2023 Temperature Quilt Almost Finished

Posted in daily painter, Quilting, Serendipity, Sewing, tagged , , on January 16, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday I finally got to spend some time sewing. I have had a terrible cold since the first of the year and haven’t had energy to do anything. You know I am really sick if I haven’t been at my machine! But yesterday was the perfect sew day…snow on the ground, warm inside and Lincoln at my feet. So I got out my Temperature Quilt and finished up the December blocks and put it all together. When Allen stopped by I got him to hold it up for me to get a photo of it. It’s really large! Now it will go off to the long-arm quilter. I can’t wait to get it back. I love a scrappy quilt and while this one is planned with colors it still appears scrappy. It had a total of 795 patches…two for each day…representing the high and low temperature for the day and a block with 5 patches that divides the months. You can see the color chart on the right that I used. I use the National Weather Service website for data on the high and low temperatures for our town. You can find it here. This was an easy design to make for a temperature quilt. Maybe next year I’ll try a different one. When it comes back from the long-arm quilter I’ll share it with you all.

Continuing the Temperature Quilt

Posted in Abstract, Quilting, Serendipity, Sewing, tagged , on September 18, 2023| Leave a Comment »

I worked on my 2023 Temperature Quilt this morning. I have been trying to keep up with it each month. I find if I fall behind it’s hard to get going again. I crocheted a temperature blanket a few years ago. (Read about it here.) After seeing a few Temperature Quilts at a show lasat year I decided to give it a try. The Black and White blocks indicate the beginning of each month. The block are half square triangles with the upper right being the high temp of the day and the bottom left the low temp. The key is on the white paper laying on the upper right side in the photo. There is close up photo of the key below. I’ll post another photo at the end of the year when it’s all done. 🙂
