English Paper Piecing – Quilts & Adventures

To Do Tuesday #193

Welcome back Quilty Friends! This week has been another busy week (surprise!) A couple of trips over the river to one of my local quilt stores. Once to pick up my machine for a Workshop on Saturday. Then again yesterday to pick up a foot for my machine that I had ordered but wasn’t there yet. Last Thursday was a quilt guild meeting. Sunday ended up being just a reading day to unwind from a crazy week.

I plan to link up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday Linkup.

Welcome back my Quilty Friends! Lots of Happy Mail this week to share. I did more prep work than sewing this week. Which is okay. I am making progress on WIPs and ended up starting another new project.

I plan to link up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday Linkup. Check out her blog at the link below:

To Do Tuesday #191

Welcome back to my quilty blog! This week was pretty good but most of it was spent in class learning my new Bernina 990 and everything it can do (which is everything but cook me dinner!). I am very excited at the possibilities. Not only does it have a laser light (where the needle is) but it also has a camera. It can even count my stitches and automatically stop when I am chain piecing! How crazy right? I don’t actually do a lot of chain piecing because I like sampler quilts or to build pictures of some kind.

I didn’t realize that it has been two weeks since I posted to my quilty blog. Two weeks in a row commuting to multiple day classes left me more exhausted than I remembered. Obviously, I am feeling as fresh as a daisy today!😂

Hello my Quilty friends! How is your summer going? We have had a mild summer here in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The last few days have been much warmer hitting a high of 87F. Sitting on my back patio with the breeze blowing, it’s perfect. Hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July. Fireworks started here last week and continued pretty late on Saturday night. Luckily nothing since.

My daughter Caitlin and her husband Jannes were on a backpacking trip to the Three Sisters 🏔️ in Oregon. I had cat duty. I went over on Saturday evening to check on the furbabies and feed them. They were good for the most part. Fireworks were non-stop in their neighborhood. She lives a half block away from a park. I was happy to go home. So happy in fact that I could appreciate how much quieter my neighborhood was. LOL! 😂 🧨🎇

Welcome back my Quilty Friends! Still totally enamored with the World Cup. Our Northern neighbor, Canada, did fantastic with advancement to Round of 16. I have on our Southern neighbor, Mexico, on while I work on this blog. So exciting. I wanted to get in a little more time on my projects this last day of June. I had a goal of finishing 10 blocks this month which I managed to do. Surprise!

Intentions to link up with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt again this week. Thanks Carol for continuing to provide this linkup. Be sure to check out the link if you want some inspiration.

Hello my Quilty Friends! Hope you are enjoying the summer and World Cup. Here in the PNW, we are currently experiencing another short heat wave before cooler weather and rain.

It has been exciting to follow the World Cup. Tomorrow the final group stage games start. I am hoping our Northern Neighbors can win their group, but even if they don’t they will move onto the Round of 32 knockout stage. So much fun watching all the big stars playing with my favorite being Messi. Such a humble man.

I am planning on linking up with Carol Schmilt @ Quilt Schmilt in British Columbia for another week of To Do Tuesday. Overall I feel pretty good about what I accomplished

Welcome back my quilty friends! While it has been a busy week, not much quilting happened. I never made it upstairs to my studio all week. BUT lucky for me, I had my english paper piecing hanging out with all my cross stitch projects.

I will be linking up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt again this week. Click on link above to go to her website. Look for To Do Tuesday blog posts to check out last week’s. But for the real fun, click on Linkup to check out everyone’s websites!

Welcome back my quilty friends. I hope everyone in US enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend. Here in the PNW it was a beautiful weekend. Well until Monday when we had the normal rain. My daughter was off camping with her husband of one year. Hard to believe they have been married a year. I hand the grand fur babies to keep an eye on. Since they are cats, they are easy. They greeted me with lots of love even though they prefer mom and dad.

While I had all these great plans to sew this weekend, I ended up spending the weekend reading. I finished 3 books over four days. I am almost caught up with my reading goal of 2026. I want to read/listen to 100 books this year. Before I started my weekend, I had TWO quilt zooms on Friday! I also spent most of Monday english paper piecing. So excited to share the results with you.
