What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends, although we're almost to lunch time. I think I can still avoid breaking any laws with my "good morning" wishes. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I had breakfast with my friend Sue this morning and passed off the baby quilt for her new grandson. 

Of course, I wasn't out this early, but the day started with a pretty red sunrise.

Good morning, my friends. We're still chilly here, with overnight temperatures in the 20's and daytime temp's in the 30's. We're expecting a change when the rain starts up again this weekend, but next week is looking sunny and a little warmer. We've been cold because of the east wind coming out of the Columbia Gorge, where it's always among the coldest places in the state.

It was a stay-at-home day for me. Aside from doing a little housework and taking a walk on the treadmill, it was all sewing, all the time ...

Good morning, my friends. It's hard to know what to say or where to start. To start, I'll tell you about how my day went yesterday. Like most Americans it was hard for me to concentrate on much of anything, but I managed to get in a little bit of time in the sewing room. Enough happened there to cause me to decide to return to Plan A with the "Mosaic" quilt. For now, I'll tell you about what I learned and how I'll proceed. At the end, I'll say something about the way forward ...

Good morning, my friends. When we chatted yesterday, I thought we might get a decent day of weather. Before I could even finish my slow-stitching, it was raining again, and it rained most of the day. Today is looking more promising. I'm wanting to get outside and cut back the dahlias. It's time for them to move to the garage. (My dahlias are planted in pots.) It's looking as if today's weather might be more cooperative.

And, well, rainy days are good sewing days. Of course, nothing could happen until I finished off January's block ...

Good morning, my friends. How is everyone doing out there? Many of us here in the USA are sitting on pins and needles waiting for our election season to end. Without diving into the political divide, I'll just say that I, for one, am glad to be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And I have lots of tunnels to use as examples. Here's one now...

Good morning, my friends. Yes, I'm working on "phinishing" Phenology, but it isn't phinished yet. I just couldn't resist using those words. I'll tell you about my progress in a minute, but first, I wanted you to see the view from my window as I'm writing. We're still enjoying lots of fall color in our part of the world.

There's no color editing on those photos. It really looks like that.

Good morning, my friends. My wrist was begging for a day off from quilting, and so I relented. Actually, my wrist was just an excuse. We were slow off the blocks yesterday to do our grocery shopping. After finishing yesterday's post, I went downstairs to where Mike was sitting. "We don't have to rush out the door, do we?" he asked. And that was all the whining I needed to hear to help me decide to do my slow-stitching first. So, we weren't home until after 1:30 p.m. We found the kitties sitting in solidarity ...

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday's activities made up for the previous day's inactivity. There were several things on my to-do list, and I managed to get through it all. The weeding isn't finished, and I'll have to do some more today. I think by the end of today's session, it'll be good to go until next spring. 

While I was out yesterday, I took a few pictures of the things that are still blooming. There isn't much, but the echinacea continues to brighten its corner of the garden.

Good morning, my friends. We had quite a ride yesterday. We took our Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to the limits of its capabilities and, happily, not beyond. Just think of us as two septuagenarians out for a Sunday drive. 

When we left the campground, Sadie was enjoying the morning sunshine from the table. (Kitties are not generally allowed on the table. In this small space, we signal the OK by putting a quilt out for their snoopervising comfort.)
