What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 Hello Everyone,

My booth is set and ready for quilters at the Independence Hall Quilt Show at the Fairgrounds in Angels Camp, CA.

You all know that I write, but here's some information about what I write and how it can help you. 

I've been writing QUILTsocial.com blog posts since June 2014. I remember the very first post was all about the Husqvarna Viking HClass sewing machine, and I was out in my gazebo having a grand time. 

Here's the link to that first post if you want to check it out. 

Oh -- how times have changed. That was NOT the top-of-the-line machine, but a great little travel machine. And well, 400+ posts later, I'm still going strong ...

I created a caricature of Einstein for a challenge on Night Cafe using AI.  I have entered several challenges, but this time I actually got in the top 5 percent.  Here is that caricature.

Stay Creative

With Fall Fortnight beginning in just two days, let’s have a chat today. Autumn is slowly arriving, with some varieties of trees already turning, but most have not begun yet. Late October is generally our peak for fall color, so it is a bit early yet. Plus the weather needs to get a lot cooler for the trees to be turning.

Stepping out on the veranda one morning, I found a spider had been very busy. This web was beautifully done, lovely in its symmetry. It is really difficult to photograph a web as the camera just refuses to ...

Rug Hooking Retreat at the Heritage Inn

 When I was in college, I belonged to the Newman Center group on campus.  The priest who was the moderator would take us on a spiritual retreat to a monastery outside of Elmira, NY.  My time there made a big impression on me. I loved the fact that we were getting away from campus.  I would catch up on homework, get up early (5 am!) to hear morning vespers, take long walks on the farm and explore the monastery.  It would center me.

That's why when I heard that Sauder Village offered ...

For my project, I chose the ByAnnie Two Little Totes pattern to create. ByAnnie, our sponsor this month, generously sent us all the supplies to make this pattern. This pattern allows you to make two different sizes: Small or Medium. I chose the Medium Size.

As for the Island Batik Fabrics, I chose three pretty fabrics from the Frosted ...

A friend started blogging again so check her out.  She mentions me in this post from yesterday.

I'm very pleased to report that I've finished the bear paw quilt that I made to celebrate Capital Quilters 40th anniversary. I used the Archie pattern by Penelope Handmade.

I wanted to try something different and I've always liked the Irish Chain effect.  I used Essex Linen for the chains, and an Anna Maria Horner print for the blocks - Coreopsis in Shadow | Made my Day by Anna Maria Horner.  The background is all white and pale blue low volume scraps from my stash. 

The pattern has four size options and I chose the throw size so it ...

Once again it was not a sewing day.  I had a hair cut appointment which was long overdue.  I was going to get my haircut back in early August before my back surgery but with scheduling doctor appointments, CT scan, MRI I just didn’t get to it – when I was recovering I didn’t feel […]

I got some stitching done this week. When I left you last, I had finished by Hannah’s Thankful Heart. I probably should have gone back to my Oh Joyous Day stitching, but I decided to stitch another small. I have never been in a mood so much Fall like I am now. I don’t know …

This morning, I was beat, but I think it's because I took Night Qual around 3 am. I slept till about 10 am today. Mom called and we chatted. Then I started cleaning the house. 

I felt the house needed some work, and Patrick was golfing till 2 pm since they didn't get out in the course till around the time I was getting up. I started with laundry and worked my way to vacuuming. I got a lot done, even with the dishwasher. 

Once all that was done, I didn't feel like doing ANYTHING. I played ...

welcome to this week's list of likes.... I liked this neighbor's decor 

on our walks this week we explored another 'hood and they had a nature area... old, unspoiled, quiet, 

reminded me of Florida preserves... we stood for a long while, just breathing in and out, letting our eyes drift and our brains take a break

some homes were built along the preserve, and we thought that might be nice

Happy Friday, Quilters!  The first of the quilts from our potato chips block drive have started to be completed. This quilt top was made by Bonnie and quilted by Linda.

You can see the quilting panto more clearly from the back 

Next top by Edna, quilted by Linda. Things continue to go along well here. I recently to a big delivery of quilts to the two Tyler hospitals. As flu season is starting along with an uptick in covid they are unfortunately busy. 

The cats and I are well. They're really enjoying more catio time as the weather gets ...

About six months ago, the grandkids left. Arnie and I wanted to watch television, and both of the remotes were gone. AH!!! This was becoming to much of a regular occurrence. Only a few weeks before the remotes were lost, Arnie stuck his hand down between the armrest and the cushion on the couch and …
