What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. Isn't is great when the holidays are over? I like spending time with family and eating good food as much as the next person, but geez. I always reach January 2nd feeling as if I'm on holiday overload. I'll be glad to have the roads and stores less busy, and I'll be glad not to be making preparations for the next celebratory thing. Of course, there's lots to do between now and then, but I know my thoughts are going to be turning toward our trip to Alaska in May. Our ...

Good morning, my friends. Santa comes tonight. I'm pretty sure he's not bringing me anything. We don't even have a chimney, so he'd have to break down the door to get inside anyway. Maybe I'll just turn out the lights. Better safe than sorry. I've warned the kitties about the reindeer, and they're keeping an eagle eye out.

Yeah...that's an old picture, but it's one of my favorites of Smitty. He'd just seen the bobcat that sometimes roams around here.

So it was a day of cooking yesterday, and ...

Good morning, my friends. The clock is ticking down. Are you ready? Except for two days of cooking ahead of me, I'm ready. We learned we had an extra guest coming for dinner last night, and so Mike has volunteered to sacrifice himself to the gods of grocery today. We only need a couple of things to supplement what I already have, but geez. Better him than me. It's one of those times when we'll be grateful for self check-out.

My day was pretty low-key yesterday. I gave myself a day to rest up before the big ...

Good morning, my friends. I hope y'all are ready for the holidays. If you have to go out today, you have my sympathy. We're as ready as we can be here, but there's still lots of cooking to be done before we're finished. Certainly it could be worse. 

I had a long list of to-do's yesterday morning. It was hard to know where to start. I decided to start with the quilt binding. Smitty was there to help out.

Good morning, my friends. Here we are again at Friday. The weeks are seeming to fly by right at the moment. Is it just me or does time move faster as we approach the end of the year? And let me just say I've been ready for the presidential campaign to end for at least the past six months. (Probably I was ready before it even started.) Just a few more weeks, and then we'll get a reprieve.

After finishing yesterday's post, I went to work finishing up September's "Joy in the Ordinary" block. It still ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a foggy and cloudy morning here. We're expecting the clouds to burn off, and the day should be relatively warm. It doesn't matter much to me. I'm already in fall mode. Later this morning, I'm going to get some Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings started in my Dutch oven. It's a recipe I reworked from a slow cooker recipe to make more efficient use of my cooking vessels. And if you ask me, it's time to bring out the hearty soups for our dining pleasure. If summer is ...

Good morning, my friends. The day was much more energetic yesterday. I was feeling back to my normal self, "normal" being a relative term. I don't know about you, but none of my relatives are normal. We were having some leftover Brunswick Stew from the freezer for our dinner, and so I started my day by baking some bread to go on the side. This is Cast Iron Beer-Batter Cheese Bread.

Good morning, my friends. We took a much-needed day of rest yesterday. There was a lot to do before we left home. When we got on our way, we were driving, driving, driving. And now, here in Moab, we've been Jeeping, Jeeping, Jeeping. We took a break from our vacation yesterday, starting with upholding our breakfast tradition at the Jailhouse Cafe. We left Sadie practicing her adorable look.
