Quilting Chatter: February 2012
http://quiltingchatter.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2012. When a little birdie told me it had been a month since my last post! I'm still not sure I'd believe it if the date wasn't on it, I would have guessed 2 weeks.tops! But, a month it was and a busy one at that. 13 of 20 blocks are now quilted, a beautiful feathered border finished it off. Shawl number one didn't come out quite as I'd imagined. Quilting is never put aside for more than a day or so, Rachel's wedding quilt isn't nearly as far along as it should be so as soon as this...

Quilting Chatter: March 2011
http://quiltingchatter.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Sometimes I really feel like things are getting away from me. Trying to fit all I need to do and all I want to do in a day is a challenge. It always surprises me when I come back to post and find it's been a month since the last one. I would like to change that, I suppose it needs to be a line item in my planner each week. Still, there is something satisfying about putting words on a page and seeing bits of one's life in some semblance of order. Jonathan is looking forward to mak...

Quilting Chatter: Time Flies.....When You're Having Fun?
http://quiltingchatter.blogspot.com/2013/09/time-flieswhen-youre-having-fun.html
Sunday, September 29, 2013. Time Flies.When You're Having Fun? I guess it's been fun. I was shocked to log in and see how long it's been. I feel like I've spent most of that time putting out small fires, but overall things have been going well. I have my Christmas projects pretty well planned out and have started working in earnest. The weather is finally more Fall-like. It's warm today but the nights cool down and warm now isn't at all like summer warm in this part of the country. Ruthie continues to do...

Quilting Chatter: Believe it or not.....
http://quiltingchatter.blogspot.com/2013/07/believe-it-or-not.html
Wednesday, July 17, 2013. Believe it or not. I've been kicking around trying to get this going again and decided that I have the time and would really enjoy a record of what I have going on around here. I could write for days and days, so much has happened since my last posting. TWO of my children have gotten married since then, one last summer and one Memorial Day weekend. No post is complete without a Ruthie picture and the next will show some of what I've been working on. Mrs Sew and Sew - Karen.

Quilting Chatter: July 2011
http://quiltingchatter.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 8, 2011. It seems we're doing a lot of this these days. We are not downsizing our house, it's not that big to begin with, but we are able to start purging some unneeded things, and replace some well worn ones. I had 2 sets of dishes, a stoneware set that could be microwaved, but were rather cumbersome, and a set of second hand china which was pretty and not as heavy, but could not be microwaved because of the gold edge. Being a want and not a need, collecting these sets was a long term plan,...

Quilting Chatter: Current Projects
http://quiltingchatter.blogspot.com/2013/07/current-projects.html
Thursday, July 18, 2013. I'm not as good at multi-tasking as I used to be. The good part of that is I see projects finished more quickly because I only work on one or two at a time for the most part. I've been quilting in the daytime and knitting in the evening. Rebekah did Rachel's hair, along with all the bridesmaids, Ruthie, and Marshall's Mom that day. She worked from 9:30am until pictures started at 3:00. And now it's time for me to get back to work. I have a couple more hours of quilting today,...

Quilting Chatter: Shopping Spree
http://quiltingchatter.blogspot.com/2012/03/shopping-spree.html
Thursday, March 29, 2012. My Christmas gift from my family was a weekend trip to Mall of America, all expenses paid, including some spending money. It was set for the 23rd-25th of March so I'd have time to save up some additional spending money and also for the fun of anticipation. A few weeks ago, I was told the trip would actually run through the 26th, that they were hoping to do a third night but wanted to wait until they knew for sure. Here is my weekend in pictures. Me and my girls at the Mall.

Quilting Chatter: January 2012
http://quiltingchatter.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 28, 2012. I've had a string of busy weeks, today I'll be cooking for a family birthday dinner tomorrow. I'm making a fajita bar, which will have 3 kinds of meat with sauteed mushrooms and onions, peppers, beer battered onion rings, 2 side salads, and dessert. I'll do as much as possible today to minimize time in the kitchen tomorrow and maximize time with the family! Thursday, January 26, 2012. And hopefully can keep up with plan B. So I'll be trying to do short little updates every 2-3...

Quilting Chatter: February 2011
http://quiltingchatter.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 15, 2011. Blizzard 2011 and Other Musings. They predicted, and they predicted correctly. I think the official total for our area was 18", we haven't seen that much snow at one time for about 12 years. Of course, I don't want my loved ones stranded out in it, but with the predictions as they were, many businesses in the area were shutting down early on Tuesday and already shut down for Wednesday as the storm moved in late Tuesday afternoon. I stayed up until 3am Wednesday morning, partly...

Quilting Chatter: May 2011
http://quiltingchatter.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 7, 2011. This surely seems to be a recurring theme for me. I need to find a way to do short posts more often so I don't feel like I'm totally rambling when I do post. Rachel had a big month, too, she got engaged Easter weekend, on their 3rd anniversary together. We are planning another wedding but have more time this time, the target being June 2012. Along with the wedding will be a move, Marshall will be going to grad school, very likely in another state. Ruthie continues to do very well a...
