What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

One more section done and being attached.  I was asked if this top is heavy – I guess because of the papers?  I take the papers out as I join sections so the only paper in it is around the edges so I don’t find it any heavier than any other quilt this size and […]

One day it is 40 degrees and two days later 78, humid and so humid in the house I put the A/C on in the evening to chase the humidity out!  crazy. I said I was going to take a couple days away from the sewing machine and I didn’t touch it other to make […]

 My Jasmine Magnolia is bravely blooming a little. Photographed against a screen and that backyard bank of snow.

Finally yesterday as it was such a chilly breezy day I was inside sewing and got all the rows together – now a border and it will be ready to go on the quilting frame next.  But first I will need to get this pressed good today before I cut out pieces for a border.  […]

Just a little quilting got done on Tuesday evening – I didn’t push it after getting the injections done and today didn’t succeed in getting much done either.  Of course that might be because a bit of house cleaning got done instead (I tend to push that off more than I used to).  I am […]

Our early spring has gone away and we have a chance for freezing on Tuesday and it has been nothing but chilly weather (40’s) for several days now – I knew our cool weather was not gone – but that means with this rainy chilly weather and an audio book to listen to that progress […]

Yesterday I got 10 more diamonds done leaving 12 more to do – I will try to finish those today.  These are in pairs – two of each. Added to the wall – this project was started last year with the Snails Trail block with SoScrappy’s Rainbow Scrap Challenge, just the bottom portion to go […]

Another nice day – after looking at the weather outlook I know we will have a couple more nice days before the rain and chill comes back but I don’t think it will be as cold as the weathermen seemed to be getting overly excited about last week calling it our “third winter” of the […]

Yesterday although I got my batting cut for the next pieced batting I never got it done – my excuse? I just didn’t feel like it!!  But it is ready for me! I did get some work done on the hexies and I will continue that for Slow Sunday Stitching with Kathy – one more […]

I got one bag of the scrap batting that I showed yesterday squared away and hope to get the pressing tape on it today.  I knew I had some of the pressing tape but had to really look for it! It was hidden among all the treasures stashed here and there. The one section that […]

Sunday was such a nice day that I didn’t get done with as much stitching in the daytime as I had planned.  I met Melanie at some trails and we walked the dog and got in some walking.  It got up to 60 degrees while we were there!  It was a long sleeve t-shirt under […]

For Slow Sunday Stitching with Kathy and the gang I will work on my knitting which I haven’t showed for awhile and has barely had any progress (good thing this sweater is for next winter lol) this is the only part done so far (back or front I’m not sure at this point) also linking […]

Today I will not turn the sewing machine on but instead I will work on Norkio’s Star and knit a little bit.  Maybe take a walk as well.  After 3 or 4 days of sewing machine piecing I need a break from it – so for Slow Sunday Stitching with Kathy’s Quilts it will be […]

Yesterday got off to a slow start while I was communicating with an Etsy Shop about the pattern I wanted for the combo pattern with Snails Trail.  I love it when the person on the other end magically – it seems at times – is right there answering your questions.  It makes life so much […]

Well I have all the hexies selected for the large background triangle, thread basted and work has started.  For Slow Sunday Stitching with Kathy and all the gang of slow stitches around the world I will work on these hexies (and knitting).  I am also linking to Quilting is More Fun Than Housework — Life […]

I really didn’t get done with a lot but I did play with hexies off and on throughout the day going over color ideas, pulling forgotten fabric off of this shelf and that – hiding under stacks of fabrics. Some will be used – other pieces won’t – others will still come out of hiding […]

All of the rows are now sewed for Arkansas Traveler – now to figure out the measurements to cut the half square triangles and the corners the blocks are 12.5 inches – I know there is a formula out there now to find it LOL.  I’ve done it before but it always takes me a […]

Each day as it gets closer to Christmas I seem to be busier and busier and less time for sewing.  I had intended to start working on the border yesterday for Rainbow Crossings and never got to it.  Instead I was grocery shopping before the expected winter storm that will bring a little snow – […]

Why did I decided I just had to get a couple presents to wrap? I do not enjoy shopping – I enjoy shopping for presents even less – I didn’t really enjoy the day – I felt exhausted by time we were done – even the place we were going to stop to eat […]
