What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It was a productive day yesterday. I'm closing in on a finish for the Cats in Pajamas. It should be an easy task to finish it today. Under Smitty's watchful eye, I turned the fourth corner on the binding.

It was a day-long effort, but all the while I was sewing, I was working on this Leek and Chanterelle Tart. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I used half chanterelle mushrooms and half ...

It was time to get started on the borders for Timeless.  I had most everything cut the day before but did have a little bit of cutting and instruction reading before I got busy.  I laid pieces out to prepare and then of course because I wasn’t thinking about room to pull the machine to […]

Good morning, my friends. It was kind of a busy day yesterday. I had to drive into town for my haircut. Then, I stopped off at Wholly Too Expensive Foods to score some chanterelle mushrooms. The mushrooms were available, but packaged in 16 oz. packages. I really only wanted 8 oz., and so I quickly checked my Paprika app to see what I could do with the other 8 oz. No worries. I can make a Leek and Chanterelle Tart with those.  

Chanterelles in hand, I headed to our regular grocery store to return those dill pickle pistachios (perish the ...

I got just the kind of mail you like to get.  Fabric packages.  First I got the next installment of Timeless, pattern for the next border and the fabric  – when this border is done the quilt should be 66 x 66 inches – I say about because I’m never accurate.  Three of these fabrics […]

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday looked a lot like the day before. It was kind of a busy morning, but as always, my day started with embroidery.

I have very little to blog about.  I did literally nothing yesterday but nap off and on.  Mike and I stayed up late on Tuesday watching the election results.  We were disappointed with Arkansas results as they were very red like usual.  We so hoped for some other candidates in that race but we loved […]

Good morning, my friends. We had an epic grocery list yesterday because we hadn't been to the grocery store in nearly two weeks. On our way home, we passed by this pretty tree decked out in its fall colors. I've seen a few of these around with three colors of leaves on a single three.

Thankfully, the shopping was all done and the groceries put away before noon, which left me lots of time in the day for sewing. My first stop was to clip the Cats in Pajamas and get started hand-sewing the binding. Before I stopped ...

This is the fifth tablerunner in my current binge series of tablerunners: Onyx at Christmas Tablerunner by Jessica Dayon.

It is also for Sparkle Jane and her family in their new house.

Just so you know…I have two more runners planned or in progress. When will it end? Perhaps not for a while.

ps–I love diagonal striped binding!

I sure hope there are no more mistakes in Timeless, I looked the blocks over good.  The final four baskets are done and in place on the board.  After I took the photo I took the lowest blocks off the bottom of the wall and moved them up higher before Raven would decide to do […]

Good morning, my friends. There wasn't as much time for sewing yesterday as I'd hoped, but the binding is sewn on the Cats in Pajamas, and that project is on the home stretch. We had almost not a single bite of food in the house for lunch, and so we ended up driving into town for a second McRib. Usually, we limit ourselves to one per seasonal offering, but what the heck, right? 

Before we left, I took some time for slow-stitching.

We had a little bit of rain again yesterday and maybe more on today on Election Day – please everyone if you didn’t get out to early vote please do your duty as a citizen and vote. I sat at the machine for only a little while but the Timeless mistake on one of the […]

Good morning, my friends. Well, my extra hour in the day stretched to accommodate all my favorite activities: Cats, Gardening, Quilting, Cooking, and Photography. So let's just see where it all began.

In the cooking category, I baked a batch of Chocolate and Pistachio Biscotti. I've made these before, and they're supposed to be dipped in more chocolate. We liked them as is, and so I bagged the whole chocolate dip at the end. These will be nice with our morning coffee.

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to November! Sheesh. Can you believe we're into the "holiday season" already? And it’s my favorite time change of the year. For the past week, I’ve been making a list of all the things I’m going to do with my extra hour of time. 

Truthfully, time seems to fly by any more. I feel as if we just got home from last winter’s trip south. It makes me think of a conversation I had with one of my graduate school professors. Her name was Maria, and her social work ...
