What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing extra fast this morning because I have an early appointment with a new dermatologist. My dermatologist of some 35 years retired a couple of years ago. I've been seeing another doctor, but I haven't really felt comfortable with her. Now I'm switching. It's hard getting in with a specialist as a new patient, but I managed to score a July appointment, when his new patient appointments were booking out until December. I hope I like him. It's just a routine skin check...nothing to worry about. Hopefully, I ...

Do you remember this post?

I have finally started the process of finishing these pieces in order to create another cloth sample book.

After thinking about it I decided to use cloth headers, it really is the most practical solution. 

The strips of Liberty print fabric that are pinned here will be embellished with hand stitch at the seam.

There are seven more pieces requiring headers and once they are all finished with decorative embroidery they will be joined to finish the new cloth sample book.

No change in the numbers.

Work continues on the Paint Chip Challenge.  I’ve completed three more squares.

I decided to jump around a bit and see how that goes.

Fabric Used:  6.5 yards

Net Fabric Added:  6.625 yards

How did you do this week?

Good morning, my friends. It was a productive day in the sewing room yesterday, and the kitchen too, if you're keeping score. Of course, nothing could happen until I'd done my slow-stitching. The bottom right corner is finished, and I’ve moved my hoop to the left. Probably I still have a couple of days of work on this, but I should start thinking about getting the next one ready to go.

Good morning, my friends. It was good to get back to my sewing yesterday, even if I was determined to do most everything wrong. The only thing I was able to do right yesterday was to stitch my way across the “[L]ove" portion of my embroidery piece.

This morning, I was out the door with a bolt of fabric and some jam for mom. I stopped by her place to drop them off. We were meeting at Georgie's today because of mom having a cleaning lady stop by to clean her place and talk about when she will be coming. Mom walked over to Georgie's for about an hour and walked back. I was proud of her walking! She usually takes her car. Then I realized when I went back to mom's it was because Debbie (cleaning lady) was in her driveway. lol

Good morning, my friends. It was kind of a mish-mash of a day. Things seemed out of order, and not everything was accomplished. It hardly matters. My calendar is flexible. 

The only sewing I did yesterday was slow sewing. I finished the upper right corner section, and now I’ve moved my hoop down to capture the “LOVE” section.

A table full of samples.

There are ten 'pieces' here.

I say ten pieces but there are many more than that as each piece is made up of at least two embroidered samples.

They need to be attached? joined? a cloth book? or maybe a folded situation? joining these at the side edges not the top edges?

That option needs thought....maybe a border of cloth on that edge which can be folded without folding the embroidered samples?

I'll have a think.

Welcome to Summer!  We’ve had unusually hot weather for the past week, the same as many of you.  Nothing to do for it but stay inside where it’s cool.

On the sewing and stitching front, July will be a tricky month.  We have a lot going on, and I know my creative time will be limited.  Given everything on the calendar, the best I can do is move something forward.

My current focus quilt is the Paint Chip Challenge.  I filled 8 of the 24 blocks.

I only worked on one this week.

The Challenge is due on ...

Good morning, my friends. There as a change of plans yesterday. Shortly after my morning blog posted, Matthew called to say he'd barely slept the night before. And I'm sympathetic to that. We decided to do our walk on Monday. No worries. I could switch gears. Only...I seemed to be stuck in neutral because I made almost no forward progress during the day. 

There was a little progress to show on the Love Sampler. After stitching these two sections, I moved my hoop to the right. I'll pick it up there this morning, and then continue ...

Good morning, my friends. Mike and I are early risers, generally. After all, we have furry alarm clocks who want to make sure we’re awake to see the sun rise in the morning. Yesterday was no different, and I was ready to make our usual Sunday morning pancakes around 8:00 a.m. Knowing I was going to be making a breakfast item with those egg whites I’ve been hoarding, I asked Mike if he’d be up for a change. Indeed, he was. And so for breakfast I made these Freezer-friendly Egg White Muffins. Here’s how ...

A pile of hand stitched pillows......three of them for pins and the other for? whatever you wish.

All completely hand made, hand sewn seams, hand sewn edges, hand made Suffolk puffs.

These are now listed in the shop.

Good morning, my friends. It was an all slow-stitching day yesterday, and I was able to finish off two quilts. Yay me! Before any sewing could be done, though, I wanted to do some things outside. Thunder and lightning were in our forecast, and so there was no time to waste. The lightning never materialized, as far as I could tell. Later in the afternoon, we had one big thunder clap, and that was all. It rained off and on, but really, nothing to write home about weather-wise. (You'll note that I am writing about it, however.)

Outside, I ...
