What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, while showering, I had a thought about toilet paper and toilets. Weird how we think of things while in the shower! This of all things! But I found myself thinking of the past - yet again. I do miss my father!

I remembered the story my dad told me about having to go out to an "outhouse" to use the bathroom. I knew of outhouses, but thought toilets was before his birth. Guess not. Anyway, I remember him telling me that they didn't have toilet paper like they do today. When I questioned, "then what did you use ...

I had such a good day on Friday. I told you about it in my cat rescue story from last night. I was on a happy high for all the rest of Friday. It felt so good to be doing normalish things. Later in the day Carver and Gannon were dropped off at my house …

 I'm taking a blogging break as I'm off on a coach holiday for the next couple of weeks.  I write the blog on my lap top, but don't want to have to carry it around with me.  But I will be able to keep up with my blog reading on my small tablet. which will be packed away in my suit case.

And talking about packing - this was never an issue when we traveled by  by caravan, there was room for everything, and more.  I always used to pack a pile of books, my knitting bag and ...

 September wasn't my most productive month.

I started the month on a long-awaited, restful, magnificent vacation on Hilton Head Island.  I wasn't up to much walking that week, so my sister kindly sent me beach photos from her walks each evening.

Good morning, my friends. It's a happy day. My quilting project is finished and ready for binding. When I left you yesterday, I was still mulling over how to finish the outer border. I ended up doing a sort of diamond motif all the way around. It's a little hard to see, but I have the elongated diamond in the middle, and then a shorter diamond at each point.

Here's another look at that border. Sorry for the weird angle. It's sometimes hard to take a picture that ...

Wealthy Chicagoans in the Gilded Age (1890's) bought Impressionists as modern and avant-garde, and relatively inexpensive.  They were patrons of the Art Institute and thus the museum developed its Impressionist collection.

 I saved this picture a while ago.

I'm going to make 7.5 squares, backed with muslin. I cut some muslin squares. I plan to make each strip a different color family, so it will give the look of a rainbow. The longest strip will be 10 squares, and it will be blues. I'm going to stitch and flip the squares. 

I got out the scrap bins. Yikes, I didn't realize I had so many! I ...

 One day into the week and so far I've mostly stuck to the goals I set for myself for this week.  A productive morning was spent in my sewing room.  My happy place.

The binding is on my Challenge project for the guild quilt show.  I can check it off as a finish, but can't show it here until after the quilt show.
