A day without coffee is like… just kidding, I have no idea ☕️😆
Happy Monday morning!!! Welcome to Monday Musings! Gosh y’all, we have some crazy weather here! A few days in February it has reached close to 80. We had monsoons this past week and last night storms blew through and the weather radio woke us up a little before 2 AM. Sunday the temps steadily dropped and this week’s highs will be in the high 30s to low 50s! And we may even have a snow flurry. I’m ready for spring, even if it does bring more stormy weather. Now, on to the good stuff!!
Here’s how my story ended for the week of 2/10 – 2/16/25:
- Get border on this month’s Island Batik blog hop project and get it quilted. DONE!! I named this Dandy Candy Kisses! See my post and giveaway HERE.
- Work on SAHRR Round Five. DONE!! See my next post for Round Five. Here it is with Round Four added. I made plus blocks for Wendy’s prompt.
- Start thinking on my Island Batik project for March. DONE!! I have an idea.
- Whatever suits my fancy. DONE!! Thursday night we got to go watch the younger twin in his play at school. Those kiddos work so hard and did a great job. The name of it was Holes, which was a comedic take off on the movie, which I’ve never seen, so it was difficult for me to follow. But they did a great job and I enjoyed watching them. Friday we celebrated my birthday with some good BBQ for dinner.
Plans for the week of 2/17 – 2/23/25:
- Work on March Island Batik challenge.
- Work on Round Six of SAHRR. If you are quilting along with us, this will be the last round before the parade.
- Sew a block from the new EQ add-on, Kaleidoscope Two and write a review.
- Clean my machine!
- Clean a little in the studio.
- Whatever cranks my tractor!

Electric Quilt: EQ just released a new add-on for EQ8 on Wednesday, February 12th! One of their best-selling add-ons, “Kaleidoscope Collection” has remained so popular with users that they decided to create a second one! The Kaleidoscope Collection Two will add 500 new kaleidoscope-style, pieced blocks to EQ8. These blocks are perfect for quilters who love to paper piece and the designs are spectacular, just wait until you see them! I’ll be doing a review and showing a block I pieced on Friday. Be sure to come back then.
Have a wonderful quilty week. Until next time…

KS is enjoying a -17 windchill at the moment, snow on the ground and more on the way. I’m loving it, but I am also home for the day! Now, a day without coffee….hmmm…. I’ve even upped my coffee amount to 2-3 cups a day so I guess I wouldn’t know but it sounds like a headache waiting to happen! A belated happy bday!
We are having the same weather here. The storm was a humdinger wasn’t it? It knocked out our electricity. I am so glad that you are safe and sound though. We may get flurries this week too. Love Dandy Candy Kisses- it is so cheerful. Great goals list for the week , but I have to say that I cracked up at “Whatever cranks my tractor” ! Hee! Hee! Have a great week, Brenda.
Brenda, is your link up for the round 5 sahrr on a different page?
Thanks Brenda! Have a great week, and stay warm.
Your SAHRR is looking really good.
I really love your runner. The fabric and quilting really highlight your design. Thank you for the linky, wish I could remember to come back every Monday.
Happy Belated Birthday! It’s been gobs of fun to see how everyone interprets the SAHRR prompts.
I would like to see you doing “whatever cranks my tractor” – lol! I hope your birthday was a happy one. BBQ sounds yummy!
