What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It has taken until February for me to finally post a sewing item. I thought I would have had time to do this earlier, but obviously there have been a lot of distractions. But I am now spending time in my lovely sewing room, and definitely enjoying it!

This quilt is one of many started a while back. It was close to finished, but then was put aside as others came along. I am making an effort to work on all of them. There are not as many as I thought, thankfully. Seven found so far. I am realistic because ...

It’s time to pick a goal for the second month of the year. 

I admit I’m struggling with this one.  I want my goal to relate to the Stripes project, but haven’t come up with something both quantifiable and doable.

 I started sewing blocks together, and it hasn’t gone smoothly.  The cutting issues created more challenges than I expected, and I’m not sure how that will impact the overall project.

It’s like trying to pin down an expected arrival time when you don’t know where you’re going.

The best goal I came ...

It's February so time to start another section of this pattern by Verushka Karate. I am wishing that I had done section 2 first as it is not big or complicated and only has one element which is appliqued. 

I know that March will be busy for me so I will stitch section 3 which is small and has no applique. Limiting myself to one section a month is working so far for me as it is a manageable chunk, and I can also work on other projects. I still have to find the pouch of leftover fabrics from ...

…and just like that, a month passed. Wow. We’ve already stitched ourselves into the month of February. I got quite a bit of stitching time in last week. If you remember, Arnie went ice fishing, and I had lots of sewing and stitching time. I wanted to work on Oh Joyous Day. I had finally …

Dieses Jahr wird ein Baby-Jahr und manche werden von mir einen Baby-Quilt bekommen. Ich sage ganz bewusst manche. Denn manche können mit einen Baby-Quilt nichts anfangen - da gibt es ein anderes Geschenk. 

Die Freundin meiner Tochter wartet zwar noch auf den Hochzeitsquilt, aber dafür ist der Quilt für ihre kleine Maria schon fertig. 

Das Zimmer der kleinen Maria ist in Naturtönen mit einem Teppich mit kleinen Kreisen in Rosa-Tönen eingerichtet. Und es gibt noch mehr Rosa und Pink dort. Ein richtiges Mädchenzimmer! Da passt natürlich ein pinker Quilt perfekt.

Not only the week, but the months are going fast. I feel like I sneezed and January was gone. 

Patrick was golfing in the fog. That had to be interesting. It was cold today, but I actually got a few things done. 

I needed to get 2 quilt tops set with backing and batting. I used up the roll of batting and a couple of the backings. I'm going to ask the group what colors they want for backing and see what I can get. I am ordering regular rolls of fabric that are solid colors. That will help ...

You all might remember that my daughter Kelli is a big-time Frieda McFadden fan. She reads and reviews many of her books on the blog. I haven’t read any of them. I just haven’t gotten to them yet. When I saw that one of the books was being made into a movie, I thought Kelli …

Happy Friday, quilters! The quilts in this post are some tops that were sent in which were small enough for me to quilt myself. These first 2 tops were sent in by Rena.

I just stuck to a stipple as usual. Things have been quiet in my house without the kittens. I don't think Fudge and Sundae miss them a bit! The seem thrilled to be back to being only-kitties. I am looking at doing some more fostering in the Spring, so their peace and quiet may not last for long.

I'm planning to get into the sewing ...
