What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. We have one more day of time traveling to do, and then we'll be caught up. It seems a good way to start a Monday, doesn't it? So, let's start with what happened here at home yesterday, and then I'll tell you about the final day of our camping trip.

It was time to fill the birdfeeders, and it was time to water the flowers. Of course, my mornings lately have all start with me checking in on the green beans. They're doing a pretty good job of climbing their poles ...

Good morning, my friends. There's a lot of ground to cover this morning, so let's just get to it, shall we? First, I'll tell you about what happened here at home, and then I'll tell you about our Thursday sight-seeing excursion with Erik and Mae. Sound good? I hope so because that's how this is gonna go. I have a lot of pictures. Feel free to top off your coffee before we start.

The garden needed hoeing after being neglected for nearly a week, and the flowers wowed me. Since I hadn't seen them ...

We had to have one small project that used embroidery! With a leftover Santa panel, I made a cute little cookie plate mat for Santa’s treats on Christmas eve. Do you believe in the magic of Christmas? Here we go!

Find a cute sentiment and stitch it on your embroidery machine. If you don’t have one, you can stitch out a sentiment by hand by simply writing the words on a piece of fabric with a pigma pen, then stitching over your lines.

For my project, I used one of the Santa panels left over from the Quilted ...

I've been wrapping up loose ends with this design collection as the wrapping cloth is ready to be finished.

It seems I have 6 unfinished fabric beads!

So, a quick 'how to'.

Good morning, my friends. We're heading out on our camping trip today. It's a short trip. You can expect to hear from me again by Sunday, if not sooner. I won't be blogging while I'm away, but I should have plenty to tell you when I get back.

There was still a lot to do in preparation, but I took some time to stitch up Tiny Treasure #67. This one has stem stitch, running stitch, lazy daisies, and French knots.

My little pouch is finished and is now available in my shop.

The edges were closed with hand stitch and a pretty, contrasting printed fabric has been used for the lining.

You'll also notice that I couldn't resist adding a Suffolk puff too, I'm a sucker for Suffolk puffs. 

Also in the shop, these two pretty pin pillows.

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day from start to finish yesterday. It got so late in the day, I barely did anything in the sewing room. Oh well. Plenty of other things were accomplished. There’s still a lot to do today, but it’ll be less hectic than yesterday. 

Before we needed to take off for the grocery store, I was able to stitch Tiny Treasure #66. This one has stem stitch, straight stitch, and satin stitch.

Good morning, my friends. By the time you read this, it'll be way past morning. I wrote my post and then never published it. Sorry for the late posting. That's what happens when I get too busy. It's Day 2 of my busy week. Yesterday gave me a taste. Today will be even busier. We must do some grocery shopping, unfortunately. We'll get an early start and try to be home early because there's much to do at home as well.

Before I even did my slow-stitching yesterday, I hoed the garden. It was a ...

Today's plans....

Measure, mark and line my 'mushroom' wrapping cloth. 

Finish the embroidery in the hoop.

Line the pink gingham piece with the blue cherry fabric.

Make five big gingham Suffolk puffs. 

And below....

Already ticking things off that list.

Good morning, my friends. My best laid plans for the week turned into better plans when Erik scored a campsite for our two camper rigs for later in the week. We already had a plan to visit the farmer's market yesterday morning, and so what started as a routine schedule for the week just got a whole lot busier. 

Before heading out for the farmer's market, I was able to stitch up the day's Tiny Treasure. This is Tiny Treasure #64. It has stem stitch, lazy daisy, running stitch, and French knot.

Yes, more pink gingham.

Design work for a new drawstring bag...a pink gingham drawstring bag with child themed applique.

I have woven paper and gingham here for the backgrounds of this sampling which I feel works well.

These pieces still need to be finished and I'm also piecing more samples.

The more information I have to hand when deciding on my final design the better,

Good morning, my friends. My day got all turned around by the weather yesterday. Thunder and lightning and rain in the morning put all of my gardening plans on hold. This morning I'm seeing my PCP for my annual physical, and so the garden is going to have to spend another day without me. 

My first stop on yesterday's agenda was to stitch up Tiny Treasure #62. This one has satin stitch, French knots, stem stitch, and fly stitch. This morning’s Tiny Treasure will probably have to wait until I’m home later today. (It’s a ...
