What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Happy October! The leaves are turning here in Minnesota and it is stunning. Hubby and I are looking forward to a weekend up north in a week. It'll be fun to go to the northern shore of Minnesota and walk some of the trails. It'll be a nice getaway from our work at home life. We look forward to the change of scenery even though I do believe we will miss the fall colors peak up north, oh well. I have been enjoying the change of season so it is fitting that this month's block is a ...

Happy May Day! Things are greening up here in Minnesota and I'm dreaming of warm days spent in my garden. I've made a big ol' list for the greenhouse and have started seeds here at home. I'm quite proud of myself for keeping them alive so far! I invested in some grow lights and it seems to be making all the difference. I started seeds at the beginning of the whole 'lock down' thing with the help of Amazon. I sorta went into prepper mode thinking what if this lasts longer then we ...

Happy April! It has been a surreal few weeks... I've lost time and feel like I'm in the twilight zone. I can say though, quilting has been keeping me sane. I can actually relax if I'm quilting and listening to an audiobook. I'm sure I'm not alone! Many of us have been busy making facemasks, working on UFO's and actually completing them! I've enjoyed seeing the postings of last year's BOM completed by many quilters over the last couple weeks. It warms my heart to see finished quilts. This ...

Happy March! I apologize for the late posting.... I've been sidetracked with cleaning out a closet. Our oldest son's bedroom (who is all grown up and has a home of his own) had become the overflow closet so we are reclaiming the space for our exercise room....This room is full of my boys' childhood items.... old school work, pictures, games... full of memories. There's also tons of other junk too, Amazon boxes, old clothes etc. Luckily it's my husband that is going thru everything, deciding what goes to goodwill, what is boxed ...

Happy February! If you are new to the BOM here's the details.... There will be a new block design each month for a total of 12....  it will be a traditional sampler quilt. I'm planning it as a stash buster. It's based on two colors, a main color and a white/cream background color. You can choose any color for your main color, blue, red, green, anything....I'm making mine out of red fabrics. I have a lot of red Civil War fabric on hand, so that is what I'm using for ...
