What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good afternoon, my friends. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we had grocery shopping to do this morning; thus, the lateness of my arrival here. You guys have probably already finished your coffee. I'm only on my second of three cups. If I seem a little addled, just know I'll improve with the addition of caffeine. Maybe by the end of this post, I'll even be able to speak coherently. A nap can't hurt either.

There wasn't a lot of time for quilting yesterday. Mike was busy taking measurements on my machine in order ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a pretty lackluster day yesterday. The weather was nice enough, but the rain set in late in the day, and it will be with us for a while. No matter. It's too cold to be outside anyway. Watching the weather through my window as I'm quilting is enough for me.

My morning started with the first stitches for "Making a Daisy Chain." I expect I'll finish this today.

Knowing I'd be needing something new to stitch, I traced the next block for A Year in the Garden. This is February ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a run-around day yesterday, and so I made scant progress on my quilting project. Before I left home, I finished stitching the "Walk the Dog," block for The Story of My Day quilt. I just love these primitive drawings from Anni Downs.

Good morning, my friends. It looks as if our weather will clear up a day earlier than expected. I'm looking out my window at bright daylight and blue skies. You can't ask for more than that in Oregon in December. It has been chilly. Recently I realized I was going to need to start wearing my heavier winter coat. My Gore-Tex rain parka is no longer doing the job of keeping me warm.

So just what's going on around here? Well...I finished stitching the last block for Joy in the Ordinary.

Good morning, my friends. Don't let that title fool you. It's all good. I'll tell you what I meant by that in a minute. First off...it's wet outside. The promised rain has returned. It's supposed to be a wet weekend, but sunny by Monday. That's weather I can live with, but I expect it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. We haven't even reached winter yet, my friends, although it might feel as if it's here to many of you.

So when we left off yesterday ...

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. A "getaway day" would have been nice. I'm afraid the farthest we were able to "getaway" to was the grocery store in town. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, every Tuesday is senior discount day at our store, and so it's a happening place on Tuesdays for the time being. I'd like to say that it's snappy and vibrant, but then...seniors. Whaddaya gonna do? And the worst part of it is actually being one of the seniors. Oh well. It's the price one pays for getting older...being a senior, that is ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a grocery shopping day, and so I'm writing fast this morning. It's another frosty morning. We'll be bundling up to venture out into the cold, cold world. 

It was a fairly productive day yesterday. Lately I've been echoing Pennsylvania's Governor Shapiro who is fond of saying he "gets sh*t done." That's GSD to you. And that summarizes my day yesterday. I GSD. Maybe I'll just start writing in acronyms from now on. Figuring out what I'm talking about could be a good brain exercise. And ...

Good morning, my friends. It's another frosty and chilly morning today. It looks like we're going to be enjoying these cold and sunny days for most of the week. Smitty took one look outside yesterday and then sat beside me waiting for me to open the door. He looks so expectant, doesn't he?
