What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

19 of 30 blocks now completed for the Rose Garden – gosh this on is taking awhile and now it will sit aside again for a little bit while I whip up the 36 patch blocks and then the stars – and then prep the final block for the Love Letters quilt.  After that maybe […]

The quilting on the Pineapple Quilt is coming along really well and I feel I will finish it for sure this coming week – I’m estimating it should take about 5 more days at least to finish it.  The next up on the frame is the Drunkard’s Path quilt which is about the same size.  […]

Love Letters orange block got some work done on it – I should be done with this one and instead I am only little more than half way.  One orange leaf in the lower right side needs finishing for this half to be done.  Linking to Wendy’s Quilts and More — All of this still […]

I was out for a quite a bit yesterday so I didn’t get busy on things until late in the day.  My primary care doctor left the area awhile back and I had to find a new doctor – I really hate that when it happens because it has been one doctor after another the […]

Ok I didn’t get done with the yarn clean up – but it was a start.  I had yarn all over the living room it seemed and wanted to get my big basket empty and organize the yarn in it for the new crochet afghan – I think I really must get a couple plastic […]

I really made progress on one block yesterday – often these blocks take me several days to make so I was pleased with the progress.  I should be able to get it done sometime today I would think even though I am meeting Melanie for lunch and pick up a few things at the store.  […]

The last post I was busy all day – yesterday I wasn’t and didn’t get done with barely anything!  I was barely on the computer all day as Mike was going to install a new hard drive on my computer and I was busy outside.  The hard drive was installed late in the day and […]

Block #17 of Rose Garden is done – 13 more to go – this is how I spent my rainy day – yes one whole inch of badly needed rain – the air cooled off and windows are open for the first time in days – the A/C shut off – I always like it […]

Yesterday I finished block 16 for the Rose Garden and will get the table ready for the star RSC quilt.  The new color for the month should be announced today I haven’t seen any mention of it. And all on the wall – I need six rows and 5 in each row.  I need to […]

Yes I know I move really slow on piecing sometimes – but I want to get this block cleared off the cutting table so I can get ready for the new RSC color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge the new color will be out today or tomorrow.  So I am almost done with this block […]

The pineapple quilt is coming along nicely – I am getting very close to finishing row 6 This is a very easy quilt to quilt  – no fussy quilting in it just straight lines following the design of the piecing. Unpicking did happen for the Rose Garden block – I got the strips off with […]

I’ve got some unpicking to do and remake a few pieces!  Remember I mentioned that in the Rose Garden the prints have about 2-3 different shades to each of them – well I wasn’t careful enough and mixed up my shades – three of these have half square triangles darker than others – they are […]

I don’t think I did anything as planned on Friday – I just didn’t feel like sitting at the machine and I was listening to an audio book and working on applique and knitting for a good part of the day. One Pumpkin on the runner  is done and on to the leaf’s on that […]

Yes a lot was accomplished on this 4th or is it 6th extra hot day inside!  the pumpkin runner was laid out and pumpkins glue basted in place – I have changed up the design a little bit and keep in mind I needle turn applique which I have done for years so it can […]

Getting closer to getting the glue basting done on the Pumpkin runner but my hands were aching a little so it took off and on all day to cut the pieces out – of course it helped after awhile when I realized it was the scissors I was using and not the hands.  I have […]

First off block #15 of the Rose Garden is done – half of the blocks now finished – the center will be six across 5 rows down. Linking to Patchwork and Quilting — A little applique was done as well and Love Letters is progress – Left side done and started on the lower right […]

I only got back to piecing for a short while yesterday to finish out the flying geese units for block #15 of The Rose Garden  – I just didn’t have much energy yesterday for some reason – high humidity maybe that was the reason – sometimes when it is really high humidity weather I just […]

That is one more Rose Block done but I thought the title cute combined!  14 blocks done almost to the half way – I need 30. On the wall The Love Letters block – 4 stems/leaf’s done and working on the second stem from the center on the left – when I get done with […]

We have seen more deer in the yard this summer than we ever have it seems (and we have been here 40 years) – and it has mostly been the fawns and yearlings.  I got started cooking supper and looked out the window and there two very young deer were very close to the back […]

Other than running some errands early yesterday morning I was pretty much in the house most of the day – it got up to 97 and stayed there for awhile – thank heavens it was low humidity but still too hot.  I had my porch time at 7 AM for 45 minutes drinking my tea […]
