What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. It's still mostly dark out as I'm writing this morning. I read yesterday that we would be getting our first 5:00 p.m. sunset within the next few days. That will be an improvement over the 4:00-hour sunsets we've been getting. The days are getting longer, but it's still dark in the morning. I can see some brightness in the sky, however, and so I'm optimistic for some sunshine today.

We did our grocery shopping yesterday. We were into the low 40's on our return home. The sun ...

Good morning, my friends. The fog never really burned off yesterday. Mike had to drive into town, and he said it was even foggier at the valley floor. It's foggy again this morning, but I peeked at the forecast. It's supposed to burn off into sunshine. We'll see. It's a grocery shopping day, and so I'll be happy if it just doesn't rain. 

When I went downstairs yesterday, I noticed the spider webs and moisture coating the Andromeda just outside our living room window. I took several pictures of it. This was my favorite ...

Good morning, my friends. It's another day when I'm writing fast. We're going to try to get our grocery shopping for the week done this morning. As I believe I mentioned yesterday, we're having a couple of our neighbors up for dinner on New Year's Day, and I need to get some things for that. (I should actually say, "our neighbors, who are a couple," not the whole neighborhood.) And, of course, as long as we're going, I have next week's menu planned and on the shopping list too. It always ends up ...

Good morning, my friends. Thank goodness for Saturday and no reason to leave home. We ran a bunch of errands yesterday...five stops in all. One of the stops included lunch, so maybe that doesn't count. Still, it took a good part of my sewing day, and so I don't have a lot to show. 

Sadie and I had a discussion about the fabrics I'm using. She likes this polka dot.

When I could convince her to get off the quilt, I was able to sew ...

Good morning, my friends. Don't let that title fool you. It's all good. I'll tell you what I meant by that in a minute. First off...it's wet outside. The promised rain has returned. It's supposed to be a wet weekend, but sunny by Monday. That's weather I can live with, but I expect it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. We haven't even reached winter yet, my friends, although it might feel as if it's here to many of you.

So when we left off yesterday ...

Good morning, my friends. We're still chilly here, with overnight temperatures in the 20's and daytime temp's in the 30's. We're expecting a change when the rain starts up again this weekend, but next week is looking sunny and a little warmer. We've been cold because of the east wind coming out of the Columbia Gorge, where it's always among the coldest places in the state.

It was a stay-at-home day for me. Aside from doing a little housework and taking a walk on the treadmill, it was all sewing, all the time ...

Good morning, my friends. It rained, and rained, and rained yesterday, which is nothing new for November in Oregon. It made for a stay-in-the-house-all-day day. And, of course, there's no better weather for sewing. Unless you want to sew outside. Then not. It's looking a little less rainy today. Cloudy, but so far, none of the wet stuff. I'm probably going to make a quick trip into town today. I need to pick up some white chocolate bars for holiday baking this week. Probably, I'll pick up whatever else is on the list too. There's ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a grocery shopping day today, and so I'm writing fast again. Also, we'll be dropping off our ballots at the nearest ballot box. Vote, my friends. It's important, but you probably already know that. Won't you be glad when this election is over?

Smitty's morning was rough yesterday. We needed to give him a second dose of worming medication. He got the first dose when he visited the vet two weeks earlier. We wrapped him up in a towel and force-fed him a small syringe of the stuff. It ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a new week, filled with promise. I'm promising to finish the Shop Hop quilt this week. There's just one row of blocks to finish and then I'll need to quilt the border. After that, it will be ready for binding. In yesterday's group of blocks were these:
