What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 Right now it's 19, with a projected high of 30. Next week we should see some warming, all the way up into the 40's! It's looking good for Steph and Dan to come visit. 

Betty has been busy. I had two emails from her, each with a few quilts to share with all of you. Betty writes:  I am attaching some pictures of quilts that I finished.  They were donated to me by Chris J of South Dakota.  They have been donated to local foster children. #1 is a …

There's been progress with this piece, you last saw it here.

It's turning into a patchwork piece....unintentionally.

I like it though. I especially like the patchwork flower. 

I like the flower so much that I've made extra.

They will not be used here though......or maybe one would fit in that empty corner of gingham.....hmmmmm.

Regarding my parents' anniversary (72 years), my Dad is 92, and my Mom is 90. Married young! 

I have to tell you a story about my Dad. For the most part, he has been getting around pretty well - no cane, a replaced hip, and a knee, but lots of aches and pains - darn arthritis. And he still drives himself to "work" (the Museum), where he volunteers rebuilding stationary engines. If he can't find the part, he makes it. I see him slowing down and often does the supervising rather than the work, certainly anything heavy. 

Before Christmas, he started ...

I have been getting a lot of quilting done.....unfortunately, none of it is for my own quilts. I'll get to those later, I hope! 

Yesterday I played thread chicken with this one:

Patrick went golfing and Kaiser woke me up at 8:30 am to let me know we needed to move my appointment because my density test wasn't scheduled yet and I needed that before my appointment. So, I had to call and get that scheduled and then call him back. While I waited, I called OBGYN to get an appointment in April - and they don't have that schedule available yet. 

So, for a couple hours this morning, I was on the phone. Then I went walking. I got 3 laps in today, which was awesome. I have to ...

There’s just something about sewing with hearts that never gets old. They’re simple, familiar, and always feel personal. A heart project doesn’t need a special reason—but it does show up right on time when you want to make something meaningful. Valentine’s Day, holidays, birthdays, charity sewing, or “just because”… hearts fit them all.

What I love most is the range. You can sew a tiny heart hand warmer in an afternoon or commit to a full quilt that becomes a family favorite. Same shape. Totally different energy. And both are gift-worthy.

This is one of ...

We’re starting the Starlit Meadow Block of the Month with one of my favorite classic designs — the Double Star block. It’s bold, balanced, and the perfect way to kick things off.

Each block finishes at 12 ½” x 12 ½” (unfinished), and this month you’ll be sewing four of them.

This block uses the 4-at-a-time flying geese method, which means it comes together quickly once you get into the rhythm. It’s a great chance to get comfortable with accurate trimming and pressing so all those star points meet up just right.

In the video for this month, I ...

In between sports, Arnie and I have been watching a few movies over the last month or so. I thought I would share them with you. First up is The Green Mile. I have never seen it before. Arnie can’t believe how many movies I haven’t seen. This movie is LONG…like 3 hours long. Here …

Hey there, my friends.  It's currently day 17,631 of this ice storm.  Not really, but it sure feels like it, and for those of you who have seen the movie Groundhog Day, I guess it's fitting for this week.  As I write this, we're on day 12, and my neighborhood streets are still icy, which means the schools are still out, no mail or package deliveries, and things are still not back to normal.  And of course, since I haven't gotten to the quilt shop, it means that I haven't sewn anything new.

I ...

 The Ravine by Maia Chance 

Set on an island in the Pacific Northwest, this wonderfully creepy thriller kept me turning pages until the end. I love folk horror and this is a fascinating slow burn that definitely delivers. After struggling with her fertility for years, Harlow steps away from her high stress job and moves with her husband and stepson to his childhood home. She has little in common with her next door neighbor or the other moms who take their children to KinderWild, a forest preschool that seems a little too cultish. An island full of nearly identical blonde ...

 We're not big cereal eaters here, but once in a while we like a change from steel cut oats or the 6 different ways I'll fix eggs. When we DO get a hankering for cereal, I like Special K with craisins or Honey Bunches of Oats with a sliced banana and DH likes granola. I ran across this recipe a while back and and finally got around to making it last week.Healthy GranolaWe both really liked
