this at least gives you an idea. Cheap and cheerful, but it will go in the donation pile for next year ...

Now I have 3 little flannel quilts made.  I may be ...

My Abloom Quilt Finish (Sew Sampler – May 2025)

I’m so happy to finally be sharing this finish — my Abloom quilt, made from the May 2025 Sew Sampler Box. This is one of those projects that quietly stayed with me throughout the year, and seeing it fully quilted and finished feels especially satisfying.

The fabric collection, Abloom by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics, is just beautiful. Soft, cheerful florals with a timeless feel — the kind of prints that instantly lift your mood. I especially loved working with the panel that came in the box; it really anchors the quilt and ...

In this week’s episode of 99 Machine Quilting Designs, we’re bringing back swirls with a modified, or “squished” spiral that resembles a woodgrain texture. Refer back to episode 25 for how to quilt a basic swirl design. This might be a helpful refresher, since squished spirals is basically just a variation on this design. It’s a great way to add realistic texture to your quilt, so check out the video below if you want to learn more:

 It was an early morning start with the alarm going off, and into the shower.   But.... there was a nasty intruder waiting for me in the shower, a horrible black cockcroach was on the glass shower wall and was waving his antennae at me!  What to do?  Whatever the answer was, I had to do it by myself.  So I crept into the shower, quickly placed a drinking glass over the insect, and a piece of card underneath to keep him inside the glass, rushed outside and threw him on the lawn, yuk. I didn't need that upset to ...

 Merry Christmas to all. 

I had a chance to sew this morning and I decided on the last 4 blocks I needed for the sampler. This was after I decided on a setting. I am combining 6" and 12" blocks side by side. I found five 12" blocks tucked away with other orphan blocks. They aren't scrappy but that would make it way too busy. So the last 4 blocks aren't scrappy@ either. 

This is my fifth year of publishing monthly scrap quilting patterns called Color Block Quilts.  In short, I cut all of my scraps into 2 1/2" squares, group them into color families, stitch them into 16-patches, and then stich them into simple quilts.   All of the quilts for 2025 are grouped together in a free (for now) class.  Once you "buy" the class (for free), it's yours forever even if a price is eventually attached.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Good morning, my friends. I hope you're ready for Christmas, because time's up! I still have one more baking project to do this morning, but that will be the end of my baking extravaganza for the year. The only other thing I need to make between now and the time we leave is some egg salad for sandwiches. I'll hold off on that for another day or two.

With a big windstorm headed our way, I went straight to work on my baking yesterday. I wanted to make sure it was all done in case we lost ...

From my house to yours. My fervent wish for all my readers is a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. That’s actually my wish for myself too! 

I found the rest of my ceramic trees and got them put out. 

Of course, it’s almost time to put them all away, but I told myself, “Better late than never”.

I have been walking the dogs after dark so I can enjoy the Christmas lights in the neighborhood. 

The delivery trucks are working overtime to get all the deliveries made. I have to watch out for them when I ...

Sending warm wishes for this holiday season from our house to yours!

It's Christmas!!!! While we don't do a lot for Christmas these days because it's just the two of us, we still have traditions! They are just different. Like all of you, I have so many Christmas memories, but one in particular that I'm sure my parents will never forget. 

I was pretty young and was fast asleep in my bed when something woke me up. Likely, my mom was putting out the presents. I sprang from my bed and ran into the living room, shouting, "he's here, he's here!" Yep -- I thought Santa had ...

It’s Christmas Day! On this special day, I wish you joy and peace with love and laughter of family and friends. A wish for all my readers, no matter where you live or what your faith, of health and happiness on this day and every day.

I wrote these wishes in 2016, and I still wish for the same things, to a greater degree now than ever in the past. I wish for a world where tolerance and respect is the norm instead of the exception for all people, especially in our leaders. I wish for people of different ...
