What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends, although I'm almost too late to say "good morning." We were up and out early to do some running around. Mike and I left in separate cars, but met up at the McDonald's in town for our beloved Egg McMuffins. Then, he had a doctor's appointment (nothing serious), and I did a short grocery shopping trip to pick up the items I'd need for pasta sauce. After that, I headed to the farmers' to pick up 40 lbs. of beautiful Roma tomatoes. You're going to make a lovely pasta sauce, my ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a new week. Are you feeling refreshed? We had a quiet but busy week last week. We were both feeling a little rickety last night. Aside from the usual household chores and sewing, I pulled a bucket of weeds. That means lots of sitting down and getting up again, which is at least as tiring as the task itself. Mike kindly installed drip irrigation for the dahlias and the hanging petunia baskets. It occurred to me that someone would need to be around to water the dahlias when we leave on our September trip ...

There was plenty accomplished yesterday, but nothing at the sewing machine. The only sewing I accomplished consisted of slow-stitching the name and place for the latest Shop Hop quilt. This one is from our visit to Sedona a couple of years ago, when we stopped off in nearby Cottonwood to see Quilter's Corners and Bernina Too. Sadie stitched along with me.

Earlier in the morning, I'd visited the Beaverton farmers market with Erik and Mae. I scored most everything I wanted, but no carrots, and they were ...

 It was a busy day yesterday with plenty on the agenda. As much fun as it was, I'm looking forward to a quiet day at home today. The rain has gone for the day, at least. I want to get out and fill the birdfeeders and then just bask in the sunshine for a bit. It's chilly, so the "basking" will be short-lived.

My day started with slow stitching. I was able to finish off the quilt block on the barn, and I stitched a little more of the barn. Today I'll focus on the tree and ...

Yesterday I spent the whole live-long day in the kitchen. I was a tired pup when I was finished. Usually, I spread the pasta sauce over two days, but I did all of it yesterday. It made for a lot of time on my feet. When I was finished, I had nine quarts of deliciousness.

The day didn't go exactly as planned yesterday, but it was so nice to take another day off from canning. As I mentioned, Mike and I made a trip into town. We first stopped off at Working Hands Farm to pick up 40 pounds of tomatoes. They grow the most beautiful tomatoes. Here's one box of 20 pounds. And there's another just like it.

The tomatoes are going to get turned into pasta sauce and salsa, and ...

There isn't much to say about yesterday. It was a driving around and grocery shopping day. It was 2:00 p.m. by the time I got home. I had some lunch, and then took a cue from Sadie. The two of us had a nice afternoon nap together.

It was a full day of quilting, and I had a lot of help from my kitty friends. There was a break after every go-round of the quilt, and so I would estimate that quilting and breaks were about equal in time. Kitties are excellent timers in this regard. When they demand treats, it's a good time for a break.

There was no time for quilting yesterday. There might have been time had I not fallen down on the couch, not to get up again until I'd taken a good long nap. Being out and about is exhausting, especially at this time of the year. I got my hair cut and colored. Then I filled my gas tank and headed for the grocery store. While there, I scored this year's Christmas tree. You might remember our tree from last year. We didn't win the award for the Charlie Browniest tree ever (point of clarification...there is no ...

Yesterday's sewing day consisted of sewing together block after block of the Mulligan Stew quilt. This was all done under the watchful and faithful catsultation with the Catmittee on Quilt Construction. Smitty is the Chairpurrson of the Catmittee.
