Chilhowie: The Second Finish for 2026

I'm currently in Texas, hanging out with My Girl and Queenie.  I spent most of last week getting ready to travel and not as much time in the sewing room. But I did reach one big milestone. The quilting of Chilhowie was completed and I made getting it bound a priority so I had a second finish to add to my tally before we cross into the later half of the year. 




Chilhowie was the 2022 Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt.  I opted to make just 9 blocks, the quilt still turned out to be a good sized lap quilt at 61" x 62".  

The backing is pieced using the blocks from the pieced border that I decided not to add along with a couple of older pieces of yardage from the stash. 



The paisley print was used in a quilt started in 2010.  So it's close to 20 years old.  The dark brown was a Connecting Threads purchase that just hadn't found its way into a project yet. 

This is the second quilt I've quilted on my sewing machine. The first whole quilt that I've attempted. 




The quilting is pretty simple. Just diagonal lines across the center and a set of 3 straight lines in the borders. The stitching looks much more even and straight in the later quilting efforts. I've learned a large part of quilting on your sewing machine is figuring out how to manipulate the quilt so it doesn't drag when it's going under the walking foot. I'm not in love with the quilting part of the finishing process. But now that I'm retired, it just makes sense for me to tackle my smaller quilts.  So there will definitely be more walking foot quilting this year. I've already got my next project to be quilted picked out.

Stitching Stuff: Week 25 of 2026



 It's been a busy week, just not in the sewing room. Still I did pretty well at working in my 15 minutes most days. 


  • 15 minute days/week = 6/7 days
  • 15 minute days/June = 19/20 days
  • 15 minute days/2026 = 168/171 days
  • Success rate = 98.25%

I'm hanging out with My Girl this week.  I was supposed to visit back in March, but My Guy's change in employment nixed those plans. Then my series of unfortunate physical maladies kept getting in the way. My Girl got Friday off for Juneteenth, so this seemed like a good time to come visit since we'd have a three day weekend. I drove down on Thursday. That's the day I missed my stitching time as I was pretty tired after being on the road for 10 hours.  We've been out and about the last two days. 




After a full day of shopping on Friday, we decided coffee and breakfast pastries with a side of good books made for a reasonable girl dinner (we had a big lunch).  After two days of being out and about, the plan for today is to stay in and do our own thing.  I brought the sewing machine, so that's my plan for today. 

How did it go in your sewing room this week.

To Do List for the Week of 6/16/2026

Last week was a good one for progress, it's just that most of that progress was just on two projects.  But I did a bit on everything that was on my list.  


To Do List for 6/8/2026

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Prep quilt top for quilting - progress

2. Chilhowie: Continue quilting ✔

3. Lupine and Laughter: Continue assembling quilt ✔

4. Good Fortune: Continue making blocks ✔

5. Wild and Goosey: Continue sashing blue blocks ✔


Most of the week was spent on Chilhowie and the 2025 Guild BOM projects. Chilhowie is a finished quilt, I just haven't had a chance to get final glamor shots for it. That will happen today. A finish always makes one feel like they've been pretty productive. Hopefully I can carry that momentum into this week's to do list.


To Do List for 6/16/2026

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Finish prepping quilt top for quilting



    

Giving the quilt top a good pressing and removing the loose strings always takes time, but it's worth doing.  I took this photo so I wouldn't forget to get one of the prep work.  Since this was taken, I've moved on to the last row of blocks.  It's been pressed and seen a pass of the lint roller, I still need to deal with some loose threads.  I'm hoping to get this finished up and delivered to the long arm quilter tomorrow. Fingers crossed this will be finished in July.  

2. Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter) Continue assembling quilt. 




Just two rows left to assemble and then it will be time for borders. What looks like black is actually a very deep purple.  I'm pretty happy with how this one is coming together.  I'm hoping this is a finished quilt top by the end of the month.  

3. Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making main blocks




I finished all the chain blocks and got started on finishing up the main block.  There's a lot of HSTs and stitch and flip corners for this block so it's been slow going, but it is going.

4. Celtic Solstice (Bonnie Hunter): Cut fabrics needed to finish blocks

I found the project box and looked at the finished blocks, but didn't really look very closely at what pieces had already been cut. I don't like to just stand and cut, so I'll work that in with my sewing time. 

5. 2026 Guild BOM: Finish block instructions and cut pieces for blocks

I have block instructions written for August and September.  I've started on the instructions for the October block.  I need to play with some fabric scraps to be sure I've got the pieces sized right for the October block before I finish those instructions.  The block for July gets shown at the guild meeting tonight, so I need to get going on August pretty quickly.  

6. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue sashing blue blocks

This has been a slow process as I've been using this as my leaders and enders project. But there has been progress, I just didn't get a picture this week.  

A longer list then I've had recently, but most of it is prep stuff so I can keep moving along with some of the older projects.  If I don't get to all of it, that's OK.  It helps me to see where I'm going next.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday

Stitching Stuff: Week 24 of 2026

 


Nothing else "broke" this week. The shoulder is back to normal. I started PT for my back and knee, so I've been a bit sore the past couple of days, but a good soreness.  The only bummer is the medication I'm on for my knee is making my stomach very unhappy. I've got 2 more months of it before we decide if it's going away or not. Getting older can be so not fun.  

But the being retired part of being old is going well.  I made good use of my retirement time to get back into the sewing room while everything is mostly feeling good. I more than met my 15 minute/day goal for the week.

  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/June = 13/13 days
  • 15 minute days/2026 = 162/164 days
  • Success rate = 98.78% 

So it's been a good week on the productivity front.  Hopefully that continues this week. 

Queenie, My Girl's kitty, has decided her person shouldn't be leaving the house for work.  



Queenie has starting sitting on My Girl's shirt during the getting ready to go morning routine.  I'm not sure how My Girl got past that "I mean business" face, but I do know she made it to work Friday. 

How are things going in your sewing room this week?

Week 155 Photo Challenge: Bees/Butterflies in Wildflowers

Our weekly photo challenge has become a more monthly thing as the cards in the latest pack are a lot more challenging. Our last post was back in early May. So here we are in early June with our latest efforts.  Thankfully this time the card we pulled was well matched to the season. 


At least My Guy and I had access to lots of wildflowers. My Girl not so much. So she sat out this challenge.  The spring rains brought lots of wildflowers, but at the same time with all the rain, catching bees or butterflies on said flowers was more of a challenge.  


Kate: Bees and Black Eyed Susans


The Black Eyed Susan were really thick this year. There were lots of honey bees buzzing about, but not as many bumble bees as we typically see.   

My Guy ranged a little farther from the house and found a huge plot of Queen's Ann Lace with a few critters buzzing about. 




The butterfly is a Gray Hairstreak.  My Guy passed along that those little appendages on the wing move almost constantly, so predators tend to attack the back of the butterfly first.  

The next challenge card sticks to the insect world, but the challenge is not photograph the insect but their home. 





Cobwebs are in season it seams. I certainly vacuum up a number of them this time of year.   Hopefully all of us can find something for this challenge.

To Do List for the Week of 6/8/2026

My weekend wasn't as productive as normal, but I certainly made up for it during the week.  I finished the to do list and a bit more.  

To Do List for 6/2/2026

1.  2025 Guild BOM:  Prep back for quilting ✔

2.  Chilhowie: Continue quilting ✔

3.  Lupine and Laughter: Continue working on main blocks ✔

4.  Wild and Goosey: Continue sashing blue blocks ✔


A good week on the progress front.  I'm hoping for the same with this week's to do list. 


To Do List for 6/9/2026

1.  2025 Guild BOM: Prep quilt top for quilting




The backing is pressed and de-threaded.  The quilt top isn't going to go quickly.  I suspect it will take me most of next weekend to get it prepped.  

