What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Back to work at the sewing machine yesterday and the two day headache was finally gone.  So glad that doesn’t happen often.  I got one more row sewed onto Flying Pansies – 6 rows done and 3 hanging the side – I got tired of having to move the bottom row when I needed to […]

Hexies  – progressed a little bit – all the black pieces are done – neutral half way I think. One more row on the Flying Pansies is done – 4 rows left.  Linking to Patchwork & Quilting Quilting on English Ivy from Thursday night Instead of the very large New York Beauty next up on […]

Our month long dry spell finally came to an end Wednesday night and we got a little over an inch of rain and more coming later in the week and next week – I think the weather finally changed course.  We had a bit of wind too – but not bad here but in Northwest […]

I did a lot of block piecing yesterday and all of the blocks in Flying Pansies are now ready to sew the Y-seam rows.  I don’t know how long it will take but now that all the individual blocks are together maybe it will go faster.  The rows are pinned to the wall to keep […]

Finally got back to the sewing machine.   I have one more row of Y seams done and one more row ready to sew today.  These rows of Flying Pansies are now back up on the wall so I could quilt last night. The last row is pieced but not attached. Some thread basting done on […]

I got 2 more rows (3 and 4) of blocks sewn into rows but they are not attached to the two rows I did the Y seams on the other day – maybe some today?  I’m not sure what all I am doing at this point although I do want to work in the garden […]

Some of you have said you wouldn’t make a quilt that needs Y Seams that you think they are too hard to do and they take too much time.  They aren’t that hard to do but yes you do not rush it – you do take your time.    I got started piecing Flying Pansies yesterday.  […]

All the pieces are now sewed and appliqued – I’m ready to sew blocks into rows and then the long rows together.  First I went and voted Then after lunch I went outside to work on the garden and got some work done and Mike got another wagon load of mulch ready for me to […]

I went outside intending to put in a lot of work in the garden and just couldn’t after getting the wagon emptied of mulch I could not kneel down on the ground and work on the strawberry bed – maybe today but maybe not until tomorrow – I was just too sore.  I spent the […]

Yesterday a lot got done in the garden – of course now my right hand is aching a bit from arthritis but such is life – you live with it.  Hopefully I can keep up working almost every day in the garden to get it ready for winter.  I have one and a half strawberry […]

I have been showing this one a lot lately I know – I am trying hard to get all the hexagons done so I can piece it all together and get something else on the design wall.  Five of the remaining seven done – They are now sitting in the living room for me to […]

I really didn’t do a lot yesterday.  I did get the 3 Flying Pansies blocks finished that I had started and the circles are now appliqued in place. One more row to do and that will be the final 7 and then 8 half ones  I believe – linking to Patchwork and Quilting — English […]

I like color.  Right now the sewing room is colorful from the table to the design wall to the quilting frame.  Even the thread cabinet is colorful – it inspires you I think. So yesterday I got 3 more flying pansies ready to press and add circles to and that will leave me with 7 […]

The temperature is dropping as I type this thank goodness as it was 90 again for the second day in a row. But windows were open last night and it is cool again –  amazing how that happens.  But we are still in our dry spell – no rain since sometime in the last week […]

I was aching a bit still from working in the garden so no outside work yesterday. Today we are running to Sam’s in the next town over to restock the freezer and I imagine depending on the time we go there will be lunch or supper out and whatever else we think we need when […]

It was a busy day between working outside off and on all day and in the sewing room to get some Pansies done – I was busy. First the Flying Pansies – I got a stack of 5 done over the last couple of days, and got them pressed and circles ready for applique to […]

Work went slowly yesterday in the sewing projects as I have been outside a lot this week – it has been very nice out there and yesterday I began to get plants ready to be brought back in the house.  It might start being a little to chilly for tropical plants to be outside overnight […]

I had errands to run that took up a good chunk of the morning and I was so very tired from a poor nights sleep that I didn’t get done with much yesterday.  I hope all my Florida readers will be doing ok and that those that needed to evacuate didn’t wait until the last […]

I did get some hand work done and two Flying Pansies blocks by machine (I hand applique the circles)  three more rows need and all the side pieces to square up.  Linking to  Monday Musings and Design Wall Monday Quilting on English Ivy from Saturday night – I missed one half circle that I needed […]

I worked on Flying Pansies once again – I didn’t sew as many blocks as I do sometimes but four more got done.  Linking to Life in Pieces – can you get in 15 minutes of stitching a day? Usually I do more but sometimes that is all I do too. After the applique circle […]
