What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. I got lucky with the weather for yesterday's outing again. Despite having entered the "Big Dark" season, it was a dry and sunny day. Sunglasses were required. That's three for three in a single week. This being our 46th year in the Pacific Northwest, I'm not naive enough to think this will continue, but I certainly appreciate it when it happens. 

The spa where I get my pedicures is a new building. There's still construction going on all around it, but the landscaping at the spa is beautiful. I was surprised to ...

Good morning, my friends. Finally, it's the day we've been waiting for...the reveal of my mystery quilt for the "Spices" prompt. Maybe it's not the day you've been waiting for, but I'm always happy when I can finally show these secret projects.

Okay, so "Spices." I wanted to do something floral. I couldn't figure out any other subject that wouldn't involve a line of jars. One idea was to do the flower from whence we obtain vanilla. It's a pretty flower. Here's one I found in the Openverse.

Good morning, my friends. Two projects made it to the next step yesterday. I'll tell you about that in a minute. First, I want to show you this morning's pretty sky. We're expecting rain by tomorrow, and so we're enjoying the blue sky while we can.

Good morning, my friends. Once again, I'm so happy not to be going anywhere this morning. There are a couple of little things on my to-do list, but otherwise, it's going to be a mostly quilting day (MQD). I can't spend too much time at my quilting because I don't want to give myself tendonitis in my wrist. And even as I write those words, I know my resistance is weak once I get started on something. When I'm in a rhythm, it's hard to stop.

Good morning, my friends. It's dark as I'm writing this, although the sky is pinking up nicely. We're expecting another nice fall day here.

Good morning, my friends. It's a lovely October day here in the Pacific Northwest. I told Mike yesterday I think this is the best time of the year here. On the other hand, I say that about all the seasons, with the possible exception of winter. On the other, other hand, I'm actually happy with the winter rain and snow. It's good sewing weather. The darkness is my only beef with winter weather. 

The dahlias are making the most of their final days. As I've mentioned, the Firefighter dahlia is the most watched thing in the ...

Good morning, my friends. It's Friday morning...the weekend is almost here! Of course, in retirement, every day is Saturday. There are no days off. Just Saturday...day in and day out. We're feeling liberated right at the moment because we got our grocery shopping done yesterday, and so we're good for another week.

When we got home from our grocery shopping expedition, it was time to fill the birdfeeders. While we were gone...just two weeks...the birds left the scene. I'm sure some of them have flown south, but I was still surprised that ...

Good morning, my friends. Yesterday's activities made up for the previous day's inactivity. There were several things on my to-do list, and I managed to get through it all. The weeding isn't finished, and I'll have to do some more today. I think by the end of today's session, it'll be good to go until next spring. 

While I was out yesterday, I took a few pictures of the things that are still blooming. There isn't much, but the echinacea continues to brighten its corner of the garden.

Good morning, my friends. Happily, I'm sitting at my desk at home to write this post. How are y'all doing? It's been a while since we've spoken while stationary. Feels weird, doesn't it?

So lemme tell you about the drive home, and then I'll tell you what's going to happen next. We left Klamath Falls under sunny skies. The road out of Klamath Falls runs alongside Upper Klamath Lake. It's the largest body of fresh water by surface area in Oregon. It is approximately 25 miles (40 km) long and 8 miles ...
