What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Finally Morning Glory is up on the wall and finished – I ended up washing it a second time as I had a crease running down the middle from when it was folded while I was working on the hanging sleeve – I was surprised it had set in so quickly but it came out […]

Morning Glory has been in the washer and dryer and has all that wonderful crinkliness to it – I am stitching the hanging sleeve to the top back right now and as soon as I am done it will be on the wall.  I folded in half and laid it on the quilting frame for […]

I really meant to get started on the two large star blocks yesterday for the RSC quilt but I didn’t realize the second covid shot was going to wipe me out as much as it did!  I had the shot on Friday and got barely anything done on Saturday – I ached all over so […]

Lucy is making progress every evening even if only for a little bit.  Binding on Morning Glory also is moving along – although at a slow pace – I don’t sit for long to work on it but I think one and half sides are done now. I have the blue bins out but have […]

I managed to finish my Love Letters block for March just in time to start the color blue for April – first I have one Rose Garden block to finish today so I can clear the table off to start going through the fabric.  Here are the extra large blocks finished so far.  Depending on […]

Yesterday I was in and out – it got up to 77 degrees yesterday – a little windy so was not out doing stuff as much as I do sometimes – the allergies were bad – our cooler weather will return – in fact I think by the middle of the week I might need […]

I took the final stitches on Wednesday night putting me right over 100 hours on this quilt.  I’m ready to get the binding on today The last stitches Lighting wasn’t great – it did rain off and on all day so no bringing it outside right now – later?  Linking to Wendy’s Quilts and More […]

It is going to be off and on rain today so I have plenty to work on in the house of course.  I have another Rose Garden block set up to start I think there were 30 different colors to work with for the 30 blocks so one of each design – some the same […]

Will I or won’t I get done with my green Love Letters applique block by the end of the month so I will be able to start the next color in early April?  It is getting closer but I am not spending a lot of time at it.  I get distracted with outside when it […]

Don’t you hate it when you are down to all the bits and pieces of batting?  I don’t really care for piecing together batting all that much although I will do that to use up larger pieces but a lot of what I had were small so with the Connecting Threads sale that was going […]

We had another really nice day outside so no sewing was touched until late afternoon – I mentioned I have planted berries in the raised beds and that means a fence is required to keep the critters away.  While I was getting more mulch in between rows to keep the weeds at bay Mike was […]

Yes that is right no sewing yesterday – I was caught up in a good book – the newest of the Joe Pickett series by CJ Box it is called Dark Sky.  I went ahead and purchased this one – kindle version  – both of us have a kindle and you can share books so […]

A little more progress on Love Letters.  It is always hard to show progress on applique without sharing the back but I hadn’t thought to take a photo of the back  – here is the project The part finished is circled in black – I will finish working on the big flower to the left […]

I worked on Love Letters after I had written my post for yesterday morning so this what was worked on Tuesday night – the 3 center stems/flowers/leaf’s are now done on those in the middle – so two stems/flowers on each side to do still.  I plan to work on it most evenings for about […]

Yesterday I was a bit out of the house – eye check up and eyes dilated so didn’t get around to much of any sewing until late afternoon.  New lenses in the sun glasses ordered.   After the eyes had cleared up a trip to the grocery store was done – I could have done that […]

Yesterday was a pretty good day – inside and out – but so windy!  Got some garden work done though so that was good.  Off and on I worked on The Rose Garden.  I finished the 3rd block and started another.  Block #3 is straighter than the first two. Later in the day I got […]

I wonder how many of us struggle with precise piecing?  I bet a lot of us do.  I have my quarter inch marked and measured several times and still  can’t seem to hold my fabric still enough to be perfect.  Such is life – I know I have this problem but it doesn’t bother me […]

Yesterday the temperature was in the 50’s when we woke up and I closed the windows first thing and turned the heat back on but it only came on once so that was nice, another cool night and then maybe spring again? Who can tell.  But seeing as it was a drizzling rainy kind of […]

Some days it is very much the same thing over and over – sew, kitchen work, sew, go outside walk around look at plants growing, sit on porch and knit (yes it was warm enough), back in the house look at the sewing and say I had enough, cook, go to bed and start again […]

Well I started getting the first block put together for the Moda French General quilt kit – I translated the name in Google Translator ”La Rosaraie” to “The Rose Garden” but since have been told that is name what the name is translated and now I have forgotten what Rebecca (Rebecca Grace Quilting) told me […]
