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 ... read more

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.
A fun little giraffe quilt made by Beth. Every time I see a yellow and black combination I wonder why I don't make one myself.
Most ...

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 ...

Half-Square Triangle Baby Quilts
from A Little Bit Biased
Hi friends! Today, I have two more really simple baby quilts that I want to share with you! Last week I shared a simple patchwork quilt. And this week, I have two Half-Square Triangle quilts that I recently gifted to two new mommas in my neighborhood. Both had baby girls! It's such a joy to spread the {quilty} love!
(Sidenote: I finished all 3 of these quilts a few months ago and I'm just now getting around to blogging about them. Just wanted you to know that I didn't whip all of them up this past week ...

Progress, gifted quilts, and a thief.........................
from Exuberant Color
A little progress was made on the Tilda 16 patch blocks, but the most time yesterday was spent cutting batting and piecing backs for two quilts. I need to cut more batting today while the table is cleaned off.
In case you are wondering, the friend who came over yesterday to choose 2 baby quilts chose these two. My son's friends are becoming grandparents for the first time so I give them one for the baby's house and one for the grandparents' house.
"Who, me? No, you must be mistaken. I did not knock down the feeder, unscrew ...

Binding and Finn's Approval
from The Cozy Quilter
It's been a busy week and I have not had much time to sew but I did manage to hand sew the bindings on the two quilts I showed in my last post. The shadow box quilt has gray binding, the same as the shadows on the quilt.
Finn approves of the potato chip baby quilt.
Here is a close up of the backing fabric--I love the paper boats print!
My daughter's book blanket is coming along with nine new squares added in February.
These squares represent two books read in March so far.

A TaDa Moment!
from The Cozy Quilter
This afternoon, I added the final stitches to my Winter Woods cross stitch! There were lots of little stars to add in the sky of several pictures and a bit of backstitching, but not very much. I love this picture and look forward to getting it framed to hang up somewhere in my house next winter. We have lots of snow right now, although not as much as many places north of us where roads have been closed for days on end as the snowplows try to clear the snow away.
I spent some time at the sewing machine this ...

My Favorite “Go To” Baby Quilt Patterns
from Modern Sunbonnet Sue
Quilters like certain patterns to stitch for baby quilts. These patterns are conducive to smaller block sizes, juvenile cotton prints, and easy stitching. I have made a fair number of baby quilts over the years. One-patch blocks like 9-patch, tumbling blocks, or parallelogram shapes are classic designs. Alphabet blocks, animal blocks, and fussy-cut pieces for […]

It's finished!
from Exuberant Color
I found a nice stripe in the mid-tone of the quilt for the binding and got it sewn on. This quilt is 39" square.
The backing is a grayed purple even though it seems to be brown in some lights. The quilt is much softer looking in person, not such high contrast.
I used Hobbs 80/20 in this quilt.
The close up shots show some of the colors in the quilt, like this green print.
There are browns, rust, blue and gold tones.
Burgundy check and a burnt orange are in this shot.
Up in the top left is ... read more

A little fabric therapy................
from Exuberant Color
I made my first fabric purchase this year. Yes, it's Tilda again and yes, it was pricey because it is a new line, but I needed a perk.
I bought the smallest pack available, fat 8ths plus 1/2 yard of my favorite fabric.
I was just about out of the cookies in my freezer so it was time to bake something else. I love this cherry topped cake ... read more

Slow Stitching Report
from The Cozy Quilter
I finished off the second diamond hand quilting this week and then started on the squares at the top of the Arizona quilt. I'm working on quilting a quarter inch along the gray background. As I quilt, I am thinking about what I am going to do next. I'm still undecided about whether to quilt a circle in the middle of each square...we will see.
I have finished the tree section now on my Winter Woods cross stitch. This picture was taken before I was quite done. The next section is started now. Who knows? Can I ...

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 ...

Arizona Quilt Top and Deer Stitching
from The Cozy Quilter
I put my Arizona quilt blocks together and it is now a completed top--36"square. Before assembly, I remade a couple of the four patches. If you look closely, you can see that the cacti are now mirror images of the adjacent block in the next quadrant. Anal, I know, but I didn't like how it looked before.
I also worked on the walking foot quilting on the second potato chip baby quilt. It is about 3/4 done and I hope to finish it this week and get the binding on. One more of these tops to quilt ...

Sewing Day with Friends
from The Cozy Quilter
This has been a busy week in the sewing department! I have decided to rejoin the Rainbow Scrap Challenge again this year after a 1 year hiatus. My scraps are in bad need of being tamed! January's colour is pink so here are my two projects so far. I may add one more but I'm not sure yet. I have a pile of white 2.5" squares with small scale prints on them. I have had them for a few years and decided to use them for the centres of these hollow nine patch blocks each month. I ...

A Finish and Cross Stitch Progress
from The Cozy Quilter
TaDa! This quilt top was made at a Vice President's day quilting day at Oxford Quilter's Guild at least 3 years ago. The idea behind VP day is to work on a simple pattern chosen by the VP that can be finished in one day. I found the top in my UFO drawer and took it to one of my retreats in November where I pieced the back, pin basted it and did 3/4 of the quilting. This week, I finished the quilting and added an orange solid for the binding. This will go in the baby ...

A Handful of Smaller Quilts
from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework
I thought I would have more quilts to share today but I ran out of prepared quilt labels.
I will have lots more to share once I get them labeled!
You might feel like you have already seen this little quilt. I did share its twin a few weeks ago. I received two of these happy quilt tops from Kristin. She also sent in this lovely pink butterfly flannel backing.
Yes, we STILL have some Happy Blocks to work through. This one is all about bugs and crawly things. I had this really thick gray fleece, and I wanted to ...

Kissing Fish Baby Quilt
from Modern Sunbonnet Sue
I started this baby quilt back in February with the plan of giving it to my best friend’s son & wife at their baby shower. I did finish the top, but didn’t have time to get it quilted. I sent it out to my long-armer, Rhonda, to quilt. I prepare special labels for my baby […]

Butterflies sewn.................
from Exuberant Color
It turned out to not be as difficult as I thought it would be to assemble this quilt top. There were 4 partial seams. I added 3" strips all around so the butterflies would be surrounded by background fabric. It is 35" x 45". I'll check so see if I have enough of any of the bright prints for the backing.
The yellow Coneflower bloom is finally opened. We don't have any frost or freeze warnings at night for the next week so maybe another of the buds has a chance to bloom.
The plant has grown so ... read more
