Good morning, my friends, and Happy Winter Solstice! The days are going to get brighter and longer from here. How is everyone doing on this first day of winter? I am feeling mighty fine after finishing the quilting on Calendula Patterdrip's Cottage yesterday. And I'm happy to say I had no wrist pain whatsoever for the duration of this quilting project. It seems I've found the solution to that aggravation.

Obviously, I owe any of yesterday's success to my hard-working cats. Smitty ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a Red Letter Day. I believe I'll finish the quilting for Calendula Patterdrip's Cottage today. My binding strips are already cut, and I'm getting ready for a good old-fashioned sit and stitch binding session. The kitties really like it when we can stitch a binding.

Good morning, my friends. I'm afraid the Christmas madness is causing my battery to discharge more quickly and easily than usual. Yesterday's outing was for a haircut, and then I stopped at the grocery store on my way home. Christmas dinner will be at our house this year, and I wanted to pick up a few things I needed. I'll have to go again tomorrow to pick up the things that need a few more days in order to stay fresh for next week's meal. The weather was clear enough the kitties were able to get ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast this morning. I'm getting my haircut, and so my morning is starting early. Thankfully, my elbow has given me no more trouble. Weird how that stuff happens, and then disappears as quickly as it appeared. So I was back to my usual sewing routine yesterday. I'll continue to avoid the Bowflex for a few more days, but I have no more complaints.

Quilting continues on Calendula Patterdrip's Cottage. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've turned the quilt 180° now, and so I'm sewing upside-down for ...

Good morning, my friends. It's Moanday. Let me get the day started off right by moaning about my elbow. I might have seen this coming, but then...I probably need to clean my glasses more often.

Good morning, my friends. It was a soggy day yesterday. It rained the whole live-long day. It doesn't really matter to me. It's too cold to be outside anyway. We've had some beautiful weather this fall, and so we can hardly complain now that it's doing what we should have expected all along. It's definitely good sewing weather.

Since I'd missed my slow-stitching the day before, I spent a little extra time on that yesterday morning.

Good morning, my friends, and happy Saturday. I've realized that Saturday is probably my favorite day of the week. Generally, I give myself a day off from housekeeping chores. Ordinarily, I made breakfast for the two of us every day, but I've taken Saturday off for a long time. So, Saturday is my day to do only what I feel like doing. As you might guess, sewing is usually involved. Today I'll get in a Bowflex workout, but otherwise, it will be NBS. Maybe I'll bake some muffins.

Good afternoon, my friends. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we had grocery shopping to do this morning; thus, the lateness of my arrival here. You guys have probably already finished your coffee. I'm only on my second of three cups. If I seem a little addled, just know I'll improve with the addition of caffeine. Maybe by the end of this post, I'll even be able to speak coherently. A nap can't hurt either.

There wasn't a lot of time for quilting yesterday. Mike was busy taking measurements on my machine in order ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a pretty lackluster day yesterday. The weather was nice enough, but the rain set in late in the day, and it will be with us for a while. No matter. It's too cold to be outside anyway. Watching the weather through my window as I'm quilting is enough for me.

My morning started with the first stitches for "Making a Daisy Chain." I expect I'll finish this today.

Knowing I'd be needing something new to stitch, I traced the next block for A Year in the Garden. This is February ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a run-around day yesterday, and so I made scant progress on my quilting project. Before I left home, I finished stitching the "Walk the Dog," block for The Story of My Day quilt. I just love these primitive drawings from Anni Downs.
