What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. Santa comes tonight. I'm pretty sure he's not bringing me anything. We don't even have a chimney, so he'd have to break down the door to get inside anyway. Maybe I'll just turn out the lights. Better safe than sorry. I've warned the kitties about the reindeer, and they're keeping an eagle eye out.

Yeah...that's an old picture, but it's one of my favorites of Smitty. He'd just seen the bobcat that sometimes roams around here.

So it was a day of cooking yesterday, and ...

Good morning, my friends. The clock is ticking down. Are you ready? Except for two days of cooking ahead of me, I'm ready. We learned we had an extra guest coming for dinner last night, and so Mike has volunteered to sacrifice himself to the gods of grocery today. We only need a couple of things to supplement what I already have, but geez. Better him than me. It's one of those times when we'll be grateful for self check-out.

Good morning, my friends. I hope y'all are ready for the holidays. If you have to go out today, you have my sympathy. We're as ready as we can be here, but there's still lots of cooking to be done before we're finished. Certainly it could be worse. 

I had a long list of to-do's yesterday morning. It was hard to know where to start. I decided to start with the quilt binding. Smitty was there to help out.

Good morning, my friends, and Happy Winter Solstice! The days are going to get brighter and longer from here. How is everyone doing on this first day of winter? I am feeling mighty fine after finishing the quilting on Calendula Patterdrip's Cottage yesterday. And I'm happy to say I had no wrist pain whatsoever for the duration of this quilting project. It seems I've found the solution to that aggravation.

Obviously, I owe any of yesterday's success to my hard-working cats. Smitty ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a Red Letter Day. I believe I'll finish the quilting for Calendula Patterdrip's Cottage today. My binding strips are already cut, and I'm getting ready for a good old-fashioned sit and stitch binding session. The kitties really like it when we can stitch a binding.

Good morning, my friends. I'm afraid the Christmas madness is causing my battery to discharge more quickly and easily than usual. Yesterday's outing was for a haircut, and then I stopped at the grocery store on my way home. Christmas dinner will be at our house this year, and I wanted to pick up a few things I needed. I'll have to go again tomorrow to pick up the things that need a few more days in order to stay fresh for next week's meal. The weather was clear enough the kitties were able to get ...

Good morning, my friends. Well, I'd say it's a near miracle...or a "nearicle," if you will. My elbow feels 100% this morning. When I wrote yesterday, I'd only just taken some naproxen, hoping it would ease the pain and stiffness. I could barely lift my coffee cup, and you know...life is barely worth living if there's no coffee. 

After finishing my post here, I took a short nap, and then did my slow stitching. I gave myself a day off from most everything. By afternoon, my elbow was feeling pretty good. By evening, there ...

Good morning, my friends. It's Moanday. Let me get the day started off right by moaning about my elbow. I might have seen this coming, but then...I probably need to clean my glasses more often.

Good morning, my friends. It was a soggy day yesterday. It rained the whole live-long day. It doesn't really matter to me. It's too cold to be outside anyway. We've had some beautiful weather this fall, and so we can hardly complain now that it's doing what we should have expected all along. It's definitely good sewing weather.

Since I'd missed my slow-stitching the day before, I spent a little extra time on that yesterday morning.

Good morning, my friends, and happy Saturday. I've realized that Saturday is probably my favorite day of the week. Generally, I give myself a day off from housekeeping chores. Ordinarily, I made breakfast for the two of us every day, but I've taken Saturday off for a long time. So, Saturday is my day to do only what I feel like doing. As you might guess, sewing is usually involved. Today I'll get in a Bowflex workout, but otherwise, it will be NBS. Maybe I'll bake some muffins.
