What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Patchwork Times is moving! The new location and name:  Diary of Judy L and you can find me here. For some reason, even though it appears to be a working link, it may not be linking so you can find me here:  https://diaryofjudyl.blogspot.com/ Patchwork Times will remain here (I think) until the sometime in the...

No, it isn’t time for an Easter egg hunt! All of my sources of eggs have not had eggs in forever. I finally ran out of eggs and bought some at Aldi Thursday. This morning I started to fix breakfast and realized all I had were some not so great grocery store eggs. There are...

If you don’t like seeing slithering creatures, you may want to stop reading . . though I think the one and only photo below is not bad or scary. The story I’m about to tell is scary or, for me it was. I’m still shaking. I only grew a few sweet potatoes this year and...

Recently I read that making sourdough bread, slicing it, freezing it, then defrosting as needed and toasting it reduces the glycemic spike response.  I am not a doctor, have zero medical training but did a bit of research and I kinda feel like freezing and then defrosting and toasting ALL bread  may make a difference....

I had one jar of the Chipotle Beef Soup that had siphoned a bit so I decided to have that for dinner. The first bite and I realized I had made a mistake! Previously, when I made this soup, I put one of the Chipotle peppers in each pint jar. This time, I put two...

First, the new roof is done! Those roofers worked like crazy. They were here at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Wednesday, they worked til 9:30 p.m. Thursday they worked til about 1 p.m. Tomorrow (Friday), I don’t have to worry about getting dressed and walking the dogs before the roofers arrive. We still have...

I’ve started this post at least five times. Each time, I’ve deleted it all because it either sounds like I’m being a drama queen or feeling sorry for myself. I don’t think it’s either of those things .. First – the dentist visit. Some will remember in Texas I went to a dentist for a...

Sorry to have been missing for several days. There’s so much going on with the blog (not good) right now.  The lady who helps solve problems has done some improvements. I’m wondering if, with all the years of blogging, it may be just too “heavy” and I’ve been thinking that maybe once the year is...

This is not a rant. I find it comical, and a bit sad. Prices continue to rise, service seems to get worse. I will say, as I always say, I don’t have a clue how they get any packages delivered on time. I have a hard time going to the grocery store, buying what’s on...

For what it’s worth (not much I’m sure) . . do not ever buy a refrigerator in July probably not in June, July, August or September if you live where summers are hot and humid. The loaner fridge is going to be picked up tomorrow so I had to finish cleaning it out and even...

Edit to Add: I have found some of the posts but cannot get them to post so if they start showing up . . don’t think I’ve completely lost my mind! I probably have though.

Today I had the best experience at the dentist! A friend here recommended a dentist in Joplin. When I went to see him a month or so ago, he told me I needed a good bit of dental work. You may remember that I had two crowns put on in Texas. I had expected one;...

Vince found this article about a bank in Oronogo, MO that was robbed by Bonnie & Clyde in 1932. I found it interesting and thought some of you might. We drove by the site yesterday afternoon, it’s probably three miles from our house. My grandma would tell me stories about Bonnie and Clyde. The two...

I wish I didn’t feel like I have to say this but I do so I will. This is NOT virtue signaling. I understand that there are less expensive ways/places to buy food, but compared to eating out, buying food directly from the producer and cooking/eating at home is still less expensive in most cases....

Yesterday I picked a few things out of the garden. The potatoes in the colander – they were Yukon Gold from Sam’s Club and a couple of them had sprouted. I had three 5 gallon buckets that I had used for growing tomatoes last year so I cut off the sprouts and stuck two of...

Time spent in the kitchen, the garden and cross stitching or knitting is all about on an equal level. I love doing all those things. I feel like cross stitching gives me more to show for my effort. Knitting is a bit slower and looking at a half finished knitting project doesn’t excite me as...

We all probably agree that as we get older, time seems to fly by so quickly. This morning I woke up and while I was still there in bed, I thought to myself . . is today Tuesday? No. Can’t be. I went to Nevada yesterday to stitch with Debbie so today has to be...

These last few days have been busy and time has flown by. I can hardly believe it’s Friday . . seems like yesterday was Monday. Today we have a G.E. rep coming by to look at our fridge. Good timing . . the freezer has completely stopped working and the fridge is hanging at a...

Most all of my days are really good but today has been super good. First, I had mentioned that I hadn’t been able to find info about one of my dad’s siblings and my very long time friend, Sheryl, sent me a link to this site that she uses for ancestry type searches. This was...

I’m not complaining. I think this is sad but funny. Here are some recent examples of packages headed here: The one above went from Kansas City to Springfield to Kansas City to Springfield. Still has not arrived here. I don’t even remember where this package was coming from but it went to St. Louis, which...
