I quilt & design quilt patterns. Chocolate, cooking, traveling are also squeezed in around the edges. And I'm on edge a lot these days. opquilt.com/linkinbio

Sometimes, the random cold thing in the forgotten leftover container will be just fine. I’ve also eaten weird things at times like that.

Thanks for this. I saw this tree in our grocery store parking lot and wondered what it was. Very cool seed pods!

If so, that is beyond awful. When I lived near DC, that section was my favorite of all the cherry trees—they tended to escape notice from all the mob, and it was quiet and beautiful there.

Wow--these are pretty stunning. Can't believe you did TWO of them. Did you like using the Drunkard's Path block for the Hi/Lo? I love the overall pattern it made on your quilt. Bravo!!

Welcome to the Quilty clan! I've tried to follow a lot of the quilters I see on here, if you want to check them out. We have a good bunch of regulars, too!

It’s raining outside my window just now. And yes, it’s cooler here, too (relief!).

I wrote up about finishing the NMAI quilt top — plus — watching the opening day parade of the @smithsonian.bsky.social Museum some years ago (photo from that day). #quiltsky #nmaiquiltalong Click to read the post: opquilt.com/2026/10/11/n... Free block pattern also available for download.
Colorful native costume on Indians from South American women, in rainbow hues with feathered hats.  Taken at the parade held in Washington, DC at the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian more than a decade ago.  Blog post tells more about it.

Pretty amazing! Looking good — how big will it be?

Our local show used to do that, but changed it all last year. I guess they understand we like the security of knowing where our quilts are.

But what’s with the fighting the wealth tax? I like him a lot, but this is a head scratcher—surprised he weighed in.

Good luck with that border! I about ripped out my hair on that one…kept adding coping strips top and bottom, but then I didn’t want to unpick everything. Which I ended up doing anyway.

I hope so — and hope it goes together quickly.

I kind of felt like all my Halloween quilty decor was showing its age.

Glad to know I have a partner in crime! I’ll probably just make it like the kit says to. That way it will be hopefully faster to get it done.

Like I need one more thing to do! 😆 TBH, I’m kind of jazzed about this. 🧙‍♀️ #quiltsky #newproject #modafabrics
Box, then inside: two photos of a Halloween quilt kit of roses and ravens.

I have since seen a plastic surgeon’s analysis of how Things Went Wrong to create this face of hers. The dr. had a photo of the “before” Susan: she was quite lovely.

Thank you. I’ll go look it up.

Oh, I love this! I saw the lungs right away, and always hope to be the one on the left in a happy field of flowers. So great!

I love all of this—the dog, the background, the details. Another beautiful quilt, Linda!👏👏

I love how that happens in quilting: at first it’s just a bunch of pieces and our critical eye is in overdrive. But as we get going, it all begins to distill together and become the beautiful thing we envisioned. It’s lovely!

I love this! Both the saying and the quilt it’s on. ☺️

I am hoping so!

I love that red, white and blue quilt — did you invent it, or is it a traditional pattern? They are lucky babies to get these wonderful quilts — thank you!

Thanks! -- Putting that yellow-green there was a risk, but I like how it worked out.
