What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Windows were open – the weather was beautiful.  Cool enough to have windows open at night and all day is just the best!!  The brightness of the Flying Pansies is nice to see – nothing dull here.  I got these two done and then went to do other things. Then came back and did three […]

Yesterday did not go completely as I had planned – the Carpenter’s Wheel is off the frame having finished it Tuesday night but I didn’t get the binding sewed on it nor did I get the new quilt on the frame.  They are both ready though and I hope to get it done today – […]

Almost there – the end is in sight.  The end is so close that I decided to make the binding and have it waiting for me.  Sewing all those long strips together. All the pressing involved Done – now it waits for the finish – I have run out of places to store things LOL  […]

Someone when looking at this said get your sun glasses LOL – I must admit these are much wilder more colorful fabric then I have used in sometime.  And I love it.  I got started cutting the white fabric yesterday and got one strip of them cut  – this is four layers of the fabric […]

I’m so pleased that yesterday I finished getting all the colors cut out for Flying Pansies – now on to the white pieces of which I need 322 pieces LOL.  The difference will be that I will cut some, sew some, cut some and on and on to break up the monotony of all that […]

I got more cut yesterday but I’m not moving fast on this one for sure.  It will be awhile before I start to sew I think.  I haven’t even pressed the white piece yet to get it ready to cut – sure goes faster if there was a die for this for the Accuquilt LOL […]

I really didn’t get done with a lot – I got involved with my Karin Slaughter book and I might have spent more time reading than sewing yesterday.  I need to get a move on cutting Flying Pansies pieces.  I need a heck of a lot more – I might start cutting the white pieces […]

Well now that Scrapy Crossroads top is done and in the to be quilted basket the sewing room is full of the fun fabric for the Flying Pansies quilt – I will be busy the rest of this week cutting fabric I’m sure.  I’m going to wait to start to sew until I get the […]

All done!  Scrappy Crossroads was started on July 30 finished August 27th – now of course it will be awhile before it gets quilted – two are in line ahead of it.  It measured 70 x 86 inches. Made up of 20 – 16.5 inch blocks  all the little squares are 2.5 inches that were […]

One never gets bored (or rarely) if you have more than one project going on at a time.  Yesterday I cut strips for the border of Scrappy Crossroads but I didn’t sew them.  I also put two fabrics aside for the binding that will go in the “to be quilted” basket with the quilt – […]

Scrappy Crossroads is a really easy quilt for piecing and by doing one large block a day you can get done with it quickly.  I started it on July 30th – there are 20 blocks in it – I skipped a day here and there.  Linking to Design Wall Monday — Monday Musings — Fabrics […]

The scrap box of 2.5 inch squares when I got started on Scrappy Crossroads I think there might just be enough squares left in here for 2 more quilts this size easily!!  They never all get used up.  There are a lot of light and dark Two rows left to put together and then the […]

First off on Friday I sat down to finish to the Scrappy Crossroads block that I had screwed up and it went together easily this time – it is a wonder how good that goes if you just look at it before you pin!  It was added to the wall. And then I thought what […]

Well no block added to the wall yesterday for Scrappy Crossroads – I messed up – the block needs to be partially re-done – I turned one whole row the wrong way – it is taken apart now and ready to stitch!  Yup looks kind of wrong doesn’t it LOL easy fix – this was […]

It is still hexies, scraps and quilting. 4 x 4 rows of Scrappy Crossroads done – one more row to be 5 x 4 – surely I will finish this week and then “slap” ok think about a border and add something to finish it off – although it doesn’t really need much does it. […]

What did I do yesterday in that heat – I went grocery shopping in the morning and although I didn’t go early I didn’t think it would be so hot when I got home at 12:30 – I had such a bad nights sleep on Thursday night that I was dragging.  I felt like it […]

I try to get in a variety of sewing most days – variety is nice. One more Scrappy Crossroads block was done leaving 7 to do – I might not get around to any today as I have a variety of chores to get done, cleaning, grocery shopping and laundry.  Jessica is visiting for the […]

I decided when counting out hexies for the next segment with the four flowers in it that I needed more variety of white.  I have plenty stacked up to use so got busy. And before you know it another stack was cut I need to recount the white later after I get a lot thread […]

I didn’t think I was going to get a good photo of the quilt yesterday as the deck was wet from on and off rain but by evening the sun had come out and the deck dried off enough that I could spread the top out and take photos!  Half of this border is now […]

I had no kitchen work to do yesterday – some weeks I tend to a lot other weeks barely.  It was a nice day outside and I almost felt chilled when I sat outside drinking my morning coffee on the porch – it was only 69 degrees!! how nice today we actually have a chance […]
