What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. Don't let that title scare you. We're back to what passes for normal around here if, by normal, you're talking about controlled chaos. But that's beside the point. I just want to say straight out that there's nothing to worry about. The worst is all in the past. I have a lot to tell you this morning, and a lot of pictures to show you. If you're planning to read to the end, now would be a good time to refill your coffee cup. And if you're not planning ...

Our weekly photo challenge has become a more monthly thing as the cards in the latest pack are a lot more challenging. Our last post was back in early May. So here we are in early June with our latest efforts.  Thankfully this time the card we pulled was well matched to the season. 

At least My Guy and I had access to lots of wildflowers. My Girl not so much. So she sat out this challenge.  The spring rains brought lots of wildflowers, but at the same time with all the rain, catching bees or butterflies on said flowers ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday. There's still a little bit more to do before we can take off on our camping trip, but most of it is finished. The kitties are staying home this trip. They're too short to look through the telescopes that will be on site, and so they decided not to come. They've been given strict orders: No wild purrties and no loud mewsic.

My day started with hoeing the garden. It was the thing I least wanted to do, and so I did that first. Everything is looking ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a wet, wet day yesterday. We received over half an inch of rain at our place. It was a good day to attend the Titanic Artifacts exhibit going on at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI). Matthew and I had originally planned a walk on one of the local trails, but the OMSI exhibit turned out to be a good substitute. 

I have lots of pictures, as you might imagine, so let's just get right to it, shall we? I should say that the lighting was weird, and I was taking ...

Good morning, my friends. Often, a day gets away from me, and the time passes more quickly than I thought it would, leaving me with some of my goals unaccomplished at the end of the day. Yesterday was kind of the opposite. I kept thinking it was later than it was. It meant I was able to get a lot done. Don't be impressed. None of it was very exciting, but it's always good to have crossed off all the items on my list at the end of the day.

Hello Spring Quilt

Good morning, my friends. Before we go even one word further, I feel I must point out that today is

As expected, I had almost no time for sewing yesterday. I managed to stitch Tiny Treasure #57. This one has stem stitch, stem fill, lazy daisy, and French knots.

Good morning, my friends. Today comes the "find out" part of my recent FAFO actions. (Google it, if you don't know.) It's the day I go to court over my recent speeding ticket. There's no whining or making excuses on my part. I'm just hoping for a reduction in the fine if I throw myself on the mercy of the court. What form do you think this should take? Should I writhe on the ground for a while? Would kicking and screaming be ill-advised? Probably I should wait and read the room before making any rash ...

Good morning, my friends. The Summer Solstice is still a couple of weeks away, but it sure felt like summer yesterday. I took time in the morning to stitch Tiny Treasure #55. This one has stem stitch, stem fill, basketweave stitch, and straight stitch.

Good morning, my friends. It's the last day of May. We're onto June tomorrow. Are you ready? On June 4, 1944, my mom and dad were married. They were married 52 years when she passed away in 1997. Also, my grandfather's birthday was June 14th...Flag Day. (Also the same day as...you know...he who shall not be named.) My grandfather always told me they put the flags out on Flag Day for him. He was a WWI veteran, and so it made complete sense to me.