2. Chilhowie (Bonnie Hunter): Continue quilting




The cross hatching is done.  After a consultation with my late night sewing buddies, I'm going to move on to quilting the borders this week.  I'm hoping to have a completed quilt soon. 

3. Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter): Continue assembling quilt

Having two late night sewing sessions really helped move the main blocks along for this quilt.  I'm going to cut the border strips so those are ready to sew.  This should be a finished quilt top before the end of the month.  

4. Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making blocks 




Working on this project wasn't in last week's list.  But after making such good progress on Lupine, I needed some block construction to work in between assembling the rows for the other project.  After yesterday's photo of the black and purple blocks, I thought these were done. Nope, still need to make another 4 blocks.  But that's not too bad. There should be progress on main blocks this week too. 

5. Wild and Goosy (Bonnie Hunter): Continue sashing blue blocks  



 

These blocks are my current leaders and enders project. So it's been slow going.  There will be 16 sashed blocks once all of the flying geese units have been sashed, so not quite halfway there.

Fingers crossed this week is as good as last week on the progress front.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

Making Progress on the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Backlog

It was a pretty productive week, which resulted in a not so hot weekend.  One of our local quilt shops has a late night sew one night a week. This week the shop decided to host two late night sewing sessions. It's usually a pretty fun session with lots of stories, laughter and valuable quilt making feedback. The only problem is the sewing set up isn't the best from an ergonomic standpoint for me. One late night isn't an issue, but apparently that second 6 hour session wasn't such a good idea. I woke up early Friday with a shoulder that was absolutely on fire. Which meant limited sewing time for most of the weekend. 

Such is life these days. But moving on. With two late night sewing sessions, I finished all the blocks for Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter 2025 mystery), but completely forgot to take a picture of them while there were up on the shop's design wall.  




The first two rows are assembled and are pinned together for stitching  Assembling the third row is in progress. The Lupine blocks should be all sewn together this week.  Not sure all the borders will be done, but hopefully those will at least be started this week.  Lupine and Laughter should be a finished quilt top before the end of the month.

Since Lupine was progressing so well, I took a look at my UFO list to decide what set of blocks to finish up next. And decided next up was going to be Good Fortune, the 2018 Bonnie Hunter mystery. Last week I cut all the fabrics needed to finish up the blocks.  The alternate block is simpler, so I started with finishing up the 4 patches needed to make the remaining blocks. 




And made some progress on assembling a few of those alternate blocks. 



I need to check my block counts again, this may be all the alternate blocks I need.  If so, next comes finishing up the main blocks. 

Since my progress has been so good and I couldn't really sew this weekend, I was looking in my project boxes to decide what's next.  Of the 14 Bonnie Hunter mysteries I've started, 7 are completed quilts and 4 are quilt tops.  That leaves just 3 that need to be moved to quilt tops.  With Lupine and Good Fortune moving along, I decided to tackle the last unfinished mystery, Celtic Solstice (2013 mystery) next.  



I played around in Electric Quilt and decided how big to make the quilt top.  About the half blocks needed for the planned quilt top are  made.  Sometime in the next couple of weeks, I'll start cutting pieces needed to finish these blocks.  

The 2022 Bonnie Hunter Mystery, Chilhowie, is my current home machine quilting project.  It should be a completed quilt by the end of the month.  Slowly but surely, my BH mystery backlog is getting closer to finished quilts.

Stitching Stuff: Week 23 of 2026


We've had rain and a couple of hot, humid days this week. Perfect stitching weather.  Hot and humid is even less fun than being out in the rain. Playing in the sewing room was definitely the preferred activity this week.  


  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/May = 30/31 days
  • 15 minute days/June = 6/6 days
  • 15 minute days/2026 = 155/157 days
  • Success rate = 98.73%

June is off to a good start on the stitching front.  I'm making good progress on my to do list and on my goals for the year.  It's a nice place to be just before we hit the halfway point in the year.  

