What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. I have a lot to tell you today, and lots of pictures to show. You might want to top-off whatever your drinking and get settled in a comfy chair. Before you do that, though, be sure to lace up your hiking boots. We're gonna go for a short, but challenging hike.

Heading out, we drove directly toward these mountains before turning north. I can never get over the beauty of the geological features of this area. It doesn't have the impact of a place like, say, Monument Valley, but the colors and shadows of ...

It was a great day at the Product Showcase for work, and no, I did not need a nap, but I was so tired when I got home that I wanted to go to bed. I did not, but I did absolutely nothing after dinner. And I doubt I'll get anything done tonight either! 

But I got to meet friends at the meeting and learned a few things. Alas, there are no pictures to share today! Nothing! 

However, there is a QUILTsocial blog post for you to check out.

Good morning, my friends. It was another do-nothing day. That's not entirely true. We had to go to the grocery store, and our list was relatively long. When we got back to the RV and had everything put away, we decided we were no longer interested in doing anything else, and so we spent the rest of the day relaxing. I did three loads of laundry, so that's something. And, of course, I spent some time on my slow-stitching, filling my hoop again.

In May of last year, Mary Helen reached out to me with a request for a T-Shirt Quilt.  I said Yes, but it would have to wait till the end of the year.

Good morning, my friends. Today I can reveal my “Motion” quilt for The Endeavourers art quilt group, but before I do, lets catch up on what happened yesterday, shall we? And let me just tell you, we made good on our goal to do nothing for the entire day. It's good to attain one's goals, wouldn't you agree?

I spent some time on my slow-stitching, finishing off the right side of the turtle.

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to Boulder City! Sorry for the blur in the next image. For as many years as we've been coming here, you'd think I could get an in-focus picture of this sign. But, no. I must have a half dozen pictures that look a lot like this one:

Good morning, my friends. I have to write fast this morning because we're heading on down the dusty trail today. Our time in Escondido has come to an end. By the end of today, we'll be in Boulder City, Nevada.

My slow-stitching was neglected yesterday morning. My first priority was to finish sewing together the final ten blocks for the Gumballs quilt. Smitty helped me lay them out for their picture.

The top four rows are still at home.

Good morning, my friends. It's our last morning in Escondido. Some of today will be spent preparing to leave for Boulder City tomorrow. Probably I'll have a little time for sewing today. As long as I have to put everything away, I might as well get it all out again one more time. Wouldn't you agree?

So we had a casual sandwiches-and-wine day planned with our friends Debi and Jim yesterday. Before we left, I spent some time on my slow-stitching, finishing off what's in my hoop.

Good morning, my friends. Our time here in Escondido is nearly at an end. We'll be here today and tomorrow, but then we'll move along to Boulder City, Nevada. We're still enjoying our time here, and we have yet to see everything on our list of things to do. Anything we don't do this trip will go on the list for next year.

My yesterday started with my slow-stitching. I've filled the hoop on this section now.

Good morning, my friends. The clouds cleared off into a beautiful and warm day yesterday. It was a good day for an outing to the San Diego Botanic Garden. We've visited the garden before, but you'll see different things at different times of the year. Before we left, I made the correction to Block 12 from the Raggedy project. I like this better:

Good morning, my friends. It was another day spent at the RV yesterday, and so I got out my sewing machine and did a little more sewing. Before that, I took the first stitches on the Sashiko piece.
