What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

It's the beginning of a new month already.  That means I typically look back at my goal list and think about what goes onto the next goal list.  I'm a list maker!!

Voila!  Here are the finished placemats and mug rugs that used up most of the leftover Kaffe jelly roll.  It is satisfying to see something useful made of leftovers so they don't end up increasing the quantity of scraps living in my sewing room.  The binding of 2 red/white/blue placemats and some fun mug rugs should be done today.  And there are a ...

 The March Sew Sampler box was great! 

I will use every single thing. Some months there are one or two things that I would never use. But this one was a great combination. Go over to the Jolly Jabber to see exactly what was in this special box.

This quilt has Hobbs 80/20 batting in it and ...

On Sunday night I finished one end of the NYB and was then ready  to roll the quilt down. It is always nice rolling the quilt down when you know it will be then showing the half way point clearly.  The big circle is in the center of the quilt. And this is where I […]

Another quilt I cheated on regarding the date and time received, but I knew I would be able to finish this one fast. The maker knew exactly what she wanted, and I had nothing to plan or think about.

The other reason for popping this one in early was that it made the pile in my guest bedroom look less, as I get nervous just opening the door to the room.

Now off to start the others, still waiting.

The foster group I work with is HEART Animal Rescue. I hadn’t had a dog for quite a while due to my previous job. I worked 10-hour days, and that was too long for a dog to be here by themselves. Many times I could have taken a dog with me to work, but then …

Happy April, Easter and spring are right around the corner. The days are getting longer and longer, and I look forward to working in the garden again. It's hard not to want to start cleaning up the gardens with the warmer weather. I'm just itching to go to the greenhouses!

 It's hard to believe that my second grand daughter will be a year old! The year sure flew by, and it's been so much fun watching her grow. 

 In case you are just starting the BOM, the fabric requirements are below. Everything is based on a ...

 Our theme this year, CHAOS TO CONTENTMENT!!!  I don't know about anyone else, but I have lost my way lately.  No drive, no ambition, no love of what I'm doing.  I "think" it has to do with being in a constant state of OVERWHELM!  I have not managed time well and wind up with crunch projects -which are never fun.  I've packed my list of "want to accomplish this month

 This morning, I slept in. Patrick woke me up to get ready for our BE meeting at the grange. I headed out with the quilts I wanted mom to put labels on and my stuff. 

Arrived and Geralyn was right behind me. We chatted a bit before Sandy arrived and then mom. Mom gave me a pillow that her mother made with BE. She asked me a while back if I could fix it. I told her I would. 

It's beautiful! I need to find the flower pattern for the center flower. I know one of us has the ...

I got tired of playing with red and white designs, with just one red fabric, so started this project file with assorted 9 patch blocks and two red fabrics with the white. It was also a response to my state quilter’s guild celebrating their 40th birthday.

I have a large collection of 9P designs to choose from, but i am trying not to add too many to the file for these designs.

I think the last designs is my favourite today, but will possibly change my mind when the first coffee of the morning kicks into gear properly!

My goal was to get this finished by the end of March and I made it! Some of my colors are different – maybe all of them. I used Vikki Clayton silks and I did the conversion myself. I had to change a few colors (the letters in the verse) because the sulks that were...