How are you doing with your stitching goals?

May 2026 PHD Report

May went fast. Hard to believe that at the end of this month we'll be half way through 2026.  Looking back, May was a pretty productive month, even though my PHD report didn't change.  





I'm still going to link up with Ms P Designs for the May PHD report to show that no finish isn't the same as no progress.  





The goal for 2nd and 3rd quarter this year is to tackle my UFO pile.  Good Fortune was the 2018 Bonnie Hunter mystery. The project box had a pile of both A and B blocks, with a few other odds and ends from the various steps.  The A and B blocks will go into one quilt, the blocks that were supposed to be the pieced borders will either get worked into the quilt back, or into a separate quilt top.  The total number of blocks has been decided and all the pieces to make those blocks have been cut.  Probably won't make any additional progress on this project till this year's BH mystery is a finished quilt top. 





Progress on Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter) has been slow since sashing the blue blocks has been my leaders and enders project for most of May. Slowly, but surely more 7" blocks are showing up on the design wall.  



Chilhowie, the 2022 Bonnie Hunter Mystery, was the next project on my "to be quilted" list.  Still need to add the second set of cross hatch lines to the left side of the quilt. I've figured out how to feed the quilt to the machine without dragging, so the stitching has been much more even on the more recent quilting lines.   





The 2024 Bonnie Hunter Mystery, Old Town, just needed the borders added. It's now a finished quilt top hanging in the closet with all the other to be quilted projects.  




Some quilts on the to be quilted list will be quilted professionally. the 2025 Guild BOM is one of those.  The backing was ready for stitching at the end of the month. So didn't quite get this step done in May. 
 



The Meadow Mist Designs 2025 Magnificent Mystery quilt also just needed a final border.  It's hanging right next to Old Town waiting to be quilted.  




The June block was added to the 2026 Guild BOM this month.  The July block is actually finished, but hasn't been shown to the guild yet.  The plan for June is to at least start on the August, September, October and November blocks and start on the instructions. 





Lupine and Laughter (2025 BH Mystery) was the project with the most progress this month.  All the alternate blocks are made.  The main block takes lots of stitching time, so it's been slow going, but there has at least been some progress with those.  





My progress chart isn't much different from April. Two projects have graduated to finished quilt tops, but that's about it for May.  Hopefully June will see at least one more finished quilt top and a finished quilt.  Cross your fingers for me.

To Do List for the Week of 6/2/2026

I didn't get much done during the week, but once we got to the weekend, there was a lot of progress in the sewing room.  A fully checked off to do list was the result. 

To Do List for 5/26/2026

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Make backing ✔
2. Chilhowie: Continue quilting ✔
3. Lupine and Laughter: Continue working on main blocks ✔
4. Good Fortune: Pull project box, assess status ✔
5. Wild and Goosey: Continue sashing blue blocks ✔

It was definitely a more productive week than I expected it to be.  Hopefully, I can do as well this week.  

To Do List for 6/2/2026

1.  2025 Guild BOM: Prep back for quilting

The back needs to pressed and any loose threads removed. It would be a good idea to run the vacuum in the sewing room before I start that process.  

2. Chilhowie (Bonnie Hunter): Continue Quilting



Half the quilt has the second set of diagonal lines quilted.  Still half left to do.  Rather than adding another set of diagonal lines, I may just sew another set of lines from edge to edge.  We'll see how it looks once all the diagonal quilting is done.  I know what I'm quilting in the first narrow border. Still haven't figured out what goes in the last border.  

3. Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter): Continue working on main blocks




The main blocks are slow going, but I'm starting to pick up speed as I get more of the block components made.  

5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue sashing blue blocks

The sashing has been slow going as I'm sewing those blocks as my leaders and enders.  I may change my strategy there. 

