What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

The Rose Garden has inched forward just a little bit now on progress.  Yesterday I finished doing some of the instructions that needed to be done before any block work could proceed.  A tray full of pieces to begin work with. Not much was done here is the first block – three more of these […]

Finally after a week or more of working on the applique block to get all glue basted in place so I can move it away from the table I laid the last pieces in after making a few changes in the lower flowers and gathered my threads – it is now ready to work on. […]

Early yesterday I was back to work cutting pieces and glue basting When I thought I was done with cutting pieces and glue basting I put it on the wall to finish drying – I then  decided I didn’t like the flowers at the bottom on each side.  I don’t like the colors I mean […]

I don’t know how the day got by me yesterday without sitting down to work on the applique but it did – I got in a walk with Melanie which takes a good 90 minutes with our walk and round trip drive to get there but this time I decided to stop at the grocery […]

Off and on yesterday I was working on Love Letters block number three in green.  Got a start –  the first two blocks for RSC21 On to the green – I spent some time just going through greens – I liked some then I didn’t and got more out Got started glue basting I decided […]

Applique always takes some time to get ready and then you can sit back and stitch – but it does take time.  I didn’t work on it steady all day yesterday but all the freezer paper templates are done and I have the bias stems made for the vase – today I need to start […]

I actually didn’t do hardly anything to blog about yesterday.  All I have to share is quilting from Wednesday night on Morning Glory so other than that – I got my first covid shot – this might not be a big deal to some but to someone who has been immune suppressed for 32 years […]

I am wondering how some of us make such silly mistakes when piecing that even after pressing this piece I didn’t notice I had turned pieces wrong until it was on the wall!! It did get fixed and I have my RSC21 #2 Stars caught up through March!  The RSC21 #1 no name is caught […]

Yesterday was spent cutting out star blocks and getting applique templates traced – the later of which still needs to be finished – I will start to sew them today or tomorrow as that lower star looks a bit brown in places here is a close up in better light – green with gold and […]

It was announced that green is the color for March for the RSC21 group.  I was glad to hear the color and get my boxes out for the green 36-patch blocks  – I still have no name for this quilt and at times think of adding the 36 patch blocks to one of the other […]

Well this little table runner is still in the works – I must admit that I have disliked binding this little thing to the point of not picking it up for days LOL – but yesterday I finally got started again and made headway – one or two more sessions and I should have it […]

More of The Rose Garden has been cut but there is still a long way to go – someone asked what did this quilt look like as they missed when I posted photos a month back or so – this is the photo from the box the kit came in This tray is about full […]

Cutting out this quilt is going to take awhile because I get bored with that after a little bit and keep taking breaks and don’t remember to get back to it!  It will get done – one day LOL – but this tray did get a little more in it – all of the 1.7/8th […]

Yesterday I was busy cutting on the quilt kit “The Rose Garden” that I started last month and then put aside to work on my 3 RSC21 quilts that I am making and here it is almost the end of the month and I’m first getting back to the cutting – and there is a […]

I mentioned some time back that I was looking for a tote bag to stick the knitting in to take along when I have appointments and such and found one on Amazon – it finally arrived after getting lost for awhile from the bad storms.  It is a nice bag but I’m not totally happy […]

Turned out my thread worked just fine with this machine- I don’t know why it didn’t the last time I tried it.  In the afternoon I set out to get the runner machine quilted – it didn’t take long it was all straight lines that I did and no threads to tie off as I […]

I thought now that I am just about done with the applique block I needed to get Daisy Chain the table runner basted and figure out if I was hand quilting it or machine quilting it – before I get back to cutting out the quilt kit that I started a couple weeks ago The […]

Slowly but steadily quilting on Morning Glory is going well – I have shortened my quilting time in the evening but still getting done with some every day. Started in this area last night – linking to Small Quilts & Doll Quilts — I had intended to applique a bit yesterday but in the end […]

I really seemed to have sat around a bit yesterday reading and setting up my new fitbit that arrived (a week late due to weather) and somehow I have the heart rate shut off on it and can’t get that to turn back on – I have looked the instructions on line over and can’t […]

Just a little quilting got done on Thursday – been having a little trouble with the thumb so cutting back on my quilting time and then moving to the living room for some knitting or applique while I watch a show in there – here is the progress on Morning Glory Also a little more […]
