Late fall updates from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

…or holy cow, it’s December! Keeping it real…

Lighter decorating happened this year for Christmas

I finished the baby quilt top a couple of weeks ago. I walked into my fabric room the next day looking for an appropriate fabric for the backing, and spied one of the fleece throws the Hubs and I purchased at Goodwill almost two years ago when we were shopping for our new puppies. One of the throws has since been quilted and we sometimes use it as a cover for the back seat for them when we travel. After I purchased some Pellon ...

Retreat! from A Prim and (not so) Proper Quilter

Let the good times roll, if only for about 48 hours!

I joined the Northwest Arkansas MQG this year. Katrina is the current president of the chapter and told me I needed to go to the retreat. I signed up even though I didn’t have my heart in it at the time because at this point in my life, who wants to schlep all that stuff, especially a 45-pound sewing machine?

One of the luxuries of retirement for me is being able to have a bit more time for planning and packing. While the retreat was only for two ...

Camp Kintail Retreat Report from The Cozy Quilter

This post features my projects from last weekend's Crafters retreat at Camp Kintail, but first I want to show you my finished Fall cross stitch...TaDa! I started this project at the beginning of September and have added stitches to it steadily until this week, when I added the last few. As I have said before, I love the transparency where the trees overlap and the bright colours in this picture. I will have it framed shortly and hang it up for the Fall next year. I have a couple of embroidery kits that I would like to work ...

SWEET MAE PATTERN TEST! from Kwilty Pleasures

I was thrilled when asked to pattern test for Katie Zahm.

The Sweet Mae Pattern was adorable.

I began with some Zen Chic FQs some

friends had given me as gifts.

The line was called Frisky.

I chose a spotted GRUNGE for a background fabric.

It was such a fun design that began with a star!

I committed to make one block

To test her pattern instructions, and

If time allowed I’d make 4 blocks

For the baby Quilt size.

Even though each block contained 81 pieces

It was such a rewarding make.

I ended up making 6 blocks ...

Every Which Way - Updated Pattern! from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends! Today I'm excited to share a sweet little baby quilt that I made recently.

I made this quilt for one of my nieces who just had the most darling baby boy!

Her mom told me she likes "earthy" colors so I picked out this color palette of

blues, greens, blacks, browns, and oranges. The prints are masculine and

geometric. There are even some wovens and a chambray to add a little texture.

All of the fabrics came from my stash! I love when I can do that!

I used my Every Which Way pattern, which was one ...

More Baby Quilts from The Quilt Yarn

The cute little Teddy Bear Baby Quilt is finished

This is so very cute! I used the Handiquilter Multi Clamshell tool to quilt the 4in clamshells over it. Works every time and looks great on baby quilts.

Also finished my special baby quilt ready for the new arrival

The fabrics in this one are just gorgeous...soft and playful in apricot/pink tones. You probably cannot see this but the fabric has a bit of a cottage/farm theme. Really pretty. It is from Art Gallery Fabrics...a selection of 'Cottage Grove' fabrics. The pattern will be available in my ...

Walking Foot Quilting from The Cozy Quilter

I finished off the quilting and binding of the hollow 9 patch baby quilt earlier this week and got to work on quilting my yellow and green potato chip quilt. I am using 28 wt green thread on top and white 50 wt thread in the bobbin. This is a bigger quilt so it is taking longer to quilt...more material to manage as I quilt. I will work on this again soon--I'm hoping to have it done to show on next week's blog post. This is a donation quilt.

And here is the big TaDa! The hollow ...

Sunday Stash July 27, 2025 from Quilt Paint Create

No change in the numbers, but I made some progress.

I finished stitching Northern Bluebird by Crossed Wing Collection.

It’s stitched on 28 count Wheat Lugana using the called for DMC. The design is 4.5 inches tall.

I also finished the Simply Charming top. No pattern, just me playing with a partial charm pack I bought at the Donation Sale last August.

I added a few fabrics to fill out the blocks, plus sashing fabric. I basted it yesterday but haven’t decided how to quilt it.

