What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Mike came up with a solution to try to see if he could make the quilting frame less wobbly causing the rods to slightly move out of place – now to see if it works.  As I stated the hand quilting frame is 30 years old and I really love it.  I used hoops before […]

All is back to normal here at home.  Thanks for those that reached out and wanted to know if we had water damage from the water pipe – no it was all outside thank goodness but the water needed to be shut off until the repair was done.  You never know how much you depend […]

A little of everything done yesterday.  It was an off and on light rain day so I got a little more done in the sewing room then I had been. First I had ironed on my freezer paper templates for Georgetown on my Mind and then got them cut.  Some of this is done with […]

The binding was put on Hunter’s Star and it is ready for the hand work over the next week or so – it is all folded up here on the couch handy for me to work on – these are just some of the colors on the binding. Today I hope to get started picking […]

Hunter’s Star is coming to an end and the next post it will be finished.  Last night I sat down to quilt the last block and today I will take it off the frame.  There are a few things that Mike needs to tighten up on the rollers before I load the next quilt.  I […]

One purple done and on to another.  I worked for two days on the Georgetown on My Mind quilt for  the  RSC group and I finished it in time to link up today on SoScrappy.   This is the circle pinned in place to applique I forgot to do the final press with spray starch to […]

It is purple this month for the RSC group and I am busy with my purple block for Georgetown which has 9 large blocks and then a lot of smaller ones.  Right now I am making one large in the color selected a month – it takes about 2 days to do each block so […]

The blocks and rows are all sewed together – I am undecided on the border – to use the border in the book or something else – not sure but will take a week or so off while I work on the two RSC quilts. Here are some photos without the border – it is […]

It’s about time that I get that last NYB block finished for some reason I dragged it out – this is a second Green Tree Frog blog.  A little crooked on one side but it will hide in the seam.  It was going to be the last in the final row but I noticed it […]

Another cool day yesterday but warmth comes back all week and that will be so nice.   hope to still make progress in the sewing room each day. I will also be doing some outside stuff Yesterday I finished appliqueing the circle of the red Georgetown in place – that makes two down 6 more this […]

On to the last step of the Georgetown block in red – I finished the outer ring and pressed the seams open and have it centered on its background block ready to applique in place I started to work on it but didn’t get it finished.  I will work on that and hexies for Slow […]

I hope my readers well join me in saying hello to one of my readers who is suffering from terminal cancer.  Samantha’s husband reached out to me this week to tell me that Samantha from Vicksburg MS reads my blog often and loves my blog – and wanted me to know how sick she was.  […]

Yesterday was extremely busy – it was another day around 70 degrees so I was outside for a bit and then when I wore myself out I was inside working on my red block – Georgetown – all cut out. I started to sew the first circle and don’t think I had showed it with […]

More time looking through the reds, I was looking for fabric for the Georgetown blocks for red this month and got my little boxes out to look, then the box that had red scraps in it (I ended up packing them in a 3rd box instead of putting them aside to cut small squares) and […]

I spent time organizing more in the sewing room on the rainy Sunday that we had.  I started out by emptying out the box that held the Hertfordshire Quilt top which by the way I sold the 36 inch piece to a reader – thank you Sandra it is in the mail tomorrow. In the […]

Well the first Georgetown block is finished and in the project box along with the pattern and the background fabric.  There is more gray on order as I had bought the gray I am using before I knew what I would be using it for – actually one of the gray colors was used in […]

Sunday was a busy day and I nearly got the Georgetown green block finished.  It was about the only thing I worked on other then being outside for awhile squishing through the mud to the garden to do a little work outside. But first Georgetown-green block. First up was to make this ring I showed […]

After getting started cutting pieces out I decided these pieces were big enough for machine piecing after all -and I am working that hexie quilt I don’t want too many hand projects and then make no headway on any of them.  This is how the first Georgetown block looked yesterday morning (this is for a […]

Here January is about over and I first now picking my green fabric for this first Georgetown block for RSC – I won’t get it done in January but at least it will be cut out to work on when I can.  I started with sitting on the floor going through my green boxes and […]

Yesterday I started to thread baste more hexies for Noriko’s Star– the neutrals of which I probably need about 800 or more – well ok that is probably an exaggeration but a lot are needed.  Anyhow it is a start. I have found that while I peddle with my Cubii machine for exercise I can […]
