What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Yesterday I spent going from one project to another plus a couple walks in between – we had a nice day which is nice because I think it is supposed to be colder again today and over the weekend.  Have to enjoy those nice days when we can! I worked on the Love Letters applique […]

Finished!  the binding was finished on Friends Around the World yesterday morning – a bit of hand work was done yesterday as I was watching the impeachment process – I don’t usually sit so much in the daytime!  I washed and dried it none of the signatures bled so that was good and I put […]

Yesterday I didn’t really do a lot in the sewing area but I did sit and sew binding for a little in the late afternoon and I am now on the final side and hope to finish it up today a little bit while I tune in and out of the impeachment process to see […]

The Love Letters first block is glue basted and for applique – but first I want to finish the binding on Friends Around the World – I did get the second side finished and got started on the third.  I put the block up on the wall for now while I finish the binding.  I […]

With Sunday not getting above 37 degrees and no sunshine I spent a good part of the day yesterday in the sewing room working on the applique project – still prepping – there is always so much to do to get an applique  project ready before you even start the glue basting (or thread baste […]

I decided to start another project for the RSC 21 – it might never get finished LOL – but I have decided that the urge to applique something was a reason to start – these are very big blocks – 28 inch finished so they are cut to 32 inches to start and will square […]

After looking high and low for the binding strips I had put aside I couldn’t find them so chose something else and it will look just as good in my opinion.   A scrappy binding to go with such a scrappy quilt.  Here are the strips chosen – this is odd as the strips on screen […]

Off the quilting frame – I have looked high and low for the binding strips I had for it and can’t find them so I will look a little more today and if I still can’t find them some other batiks will be used.  I normally put binding strips in the basket on the top […]

One row of pineapple blocks are now pieced – 8 left to do – they actually go together quite easily only 4 seams meet up so not a lot of pinning.  I might go ahead and piece the rows together as I finish them so there won’t be so many long seams to join in […]

Sunday morning I pieced one of the star blocks I had prepped and it came together nicely – the next maybe today and then I will start on the pineapple blocks.  Even with 2 or 3 RSC quilts I will not make a dent in the pink basket In the afternoon Melanie and I met […]

I have chosen two fairly easy quilts to make for the RSC21 challenge – I’m not sure how many blocks will be made and the design layout will be an on going decision.  First up are the 2.5 inch blocks in a layout of 36 patches – two are now done these will be 12.5 […]

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge is underway for 2021 – I will be linking when the link is up to SoScrappy for the start of the color Pink – right now although I had only intended one RSC quilt this year I have decided on two and block number one is complete and pattern for number […]

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to just start this new year off fresh, new and no virus?  Well that is not going to happen so lets try to make the most of it and piece and quilt a lot of  new quilts. First though before I start much of anything new I need to get my […]

Only four blocks left to make and that is because I am not pushing it.  Two more got done yesterday but I also had time to knit, read and grocery shop.  I like to get my grocery shopping done first thing in the morning before the stores get busy and because Covid is worse in […]

I managed to get 3 more Pineapple Blocks done yesterday – that leaves 6 – I really didn’t care if I got these done before the end of the year but being so close now makes me want to do just that! The print on the blue in the middle block is this – it […]

We had another nice day yesterday so I was busier outside then in but I did get one pineapple block done and caught up on removing papers. Nine more blocks to make – then it will take me a day or two to figure out layout!  Trying to make sure color placement is right when […]

A lazy day in the sewing room – because I was barely in the sewing room until evening when I sat down to do my blog post and to quilt at the frame a little bit. I rolled Friends Around the World down a little bit and got started on another row of blocks on […]

Christmas goes so quickly doesn’t it – the build up of decorating and baking (shopping some years) and it is over in a flash.  We saw Melanie briefly the day before Christmas, Mike and  I zoomed with some of my siblings & spouses and a few of the nieces and nephews joined in if they […]

After being so busy on the Pineapple blocks the last couple days I didn’t touch them yesterday.  It was our last nice day outside for awhile and we were out clearing out some trees – we just have so many that start to grow that we will have areas with 10 small trees growing around […]

I really got busy working on removing papers yesterday from the Pineapple blocks and I got caught up and made one more – 11 left to make out of the 27 needed to finish – this is the one made today – before it got trimmed. Close up of the design, linking to Wednesday Wait […]
