What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

The top row of the Log Cabin is sewed together – The last block needed for the 5th row was done and I shined a light in the corner to see it better – still not a perfect view but you can see it.  I am linking to Patchwork and Quilting today I shined the […]

I thread basted way too many hexies for this section, I must have lost count or something, but that is ok as there won’t be as many to baste on the next section.  All of these in the box left over. These photos are pretty much just for seeing how I lay out and placement […]

Time to start anew and get busy with finishing projects and starting new.  I very often start New Years Day off by putting away most of the Christmas things and between us we got it almost done.  There is the Christmas quilt to take off the wall and the big wreath off the fireplace.  The […]

The last day of the year I was busy working on more Log Cabin blocks. The way I do my blocks now that I have it down pat is to get as many strips out and on the table that I need first and then sit and sew one block at a time for the […]

How can another whole year have gone by already?  The days and months are flying by. Yesterday I was on the floor of the sewing room laying peel and stick thin carpet squares – I am never satisfied with the floor – my chair flies across the room if there is nothing under it creating […]

Seeing as yesterday’s post didn’t have the new progress in it that is all today’s post is. The very center of the Log Cabin quilt had pieces added but truthfully I didn’t work on it yesterday at all these blocks were done on Saturday. The plan right now is to finish the 5th row and […]

I worked more on the log cabin blocks yesterday, I was going to start piecing rows but I decided to work on row 5 instead. I noticed yesterday that two of my Thanksgiving Cactuses that bloomed at Thanksgiving have decided to bloom again! Not as loaded with buds as it was but there are quite […]

We are pretty much in the “rainy” season in Arkansas.  Usually our winters are quite wet – rain not snow and this past two weeks it has been just that.  I look forward to dryer days already even if they will be cold – the next week for us in the 60’s and wet. So […]

We didn’t do much – I read, cooked a little, read some more, took a walk, read some more – I was going to do some sewing but Mike started to install Starlink for our internet and had to run wires in through the floor along the edge of the house in the sewing room […]

I don’t usually go shopping on Christmas Eve but Melanie had a few items she needed to get so I thought ok.  And you know it wasn’t as bad as I expected – I think half the people that I saw shopping last week had already finished and where out celebrating with some family – […]

I decided I had to occupy myself and stay out of the way while the repair techs were here to solve the problem of the heat pump not working and while they were here I got four blocks done (I think or was it three I would need to look back on photos to know […]

Between making time for PT and cleaning house and doing laundry I didn’t sit at the sewing machine at all and no more progress on the Log Cabin until Sunday. Most likely if there is a blog post on Sunday it will be later in the day or maybe not until Monday, I did get […]

Between Log Cabin blocks and getting Christmas cookie dough made I was busy all day. Three of the Log Cabin rows of blocks are now done – five more rows to do I had to stand back far to get it all in and then still part of the quilting frame blocks the wall a […]

Another busy out yesterday – I had Physical Therapy so I went ahead and ran errands before hand which meant no sewing machine work yesterday so no more logs built for the quilt on the wall.  Today will be busy  getting some cookie dough chilled for the baking on Saturday .  Friday I have another […]

I was sitting at the sewing machine off and on yesterday afternoon.  And more blocks were done – I don’t know if most of you can guess what the pattern is now but you will by the next row (half way for sure) I’m really liking how the bright colors seem to shine in places. […]

Slightly more than a quarter actually I hope to add 2 more blocks today at least.  But I have a hair cut appointment this morning and then Melanie and I are going grocery shopping – she worked over time most of the weekend so it getting today off instead.  Jessica and her dog Honey arrive […]

Once I get going on these log cabin blocks they move faster and faster.  I need a light color block on each side of row 2 and then 2 full rows will be done.  Yesterday we had a little rainy weather so wasn’t pleasant to be outside so it was an inside day.  I cut […]

Yesterday I managed to get 3 more blocks made for the Log Cabin quilt – the first row is done – now to get the 2nd row done some more – I’ve been adding more strips to the baskets as I go adding in more colors and more neutrals so I have more variety.  Some […]

Other than a very few cold days we have mainly been in the 50’s with just a few under freezing nights.  Crazy when I know some of you have snow on the ground and have had for several weeks. Yesterday I got the initial appointment set for PT and will go in on Friday to […]

Not a lot to report on sewing what with running to Little Rock for my doctor appointment all normal there like usual except I will be lining up some physical therapy for my lower back.  I will stop by that office today to see when I can start – the doctor says to get 6-12 […]
