Happy Easter! from The Cozy Quilter

Happy Easter to all who celebrate this holiday! We had brunch with my husband's family yesterday so the rest of the weekend will be quiet. My niece helped me to make a bunny charcuterie board for the brunch yesterday and I managed to get a picture before people started to nibble. I will have to make more of these for other family gatherings.

I only have one more quilt that needs a hanging sleeve for the quilt show. I hope to get to that this weekend. I am one of those people that likes to have things done ahead ...

A Busy Two Weeks from The Cozy Quilter

I was away last weekend and did not have time to blog before I left so today's post is a catch up on what I have been up to for the last couple of weeks. I am happy to report that I have finished hand quilting my Arizona quilt and I am now working on getting the binding hand stitched and adding a sleeve and label.

The Oxford Quilter's Guild show is the coming up very soon and I have registered 12 quilts in the show. Most of them do not have hanging sleeves yet so that will ...

Hand Stitching from The Cozy Quilter

This was another week of hand stitching projects. I finished off the outlining of the dark purple lupin and moved on to the lupin to the left. It was partly done before and I am almost finished it. There is more outlining to do on the leaves at the bottom of the picture.

Finn laid beside me today while I knitted and listened to an audiobook.

I attempted to sew another block together on my drunkard's path project but my sewing machine was not co-operating. Usually, a good cleaning will fix the issues but not this time. I think ...

Lots of Hand Stitching and Another Block from The Cozy Quilter

A few years ago, I stitched "Let it Bee". I was cleaning up the top of my cutting table and found it in a pile, waiting to be framed. I went to Stitch It Central this past week to buy some backing for the secret gift quilt that I have been working on and purchased a 5" hoop for my bee while I was there. It was well overdue for being framed!

I went to the weekly guild sewing day earlier this week and spent my time hand quilting the four HST blocks in my Arizona quilt. The centre part ...

Slow Stitching Saturday! from The Cozy Quilter

Today was the annual Vice President's day at the Oxford Guild. Many quilters were working on Anita's Arrowhead blocks, a pattern chosen by our VP, but I decided to bring along some hand stitching to work on instead. Earlier in the week, I thread basted my Arizona quilt so that I could hand quilt it. I am using 28 wt grey Aurifil thread for big stitching. So far, so good!

I had several opportunities this week to add stitches to my Winter Woods cross stitch project. The deer is done and I also did the snowflake. I am ...
