WIP Wednesday

I managed to quilt some more on my Wild Onion jacket.  I decided to just stipple around the motifs I quilted.  I don’t know whether this will turn out to be anything I will actually wear, but I’m having a blast playing around on it.  I’m having so much fun just playing with my machine and [...]

Tuesday Tidbits

Sunday night the weather began changing.  The wind was picking up.  This triggered a headache for me, by Monday morning.  Not a whopping, huge headache, but enough to make me feel yucky all day.  The wind yesterday was blowing from the south, and it gusted up to 62 mph! YUCK! A neighbor, two houses down, returned [...]

Sunday Stash Report

I didn’t buy any fabric.

I started my first try at a Wild Onion jacket. I shopped my stash for the fabric, which was a total of 8 yds. If you click the link, it will take you to my post about it, with pics, and I’m asking for advice on the filler quilting.  I’d love to [...]

Playing Around Wild Onion Style

I was really itchin’ to do some stitchin’ yesterday, so I picked out some fabric, got my Wild Onion pattern out, and started playing.  I don’t know how successful my design ideas will be in the end, but I’m having fun.  I’m scattering some organic looking designs allover, in random spaces, with Autumn Rainbows, then [...]

Off to a Great Start Today!

My son feels fabulous today…not even in pain.  He’s just doing amazingly well.  I flipped on Fons & Porter on PBS, as I was getting dressed this morning, and Marilyn Badger was on, and it was an episode I hadn’t seen.  I love that they are doing some longarm episodes.  So I quickly dressed and [...]

Reporting in!

My patient is doing well! The oral surgery to remove the wisdom teeth went perfectly.  He was really cute & funny coming out from under the anesthesia.  He is only just now starting to feel a little pain, and took one of his pain pills.  Hopefully it won’t make him sick.  Thanks so much for [...]

Thursday Thoughts

It’s been a pretty good week so far.  Nothing out of the ordinary.  I think I forgot to mention that I finally finished painting the entryway.  Remember, I started on that back before Thanksgiving.  Before my shoulder and back had that bad spasm.  Come to think of it, maybe that helped bring on that episode.  [...]

Brrrrr

I just felt compelled to tell y’all it was a whopping 8 degrees here when I went to work this morning.  Now at lunch, it has warmed up a whole 12 degrees, to 20.  But the sun is shining!

Sunday Stash Report Time

Finally, I am back in a quilting mood.  I finished trimming the stripe blocks for my two 9P & stripe quilts.  I pulled fabric from my stash for the background squares and setting triangles for each quilt.  The pattern calls for 2.75 yds each, but I washed up 3 yds apiece.  I hate to end [...]

I Was Starting to Wonder….

Where my “quiltiness” had gone.  I just haven’t been into it for the last couple of weeks or so.  But today, I feel the urge returning.  I just put seven yard of fabric in the wash, from my stash, to start cutting the background squares & triangles from, for my EB 9P’s & Stripes quilts.  I [...]
