Friday, October 31, 2014. The Kindness of Quilters. I'm a bit excited because November will be my. Month for the Bee Group. I have asked for 9" Churn Dash blocks, one with a black on white background and one with black and white for the Churn Dash; I have asked for yellow, orange, and/or red in contemporary fabrics for the remaining portion of the blocks. I wasn't 100% during our Retreat. I was preoccupied with my job situation and my knee, which had. Make these for you! Posted by Nancy, Near Philadelphia.

Blogging, Near Philadelphia: July 2014
http://nancynearphiladelphia.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2014. An email from sweet Janet. Started my day off right. She wrote to say that my current Former Leader Ender Blocks remind her of a birthday party. Me, too. Except I didn't know it. Have found a solution to yesterday's "problem" of not wanting the blocks to end. I'm going to make four more and figure a lay-out to make a queen-sized quilt for our bed rather than the medium-to-large unspecified quilt for unspecified recipient that I'd been planning. So happy to be on this path! There ...

Blogging, Near Philadelphia: Rummage Sale and Frog Update
http://nancynearphiladelphia.blogspot.com/2015/08/rummage-sale-and-frog-update.html
Saturday, August 01, 2015. Rummage Sale and Frog Update. On Friday I didn't have to work. And I knew what had to be done. Many of my friends have spent time this summer organizing their studios, purging their stashes, cleaning their messiness. Not me! Local people and blog friends all bit by the Dreaded Cleaning Virus. But not me! I posted on FB that I really had to go down and get organized and cleaned up before the Board of Health came to shut me down. And downstairs I went. Big Tub: Kaffe Collective.

Blogging, Near Philadelphia: Alive (Barely!)
http://nancynearphiladelphia.blogspot.com/2015/05/alive-barely.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2015. I've slept a lot (when the cough will permit it) during the day, consumed drugs, tea and water, and complained without ceasing. I did pick up five quilts from the machines, machined the binding on all of them, trimmed the excess on all of them, and have the hand-stitching on the first one 3/4 finished. I've been reading - finished a very thought-provoking book. And started another. I've watched TV. And waited for it to end. But it hasn't yet. Posted by Nancy, Near Philadelphia.

Blogging, Near Philadelphia: Relatively Speaking
http://nancynearphiladelphia.blogspot.com/2015/05/relatively-speaking.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Didn't I just post this picture a week or so ago? Well, yes. But I'm posting it again because (a) the pattern has arrived and (b) there's a little story to tell. And, due to the complexity (12 complicated pieced blocks, 20 appliqué units), this project is going to be around for a long time. First, someone asked about the pattern. I found it at Needles and Pins. Now for the story. When I was sixteen years old, this truly wonderful thing happened to me. I became an aunt! Yesterday ...

Tuesday, September 30, 2014. It could be Thumpin' for Thumone who is No Relation but it could be Thump'n Thpethul Just for Me! Well, it's not the ankle that's been turned; it's the knee. I've seen the physical therapist twice and I like him. And not just because he said that this dratted thing will. And once Himself had brought it into the foyer I could tell it was way too heavy for the Darth Vader flannel sheets I'd ordered for a certain young man's Christmas gift. I couldn't imagine what. We were both ...

Blogging, Near Philadelphia: November 2014
http://nancynearphiladelphia.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 26, 2014. First Snow Day of the Season. My new boss at the school is a very, very wise woman. Yesterday at 10:00 she declared a snow day for today. Some of us didn't even believe it would snow (we were expecting rain) but we surely didn't argue. I picked up four quilts from the machinist more than a week ago and in their tote bags they sat. Until this morning. Blessed with a snow day and having done the food shopping last night (thanks be to Joe) as well. Wednesday, November 26, 2014.

Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Snow Day, Near Philadelphia. The school where I work made the announcement last night, around ten o'clock. Closed because of the [anticipated] huge snowfall. I was happy if only because not having to get up at 6:20 made it feasible for us to watch another. Episode of Doc Martin, our current Netflix craze. Anyway, back to the FB groans. "The weatherman who cried blizzard" was one theme; another was complete castigation of the storm itself: "She's a flirtatious tease! As we broke...
