Wednesday Wait Loss 425 from The Inquiring Quilter

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 ...

Midweek: mystery belatedly begun, placemats + reading from With Strings Attached

 



Almost-full moon at 5:30 this morning.  Didn't we just have a full moon? The days and nights fly by.






I thought I'd signed up for the guild's 2025 mystery quilt-along in January but it turned out that I hadn't.  I rectified the omission by paying the $10 fee at the meeting last week.  Five weeks' clues dropped into my email box. 

The pattern requires 3-1/2 yards of background (tone-on-tone recommended) and either a jelly roll or 40 2-1/2" strips.  I had a 4-yard piece in lavender (estate sale purchase $5) for the background ...

Midweek: my day at the hop! from With Strings Attached

 

I'm delighted to be among the participants in this week's Dust Off a Quilt Book Blog Hop sponsored by Bea (BeaQuilter).


I have MANY quilt books.   In the 1990's when I began quilting seriously I was purposely very frugal and checked out quilting books from the library.  If I paid full price for a book (quilting or otherwise) I thought about it long and hard.  But, as a librarian, I could also buy books at the library discount (40%) and I did!   

Now the bookselling market is all over the place. I've shopped publishers' warehouse sales ...

Midweek: a walk and round 6 from With Strings Attached

"Hello, fan club!" 
 

Tuesday afternoon the temperature reached 51 degrees, about 40 degrees higher than a week ago.  We paid a visit to the state park.  It felt good to stretch my legs.

 Yuccas stay green.   The fungus reminded me of hand- and foot-holds on a climbing wall.  There's still a little snow.

SAHRR round 6 in progress.  Come back on Friday to see the flimsy.

Midweek: round 5 underway + dust off a book decision from With Strings Attached

 


SAHRR Round 5 so far.  I've made all the quarter-log cabin units (3" finished).  I hope to have all four borders sewn on by Friday. 





I'm participating in Bea's (BeaQuilter) Dust Off a Book blog hop next month.  I'm perusing quilt books, dusty or not, to choose a project to make. 

I do not lack choices. (There are more quilt books than these.)


Linking up with Wednesday Wait Loss -- thanks for the shout out today, Jennifer.

Midweek: SAHRR surprise from With Strings Attached


Looking out the front door at 10 a.m.  The storm has been predicted for three days.  3"? 6"? 8"?  I'm glad we don't have to go anywhere today.  






Old Town awaits the outer border. I am hoping that the little checkerboards didn't stretch out on the edges . . .



BUT!





I did not have any units on hand for this week's Stay at Home Round Robin prompt for "slashed/sliced" blocks.  I had to resort to sewing but that was no hardship. They were easy to make and,  miraculously, they fit perfectly.

Midweek: fifty years ago from With Strings Attached

 

In January, 1975, I was home in Northbrook between Alpha Gamma Delta leadership consultant assignments. I posed for this photo with my entire my needlework output.

Here are the details.

* The green cross-stitch quilt was the first one I made. It's a Bucilla kit, double-bed sized.  I made it in 1973-74 when I was in graduate school (embroidery first semester, hand-quilting second semester).  It was my bedspread until I got married.  I got a lot of good use out of both the quilt and the degree.  The quilt is still in pretty good condition, considering that it's been ...

Midweek: WITB rediscovery from With Strings Attached


The moon this morning.  The phone camera shutter doesn't like the cold!   










Our kitchen counter this week.  The 5-year-old dishwasher is on the fritz (error code "H20" meaning that the water pump isn't pumping).  The repairman can't get here until next Monday.  I had a dish rack but no drainboard; fortunately I had a large plastic container in the cupboard.


# # # # # #


WITB = what's in the box?  Though technically this project was in a drawer.  

A long time ago I began to deal with a ziploc bag of 1.5" HSTs by making cat's cradle units. (I ...

Midweek: 25 blocks, OMG 2025, top-a-long from With Strings Attached

 



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. 



I signed up for the Top-a-long with Running Doe Quilts .  She is a designer for Villa Rosa. One pattern a month with the goal of making a flimsy.  Getting it quilted is not required.  The January pattern is Amelia . 

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 ...
