What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. As I peered out the window just now, I noticed blue sky and a slight breeze. It rained hard for pretty much the whole live-long day yesterday. We got a piece of Seattle's "bomb cyclone." And, as I've already said, I think the weather people are just making stuff up now. Today I'll get outside to fill the birdfeeders for a few minutes at least. Also, I'll take a walk on the treadmill, but then it will be sewing, sewing, and more sewing.

The "Mosaic" piece is finished now. Here's your ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a grocery shopping day, but there's no rush. As I'm writing it's still dark as night outside. We'll at least wait for the sun to come up.

It was a lucky day of sewing yesterday. It was my day to add the thread work to the "Mosaic" quilt. My hope was that the thread work would bring definition to the main subject of my quilt, and in that, I was successful. It worked out better than expected. And how could I go wrong when I had so many kitty helpers ...

Good morning, my friends. Just as I wrote those words, I looked out the window to see snow falling in wet, fat flakes.

Good morning, my friends. It's looking like rain for the next week or so. There's going to be lots of sewing time, I'm afraid. I have a couple of outings planned for the coming week. Mainly, I'll be hanging out in the sewing room with the kitties.

Yesterday, I finished up the 7th of seven small stitcheries for the Girls' Getaway quilt.

Good morning, my friends. We're moving into "Sew Season," not to be confused with "Snow Season." We do get snow here, but mostly, we get rain. And, thus, "sew season." I had a couple of other things to do yesterday too. In spite of the grown-up stuff, I still had a good sewing day.

When I arrived home from my voyage into town a couple of days ago, I was dazzled by this holdout of our Autumn trees. This one is on the south side of the house. At this time of year, the sun is low on our ...

Good morning, my friends. If you read yesterday's post, then you might remember when I said this: 

If I can wish for anything  today, it will be that the rain lets up at least a little bit.

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast today...although, not too fast. I have an eye exam this morning. I get my eye exams at an optometrist office located inside a Costco store. I'm not a fan of Costco, and the only time I set foot inside the store is for my annual eye exam. Fortunately, it's in a smaller town south of downtown Portland, and so it's an easy drive. I awakened to pouring rain this morning. We've received almost a full inch of rain in the past 24 hours. If I can wish ...

Good morning, my friends. It's been raining almost steady here for the past several days. During a lull in the downpour yesterday, I opened the door for the kitties and noticed all the leaves and pine needles littering our deck.

Here's how it looked yesterday.

Sad, isn't it? It's been a beautiful fall season, and we've enjoyed some decent weather well into the month of November. I'm afraid that's over now, and we'll settle into our web-footed ...

Good morning, my friends. It rained here for most of the day yesterday. We've had a nice fall, and the leaves have stayed on the trees until the bitter end. After this most recent rain, I notice they're mostly gone now. I'm afraid we're heading into the period I refer to as the "Big Dark." Ordinarily, we'd be thinking about when to head south, but we're staying home this winter. With our trip to Alaska planned for the end of next May, we're going to brave the cold and wet weather this year ...

Good morning, my friends. Happy Monday to you! It's going to be a good sewing day here. Yesterday's sewing efforts went so much more smoothly than the day before. It's amazing how much easier things are when you do them the right way. Have you noticed that?

My day started with slow-stitching, as always. I took the first stitches on the fourth design for the Girls' Getaway quilt.
