What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It's a day for celebration. Today will be my last day of physical therapy. As I've grudgingly admitted, it has been very helpful. I was to return to the doctor tomorrow, but I canceled that appointment. My shoulder isn't completely pain-free, but it's improved enough that it isn't a constant annoyance. When I got into bed last night, I realized I hadn't thought about it all day. For now, I'll just keep doing the PT exercises at home. Surprisingly, it feels better on days when I do some exercise ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a sunny day. The promise of a warmer week seems to be coming to fruition. I was out early yesterday morning. The birds had emptied their feeders...again...and I needed to check on the seedlings in the greenhouse. (Both things are new additions to my morning routine.) While I was out, I checked on the flowers. (Checking on the flowers is also part of my morning routine.) I'd hoped the Coral Sunset peony would have bloomed, but it was still hiding itself. Nevertheless, the other peonies were putting on a show.

Good morning, my friends. It looks like our weather might decide to warm up again. We're expecting warmer temperatures day by day, and we have a plan to plant our vegetable garden later this week. It's going to be a small garden this year. I'm sprouting zucchini and pickling cucumbers in the greenhouse at the moment. We'll also plant corn and green beans. You might remember our last garden when the critters bit the green beans off at ground level, killing every single plant. We have an idea about how to thwart those little gnawing bastards ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a good day yesterday. Everything on my list was completed. I was tired by the end of the day, and so I didn't get any time in the sewing room. Maybe today I'll be more motivated. After taking a walk on the treadmill yesterday, I took a little walk around outside. Each day I'm checking the water on the little seed pots. I'm happy to announce that there are sprouts in every pot except one.

Good morning, my friends. We had four stops to make yesterday, but we were still home before lunch time. It left plenty of time in the day to finish off the other things I was hoping to do. Of course, I had to do my slow-stitching before anything else could happen. I’m working on the 2nd Santa now. I stitched his boots first, and now I’ve moved my hoop to encompass the rest of him.

Our first stop was to pick up some medicine at the pharmacy. After that, we went to the feed store to get more ...

Good morning, my friends. There wasn't a minute to waste yesterday if I was to get everything done. After writing my post, I headed straight to my slow-stitching. (Priorities, people.) And then I went outside to check on things there. My first stop was the greenhouse. With so many seedlings in pots, I'm checking the water daily. There, I was happy to discover sprouts in two of the three zinnia pots.

Good morning, my friends. I'm hoping y'all had a lovely Mother's Day yesterday. We had a good day at this end. Our bunch meet-up wasn't until 11:30 a.m., and so I had some time in the morning to do a few things. It started with a pretty sunrise.

Mike has been gnashing his teeth trying to get our automatic sprinkler system to work. He set this all up several years ago in anticipation of our trip to Alaska. And don't go getting ...

 It was a good quilting day yesterday. Of course, I didn't get to the quilting right away. First, I finished stitching the first Santa from the Santa Quartet. With him finished, I moved my hoop to the right.

The fourth of five rhododendrons is starting to bloom. We have another dark purple one that is still in tight buds.

The new photo challenge cards have been a bit more involved then the previous two packs.  It's been taking all of us a bit longer to come up with photos. My Guy and I spend most of our time in a small town, which can limit our photo opportunities. My Girl lives in the big city, but she now has a full time job, with a commute. So she doesn't have as much time as when she was a college student. Consequently, we seemed to have shifted to a monthly schedule on our photographs. We're just going ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm just home from a nice breakfast with Sue. Aside from that, not much has happened this morning. There hasn't even been time for slow-stitching. As I write, I'm waiting for Mike to drink a cup of coffee, and then we'll head off to the grocery store. We're eating dinner out tonight, but the afternoon will be my own. No plans except doing whatever I want to do.

So let's back up to yesterday, shall we? It was a luxuriously slow day. Not having to sandwich any more quilts put ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a no-sewing day yesterday. This PT business is getting in the way of my sewing. On the other hand, I can't deny that it's helping. If it can help me avoid a surgery, then it will have been worth it.

My morning activities included some time outside. I filled the hummingbird feeders, and then took a walk around. The azaleas are working hard at taking over as the stars of the garden.

This is one of ...
