What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. We're counting down the days until D-Day, one week from today. This coming week is going to be very busy. Happily, we'll get a break when we join the rest of the family for Christmas Eve dinner at Erik and Mae's house. I offered to bring something, but I'm told they have it handled. There's still a little bit of Christmas baking on my list. Aside from that, my holiday cooking responsibilities are complete. 

My yesterday started with Tiny Treasure #32. This one has stem stitch and straight stitch.

We had the soup for lunch -- it was excellent, although I watered it down a wee bit too much. I have already given DH my grocery list for today, and I've asked for more squash! I see someone sent me a recipe. I might become a soup maker as I love soup for lunch! 

DH and I finally went out to dinner on our own last night. Hmmm -- I miss those date nights alone and will have to get back to that. I think KU will have to stay home as it's one of the few times we ...

It has been a wonderful holiday week, with a slower pace, more time with friends, and the last of the shopping. Settle in with a cuppa for a long and picture heavy post. The gifts are under the tree, and the stocking stuffers are hidden for when Santa comes on Christmas eve. Handmade cards were sent, and Christmas cookies baked and frosted to enjoy at leisure. Tuesday night, we had dinner with friends and went to the Lake Julian Festival of Lights show.

This is a small show, in comparison to others. But we love it simply because it is ...

No fabric in this week.

I finished the Snow pillow, fabric already counted out.

I also made a couple RWB blocks for Guild.  They put out a call for blocks at the last meeting.  They intend to make RWB donation quilts next year for the America 250 celebration.

I’m crawling toward the 20 yards out mark.

I have a challenge quilt due at my next Art Quilt Group meeting.  That one is in the planning stage.

Fabric In:  8.625 yards

Fabric Out:  28.5 yards

Net Fabric Out:  19.875 yards

How did you do this week?

It's the Sunday before Christmas. Just one more full week left in 2025. That's really hard to believe.  This week wasn't so busy as last week, but for some reason I was really tired early in the week. Maybe fighting something off as it's that time of year all kinds of yucky sicknesses are floating around.  At any rate, that's what ate into my sewing time this week, There was one day where I just felt yucky and ended up going to bed really early.

Joey has been busy with quilts for donation. I just love getting email from her sharing the finishes. Here is the latest. Joey writes: These two quilts were donated by Sylvia in WI. I love a double 4 patches & channels running thru… she loves civil war fabric as do I. Backing from my stasha …

Go check out the Instagram reel tutorial a fellow crafter posted that inspired me to try this:

 I don’t remember why I thought this was a good idea!  But so far it’s working out, minus my mistakes

I was scrolling through Instagram while I was walking on the treadmill. I’ve found At Home Cook, and I like her recipes, so I was watching. She was doing a five-day eating plan with ingredients from Aldi’s. She had five recipes, and she had made the meals for only $56 for the week. I love …

 I made more blocks. Coming up with variations was easy enough. 

Then I made more.

And more.

Not sure that I'm done. I came across some leftover bowtie blocks so this sampler has been interrupted.

Happy Holidays everyone.
