What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning,  I was up and playing my games. Ron called outside our yard, to let me know he was waiting on me. He was chatting with his son on the phone, the whole time. We only did 3 laps today because it was so hot.

Patrick wasn't doing good today, so he slept most of the day. I went into the computer room to clean up my pile from the vacation. 

I pulled out my beading boxes and added the new stuff to it. My mystery box beads were put in tubes and filed in the boxes.

I ...

Oh, what a huge disappointment! Yes, they smoothed out the ruts without adding fill, but they did not add pavement to those parts. 

No extra pavement in the forest!

Thick pavement!!!!

Island Batik's August Challenge is simple. Make a mini quilt using the fabrics and techniques of your choice in a size not to exceed 24" on any side.

Here is my response #1

Goddess Lakshmi's Feet

It is a simple response to a simple challenge. If you are familiar with Hindu culture, this image needs no explanation. But I want to explain so please humor me.

Goddess Lakshmi is often called the Goddess of Wealth, but that is not entirely correct. She is the Goddess of Prosperity. The difference may seem subtle, but Prosperity includes well-being and happiness ...

This morning, I woke to putting the 2 breads in the oven to bake. I realized I should have let it rise one more time, but decided the heck with it. They came out good anyway. I took on to moms for lunch, and was surprised at how much was eaten at lunchtime. 

Before heading to moms, I had to stop at the museum for a $75 check for membership. I gave Sam all the stuff and had an envelope that she could mail out with everything in it. 

Got to moms around 11 am which turned out a couple ...

I haven’t opened this project for years, but thought I would bring it back into the spotlight today, as I have a yearning for lovely fresh strawberries. Unfortunately, I will have to wait a while as it is too cold for strawberries to bear fruit at this time of the year here.

Enough to make my mouth water!

 Hello Everyone,

I'm making small clusters of flowers for my latest project. To enhance the 'cuteness factor', I've chosen to incorporate a handstitched buttonhole stitch rather than using a machine.

 This morning Patrick head to golfing, and I headed to moms. I wanted to be early because we had a war game on at the time I usually leave for her place. I stopped and got her some tea. 

Got to moms and she had a few things she wanted me to do for her. I tried to play my game. Then I had to play again later. Too funny. 

I worked on the block I have been working on while there. I have decided I am going to do back basting next time. Even if I have to cut ...

These designs are a combination of ideas for stained glass, which have a design within the glass, and leadlight, which has pieces of coloured glass separated, and held together, by strips of lead.

They would look great made in fabric, but I dream of making one of these from glass! I think I have left that idea a bit late … should have got a job with a professional glass worker when I left school over 55 years ago!

Quilting

If life wasn't busy enough, I took 10 days and went to my daughters in Oklahoma. She had almost all of the days planned and then of course, there's a granddaughter there! Um., yeah. Quilting took the back seat in a hurry!

All the baskets are done
