How has your January been? Here in California we have had the strangest weather. You may recall that last week we had sunny days in the high 70’s. It began to rain on Friday and hasn’t stopped. We had temperatures drop below freezing over the weekend. Crazy indeed!

QUILT DIARY: What’s Under My Needle in December
I’ve been in the office and on the road a lot more this month than I thought I would. I did manage to still get a few things done.

I finally hit a wall and have had to take a step back. I had so many sewalongs going on that I fell behind and then I was feeling terrible about myself. When I realized I wasn’t having fun anymore, I dropped the idea of joining two more sewalongs starting at the end of September and beginning of October.

I’m going for shorter post today and just going to talk about what I have been working on this week. Like most of you, I have very productive weeks and not so much other weeks. This is a middle of the road week. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: What’s Under My Needle to wrap up August”
Quilt Diary: Going on a Picnic and other Sew-a-long Updates
It is hard to believe that we are now in the last week of July. Where did the month go? I kept thinking I was going to post every week. LOL! That never happened. Realistically the writing gets done, it is the photography that is lagging behind. This time around I thought I could do a follow-up on all of my Sew-a-Longs.
It feels weird not participating in the 100 days 100 blocks this year as I have done it the last two summers. I still have 2018 and 2019 to assemble. Plus it is not a new pattern this year. It takes a lot of effort to do a block every day although 100 days is easier than 365 days. For 2020, I am sticking with some easier sew-a-longs so I can get caught up. Is that an oxymoron?

Quilt Diary: June Goals and Update
I started a blog two months ago and never published it. I apologize for my inconsistency these past few months. I will try and close the gap and not make this too long of a blog. I have been busy with my projects as well as work and home.

Quilt Diary: Challenges and Sew-A-Longs April Update
As you saw last post, I have a ton of projects. I thought I would take this post to update you on everything that did NOT make the Finish-A-Long list. Those are challenges or projects that are more than three months long. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: Challenges and Sew-A-Longs April Update”
Quilt Diary: First APQResolution2020 finish!!!
This is a crazy world we are living in right now. I will keep my thoughts and views to myself as I know I think very different than most people on what is happening in the world today. So let’s move on to more fun topics – like Quilting!! Continue reading “Quilt Diary: First APQResolution2020 finish!!!”
Quilt Diary: February 2020 Goals
Time flies by! It has already been another week. I thought I could update you on what I have been doing this week towards my February goals. Even though this is a big travel month, I do also have some home time. I think it will end up being a very balanced month. My daughter is coming for a visit next week. She is going to watch Shaun play hockey next weekend and come home with us. Then her boyfriend will be flying up and the two of them will be skiing for a week. When she gets back, Shaun and I will be gone to another hockey tournament. Including this weekend, that is 3 weekends of hockey, hockey, hockey. There is only one weekend without hockey and luckily Caitlin will be here.
On to quilting….. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: February 2020 Goals”
Quilt Diary: January 2020 Wrap Up
As I begin this blog it is Saturday morning, February 1st. On our way to tutoring (and Starbucks), I realized I haven’t posted for awhile. I’m torn between giving a rundown on everything or sticking to one area. When I do the rundowns, they are such a long post. I keep meaning to have more posts but shorter. #sigh So far that has been a pipe dream. As the title suggests, I have decided to do the rundown on what I have done the past two weeks. Hopefully, this post will not go on and on. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: January 2020 Wrap Up”
