What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I thought I would be getting done with more seeing as I am staying at home but I am finding so far this is not so because I am on the computer too much and social media!!  I have to find a line and draw it so I will get projects done. On Wednesday night […]

Yesterday I filled the last prescription that needed to be filled and ran into town to get it and grab a few more things – when I went the store didn’t have many people – I heard later it got busy.  I just needed my meds, vitamins etc and I was on to Lowe’s where […]

That’s right – try to make the most of your time at home and make progress on your quilts and whatever you are doing – whether that be paint the walls in your house (daughter Jessica is planning to start today) or crochet, knit – or Quilt!!  Get flowers planted if you were able to […]

In my world I could repeat my day every day and just replace the projects that I work on (and sometimes it is the same one) – I get up, I make my coffee, I sit at the computer and get caught up on mail, blogs, news – get breakfast, and then finally look things […]

I did venture outside for a walk and took some photos of plants growing, but it was so cloudy and chilly the photos are not great.  Rain off and on all week – we could use some sun again. A star block was cut out and completed – six more to go!  This one was […]

Slow Sunday Stitching – well I have quite a few projects to work on to join Kathy and the gang for a slow positive way to relax on Sunday — Crochet more on the Dahlia blanket – even if I only do two or four rows it will get done. a little more knitting in […]

I must admit to being distracted this past week due to the world events and have not been getting much done – yesterday I did nothing but be consumed with chatting on line with family and blog friends about what is going on in the world and picking up last minute things at the store.  […]

I could start out the blog saying how crazy the world has become – mass panic at the groceries stores, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and bottled water disappearing off the shelves quicker than it can be restocked – but instead we will concentrate on sewing & quilting and how nice it is to sit on […]

Ok guys this sounds crazy but the weather channel said we might get up to 80 degrees today – I kind of doubt it but it is more and more staying in the 60’s but 80?  we will see. I was planting little plants in pots yesterday, did a little crochet and knitting but spent […]

Yesterday morning I put together one more Christmas Country Charmer block for the quilt I am calling A Charming Country Christmas – the Country Charmer quilt is designed by Lynn Wilder from Sew’n Wild Oaks.  If you look up the pattern on Lynn’s site you will see what the whole pattern looks like – I […]

I could have gotten done with so much more than I did yesterday – but I just didn’t feel like it!!  I felt like taking a break – in the morning I sat and knitted while watching a show I had recorded.  I normally do not sit and watch tv in the daytime! In the […]

My blog friend Paola from Milano Italy saw that I asked how she was doing and got in touch – she and her family are fine and none of their acquaintances are sick.  She is in Northern Italy though so they are in the “locked down zone”  they have to stay put in their region […]

The house needed to be cleaned what can I say – not much in the sewing room.  I think I was busy all morning, laundry, washing the kitchen floor, vacuuming, and the dreaded dusting!  One room done on that and all of the ceiling fans!!  but that meant no sewing room stuff.  I did get […]

No matter what kind of nice weather I have outside I almost always pick up a needle – quilting, knitting, or hook at some time of the day – even if it is for only 15 minutes while I am waiting for something to cook on the stove.  Do you do that too I wonder?  […]

The second aqua block for the RSC20 challenge is done – I am only doing one RSC quilt this year – My second Country Charmer block – I will post all together on Saturday when the link up is. There is one Christmas color block ready to sew  – the Christmas version I named A […]

One aqua block done for the RSC for March – one more to go – I hope to get the second one done today. together with the others on the wall – there will be sashing in between the blocks and nine patch blocks – in the end it will be about 60 x 70 […]

I decided to get my aqua colors out yesterday morning to start playing with them to see what I have for the two blocks of each color that I am doing.  Plenty to choose from. Then I remembered that from last years aqua colors I had cut some 1.5 inch pieces and 2.5 also and […]

Well my plans for being out on the porch enjoying the weather yesterday didn’t work out – chilly wind, cloudy – didn’t see the sun once – it was near 60 most of the day but the wind made it feel cooler, other than filling up the bird feeder and going grocery shopping with Melanie […]

When it gets up to 64 degrees on the last day of February you better believe I am outside most of the day and I was.  I had the rake in hand and I was clearing out dead leaves from around flower beds and iris plants.  Then I got the lawn mower out and I […]

The border is now on Alaska and I decided to make it bed size not wall size.  I managed to find two of the colors used in the quilt from the Fat Quarter Shop and one fabric from Missouri Star Quilt Company!  So I will leave it up on the wall for awhile and when […]
