What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. How are y'all doing this morning? It rained for a good part of the day yesterday. By afternoon, the clouds cleared off, and there was blue sky and sunshine. It was nice because Mike wanted to go out for dinner. After being cooped up inside for the past two days trying not to drown, we were both approaching a serious case of cabin fever. Then, when I awakened this morning, rain was coming down in buckets again. Possibly it was the last gasp of the atmospheric river that passed through because as I'm writing ...

Good morning, my friends. We had another day of rain...some wind, but not as much as we expected. Mike tells me the storm came at us from the south. Since we're just over the crest of our hill on the north side of the mountain, we had a bit of shelter from the wind. Once again, Sadie gave an excellent demonstration on how to spend a wet and windy day. She is an expurrt at this.

No change in the numbers.

I spent a lot of time catching up on all the things that don’t happen when you are away for a week. No sewing, but I plan to start working on Verticals again today.

I began a mindless stitching project while on vacation and worked on it some since. The tree on the right is in progress. I finished the frame, the snowmen bodies, the snowflakes, and the snow on the ground.

I only work on it when I don’t have the mental capacity to do anything else. Otherwise, it would be a ...

Good morning, my friends. Yeesh. It rained the whole live-long day yesterday. By day's end, we'd accumulated a full inch. We're expecting more of the same today. We're told today's weather will bring us less rain, but more wind. Fingers crossed we don't lose power. This is typical weather in our area in October. We generally get a big wind storm around Columbus Day. Historically, a big wind storm did a lot of damage in Portland in 1962, and it's still referred to as the Columbus Day Storm. We've had a pretty ...

This morning, I wanted to leave by 9 am. I had to drop off the family history at the post office for Bryan. Then I found out 2 pages didn't make it in the envelope so will send it later. Then I stopped for breakfast and tea. 

Got to my appointment on time. Chatted with Bob about life in general for me. He suggested I might like to chat with a physiologist. I tend to agree with him. My emotions are all over the place and I'm not doing much anymore like I usually do. I sent a ...

Good morning, my friends. I thought the rain would hold off until tomorrow, but it looks as if it'll be joining us sooner than that. We're promised an "atmospheric river," meaning rain, rain, rain, and more rain. It's the Pacific Northwest. What can I say? 

It's still dark outside as I write this. I'm hopeful the Firefighter dahlia will have opened a little more from yesterday's showing.

Good morning, my friends. After writing yesterday's post, I proceeded to waste my morning hours messing with ChatGPT. This is the sort of thing that interests me not at all, but I was trying to create an AI image. It took me quite a while to understand the ins and outs of this. At one point I realized I was wasting my whole morning, and I decided to indulge in that luxury for a single morning. Since I needed to leave the house at 11:45 a.m., it didn't seem as if there was enough time to ...

Good morning, my friends. These multi-appointment weeks are going to wear me down. I saw the dentist yesterday for a check-up and cleaning. Today I'm getting my monthly pedicure. The pedicure is nice, but it still means time out of the day, driving, traffic, and being away from home. I'm a homebody. There's no place I'd rather be, and so going out several times a week for two weeks running is wearisome.

Before leaving home yesterday, I had time to stitch the 8th Tiny Treasure. This one has stem stitch, stem fill, straight stitch, and French ...

 Early morning dance party non participants...but they want to be near me anyway. Ned is bored but Petey is trying to understand what is it I'm doing.
