Stitching June 2025 from Joy of Quilting

Hand Stitching V Crochet

Crochet

This is my entry for Glamorgan W.I. Show.

Knit or Crochet something for a young child, not a Shawl or Blanket.

And it all fits into itself when you pull the drawstrings. Can't show you that though because it's already started it's W.I. Show Journey.

Not a pattern. Just something I made up as I went along. So don't ask for a second one!

Hand Stitching

Mississippi Meets Virginia! from Quiltville's Quips & Snips!

As I gather and edit photos, plan and type up this post, the Mississippi Quilters are heading out car by car and beginning their journeys back home.

What was supposed to be the rainiest retreat on record turned out to be not so bad - just a few showers here and there, some middle-of-the night thunder bumpers that brought the temperatures back down into the pleasant range -

And nothing disrupted the quilting, chatting, laughing, and of course the eating of wonderful meals prepared by their own hands.

Red, White and Blue Friendship Blocks

This is a clever pattern that is free from the Fat Quarter Shop but I tweaked it a bit!

The 42 friendship stars nest together. I'll show you some pictures of how it is put together in the following images.

Here is a picture of the free pattern and you can click on this link to go to the Fat Quarter Shop and get your own.

I started with a dark and a light 15" square of fabric and sewed around the perimeter and then sliced diagonally twice which gave me four 13 ...

Great Grandma's Buttons from Kitty and Me Designs

I made some time to sew up a few blocks and stitched on one last week:

The 2 buttons on this block are from my Great Grandmother's button jar. I gave them a good washing with water and little dish soap. I used a small brush to get any dirt off but I didn't want to remove the patina so I was careful. When they were dry, I just went over them lightly with a polishing cloth to brighten up the raised area. There's a lot more in the jar!

One thing with old buttons....and no ...

Green and Black Hour Glass Quilt from Sunshine in the Attic

This quilt is for a guy who loves green.

Started back in March so pretty good for me to complete in just a few months!

I'm not naming it but for some reason, I find it entertaining to think of names. I thought maybe Emerald Isle, Emeralds and Granite, or Green Goblin.

I didn't forget to label it!

It was constructed with these hour glass blocks which I made by cutting out 14 1/2" squares of greens or blacks. I cut them into four triangles by cutting diagonally twice, and then sewed into the hour glass block ...

June and July Challenge Update from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

June was a good month for me for the Chookshed 2025 Challenge.

Good progress on this project called "Simply Serene". I scrapped the brown out and replaced with floral looking fabrics. This will be perfect for a donation quilt now. My goal for July will be to assemble all those blocks and add borders.

Now, for this UFO .... as you can see much progress has been made on "Joseph's Coat". The 'before' on the left vs the 'after' on the right. My goal for July will be to move this project along more. Seems my mojo is back!

June 2025 monthly recap............................... from Exuberant Color

There were 3 finishes in June. The Crooked Cobblestone wall hanging took the longest to quilt and it is 36.5" x 57.5". It used up most of the cobblestone blocks I made several years ago.

In the center is a quilt spanning about 20 years for all of the parts to finally come together and be a cute baby quilt. It is 35" x 44".

The baby quilt at the right is 34.5" x 45" and was cut with the Bow Tie quilt block dies. The fabrics are all Kaffe Fassett collective except the flannel backing and ...

Life Happens in Homer from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Welcome to July! It was cloudy for a good part of the morning, and so it was a good day to do some laundry. We'd already planned on Egg McMuffins. Is there a better way to start the day? It took the sting out of doing laundry just knowing we'd pre-reward ourselves with a sumptuous breakfast. And while I'd ordinarily entertain you with pictures of our food, today I'll break with tradition and show you the inside of this particular McDonald's. I liked these simple murals on the walls mainly, I ...

Quilt The North from Sew Karen-ly Created...

Is there a better time than Canada Day to launch a new Canadian quilt subscription box?! This program is the brainchild of Monika of Penny Spool Quilts who decided a Canadian based project such as this was long overdue. The details are pretty straightforward: each box will contain a quilt pattern from a Canadian designer, fabrics and accessories for the project sourced in Canada, an exclusive quilt block from the designer's area (which can be made into a Canadian sampler quilt), information on the locale, AND some goodies from the area. It will come to you via (who else ...

To Do List for the Week of 07/01/2025 from Life In Pieces

The year is half over. I'm always amazed at how quickly we get to this point. We were in Crown Center in Kansas City last week for a conference. The Hallmark store there was setting up for this year's ornament display. Christmas will be here before most of us are ready I'm sure.

Let's not dwell on time passing, not much we can do on that front. I didn't have time to write up a post last week. Which works out as I didn't have time to stitch much last week. So I had ...

Happy July! from South Jersey Quilter

It's a busy month! Birthdays for Dan, Steph, John, Kenzie, Connor, Amary, Polly, and an anniversary for Steph and Dan! Yikes!

Yay, we got S6 all threaded and bobbined! It took Ralph reading me directions while I threaded, but we got it done. Not hard, just so different than the 6500, especially the needle threader!

The blue one has been gifted to Charlotte, and the bottom one (terrible pic, I was in a rush) to Sharon. I have 3 more of this batch to quilt.

Sandie had read and enjoyed this book, so Cookie Swap is all (maybe) reading ...

Bumpkin Baskets And Strawberry Shortcake from Podunk Pretties

Over the last couple of months I've been working on small projects. It's been a fun ride and there's plenty more small projects to finish but I'm ready to move onto a larger project. My Bumpkin Baskets quilt has been waiting patiently for about two months.

The backing was loaded to the frame. Then the quilting design plan began. I spent many hours over a few days working on a quilting plan. Drawing designs, erasing designs and not having any fun. At the end of the day three or four (I lost count) it was time ...

Taking inventory for vacation from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

You all have such great suggestions. If I get frustrated by the towel moving, I can use clips to attach it below. Problem solved!

Happy Canada Day! It's a great day to celebrate our country, its people, and its beautiful lands. Take a moment today to reflect on the freedoms we have.

Lately, when I've been walking the dogs, I've spotted people who were most likely not born in this country. They are out walking and exploring the neighborhood. They give me a hearty "good morning," and I almost feel their joy in living here! Perhaps they ...