So that's my list for this week.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

Slow Going

Hard to believe it is June already. I'm hoping this month has much fewer health issues, May was rough on that front.  I've been reading more than I've been sewing the last couple of weeks, but I'm still making slow, but consistent progress on several projects.  My priority project has been Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter).  



I'm not a fan of sewing large quantities of HSTs at once, one of the reasons it's hard for me to keep up with Bonnie Hunter mysteries.  Plus, part of the block is paper pieced, which is a bit time consuming. So I've been making enough block components to make one block, while I'm sewing the parts together into blocks.  I spend a lot of time pinning, but it does move things along.  All the alternate blocks are done, but I've only managed to finish 2 of the main blocks. 



What looks black in the photo is actually a very deep purple.  There are 5 more main blocks under construction in that first photo.  It's slow going, but there has been more progress than shows on the design wall.  

Linking up with Patchwork & Quilts plus Sew & Tell Monday.

Stitching Stuff: Week 22 of 2026


Summer showed up yesterday. It was sunny, hot and humid.  Hard to believe I was commenting on our cooler weather last week. So I wasn't far off on my prediction that summer would be here pretty quickly.  

The back is better, the knees are better, but I had to schedule an emergency dentist appointment last Tuesday.  They put me on antibiotics because they were pretty sure the tooth in question was infected.  I'm waiting on a referral for additional imaging, there may be a root canal in my future as well depending on how that comes out.   I'm really hoping this falling apart stuff only comes in threes, I'm ready to be mostly healthy again.  Thankfully the dental issues didn't stop me from getting into the sewing room. 

  • 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
  • 15 minute days/May =  29/30 days
  • 15 minute days/2026 = 148/150 days
  • Success rate = 98.67%

I made it to the sewing room most days, but have to admit not a lot got done on Tuesday and Wednesday till after the antibiotic kicked in.  Still it wasn't a bad week.  

How did your week in the sewing room work out?

To Do List for the Week of 5/26/2026

My reading time encroached into my sewing time this last week.  I'm sure part of the reason is that the stairs up to the sewing room haven't been fun to navigate with my knee giving me fits. So it takes a bit more motivation to head that direction.  Thankfully, I was in the sewing room enough to make good progress on last week's to do list. 

To Do List for 5/19/2026

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Make backing - progress
2. Chilhowie: Continue quilting ✔
3. Lupine and Laughter: Continue working on A blocks 
4. Wild and Goosey: Continue sashing blue blocks 

Definitely not a bad week even with the reduced sewing time.  What does this week look like. More of the same with one new addition as I'm finding it hard to just work on one quilt at a time.  

To Do List for 5/26/2026

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Make backing



The pieces for the backing are cut, I just need to sit down and stitch them together.  

2. Chilhowie (Bonnie Hunter): Continue Quilting



Quilting of Chilhowie is moving along.  I'm finally getting a better handle on how to handle a large quilt on my sewing machine.  I'm getting better at keeping the lines straight and the stitching even. I'm debating if I need to go back and add one more set of lines in each direction.  The space between the stitching lines is 4", that's the maximum recommended for the batting. Is that going to be enough?  

3. Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter): Continue working on main blocks.




Construction of the main block has been pretty slow.  I decided to paper piece the star points. You need 8 for each block, so that's been the slow part of the process.  At least I can see visible progress.  

4. Good Fortune (Bonnie Hunter): Pull project box, assess status




Good Fortune is the 2018 Bonnie Hunter mystery.  Looking at my records I haven't worked on it since February of 2019. Based on the mock ups found in my EQ files, I'm about half way done with the blocks.  Not sure what's in the project box, I suspect the next step will be to cut more fabric.  
 
5. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue sashing blue blocks

I haven't made a lot of progress with sashing the blocks. It's been slow but steady progress, which is fine for now.  

