What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I actually had progress on only one quilting project and that was the orange star that I showed yesterday – it is now appliqued in place with the back cut out of it for less to eventually quilt through, I never got another Scrappy Crossroads block laid out – hopefully I will do that today […]

Well I did get another Mercantile Block done but talk about crazy directions – but I continued on even after numerous mistakes.  I’m not happy with it but it stays unless next year or whenever it gets pieced together I decide to make a new one.  The directions aren’t bad if you are following color […]

Four blocks done and the box doesn’t look any emptier than it was when I started – I have a feeing it won’t look any different when this quilt top is done LOL.  How many quilts can be made out of this one box that measures 8x11x 4.5 inches deep, Scrappy Crossroads – one row […]

Well it is going to be back to work on the New York Beauty today – the table is cleared off and ready to get messy again.  Ready for the 4th and final border of the quilt. This 7th Mercantile Sampler block was made and ready to applique – I must say as other “new” […]

We got a much needed three inches of rain from Tropical storm Beryl as she came across Arkansas – after I took this photo the rain continued on and climbed to the 3 inch mark. And of course another branch came out of that same tree – Mike has part of it cleaned up now […]

I think we got less rain than expected yesterday as I wrote this Monday evening we had gotten a half inch of rain with most of it expected overnight – it is to be heavy rain all night possibly 4-5 inches? We will see when I wake up this morning how much we got.  I […]

I will take a week break from the New York Beauty and work on the Mercantile Sampler and see if I can get caught up on my colors for the RSC group.  I actually had more done then I remembered.  (By the way thank you to those that reached out and let me know yesterday […]

But we had rainy weather so I can’t get an outside photo until later today I bet.  But finally the binding is done, Hunter’s Star has been washed and dried – so here is an inside photo for now.  Linking to Design Wall Monday — Monday Musings — The back Most of the Mercantile block […]

Well I got started on the New York Beauty but before I even started to make a start on the border I realized I wasn’t thinking right on the border I selected – it would be way too wide for the quilt all around.   LOL – it was one of those “what was I thinking […]

I’m not sure where I left off posting progress on my own stuff after posting photos of the show quilt – but here is progress on Hunter’s Star quilting. I think the red marks about half way across this row. The circle applique on Happy Daze is caught up – this was the last one […]

Sunday was a nice day I was inside and outside.  Inside it was all about purple.  I got done with the Happy Daze applique purple block (circle) and started on the red one for the applique part of it.  One down two to go And I cut out the back and cut that part up […]

First I did get some accomplished yesterday and will link up to SoScrappy today for the RSC group.  I have the 3 Happy Daze blocks ready to applique to the background squares.  (the Mercantile block is on the right side).  Also linking to Patchwork & Quilts – I also have the first Mercantile quilt block […]

I mentioned “The Mercantile Sew Along” that is going on at Lori Holt – Bee in My Bonnet blog so yesterday I spent some time looking through the fabric stash on the shelves under the quilting frame for the back ground of the circles and the background to put those circles on.  I’m not sure […]

On my way to getting caught up for the March colors for the Happy Daze quilt – The half Dresden Plates are made for the border – I have the accuquilt die for Dresden Plates so that made the cutting easy.  I make them in a long chain and quickly snip them apart with the […]
