What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Welcome to Wednesday Wait Loss!

WWL is a place where you can share photos of quilts you’re working on and get encouragement to finish them from our Wednesday Wait Loss group! As you can see, I’ve been doing this for years (over 400 weeks!) and so our group is strong, loves to share, and is very welcoming.

Here’s how it works. Every week I start out by sharing what I’ve been working on. Then I share the projects from the previous week that most inspired me so that they will inspire you too! This is followed ...

All 25 Old Town blocks are assembled.  I think the design looks good this way but the sashing, which I have yet to make, kicks it up several notches.  I will persevere.

I've begun something new. 

These are big blocks -- 17" finished -- and that 8-1/2" center square called for the jumbo Kaffe flowers.  

My One Monthly Goal for January ...

I faithfully remembered the first-day rabbit, rabbit charm.

 I'm trying a variation to the traditional Hoppin' John.  It's a  recipe from the Washington Post:   Jollof Rice.  In addition to the black-eyed peas it has brown rice, canned tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, onion, garlic, tumeric, and thyme.   The peas are simmering now (with salt pork) and smell delicious.

This was us last evening.   

We watched Dalgleish (based on P.D. James mysteries) and an episode of The Larkins (delightful!).

I finished the table runner for the gift exchange at tomorrow's Rotary meeting.  I searched the stash and eventually found just the right fabric.   (I realize that I mispieced the Air Castle block at the bottom so it looks a little clunky. Too late!) 

Now I'm working on the coral HSTs for the Old Town mystery. I made 5 sets Tuesday evening.  Many more to come.

It came just in the (Saint) nick of time.    I had enough batting left for Black Diamond Strings without resorting to making a frankenbatt.   

I auditioned several prints for the backing before I remembered this one. It's genuine vintage (36" wide), a gift from an AAUW friend some years ago.  There's a yard remaining.

I used black thread to quilt serpentine lines through the center strings and at each block intersection.

 It's been a quiet week so far.  Perhaps I'm simmering down after the disappointment of the election results, resigned to the announcements about the change in government and all the analyses of what happened.   

 S had dentist appointments Monday and Tuesday which went well (whew).  Last evening my P.E.O. chapter met by Zoom.  The program was given by a church choir director (a chapter sister is in that choir) who is also a middle school music teacher. She talked about requiems, the funeral masses set to music.   I had no idea there was so much to ...

I crossed paths with a praying mantis at Illinois Beach State Park yesterday.   I tried to get a head-on photo but it moved too quickly.

The squirrels decided to carve our pumpkin.  Ooooh noooo, Mr. Bill!