I hope to finish it before the next Donation Sale.

Rug Hooking, Knitting and a RSC Baby Quilt in Progress from The Cozy Quilter

After making 6 purple hollow nine patch blocks last week, I took out the bag of blocks that I have made so far this year and discovered that I had enough to make a baby quilt. I took them to the guild sewing day this week and laid them out on the design wall as shown above. I sewed them together and today, pin basted it and started the quilting--diagonal lines in both directions through each square.

I'm using 28wt white thread in the top and 50 wt white in the bobbin. The backing was in my stash.

Finished a small one................ from Exuberant Color

I made the top for this quilt in February, using the 6" Bow Tie dies so the blocks are 3" finished. All of the fabrics in the blocks are Kaffe Fassett collective prints, a large variety in the larger piece and in the triangles. I think I would call this exuberant pastel because of the large scale prints which appear darker. It is 34.5" x 45".

The cute print on the back is flannel that I found on sale. The binding is a gray print I found in my stack of grays.

I used Hobbs 80/20 batting in ...

An old UFO off the to do list from The Cozy Quilter

My 10 year old Sashiko project is finally completely done and can go out on display!

I stitched in the ditch around the navy part and then did three rows of quilting in the border. The binding is on. I didn't do any quilting in the sashiko panel--I could still add some if I decide later that it needs it.

The backing is a fat quarter I had in my stash.

I had a chance to knit several times in the last week and added another 5 inches to my scarf. It is 56" long now.

I finished the ...

Orange Month for the RSC from The Cozy Quilter

Orange is the colour for June for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge so I dug into my 2.5" squares bin and pulled out all of the orange squares. I cut a few from my orange fat quarter bin to add some variety before making 6 orange hollow nine patch blocks. I am getting quite a stack of these blocks! When I run out of the centre squares, I will put the blocks together to make a quilt.

I continue to knit away on my scarf when the mood hits me...Maybe it will be done in time to wear it ...

This week's activities from The Cozy Quilter

In a previous post, I was lamenting the thickness of the pitcher plant stem in my rug hooking project. A couple of hooking friends suggested I try hooking a single line of stitches with two strands of yarn. This looks so much better! If you look at the part at the lower end of the stem where the green leaves are hooked around the stem, it looks to be the right width now. You can see from this picture that I got almost all of the leaves done this week. I hope to move on to the flowers this week ...

Sunshine Baby Quilt in Lazy Afternoon by Zen Chic! from Busy Hands Quilts

With Summer quickly approaching and the sun bringing the flowers to life, we're releasing a new quilt design called Sunshine! Maybe where you live it gets too hot in the summer to be outside a whole lot, so summer is actually quilting season, not just the winter!

Sunshine is a brand new quilt pattern looks great in the modern Lazy Afternoon fabric collection with its burnt orange prints mixed with pale pink, blue, and yellow.

The Sunshine quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop here.

Rail Fence from Urban Quilter

This is another of the quilts I made from the big bin of cowboy fabrics. I had a lot of yardage left of these three fabrics so I put together a simple rail-fence baby-sized quilt. That seemed appropriate for cowboy fabrics.

Basement doings.................... from Exuberant Color

I was in the basement doing laundry and finished up a few other tasks. One was stacking the trays with the 2" x 3.5" rectangles. I store these in a large bin with trays of 2 other size rectangles.

I found this partially sewn project. I could slice and sew the strata and make another section like the first or I could cut it into 2 sections and add stripes to both sides of the sewn section, lining up the fabrics to continue the design. The first option would make one piece 24.5" square. The second option would ...

Beth and Carol’s Quilts from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Lots of quilts to share today!

Beth and her friend Carol have been busy making donation quilts and they decided to send a dozen to Many Hands and Many Hearts ❤️

Yep, they were all quilted and bound…all I had to do was add the label and get them delivered.

Beth made this one. I love the animal panel she used- it is so bright and colorful.

Prefect for lifting someone’s spirit.

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 ...
