What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday. All the items on my to-do list were checked off. I've been working at procrastinating less. You might say I'm procrastinating on my procrastination. It feels good to have everything finished at the end of the day, but it cuts into my sewing time. Nevertheless, I started my "Motion" project yesterday, and I was able to get farther along than expected. I was so involved in the process that I neglected to take any pictures until the end of the day. Here's your peek:

Good morning, my friends. We had a little let-up from the rain yesterday. By afternoon, the sun was shining and we had a blue sky...a welcome sight. We were out in our hot tub last night, and we could see stars for the first time in many nights. This morning, the sun is shining, and there isn't a cloud in the sky. For sure, I'm going to get outside and cut back that last dahlia today. I might have done it yesterday while I was out filling the bird feeders. But there was a drizzle falling, and ...

Good morning, my friends. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, it was going to be a bad day for Smitty. He had an appointment with the vet. The kitties are pretty amazing in their ability to detect even the slightest of changes to our morning routine. When I went downstairs from writing yesterday's post, I found them like this:

They're up to something, Smitty. I just know it.

Happily, it was a quick visit. I'd forgotten that both kitties got health check-ups last spring because we needed documentation to ...

Good morning, my friends. After writing yesterday's post, I proceeded to waste my morning hours messing with ChatGPT. This is the sort of thing that interests me not at all, but I was trying to create an AI image. It took me quite a while to understand the ins and outs of this. At one point I realized I was wasting my whole morning, and I decided to indulge in that luxury for a single morning. Since I needed to leave the house at 11:45 a.m., it didn't seem as if there was enough time to ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a new week. We're moving dangerously close to that season we often refer to as "the holidays." Are you ready? Halloween is the last domino to fall. After that, it'll be a Christmas music free-for-all. We haven't heard anything of Christmas so far, but I expect the mania will start up any day now. 

It was an easy-going day yesterday. I gave myself a day off from anything other than sewing...and cooking, of course. Laziness is no excuse for starvation, and so we ate our usual meals. Aside from that ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a gardening day yesterday. I'm happy to have things mostly wrapped up for the winter. Before I started on that, though, I spent some time stitching the next Tiny Treasure. It looks like one treasure per day will probably be my limit. This one has stem stitch, satin stitch, seed stitch and fishbone stitch.

Good morning, my friends. Well, I'm back. We ventured into war-ravaged Portland on Tuesday to get our COVID boosters, and somehow, we came out whole. Yay, us. We even found our way back to our car parked in the underground parking garage. As we walked, we noted which bank of elevators we'd used and whether we'd turned left or right. Amazingly, we were able to walk directly to our car when everything was over. But, hey. They wouldn't let us leave without these lovely parting gifts.

Good morning, my friends. The rain is supposed to start up today, but it's bright and sunny right now. It seems to me these recent rain forecasts have failed to materialize. Maybe this time will be different. Whatever happens, I know what I'll be doing. I'll be sewing. How about you?

Yesterday saw me finishing up the fifth block and the whole first row of the Stair Steps project. The endless cutting for these blocks isn't my favorite thing to do, but I believe I'm going to love this quilt. Some of you probably follow ...

Good morning, my friends. The days seem to be flying by right now. It's harder to get up in the morning with cooler temperatures and later sunrises. I've been sleeping a little later, and it cuts into the time I have for accomplishing anything during the day. It's probably all right to slow the pace a little bit as summer winds down.

It was late in the day by the time I made my way to the sewing room. My goal for the day was to do all the cutting for the Gumballs project. The "Gumballs," pattern ...

Good morning, my friends. That most-hated task, grocery shopping, is finished for the week. We got off to a late start yesterday morning. It was after lunch time when we got home. We put everything away, had our lunch, and then we each took naps...pretty much required after a grocery shopping trip. Finally, I was able to get back to my sewing. 

It took a while, but I finished the hand-stitching on the ninth of nine blocks for the Merry, Merry Snowmen project.
