What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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?

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.
