What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Oh no – there are more – some I actually forgot about and one I didn’t forget but forgot to mention it.  Some of you will be familiar with the one I call “The Rose Garden” – the actual name for this one was “La Rosaraie” – I got part way done with it and […]

We had rain – not a lot – but 3/4” is better than nothing and it was a slow light rain so it was soaking in.  Maybe more today and Sunday – I hope and it was much cooler in the 80’s the weatherman was saying though not to get used to it that we […]

This little quilt is growing slowly I am only working on it about a week at a time for the last couple months although the quilt was started last year (before I went and decided to make 5 RSC quilts).  To get these small Friendship Stars moving along a little faster I took time to […]

Just a few more stars done for the Rose Garden  – I was going to do more but I spent part of the morning trying out the new car by taking it to a doctor appointment that is about 35 minutes from me – the dermatologist – I had 3 things on my back for […]

Even though it is hot every single day we have been getting out a little bit – normal for us after we get a new car, we just want to keep trying it out!  We drove to Petit Jean State Park which is about 40+miles from us – it had been ages since we have […]

Finally got the Rose Garden back out to play with for a couple days – when I last left off on this quilt I had decided to put a border of “friendship stars” around it – I’m pretty sure that is what you all told me the name of the blocks.  I am using pieces […]

I tell you some days you make so many mistakes that you seem to make very little progress – I had been working on my little stars and two blocks I had to rip apart for facing half square triangles the wrong direction – I threw in the towel and said better luck today – […]

The progress is coming to me as I design the next steps for the Rose Garden trying to use pieces that I have in the boxes already cut.  The little stars will work out well.  This is the first one I didn’t get very far as it was another nice day and I was using […]

Although I didn’t get any machine work done I did go through fabric and added more pieces to the box for The Rose Garden.  I pinned red strips to the wall for the next border – I left it there all day looking at it and decided yes that is what is next and then […]

You know I had put the box away with all the extra fabric that had not been cut into yet for The Rose Garden that I didn’t remember what I had left!  I have enough here to make a queen size quilt I do believe and a table runner.  As you know I decided not […]

The Rose Garden moved along just a little – the two borders that you see are just a tad too long by about a 3/4’s of an inch so I am going to just take in 3 or 4 seams a little bit to get them right.  I will probably need to do that on […]

I’m happy to have gotten a good start on this quilt after it has sat aside for so many months – even with the points chopped off in so many places it will still make a good quilt – size to be determined!    These blocks sewn together and a narrow cream border to tie it […]

Well the Carpenter’s Wheel is done for the month – 6 blocks done – 4 more to go – not sure of the layout still – it might not be on point – it might stay on point – color of course will be distributed more. Up on the wall, photo taken and then cleared […]
