What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

A little of each – but nothing on Alaska – today I hope.  Yesterday as I said we were going to Little Rock for part of the day – we did get home late afternoon but I got no time at the sewing machine to finish Alaska I hope to do that today. I did […]

Really and truly didn’t get done with a lot yesterday – I sewed the hanging sleeve on the back of Williamsburg Beauty and then I was trying it out on the wall and on the table deciding what I would do with it Here it is on the wall – lighting isn’t real good in […]

Yes I was busy yesterday – it was rainy – what else can you do – read, watch tv, and sew. First I finished the binding on Williamsburg Beauty and got it in the wash and dry.  Now it has that crinkly goodness that I like.  I pieced this quilt 3 years ago and I […]

Sewing didn’t start until the afternoon yesterday as I have added Saturday morning to my weekly exercise routine and got off to a late start. (we will see how long that last)  In the afternoon though I got busy on the binding for the Williamsburg Beauty quilt and now have 3 sides done – for […]

Thought I might take a day off of piecing Alaska blocks together into rows but I got busy on it yesterday morning and before you know it 5 of the 7 rows had blocks sewn – I will probably continue to work on those final two rows today and then start sewing those long rows […]

Yesterday was just a little of this and that!  I did get the first row of Alaska sewn together,and then made a hanging sleeve for Handful of Scraps.   I just wasn’t in the mood for the sewing machine.  After I get this quilt finished I will get back to work on A Charming Country Christmas […]

I am ready to get back to quilting – I know I said I would rest my fingers for about a week, but did anyone really believe that?  I got Dresden Garden on the frame and some of the Baptist Fans are marked and I’m ready to quilt. This is going to be a bit […]

Off the frame!!  There had only been a little bit left to do on this quilt Friday night and it is done.  I laid it on the floor to trim it and I need to clean off my table today to do a little trimming to square up before I make binding. This is the […]

Yesterday did not go as planned.  I had planned to have block 7 of Alaska finished and it wasn’t!  Instead I was fixing the signature block that got put in upside down.  Thank you Jeannie for letting me I would have been mad if it had gotten all the way to the quilt frame like […]

Sometimes I really wish I had a larger design wall so I could fill it up with two or three quilts in progress instead of having to take one down when I want another one up  – but most of us just have a small space for a design wall and if you are lucky […]

I thought seeing as I have most of the signature blocks I would get busy sewing all those blocks into rows and rows and rows into a top.  So I got busy with it – and by mid day all the rows were sewn. When I got back from exercising I got busy on the […]

It was a busy lazy day yesterday if that makes any sense – did this and that and moved to other things and all at a leisurely pace – if that makes any sense to you!!  Melanie and I did our grocery shopping together – nice to have that extra time to visit with a […]

This block was a little harder than most in this quilt – I think there are 3 of the blocks in this quilt that use this layout but in different color schemes.  I worked on it off and on yesterday and finished the four blocks.  I got to this point when I broke for lunch […]

I was busy yesterday and all four blocks of #5 done for the quilt Alaska.  It really helps to lay your block out I think next to the sewing machine when there are more than a couple pieces to sew.  In Edyta’s directions she breaks the block up into segments to show you what is […]

About time to show some progress – I will show all of the blocks for the RSC20 tomorrow for the link up but here today is the orange block that I finished yesterday morning – so I can put that box away now and work on the Alaska quilt to meet my goal for OMG. […]

Progress – I didn’t read as much yesterday and actually got another RSC20 orange block cut out for my Country Charmer quilt – I didn’t sew it – but it is ready for me to do today. One signature block was done – I know I have more coming in – the mail coming to […]

I just didn’t feel like much sewing yesterday – I was caught up in a book.  I did decide to redo that block I showed the other day for the RSC20 – that dark spot just bugged me – didn’t take but 5 minutes or so to redo. Original – you see the dark blob […]

71 degrees for February 2nd! wasn’t that nice.  It was time for a nice walk out at the trails – Melanie called and wanted to know did I want to take a walk – of course!  Such a nice day.  Not very green at this time of year – but give it another month and […]

Yesterday I didn’t get around to doing a lot of sewing, I had mentioned the weather was going to be nicer but it was still chilly in the shade, but the sun was out and that made it so nice.  Today maybe 70! for February 2nd that will be so nice and unusual – of […]

A lot got done on this quilt yesterday morning – the machine was stitching away.  All of the blocks I have are now on the wall – I’m not sure how many more are coming – I have a spot for 3 more and if more than that come in I will get creative and […]
