Don't Be Fooled from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It's that day when we must be wary. There's a prankster around every corner. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we're going grocery shopping today. You can bet we'll be on high alert.

There was a long list of to-do's yesterday. Everything got done, including walking on the treadmill. Yay me! And so it was late in the day by the time I made my way to the sewing room. No worries, though. I was able to finish the fourth row of the Stair Steps quilt.

Sunday Stash and OMG Update March 29, 2026 from Quilt Paint Create

No change in the numbers. Maybe next week.

My OMG for March was to finish the striped top and get it basted. It was a good month in the sewing room, and I quilted it too.

I started the binding, but don’t expect to finish the quilt this month. Once I bind it, I’ll decide if I want to add squares between the lozenge blocks. I intentionally left them off because I didn’t want to quilt through them in dark thread.

I’m linking to Stories from the Sewing Room to share my OMG progress.

Hard to ...

So Much Sewing from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. All of my to-do's were crossed off yesterday, including walking on the treadmill and the one housekeeping chore on my list. Yay me!

Once the meat and potatoes part of my day was complete, I could move on to dessert. There was lots of time for sewing. Fortunately, my purrtector cat was on the job, keeping an eye out for any invading forces from the north.

It was unclear how much quilting there was left to do on the Fantastic Felines, and so I just sewed until I was tired of sewing, and then laid ...

Sunny Saturday from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. The sun is shining this morning. It seems a miracle! It's been at least a week since we saw the sun last time. My first job this morning will be to get outside and fill the bird feeders. Also, I know some of the daffodils are blooming, and so I'll want to wander around and find every blooming thing.

As for yesterday...it was another day of not-much-accomplished. I took the first stitches on September's block for "A Year in the Garden."

And I made some progress on the Painted Ladies. I expect ...

Sunday Stash March 8, 2026 from Quilt Paint Create

No change in the numbers.

The center of the striped top is together.

Next comes the borders, which I’ll keep simple. There’s a lot going on in the blocks. I auditioned several striped fabrics, and it was chaos. I’ll save those fabrics for another project.

I also picked the backing fabric, although I may be a little short.

Fabric Added: 0

Fabric Used: .75 yards

Net Fabric Used: .75 yards

How did you do this week?

March 2026 OMG from Quilt Paint Create

It’s time for a new monthly goal.

My focus quilt has been the striped orphan project. I’m sewing the top together now. I have one more column to add and borders. I think I can get it basted for quilting too.

I’d love to finish the quilt this month but don’t think that’s doable. There are several appointments and commitments in March which will limit my weekend sewing. If I manage to start the quilting, it will be a good month.

To see all the other goals, visit Stories from the Sewing Room.

Moving North from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. We’re in a death march toward home, although with our new rule about driving shorter distances, it doesn’t feel as much like a death march. It’s more like a pleasant trot. We’ll head to Reno, Nevada, for today’s drive. There’s no particular reason for stopping in Reno, but it was a good amount of travel for a single day. It probably seems as if ending our day in Nevada would have us traveling in the wrong direction, but it makes sense when you realize that Nevada and Oregon share a ...

February OMG Update and Setting Limits from Quilt Paint Create

That felt like a fast month.

My February OMG was to make some blocks and move the striped quilt project forward. I made 24 blocks total.

At 20 blocks, I laid them out to finalize the setting. This was my original plan.

This is the setting I thought I would end up using.

After looking at both I realized I didn’t have near enough blocks to make either setting work. I couldn’t muster enough enthusiasm to make many more blocks and didn’t have fabric for them either.

I settled on making four more blocks and will use ...

First Down from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. This being Super Bowl Sunday, you might think that "first down" crack has something to do with football. Actually, it means I've finished the first block for the Snowmen & Reindeer project. Ta-Da!

Stitching this first block was my goal for February's

and so I'll link up to the finishing party at the end of the month. And this early in February, I'm well ahead of the game.

We spent most of yesterday running all around Henderson. We stopped at a hardware store for some "man stuff," and then we headed to the ...

February 2026 OMG from Quilt Paint Create

It’s time to pick a goal for the second month of the year.

I admit I’m struggling with this one. I want my goal to relate to the Stripes project, but haven’t come up with something both quantifiable and doable.

I started sewing blocks together, and it hasn’t gone smoothly. The cutting issues created more challenges than I expected, and I’m not sure how that will impact the overall project.

It’s like trying to pin down an expected arrival time when you don’t know where you’re going.

The best goal I came ...
