What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I have been sewing like crazy but most has been for gifts.  I will show a few things I have made that I can show.  I don't think the people I made them for read my blog so I should be safe, LOL. I made another Nightingale quilt using the Dorothy's Journey fabric.  I just finished binding it!  I have not taken a photo of the finished quilt yet though.  Michigan weather has NOT been cooperating

Chris was taking out the garbage and happened to look up and guess who was in the tree?  Our owl!!  I followed her as she flew down the way, hoping to get some good shots. Then, I was taking Cole for a walk on his harness and leash when I happened to look down and see this Luna Moth.  I think he was in the process of dying as the bottom was shriveling up.  My daughter told me they are born

My life has been pretty uneventful lately but I have been sewing and doing lots of other fun life stuff.I was sewing the other day and Cole was "helping" me.  It was so cute, he had his paw on the bed of my machine like "hey, pay attention to me!"We spent some time at the farm this past weekend.  Visiting with the pea fowl.  I love how beautiful Orion is.  He is a purple peacock.Then there is the

I am so thrilled that we have finally made it to day 84 of observation.  Tomorrow starts the first day of the rest of Cole's life!!!Look at this big goofball.He is never far from wherever I am.I think he knows.We go to the specialty vet on Thursday for his final labwork. We all want to thank you for all your prayers and donations to make his recovery possible.~XOP~

I'm just popping on here to let you all know the good news about Cole.  His 3 month blood work came back NORMAL!  This allowed us to go into the observation phase for the next 84 days!  Keep your fingers crossed that all stays stable for him.  No more shots!  We are BOTH happy about that.  I want to take a minute to thank each and every one of you that prayed, sent good thoughts and donated to

Now that I have finished all my animals (oh wait, I haven't shared the procupines have I?)  OK, so here are the porcupines.  The spikes are not how they are supposed to be and where they join up to the head unit isn't perfect but DONE is better than perfect, right?So my porcupines have rogue spikes.  Real life porcupines aren't perfectly symmetrical are they?I'm just happy that I can move on

I want to do a quick post on Cole.  I have given him his injections now for 9 days.  We have 84 days total to do.  He is such a trooper about getting his shots!  After each shot he "angry eats".  He is eating better and acting more like himself, if not even MORE loving than before.  As you can see in this photo he is still quite thin.He is much more alert and himself for sure.  You can see his

This past weekend should have been a fun time out with my husband and the boys.  Instead it was a weekend full of lots of anxiety as I was working through all the information I received on Thursday at the vet.On Thursday, Cole stopped eating.  He has always been a fussy eater but he finally stopped.  He had gotten so thin and I was worried that he might have some kind of blockage.  My regular

I had this quilt all finished in February. It just needed the binding.   Cole decided it was time to put the binding on. Now this beauty is all finished. It has a label and everything! I was gifted this fabric and decided to play around with a new to me technique. The blog I got it from no longer has it posted. If you follow this link you can see how to make the blocks. It

Just a quick note, many of you know my family history but if not, briefly, my older sister was born developmentally delayed with cataracts on both eyes.   They removed the cataracts but did not implant a lens (it was before they did that, I guess).   She developed Schizophrenia and Bi-Polar at age 13.   She currently lives in an AFC home with really good people.   That being said, she fell

Hi friends!  I am so sorry that I have not posted in awhile.   Sometimes life just gets busy.   I have not been in the mood to sew of late so there has not been much to show.   I know I talk about my life too but nothing very exciting has been happening there either, LOL. I needed to make a pillow cover for my friend, Traci's, quilt shop (Something Quilty).   I made the Tribute Star
