What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Oh no – there are more – some I actually forgot about and one I didn’t forget but forgot to mention it.  Some of you will be familiar with the one I call “The Rose Garden” – the actual name for this one was “La Rosaraie” – I got part way done with it and […]

I finally remembered to get some photos of the Pineapple quilt but it is big and hard to do so I kind of just draped it over a couple chairs outside and spread it out.  I wish now instead of making it 8 rows by 9 rows that I would have made it square – […]

Yesterday was spent almost all day outside.  I had a ton of garden work to do and the weather was perfect for it – barely got up to 69 degrees.  But I did get the Pineapple Quilt in the washer and dryer but by time I got around to taking photos it was so shady […]

Finally last night I finished the binding on the Pineapple Quilt – it took awhile almost 10 days! but it is now done and will do the washing of it today to make sure all the marking lines are out of it. This corner of the Drunkard’s Path done on Saturday night and more will […]

Two rows of the star blocks are now put together – I think we all have a love hate relationship with long rows  – I don’t mind putting the blocks together but the long rows are a pain in the butt!  Right now this is 4 x 5 rows but as I put it together […]

The last blocks were made for the Star quilt using the Rainbow Scrap Challenge again this year for several quilts – I decided to not make more blocks as I have done 2 blocks for each month – I changed the color for one or two months but over all very pleased with the selections […]

Even though I was really taking my time with stuff yesterday I got a lot done.  The 2 – 36 Patch blocks for the RSC quilt were made and I now have accomplished that goal of 20 blocks for that – now I will put it aside for a little bit and decide if it […]

That’s right I couldn’t help myself after I got the Drunkard’s Path loaded on Wednesday night I had to sit down and start to draw circles to see if my idea for quilting was going to work – I love it. I do believe I’m going to like this linking to Alycia’s Finished or Not […]

I know I said I would wait a couple days to get the new quilt on the frame but I needed the space that is available when I have a quilt on it – it is like having another table at times and comes in handy to spread fabric out on it when selecting the […]

All the quilting was finished on Monday night – this was about 3 and 1/2 months of work – about 118 hours of hand quilting!  I will get the binding cut today and hopefully get the machine sewing part done and then it will be added to the hand work pile that is in the […]

19 of 30 blocks now completed for the Rose Garden – gosh this on is taking awhile and now it will sit aside again for a little bit while I whip up the 36 patch blocks and then the stars – and then prep the final block for the Love Letters quilt.  After that maybe […]

Still plugging away on orange and haven’t started the next color for any of the 3 projects that I am doing for the RSC group.  But I will get started one day this month!The orange block  for Love Letters is moving along.  The dark leaf on this stem to finish and then I will move […]

Mainly just worked on the applique yesterday on Love Letters and will do more of that today.  I do believe a cold front is coming through so might be on the porch a bit today.  Five stems and leaf’s and pomegranates done. these two left to do on the left – that top one was […]

The quilting on the Pineapple Quilt is coming along really well and I feel I will finish it for sure this coming week – I’m estimating it should take about 5 more days at least to finish it.  The next up on the frame is the Drunkard’s Path quilt which is about the same size.  […]

Love Letters orange block got some work done on it – I should be done with this one and instead I am only little more than half way.  One orange leaf in the lower right side needs finishing for this half to be done.  Linking to Wendy’s Quilts and More — All of this still […]

I was out for a quite a bit yesterday so I didn’t get busy on things until late in the day.  My primary care doctor left the area awhile back and I had to find a new doctor – I really hate that when it happens because it has been one doctor after another the […]

I managed to get a block finished after I got home from meeting Melanie for lunch – I believe that makes 12 left to make!  It is getting there. Part way and took a short break. Came back later – got it done and pressed. The next block – the colors picked out And here […]