That's my list for this week.  Hard to believe this is the last list for May.  This month certainly went fast.  June probably will too.  It always seems like the year moves faster the closer you get to the end of it.  Linking up with the Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

More Lupin and Laughter

Saturday was rainy, but the rest of the holiday weekend has been gorgeous. My Guy and I went for a walk last night after dinner.  My back seems to have recovered, but my right knee is still giving me fits, so it wasn't a long walk.  

The sewing room hasn't been as attractive the last couple of weekends.  I've been reading more than I typically do.  That's OK, sometimes you need to mix it up a bit. There was enough sewing time to finish up the "A" blocks. 




What looks black is actually a very, very dark purple. My version will be about half the size of Bonnie's.  I prefer throw sized quilts to bed sized.  

With the A blocks done, my attention moved to what Bonnie called the main block.  




Not a lot of progress there, but enough got pieced to make one block.  The plan today is get more of these blocks put together. It's a lot of stitching to get the parts for just one block!  

It's rare for me to work on just one quilt at a time.  It's probably time to decide on another UFO to make some progress on. That's my goal for 2nd and 3rd quarters, focus on moving the UFOs to finished quilts.  Do I pull my oldest UFO or the one that's closest to being finished?  

Linking up with Patchwork & Quilts, plus Sew & Tell Monday.

Stitching Stuff: Week 21 of 2026

 


It's been a wet and chilly week.  We needed the rain and I'm not going to complain about a bit of cool weather. We'll hit summer pretty quickly, so I enjoyed it while it was here.  I had to see the orthopedist this week, my knees took a beating while my back was out of commission and my right leg has been very, very unhappy.  We'll be working on that in addition to my back issues in PT in a couple of weeks.  All that to say, I didn't have the best week in the sewing room.  The stairs were outright painful early in the week.   

  • 15 minute days/week = 6/7 days
  • 15 minute days/May = 22/23 days
  • 15 minute days/2026 = 141/143 days
  • Success rate = 98.60%

It was never my plan to end the year with a 100% success rate. If I can keep it over 90%, I'll be really happy. I'm still on track there.   

How did your stitching time work out this week?

To Do List for the Week of 5/19/2026

The to do list post is a bit late this week. I had an early morning appointment yesterday, followed by our gym workout, then a trip to Wally World as we call it.  It was time for lunch by the time we got home. When I did get back to the computer in the afternoon, I needed to make sure the guild block of the month instructions were ready to go as yesterday was meeting day.  I just didn't get around to writing a blog post.  

I did pretty well with last week's to do list.  

To Do list for 5/12/2026

1. 2025 Guild BOM: Make backing - progress
2. Chilhowie: Continue quilting ✔  
3. Lupine and Laughter: Work on A blocks ✔
4. Wild and Goosey: Continue sashing blue blocks ✔

Check marks on three out of 4 items and progress on the 4th is a pretty good week.  We'll see how this week goes, I have more appointments then I normally do. 

To Do List for 5/19/2026

1. 2025 Guild BOM: make backing



The 2025 BOM is a big quilt, it needs almost 6 yards of backing fabric.  I found this older Connecting Threads fabric in my stash. I have 7 yards of it.  So that should work. I've started cutting the pieces for the backing, it should be assembled before next week.  

2. Chilhowie (Bonnie Hunter): Continue quilting



The plan is to use the walking foot to quilt straight lines along the diagonals of the quilt.  I've finished all the lines along one diagonal. I'll start on the lines from the other diagonal today.  

3. Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter): Continue working on block A 

I've added one block to the wall since Monday, so no photo.  Hopefully, I'll have time to sew this weekend and can get all these blocks done.  

4.  Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue sashing blue blocks

This has been slow moving as I'm sashing the blocks as my leaders and enders project. Only 2 blocks completely sashed. I may have to make this a full task and start using the purple blocks as my leaders project.  

That's my list for this week. Pretty much the same as last week.  The 2025 BOM and Chilhowie should drop off in a couple of weeks.  Then I'll have to figure out what projects come next.
