I am new to Ohio Quilters. Just wondering why the blog posts are so old? (2011). Do you all not blog, and just comment?

For those who would be interested in making this top as a "challenge"- to keep each other encouraged, it would be fun to see our progress and do a "show 'n tell" as we go along. It will be easier to…Continue

Just take things easily, Sherri. Sew a few at a time and spread it out so you don't get tempted to do too much.
things coming along the first week was hell but started feeling better a couple of days ago It's only been a week since i've been in the brace and i keep looking into my sewing room and wondering if i could sew something with one useable arm. the sewing I think i could but unable to cut pieces i have JARFUL OF 2" SQUARES I UsE FOR LEADERS AND EnDERS I COULd SEW SOME OF THEM together just to get a small fix
Oh no Sherry -- take care and heal quickly. What an awful start to 2021.
Oh, No! Sherri, you take care of yourself! That's awful news and it doesn't seem like 2021 is starting off well at all - for you and many others! On the plus side, you've now got time to watch some quilting tutorials! Nap time is always good, in my opinion.
For a touch of humor - at my expense - someone posted the phone number of the hospital to let us know we could sign up to get our names on the list for the vaccine. I saw it late last night so, I called this morning and got the "mailbox is full" message. Oy!
no i havent Sheila 2021 started out horribly for me thrs night when i got off work at midnigt i fell in the parking lot landed on my shoulder and my face i live 5 miles from work so somehow managed to get myself into my car and drive home early next day went to ORTHOPEDIC INSTITUE because i thought i dislocated my shoulder but no i broke it in 2 places and when i hit my face on the concrete my teeth went through my upper lip that however is minor compared to the pain in the shoulder. so my sewing days are on hold have to wear the brace 6 weeks thank god for pain pills cant imagine getting addicted to these all i do is sleep when i take one BUT I am thankful for my DD JEN and spouse PAUL THEY are taking good care of me. HE has been bugging me to quit this job but i plan to work until summer typing with one hand is too slow have to figure out the verbal thingy where i talk and computer types what I say time for a nap
Sherri, you're sew industrious! Have you seen the video Jordan Fabrics did on borders?
Finished all 49 blocks of my scrappy. Sewed them into rows yesterday... Today hope to sew the rows together. Then come up with a border. I am not really a fan of plain borders that are just a strip of fabric so trying to come up with something that uses some pieced blocks integrated with some of those strips. Normally I like a quilt without a border but this one I want to add some inches to this quilt.
I think we all have the "Squirrel!" issue, Sherri so don't despair. I'm sitting here with time on my hands and can't seem to motivate myself enough to work on anything. I just got some lovely fabric to do the Lori Holt Granny's Garden quilt, some crazy quilt paper that Lori Holt did is staring me in the face, some gorgeous FQ's arrived in the mail yesterday, and I'm just got a plethora of UFO's I've been ignoring. I haven't even gotten to play with my new Grace Q-zone set up b/c I'm waiting for my husband to correct the channel lock set up on it. Grrr...
Tomorrow is a new day and a new year - Let's plan on making it better!
Happy New Year!
I did one mystery and glad I did but really have no inkling to do another. I liked doing it and loved the final project En Provence, which was several years ago.
I just have trouble sticking with one project at a time. That is how I get so many UFOs. for instance yesterday I got a pck of greeting carcs in the mail You know the ones from an organization that wants you to send them money. The cards are really beautiful and several have motif's on them I would like to translate into applique for a small qult. Things like this just distract me from my plans, which are always a bit shaky anyway. And then my spouse bugs me to take that daily walk. And I am glad he does, I need to do that. Today it will be cold, there is a light dusting of snow here in NW OH. But that won't stop us from at least a short walk in the park. Unless there is ice on the paths we will walk. A broken hip from a fall in the park not something I want to experience. Good buy and good riddance to 2021, irt's been a tough year personally with family health as well as the health of the Republic. Im glad to shut the door on 2020. Happy New year Ladies. I guess the next time we meet it will be a New Beginning. I'm sure we will be asleep before the ball drops in Times Square. we usually are.
I've always been told that I'm too "detailed" (for lack of a better word) but, I'm no where near that detailed, Sherri! I think I got to a point where I just said, F-it. I'm much happier now. LOL!
I do like that Bonnie Hunter pattern, too. I wish I had time to participate in her mysteries...
Hope all had a good Christmas. I'm off until the 4th of January but, can't seem to motivate myself.
