What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. Oh my...it is so dark outside. We're expecting lots of rain over the next several days. There could be around 4 inches in our area with minor flooding concerns in some places. Here on our hill, we're not at all worried about flooding. Sadly, however, Mike discovered the drainage pipes leading away from our downspouts are clogged with pine needles that cannot be dislodged with any equipment we have. We're going to have to call a plumber to snake those out. That should be a nice tidy plumbing bill. When it comes ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm happy to announce I finished making the last kitten in a teacup yesterday. It's surprising that I was able to finish them off without having to use my rotary cutter to slit my own throat. The kitties were there to offer meowral suppurrt. Sadie gazed longingly at the pieces I'd cut to finish the last block. I'd left them covered with rulers to purrtect them from...you know...mice.

Smitty took the seat next to my light box. He ...

Good morning, my friends. Well, we're set for groceries for another week or so. Having not done any grocery shopping for nearly two weeks, our list was long. We were also slow getting out of the house. I did everything I could to procrastinate, including spending some extra time with my slow stitching. I can say I'm off to a good start on the latest Raggedy & Friends block.

Good morning, my friends. It seems as if a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since the last time we talked. When I left you on Friday, I was preparing to take Eliza in for a spa treatment. That turned into practically an all-day affair. We dropped off the machine, but I'd left the bobbin casing at home. The technician said it was better to adjust the tension if they had the bobbin casing. I said I'd go home, get it, and bring it back, but whoa. That was quite a journey. It's an hour ...

Good morning, my friends. More than expected was accomplished in the sewing room yesterday. I was home from my pedicure just after noon, and that left me with the remainder of the day for sewing. Of course, I couldn't leave in the morning without spending some time with my slow-stitching. This is Tiny Treasure #15.

Good morning, my friends. It was a busy day yesterday. All the items on my to-do list were checked off. I've been working at procrastinating less. You might say I'm procrastinating on my procrastination. It feels good to have everything finished at the end of the day, but it cuts into my sewing time. Nevertheless, I started my "Motion" project yesterday, and I was able to get farther along than expected. I was so involved in the process that I neglected to take any pictures until the end of the day. Here's your peek:

Good morning, my friends. We had a little let-up from the rain yesterday. By afternoon, the sun was shining and we had a blue sky...a welcome sight. We were out in our hot tub last night, and we could see stars for the first time in many nights. This morning, the sun is shining, and there isn't a cloud in the sky. For sure, I'm going to get outside and cut back that last dahlia today. I might have done it yesterday while I was out filling the bird feeders. But there was a drizzle falling, and ...

Good morning, my friends. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, it was going to be a bad day for Smitty. He had an appointment with the vet. The kitties are pretty amazing in their ability to detect even the slightest of changes to our morning routine. When I went downstairs from writing yesterday's post, I found them like this:

They're up to something, Smitty. I just know it.

Happily, it was a quick visit. I'd forgotten that both kitties got health check-ups last spring because we needed documentation to ...

Good morning, my friends. After writing yesterday's post, I proceeded to waste my morning hours messing with ChatGPT. This is the sort of thing that interests me not at all, but I was trying to create an AI image. It took me quite a while to understand the ins and outs of this. At one point I realized I was wasting my whole morning, and I decided to indulge in that luxury for a single morning. Since I needed to leave the house at 11:45 a.m., it didn't seem as if there was enough time to ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a new week. We're moving dangerously close to that season we often refer to as "the holidays." Are you ready? Halloween is the last domino to fall. After that, it'll be a Christmas music free-for-all. We haven't heard anything of Christmas so far, but I expect the mania will start up any day now. 

It was an easy-going day yesterday. I gave myself a day off from anything other than sewing...and cooking, of course. Laziness is no excuse for starvation, and so we ate our usual meals. Aside from that ...
