What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Yesterday was spent cutting out star blocks and getting applique templates traced – the later of which still needs to be finished – I will start to sew them today or tomorrow as that lower star looks a bit brown in places here is a close up in better light – green with gold and […]

Well this little table runner is still in the works – I must admit that I have disliked binding this little thing to the point of not picking it up for days LOL – but yesterday I finally got started again and made headway – one or two more sessions and I should have it […]

Cutting out this quilt is going to take awhile because I get bored with that after a little bit and keep taking breaks and don’t remember to get back to it!  It will get done – one day LOL – but this tray did get a little more in it – all of the 1.7/8th […]

Yesterday I was busy cutting on the quilt kit “The Rose Garden” that I started last month and then put aside to work on my 3 RSC21 quilts that I am making and here it is almost the end of the month and I’m first getting back to the cutting – and there is a […]

I mentioned some time back that I was looking for a tote bag to stick the knitting in to take along when I have appointments and such and found one on Amazon – it finally arrived after getting lost for awhile from the bad storms.  It is a nice bag but I’m not totally happy […]

Turned out my thread worked just fine with this machine- I don’t know why it didn’t the last time I tried it.  In the afternoon I set out to get the runner machine quilted – it didn’t take long it was all straight lines that I did and no threads to tie off as I […]

I thought now that I am just about done with the applique block I needed to get Daisy Chain the table runner basted and figure out if I was hand quilting it or machine quilting it – before I get back to cutting out the quilt kit that I started a couple weeks ago The […]

Daisy Chain now has all the papers out, and is pressed ready to be finished whenever I get it basted that is.  The backing was made out of left over fabric strips that made the hexies – I had used a jelly roll and some yardage for the gray. On the table to check for […]

Well I just can’t get into Daisy Chain anymore – these stiff papers in this piece are driving me crazy – I got them from Paper Pieces back when I really thought I wanted to go big with this pattern but I find I much prefer the light paper pieces from Laundry Basket quilt – […]

Daisy Chain got a little more work done on it – nearing completion as it is a small piece – I was asked was I going to hand quilt it in a hoop or on the frame and actually I might just machine stitch this one as it is small and save my hands for […]

I got a start on my yellow February blocks for the RSC21 challenge and I really was amazed to find I didn’t have a lot to choose from in big pieces – I had enough of my 2.5 squares in my scrap box to make my 36 patch blocks but I’m going to hold off […]

Yesterday was a busy day and I managed to work on three projects before the end of the evening.  I started out with more cutting on The Rose Garden – it is coming along pretty well now and I will be taking a break from it now for just a little bit as the new […]

Quilting in the middle of Morning Glory is more interesting than quilting the borders but the straight lines in the border do add a lot to it.  But quilting in the middle goes slower for sure with all the applique pieces in it. I worked a little on Daisy Chain again – the red stands […]

Things are not changing much around here I am working on three projects and each progresses a little and I am reading a book. Morning Glory – I finished up this side I rolled it down and started on the opposite side.  While I am quilting I am watching an old mini series called Island […]

There is a lot of cutting do as I mentioned and I’m taking my time with it doing just 3 layers at time.  I have found this kit has plenty of fabric and well be some left over – unless I read the directions wrong!  We will see once piecing begins.  First through I’m getting […]

I would like to use my accuquilt  for cutting but with this new quilt “The Rose Garden” I’m going to follow the instructions so I can make sure to get the most out of the fat quarters provided in the kit – it will take a little longer probably but that is the way it […]

I realized this week that I had to get this quilt finished -- and quick -- because little lady is likely to arrive any day! So this week I did got a step or two of finishing done every day until I sewed the last stitch yesterday -- washing and pressing the backing, getting the quilt layered and basted, quilting and trimming, and finally binding!

Over the weekend, I finished up the quilt top of the Daisy Chain baby quilt I have been working on.

The best thing about baby quilt is how quickly they start coming together! This week I have been working on the star blocks of my Daisy Chain baby quilt.

For the stars, I am using the pink large scale floral print.

With a bunch of friends having babies in 2020, it's time to start making baby quilts!

The first quilt I have on my list is for a baby girl that's due in July. I made my baby sized Daisy Chain quilt for her older sister two years ago so I thought it would be a perfect choice to make the new baby the same quilt in different colors!

I pulled out a bag of fabrics left over from a quilt that I made last year (that I haven't gotten to show off yet!) that was a mish-mash ...
