Hunter · Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!_ Well this makes things interesting! I'm really excited to see my "Just Another String Star" coming together. I was a bit intimidated at first - not that I haven't done Y seams before, but it had been a while and there was the additional stretch and bulk of diamonds with bias on ALL edges, and also all of the seams in the diamonds from the string piecing. I've developed a system and things are now… ## [Sew Fabulous!](https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2026/08/sew-fabulous.html) _2026-08-20 · Bonnie K. Hunter · Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!_ This week got a little bit hijacked with our Gift-Away Trifecta and the drawing sign-up snafus...but here we are, all of the quilts and projects over the porch rail with the August Quiltvillians 2.0! We worked around the weather, finding an afternoon full of sunshine so we could get these photos taken. We had so many newbies, and that was exciting! I always love seeing things and feeling the… ## [Days Filled To The Brim!](https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2026/08/days-filled-to-brim.html) _2026-08-19 · Bonnie K. Hunter · Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!_ This is what happens when a hand stitching date is accepted! And it came right on time because some really weird storm system blew through and blipped the power (Thank you Generac for doing your job!) and the rain came in torrents. We were cozy in the Hen Den! Of course, what is a girl to do with a hand stitching invite, when she has nothing to hand stitch?? Quickly grab some papers and pieces and… ## [A Gift-Away Trifecta!](https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2026/08/a-gift-away-trifecta.html) _2026-08-18 · Bonnie K. Hunter · Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!_ There is a lot going on today! My head is spinning! But it's all coming together in a VERY VERY good way. It's Sunnyside pattern release and gift-away day and we've got lovely Notable Neutrals fabric rolls from Cotton to Quilts to include with THAT event. And my publisher C&T is also hosting a gift away for my new book Scrap-Savvy over on their site! (More details below, keep reading!) And we'll… ## [Can't Believe It's Monday!](https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2026/08/cant-believe-its-monday.html) _2026-08-17 · Bonnie K. Hunter · Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!_ So much for the weekend! It was gone in a flash - And speaking of Flash....he has started to exhibit some new "normal" cat behaviors after being with us for about a year and a half now. Learning is slow when you don't have a mama cat around to teach you - Click to Read the Whole Story! ## [Rain, Shine & Quilting!](https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2026/08/rain-shine-quilting.html) _2026-08-15 · Bonnie K. Hunter · Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!_ Who wants to start the day with a dirt road hike?!? I found five willing quilters eager to get some steps in. No rain in the forecast? Great! Let's go! It was a beautiful morning, a bit overcast, but we didn't mind. And this route is mostly shady by tree cover anyway. Only one vehicle passed us as we headed up the long and winding gravel/dirt road in between two mountains and alongside a creek.… ## [A Full Up House!](https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2026/08/a-full-up-house.html) _2026-08-14 · Bonnie K. Hunter · Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!_ This retreat is off with a bang! A bang of laughter! This is what I walked in to find yesterday morning as the August Quiltvillians 2.0 were just sitting down to brunch in the dining room due to rain. 2.0?? Yes! Because we have 2 groups of Quiltvillians from my Quiltville’s Open Studio group that visit in August. The first group is at the last few days of July and crosses over into August, and… ## [Lost In Strings -](https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2026/08/lost-in-strings.html) _2026-08-13 · Bonnie K. Hunter · Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!_ I am back in the string of things! I found myself with a couple of hours yesterday after everything at the retreat was made ready. All of these little bits and pieces and strings and strips have got to be sewn into something. The best thing about string piecing? ANYTHING can be made with strings. You can cover any shape. You can color it anyway you want. There are no right or wrong ways to do it… ## [Binding Bliss!](https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2026/08/binding-on.html) _2026-08-12 · Bonnie K. Hunter · Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!_ I already knew that Bliss was a heavy quilt. Seam allowances are about 3/8'' instead of a 1/4'' so they wrap around the hexie papers enough to hold it more securely. This puts the basting tacking stitches closer to the center of the hexagon on the back to firmly hold them in place. These are small pieces, and with all of that folding of corners on the back side, there is more fabric on the back of… ## [Quilting With the TaDa's!](https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2026/08/quilting-with-tadas.html) _2026-08-11 · Bonnie K. Hunter · Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!_ It was short, it was sweet, it was crammed full of quilty fun! The Tada Quilters were down from Erie, Pennsylvania and beyond and through they were only with us until Sunday morning, they packed a full week's worth of activities into their stay. Not only did they quilt into the wee small hours, but they took time out to cook amazing dishes, while others headed out on early morning dirt road hikes,… ## [Fast, secure international transfers (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/fRQHtzgJFNjo) _2026-08-11 · **Sponsored**_ Bank transfer, cash pickup, mobile wallet — low fees and real-time tracking ## [All Through The Weekend -](https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2026/08/why-this-photo-because-i-found-car-on.html) _2026-08-10 · Bonnie K. Hunter · Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!_ Why this photo? Because I found the car on empty - warning light on and everything and I had to go up and over and around to get to the nearest gas station. Still - everything has become the deep green of August and I love this view in all seasons so I had to stop on the road, roll the window down and take a quick snap before moving on. It just never ceases to catch my breath. And I'm just really… ## [Native Flowers: Best for Bees, Butterflies, Birds, and Other Wild Creatures](https://www.cleannorth.org/2026/07/15/native-flowers-best-for-bees-butterflies-birds-and-other-wild-creatures/) _2026-07-16 · Emily Tithecott · Clean North_ The post Native Flowers: Best for Bees, Butterflies, Birds, and Other Wild Creatures appeared first on Clean North . ## [Fourth of July Parade 2026](https://recyclingservicesinc.wordpress.com/2026/07/07/fourth-of-july-parade-2026/) _2026-07-07 · Chrissy · Recycling Services Inc_ RSI participated in Pottstown’s Annual Fourth of July Parade in 2026.
