What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I really made progress on one block yesterday – often these blocks take me several days to make so I was pleased with the progress.  I should be able to get it done sometime today I would think even though I am meeting Melanie for lunch and pick up a few things at the store.  […]

I really meant to get to work on the Rose Garden block yesterday but the air was so nice outside – instead I was in and out taking a lot of breaks from trying to dig that trench down by the garden to plant some things LOL  I did get done with a little of […]

The last post I was busy all day – yesterday I wasn’t and didn’t get done with barely anything!  I was barely on the computer all day as Mike was going to install a new hard drive on my computer and I was busy outside.  The hard drive was installed late in the day and […]

Block #17 of Rose Garden is done – 13 more to go – this is how I spent my rainy day – yes one whole inch of badly needed rain – the air cooled off and windows are open for the first time in days – the A/C shut off – I always like it […]

Considering I had a very lazy morning yesterday I actually got done with a bit – the morning was on the porch listening to a book and working on one of the applique flowers for Love Letters.  Reverse applique  –  I actually had to unpick my work from a couple days ago and cut a […]

The Pineapple quilt gets almost daily quilting on it and I am half way through row 8 (our of 9 rows of blocks).  When this quilt is done I will work on the Drunkard’s Path which is about the same size as this one. I finished getting the center done for the Supernova quilt – […]

Yesterday didn’t go as planned and I didn’t get started with the applique – I will today instead – I noticed that the urn wasn’t quite flat – a little puckered in one area so I needed to remove it and then reposition – I hope to get to it today for Slow Sunday Stitching […]

That’s right – I got busy and worked for several hours yesterday afternoon to get this block all glue basted in place and now it is ready for stitching.  Linking the orange block Patchwork & Quilting and to SoScrappy. Here is a close up of the right side And the left side Quilting on the […]

Finally got down to work and got starting glue basting in place I took close up photos on how I prep the pieces that will have the reverse applique – I don’t know if everyone does it like I do but this should give you an idea.  When I get to the stitching I will […]

Templates are cut and a stack of fabric is sitting ready to go through of orange colors for Love Letters.  I will rearrange my table today and get my vase in place.  Then I cut my stems and put them through the bias folder and get those somewhat in place – flower arranging comes after […]

The quilt was rolled down once again and work has started on row #8 – and when it was rolled down all of row 9 was in sight  – always a good feeling to see the end of the quilt. On Saturday night I only quilted a little bit – in fact this week I […]

Finally I finished my orange stars for the RSC Star quilt that I am making in the monthly colors – they really are easy to make – being nice large blocks and I finished the one I started a couple days ago and got the second one made  – I will link to SoScrappy today […]

The rest of my sale fabric arrived – more colors that read solid to mix in with all the other stuff!  Or maybe use all on it’s own in an RSC quilt next year – I think the only color missing is yellow! hey what’s with that?  I guess maybe because the metallic type design […]

More and more as this year has progress I feel like I am slowing down in my projects – I’m not in a rush with any of them but I’m just not as into it this year as I am sometimes – more often then not you will find me reading or picking up the […]

Don’t you just love it when the fabric you ordered from the sales arrive!! I got a package from Green Fairy today – I ordered some from Connecting Threads too but it is slower coming then the last time I ordered.  Here is a bundle that I got of Lori Holt’s fabric line All different […]

The orange blocks for the 36 Patch RSC quilt are now done and put away in their storage box – two more blocks to make and decide if I will continue this one next year to make it larger or top at what it is . I didn’t notice until I saw the photo that […]

Once again not a whole lot was done – mainly because it was so nice outside!  I met Melanie in the morning and we went to Hobby Lobby looking at fall decorations I plan to make something new for the porch this year.  Then we walked over to TJ Maxx and then Penney’s – she […]

We are off to help our younger daughter set up her home office today and visit with the grandchildren too.  Our grandson and his wife were able to get the weekend off and join us all there – everyone is vaccinated!  Jessica and Ciera arrived at the new house the other night and brought air […]

A little more work got done on the pumpkin runner – I’m really not in a rush on this as there is a bit of time to go before fall.  I have the pumpkin on the left done and working on the one in the middle – done with the orange and on to the […]

Really it seems like I barely did anything – it was 97 degrees and I stayed in the house all day reading I think or knitting. The shawl is progressing and will be ready for fall and I don’t think I showed the Pineapple Quilt for a couple days – it too is progressing AccuQuilt […]
