QUILT DIARY: Under the needle for January 2021

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: October Sewalong Updates

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.

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?

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: Updates for February 2020

It has been a very busy two weeks since my last posting.  Unfortunately, not a lot of quilting has happened with time on the road and my daughter Caitlin home visiting.  She left to go skiing today for this next week.  When she gets back, Shaun and I will be at the first round of hockey playoffs in Simi Valley, CA.  Let’s get started with the updates.
